Dutch police in cannabis mix-up

Dutch police in cannabis mix-up

Police on Wednesday announced they had discovered a plantation of some 47,000 cannabis plants with a street value of 4.4m euros ($6.3m; £3.8m).
They had destroyed much of the crop when they were told the plants belonged to a respected school of agriculture.
They were a type of hemp, being grown as a fibre for use in textiles.
The hemp plants looked like cannabis, but contained only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive substance found in marijuana.
They were being grown in the field near Lelystad, Flevoland province under licence by researchers from Wageningen University who were studying the hemp variety as a potential sustainable source of textiles.
"The street value from a drug point of view is less than zero," the university's Simon Vink told AP news agency.
Under Dutch law, cannabis is a controlled substance, and its large-scale production is illegal.
However a policy of tolerance is applied to individual users.

You didn't read the article, did you? The field belongs to a university of agriculture, it wasn't "a grower", it was a scientific project.

Yeah, but it just goes to show how uneducated the people "in charge" are. They can't even tell the difference between an illegal grow op of marijuana and a hemp farm with permission. You think they might look that kind of stuff up before running around ripping up everything with a cannabis leaf.

they know - its all about the $$$$$ - work now - ask questions later - maybe they will be so intimidated/scared they wont say shit and they can just press charges and take what they want.

it just so happened that it was legit so in the end -
they sorta had that come back in their face -
