Okay, so the cops in Texas ain't so smart, but the thing about how America government has gone "reefer madness" over a harmless plant is the really scary part. Really, if you've ever seen the movie Reefer Madness, it's the complete opposite of how reality is. The government has gone crazy insane in their obsession with drugs. All the "harms associated" with drugs come from the draconian laws they inflict on the population. Every death associated with cannabis, was from a gun, either a cops gun, or someone that felt "ripped off" because the price relates to the laws, and the laws are what fuel the associated crimes. We learned this lesson back in the 1930's, well, those of us that paid attention. There's where the criminal negligence of our government really shines. Nixon started this war on drugs, not congress. Anybody that's familiar with the constitution knows that the congress has the power to declare war, not the crooked president. And this is a war, it's funded just like a war, it's fought like a war, SWAT is completely militarized. But it's a war on the American people, by our own government. It's the government that causes the greater harm in trying to enforce their policy. Their policy founded on voo doo science and lies, which they use public funds to print and publish and spread their misinformation, is a bad policy, they know this but refuse to modify it to fit the actual situation. Drug addiction is not a criminal issue, it's the laws that make it such. Drug addictionis a medical issue, but it's the laws that make medicat treatment difficult.

But, anyhow, just how funny is it that these cops pulled out 300 MINT plants, hauled them to the station for testing, and made themselves the poster child for drug hysteria? It's a sick twisted country we live in.
