Scraggly Marijuana

Man's marijuana plants more of an embarrassment than a crime

February 6, 2002 — Pot is still illegal, even if it isn't very good marijuana. But an Oregon man is being given a bit of break because of the sorry state of his weed.

William Atchley could have been sentenced to a maximum of 20 years for growing three marijuana plants at his home in Ashland. But his lawyer argued the plants were so scraggly they were more of an embarrassment than a crime.

Judge Raymond White was swayed by the logic. Instead of going to the joint, Atchley is getting probation for his bad weed. Along with the one-year probation, Atchley has to pay a $500 fine.
