Dumb Pigs...
GULFPORT, Mississippi (AP) -- Narcotics officers thought they had made a big bust when they seized 500 suspicious plants from Marion Waltman.
Authorities say the plants looked like marijuana, but they turned out to be protein plants used to bulk up deer.
Waltman says the kenaf plant does look like marijuana.
"But it has seven leaves at the top and okra-looking leaves at the bottom," he said. "Marijuana only has five leaves. Any drug officer should have been able to figure it out."
Now Waltman's angry and he wants authorities to compensate him for his loss.
Harrison County Sheriff George H. Payne Jr. says he never reported the plants were marijuana, only that they appeared to be the illegal weed.
"We knew we were going to be criticized, whatever we did," Payne said. "We decided it was in the best interests of the public to remove it and test it. We had received complaints of people going out there and pulling off the leaves."
Waltman, president of the Boarhog Hunting Club, says he planted the kenaf, a high-protein plant that reportedly attracts deer and increases their size, in three fields the club leases from a timber company. He says he paid $2,000 for a ton of kenaf and hemp seeds.
Waltman blames the sheriff's department for tearing up the land and destroying his investment in plants.
"I want him to fix the road and compensate me for the plants," said Waltman, 53. "They drove heavy equipment right down the center of my field. That crop would have been good until the second hard freeze."

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action. If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway
If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus

One of the reasons marijuana is illegal today because growers in the 30s lobbied against hemp farmers -- they saw it as competition, because It is not chemically addictive as is nicotine, alcohol, or caffeine.

Thats nice, narcotic officers with a nursery school education. Probably shouldn't have dropped out of kindergarten, otherwise they'd be able to count to at least 10.

Quote:" But it has seven leaves at the top and okra-looking leaves at the bottom," he said. "Marijuana only has five leaves. "
Marijuana starts with 1 finger leafs, and can get as large as to have 15 fingers. You can get leaves of 7 on the 4th node, what some dumbasses.

When the government cuts him a check for fucking up his crop, he should go buy weed with it.
