if youre a smoker and dont have an ashtray, or a college student and dont have an almost empty beer can to ash into... youre doing it wrong. this guy was both and is learning his lesson the hard way.

Yup, but an arson charge for dumping ashes into a garbage can is absurd. No way in hell they charge him with that if it's a cig instead of weed.

Arson is arson whether it is with spent cig or dube.

Doesn't arson imply intent? Sounds like the dude was reckless and neglagent but more than anything was just high as fu*k! The arson charge will probably get dropped.

I see the next weed propoganda commercial. Instead of the kid shooting the other kid, he will dump the ashes out into a trash can burning down a vets office with nothing but kittens and puppies in it. Oh the horror.

This should be no surprise. It said he attends Medaille. That hardly qualifies him as a 'college student'.

[Wacka]

Hardly qualifies him as a man. That was or was known as a woman's college years ago,.

Well it said he was attending for elementary education he'll no longer be able to do that.
