WINSTED, Conn. - Having marijuana in your house is illegal, but having marijuana images on your house is not, according to town officials.
Five months after Christopher Seekins was arrested and charged with cultivating marijuana in his home, neighbors have complained about the giant marijuana leaves he has spray-painted on the outside of his home on High Street.
"There's no reason anybody should have a problem with it," Seekins said Wednesday.
Town officials said the marijuana paintings apparently do not conflict with local laws.
"There's nothing in the property maintenance code that deals with writing on your house," Joe Beadle, chief code enforcement officer, said.
Seekins says the large leaves are in support of the cause of the legalization of marijuana. He believes firmly in the usefulness of hemp, the coarse fiber of the cannabis plant, from textiles to paper products.
"People have the wrong impression about it," Seekins said.
In October, police said they found 100 plants inside Seekins' house, along with grow lights, fertilizers and portable heaters.
Police charged Seekins, 26, with cultivating marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Free on $10,000 bond, his court case is pending.

I'll try to dig up the story from Chicago of a neighbors complaining that another's house was unsightly (or something like that, cars in driveway) and finally painted his house an ugly BRIGHT pee green.
Seekins is a typical 'Winsted Raggy'. By the way Winsted is Ralph Nader's home town
I can't wait for the "typical" FreeRepublic niave drug warriors to get here. They know everything there is to know about pot smokers. ;-)
I'm confident that the libertarians on this forum will condemn his action and call for the full coercive force of the state to put a stop to this.
Very confident.
Drinking again, robert?
I have always wondered why people who are busted - don't do this very thing and similar. My favorite would be a large windowless van painted with a jungle of Indica in full bud growing up the sides of it.
I Love It!
You don't get out much, do you?
Try this: walk away from the computer, take a shower, put on some clothes, and go out for a restaurant meal and perhaps a movie.
Try striking up a conversation with a flesh and blood female.
Who knows? You might experience an event that could help your mental constipation.
You don't say. What is he threatening them with? Are they afraid he might decorate their houses, too?
I'm pretty sickened by the Marti Gras lighted up pot plant necklaces they use..
It's a sad state of society. I wouldn't make it illegal, but I certainly consider those that push and use them as dirt.
Electrical jewelry bothers you?
I should. It would be more stimulating than any dialog with a libertarian on this forum.
Actually, I prefer certain female companioship over the best of the WoD threads. No comparison.
That means I'm a healthy adult male.
You'd be surprised at how women are attracted to men who revere freedom, liberty, the Second Amendment and who aren't trying to play nanny to other people and takes care of his own business.
I heartily encourage you to try it.
You know, you almost have me convinced.
Basically you're saying that a person who is breaching the peace and engaging in offensive and passive-agressive behavior (though not directly harming others through force or fraud), should be allowed to engage in that activity.
I got that right?
The symbols yes. I'd be upset if they ran around with swastikas all lit up too. However, that's their right. I'll also complain though.
