Marijuana or pot tileCLINTON, Conn. – A Connecticut man faces numerous drug charges after police say he posted a YouTube video of himself giving a tour of what he calls his marijuana garden.
Police in the shoreline town of Clinton, about 20 miles east of New Haven, arrested William Bradley, 46, on Monday following a six-month investigation.
In the video, a man identifying himself as Bradley says he’s growing marijuana because it helps relieve symptoms of his terminal cancer. He also solicits donations, saying he wants to give away marijuana to people who need it for medical reasons, instead of selling it to help support himself. Some of the plants are taller than he is.
“Welcome to my beautiful garden,” the man says. “As you can see, God has gifted me with an abundance and it’s more than I need, so I want to take the extra and give it to people who need the help.”
He says in the video that it’s October and he intends to harvest the plants in a couple weeks.
