Accept some responsibility for goodness sakes. It will help you prevent making the exact same poor choices in the future. That's where you lost me.

Good luck to you all.
Actually, Legally it's his responsibility. Morally everyone knew what was going on in that apartment. It's not like they were clueless parents who got arrested because their kid was growing in their house secretively.

Everyone has the ability to say "No, sorry I'm not comfortable with that". In which case he obviously had to tell people what he had in his house. They knew of the consequences of getting caught.

So while part of the blame is on Bjinas, Morally... his friends getting caught is not his fault. They accepted the responsibility and the consequences when they agreed to help him.

While this might sound cold and callous I don't feel that it is.

the only two real mistakes Bjinas did was

1. Growing in an apartment and not concealing it well.
2. Picking the wrong person to assist him.

Anything else that happens to the other person is on them as they have accepted what may happen if they were to be caught by agreeing to take part in the grow (babysitting).

That being said... I don't think I would involve someone else in my grow, but that's because I'm secretive about it.. not because I think there is a moral dilema in it.

edit: Just to let everyone know I'm not some cold asshole. heh.. I would definitely feel bad about the situation but I wouldn't feel I did something morally wrong. Just legally and I would do everything in my power to help my friend; even if turning myself in would free them of charges (which it never would/will).

My argument was based on morality vs legality.

No one puts me in a bad situation but myself... I reserve the right to back out at anytime. I'm my own person and reserve the right to not do something if I feel uncomfortable or for whatever reason really.

This poor girl had the same rights.
