Smiling Frog LOL Texas

Texas cops mistake actual weed for marijuana, spend hours doing yard work

Like the old song goes, one of these things is not like the other...

However, remind a police officer in Corpus Christi, Texas of those famed Cookie Monster lyrics and they're likely to give you an annoyed look.

That's because a recently discovered cache of plants, initially pegged by officials speaking to local news as "one of the largest marijuana plant seizures in the police department's history," turned out to be a relatively common prairie flower of little significance.

Texas officers ultimately spent hours laboring to tag and remove up to 400 plants from a city park, discovering only after a battery of tests that they had been sweating over mere Horse Mint, a member of the mint family -- effectively turning their ambitious drug bust into mere yard work.

The plants, which bear very few aesthetic similarities to cannabis, were reported by an unnamed youth who came across them while riding a bike in the park around 8 p.m. on Thursday. Upon visual inspection, police apparently agreed that the inoffensive plants had to go.

Ultimately, officers were reduced to conducting chemical tests to learn their "weed" was really just that: an actual weed.

marijuana Texas cops mistake actual weed for marijuana, spend hours doing yard work"That shows exactly the caliber of police work that is done in Corpus christi, Tx," commenter Derick Sillers opined in a local NBC affiliate's comments section.

"The resident of corpus and nueces county should seriously be concerned with how their tax dollars are spent," he continued. "[This] is the same police department that serves, protects and investigates you.... does it really take that long to find out you don't have marijuana."

"Officers did not explain how their big 'drug haul' will be disposed of, now that they’ve spent untold hours and plenty of taxpayer money clearing weeds of the the city park," writer Steve Elliott summarized for News Junkie Post.

The tale is, at very least, a compelling argument for accurate, non-fear-based drug education in public schools, which advocacy groups say is sorely lacking.


I guess their police department is as competent as their School Board.

Speaking of Texas cops and weed.

My mom works as a municipal court lawyer for a large Texas city. She comes into contact with lots of cops and hears some stories. Anyway, recently they pulled a sting on a cop where they had another cop pose as a "concerned citizen" and give the first guy a large bag of pot. The guy claims he'll turn it in as evidence, but what he actually does is go straight home and dump it out there for his own personal use and sale.

The reason they were going after this guy is that his car always smells like weed. So bad, in fact, that the other cops had been refusing to ride patrol with him. The guy claims that his car smells like this because he's always catching people who have been smoking a lot and bringing them in, when in fact he's just been cruising around and toking up on the job. Thinking he had a brilliant explanation that no one would see through, I guess.

Meanwhile in West Hollywood, if you are caught with possession of small amounts of marijuana in your home, police are specifically instructed not to do anything.

I could be wrong about this, Jake knows better than me, but I believe Washington (or at least Seattle) has a similar initiate on the ballot. Oregon would probably do it after the two of us, just to be cool.

good! medical marijuana or even decriminalization of such will reduce black market trading (i suppose) with mexico and south america.

all medicinal work and experimental information that i have read have failed to show any detrimental effects of marijuana use (long term or short term)

i could be misinformed.

The best part is "it's not emo and it's not goth..."

No that's exactly what it is. Look at those cunts. The US really needs to reinstate the draft. A nice little war will fix these shits up right quick.
