The guy being busted got off because the cops did not have a search warrant and they rolled up because of a fight between his sister and her boyfriend .
I hasten to add, the girl in the picture is not his sister or any of my friends sister :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: ‘boo hoo’ in retrospect.

Some us referred to the tight and curly strays as organic dental floss. But you could always spot the authentic blondes and redheads upon closer examination.

Hijacking top comment with more information:

This photo was taken in Huntington Beach, California and was taken in March-April of 1975. Supposedly his horticultural hobbies have since ended, however he does still smoke pot regularly. He lived in a tent in the backyard so that he could more easily tend to his herbs. The cops were there because my uncle got into a fist fight with his sisters boyfriend, and he called the police on my uncle because he knew that he was growing pot. Since they didn’t have a warrant for the weed they released him. When the police questioned my grandmother, in her best Edith Bunker voice she said, “I thought those were tomato plants!” He was taken to jail but he only spent a few hours there. He was never sentenced any time for this offense. In fact, the officer and my uncle became good friends after this. Unfortunately, the officer passed away from cancer about 10 years ago. I’m not sure about who took the photos, but my aunt told me there are many more photos from that night because the whole family requested to be in the pictures.

This post has connected me with a side of my family that I never knew! The daughter of the man in question (my cousin, whom I’ve never met), contacted me after I posted this picture. I can’t imagine what it’s like to see a 42 year old photo of your father randomly appear on Reddit by someone you’ve never met, but that’s what happened. Over the summer I plan on flying to California over the summer to meet my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins because of this post. Thanks Reddit!
