A man who admitted growing cannabis has been spared jail by a judge and will now go on to study horticulture.
Joseph Collins, 24, pleaded guilty at Truro Crown Court to growing cannabis plants while at Falmouth University.
Judge Christopher Harvey Clark said he was aware public schoolboy Collins came "from a good Christian family" and had been to a "very good school".
He gave Collins a six-month suspended sentence and said he should "start a new life" at horticultural college.

not sure why its illegal - it would solve all the worlds problems in many ways -
pharmaceuticals are poison.
He was given no separate penalty for guilty pleas to charges of possession of MDMA, cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms and methylphenidate.
