Cannabis Sativa is the flower of a plant that is dried and smoked, vaporized, or ingested in food through cooking with canna-butter. When used the active chemical in the plant, thc, works in the brain causing the user to feel "high." This can be described and experienced in many different ways depending how it agrees or disagrees with the user. Most commonly effects are a feeling of a calm easy escape from the everyday stress on the mind, laughing, "munchies", as well as many other feelings.

The man made it very easy for the police to find him, he used his real name.

Police searched his house and was able to take in one large cannabis plant and hydroponics equipment for grow house purposes.

Metro.co.uk.com reports:

PC Adrian Peck, of Avon and Somerset police, said: "The male had been videoing the growth of the plant over a number of months and uploading his horticultural endeavors onto the site to document it - providing us with fairly conclusive evidence.
"The cultivation of cannabis is illegal. If you break the law and are foolish enough to then advertise your criminal activities on the Internet, it makes it very easy for the Police to catch you."

The man admitted to the police that he was cultivating cannabis. He received an official police warning. It is against police policy to release a person's name if they have received a warning.
