War on Okra

2018-03-09 00:45:58.562783+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Heavily armed drug cops raid retiree’s garden, seize okra plants — Georgia police declare war on okra.

The Cannabis Eradication programs have historically inflated the size of their hauls by including non-psychoactive "ditchweed" in their totals of plants seized. In past years, ditchweed accounted for up to 98 percent of seized outdoor plant totals. According to the ONDCP, ditchweed still makes up an unspecified percent of outdoor plants seized.

This used to happen when I lived in Tennessee. Can we stop the stupid War On (some people who use some) Drugs already?
