LHL's Ah Neh FT grew two pots of
cannabis at yishun home after learning it online



A Indian National teen was growing two pots of cannabis at his home in
Yishun after researching online on how he could cultivate the plants.

His
offence came to light after he was arrested on suspicion of taking drugs,
reports The Straits Times.

Adith Sarvotham, 18, was yesterday sentenced
to serve three years of probation. He pleaded guilty in September to cultivating
the plants, consuming cannabis and trafficking in heroin.

While
acknowledging that drug trafficking was a serious offence, District Judge Soh
Tze Bian noted that Adith's suitability for rehabilitation was "demonstrably
high".

About a month before his arrest on Jan 15, Adith started
growing the plants after he researched the cultivation of cannabis on search
website Google.

When he was nabbed, he had six plants weighing a total of
28 grams.

Unknown to Adith, his mother, 46, was also smoking cannabis.
She has served six months in the Drug Rehabilitation Centre and was released
last month.

While out on police bail, Adith was caught by
the police for trafficking in four straws that were found to contain 0.06 grams
of heroin.

He had obtained them from a pusher near the Yio Chu
Kang MRT station and was planning to sell it to an acquaintance known to him as
Jayin.

Adith was then studying for his A levels at the BMC International
College.

Defence counsel Sunil Sudheesan said that his client had grown
up in India and came here only in the middle of last year.

"He was new to
Singapore and he consumed and shared the drugs as a result of his misguided need
to gain acceptance from his friends," said the lawyer.

Besides serving
probation, Adith will also have to perform 240 hours of community
service.

Just for the trafficking offence, he could have been jailed for
five to 20 years and caned five to 15
times.
