I wonder if these guys will actually get any jail time for the 17 plants the police seized from them.

Ostrava, North Moravia, April 5 (ČTK) -- A Czech married couple was growing some 20 plants of cannabis in a special box, but the wife told the intervening police these were orchids, regional police spokeswoman Gabriela Holčaková told the Czech News Agency.

The couple then produced marijuana from the plants.

The policie seized 17 plants, Holcakova said.

If convicted, the couple may be sentenced up to five years in prison, Holčaková said.

The police uncovered the mini-lab by chance, she added.

The man faced some health problems, behaving aggressively. He destroyed the furniture in the flat.

What does that say to me?
Number 0- dont have a crazy mental boyfriend if you are growing dope.
Number 1- dont call the police on your crazy boyfriend if you are growing dope.
Number 2- Stick to the 5 plant limit. there were 2 of them so 10 plants would have been fine. Dont be greedy.

I expect there is more to this story than published- it will be interesting to see if there is an actual conviction. Sure the papers can say 'could be sentenced to 5 years' but thats like saying someone 'could' be sentenced to 10,000kc fine for jaywalking- every heard of that happening?

Lets see what happens.
