CORPUS CHRISTI - What was initally thought to be one of the largest marijuana plant seizures in the police department's history turned into what amounted to a city park cleanup Thursday night.
Shortly after 8:00pm, a teen riding his bike through Waldron Park in Flour Bluff discovered what he thought were marijuana plants growing there.
Police later hauled away 300-400 medium-sized plants that they also believed was marijuana.
If fact, officers only stopped collecting the plants because it got too dark, and planned to return in the morning to look around for more.
However, after spending more than an hour removing and tagging the hundreds of plants, then hauling it all down the police department downtown, testing revealed that none of it was marijuana at all.
No word yet on what the plants actually were, or how it will be disposed of now.
According to the city's Brush Collection Schedule, the next set out period for the area of town that includes the police station doesn't begin downtown until May 31.[/release]
Dear Texas police,
This is cannabis:

This is a weed:

That's awesome. They basically got their park weeded for free.

Unless it wasn't a weed, and was in fact something intentionally cultivated, in which case it sucks.
But really, that looks like a weed to me.
That plant in the OP looks nothing like marijuana
Dear lazy gardeners,
If you want your garden weeded for free, have a local kid call the police and tell them they suspect weed in your garden.
Voila! Fresh garden, no weeds.
Next time they should try to weed out the false tips.
Words cannot express how amusing Texas has been lately.
Wrong kind of weed guys.
Even a 6 year old could tell that that's not cannabis
Oh wow, they wasted their time over Elephant Ear Plants?
Fail.
How dim can you be.
I guess they'd probably never seen a real Marijuana plant before or something.
I'm willing to trade Puerto Rico into Statehood in exchange for Texas.

Lay off, will you?
A few officers pull a stupid thing like this and then you make it sound like our entire police force as sub-par.
Next you'll suggest we should strip them of their sidearms and just give them truncheons like the UK police.

[QUOTE=Thomo;22124170]Texas
Total retards (excluding the honest and smart facepunchers and obvious citizens)
if I gave someone in Texas painkillers i'd be busted for pills or speed, meth whatever you know.[/QUOTE]
Actually the cops aren't all even that bad. I was joking around with a cop yesterday about weed and he was like "yeah I heard you had some green in ya car, you better give me some or I'll take you in" and it was pretty awesome.
Also, my uncles were cops, and they got me into gaming when I was 2. :c00l:
Looks like the bad cops will be weeded out.
This being right after the education "reforms," my faith in Texas couldn't be lower right now.
How come everything loaded correctly except for the image of that pot plant? I wanted to see it :(
in an case of a amazing thread title

I'm pretty sure cannabis falls under the weed category.

UK police does have guns, what are you talking about?
Texas is the new California.

Atleast they wouldn't go around shooting small kids and pets
[QUOTE=thisispain;22125747]UK police does have guns, what are you talking about?[/QUOTE]
Only special units have guns, The ones just patrolling are unarmed.

I wouldn't call pepper spray and metal truncheons unarmed :havlat:
