Ever want to do something fun and seemingly private, like grow a marijuana plant, but weren’t quite sure of the legality of your hobby? A Connecticut man in this precise situation did the ethical thing and inquired of his local authorities whether his marijuana was illegal– except the “local authorities” he contacted were 911, and he had the emergency officer on the phone for several minutes after answering the question “Is this an emergency?” with varying degrees of “not really.”

This the latest from Fox News, which aired what is quite possibly the least stressful 911 call ever recorded. When the dispatcher asks where the emergency was occurring, the caller casually requested, “let’s not get into that,” and, as mentioned, replied “well, not really?” He then proceeded to tell the dispatcher, “I was just growing marijuana,” described his plant as a “seedling,” and amicably replied “alright, thanks for the info!” once notified that he could, in fact, get arrested. And he did, several minutes after the phone call occurred. You really have to wonder if he was high when he made the phone call.

The report via Fox News (and the hilarious 911 call) below:

911, Dept. of Vital Information, fox news, Kind of makes you want to be a 911 dispatcher, Marijuana, marijuana seedlings, worst 911 call ever

This guy is demonstrating the very reason they call this stuff “DOPE!”

NEVER, have I EVER seen anything good coming from the use of Marijuana, except of course, if we could get all of the “Greenies” to smoke dope, then our world would probably be a better place.

Nothing beats the one from a few years ago where a guy called 911 in a panic because he and his wife/girlfriend ate too many pot brownies and they thought they were going to die.

It could have been worse; he could have first called the operator to get the number for 911. maybe he did.

I have to disagree on this one. If you use it for medical reasons then I say legalize it. Even if you use it to relax instead of a beer or hard liquior I say why not. Put the same restrictions on it as you do drinking. I have seen both being used and to me drinking is far worse than weed anyday and NO, I don’t use it. Back in the early 70′s yes. It mellows you out and doesn’t make you angry like hard liquior. You might laugh a lot and eat yourself silly but I don’t see the harm in it.

This isn’t exactly how it used to be but the concept does carry over.

It’s sad to me how the media can find humor in this story, They are sick people not this boy, and our police are just as rotten, anti christ police without souls! One called me the other day and said I was placed on a verbal no contact order by a hospital I was suing The hospital did something wrong! I told this deputy ‘Narwski You know I I am suing them for you, It must be rotten to not be able to think for yourself as the poor people these hospitals pray on to make them do un-needed procedures just so they can make more money and one day it could be your poor family they do it too!
Than I hung up on him you people that find this funny, what this child did are rotten people, without hearts and you to me are walking dead people, ‘OK that i will point out just like christ!
‘Amen’
