Skunk is not GM, its the tips (ie the buds) of the cannabis plant. Please try to keep this fact clear of politcal rambling, or the dammed thing will never be legalised.

Mobile phone camera?

Were the photos taken with a mobile phone camera? I guess they're good for taking covert snapshots, which could be handy in the thick of a potentially arrestable situation, but I'm still not inclined to upgrade my antique non-camera phone before it stops working.

Hippy Dave's comment is totally trollworthy and should be ignored in the main, but he's got a point about the image quality in my humble opinion. Is there some kind of digital (as opposed to optical) zoom going on there - where the picture is enlarged by spacing the pixels out and guessing the colour of the new pixels in-between them? If so, then they'd probably look better without the zoom but smaller. But well done for taking and posting them anyway.

I think I'll stick with my dedicated digital camera for now, even if its bulk does make it a bit inconvenient at times :-)
