 Northern Territory police say the young man seemed to believe his dad’s torching of the cannabis was far worse than the possession in the first instance 
 
 An Australian man has called the police on his father for setting fire to his crop of cannabis plants. "Things came to a head yesterday evening and the father allegedly threw all of his son's cannabis plants onto the bonfire and completely destroyed them," Duty Superintendent Jorgensen said. “The son felt this was wrong and reported the matter to police.” 
 
 Officers attended the Humpty Doo residence, 40km south of Darwin, and confirmed the accusation, before questioning whether the young man knew it was against the law to possess cannabis. Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said no charges were laid or anticipated because any evidence of a drug stash had been destroyed. "The evidence has been destroyed as has the son's reputation... people don't usually come forward to say their drug stash has been destroyed or stolen but there you go," the police woman said.
– A young man from Australia got into it with his dad Tuesday night and ended up placing a phone call that has police shaking their heads, the Guardian reports. When cops showed up at the Humpty Doo home in the Northern Territory, the "indignant and enraged" son threw his dad under the bus for what he saw as the ultimate crime: chucking his "prized cannabis plants" into a bonfire after they'd argued. "He seemed to believe that the destruction of the [pot] was far worse than the possession," officer Louise Jorgensen says. Per ABC Australia, the son collected some belongings and went to stay with other family members, but he's not expected to face charges, even though it's illegal to grow or possess pot. "The evidence has been destroyed, as has the son's reputation," Jorgensen notes. (Perhaps he was growing it to help Alzheimer's patients.)
