At first, the 34-year-old woman said she only smoked marijuana. She declined to let the deputy search her house further without a warrant, then changed her mind.

"What the heck, you don't need a warrant. I'll show you," the deputy quoted the woman as saying.

In her closet, the deputy found 10 small marijuana plants. The woman said she was growing them for personal use. She also told the deputy "it is tough to get her son to respect authority when he knows she breaks the law growing pot," the report said.

A fine weekend to all, from Scharbeutz, Scheswig-Holstein.
