Marijuana Found Growing In Downtown Sidewalk Planter

Marijuana Found Growing In Downtown Sidewalk Planter
POSTED: 9:41 am EDT July 19, 2006 LaPORTE, Ind. -- An anonymous caller led a police officer to a 3-foot-tall marijuana plant growing in a brick planter along a downtown sidewalk.
The planters are maintained by the city's Business Improvement District, a group of local business owners who for years have organized volunteers to weed each of the 130-plus planters.
That work, however, did not catch the marijuana plant that Officer John Butcher found Monday night.
Chief of Detectives Adam Klimczak said the marijuana was likely planted on purpose, but he had no idea who might have done it. Butcher pulled the plant and took it to the police station, where it was destroyed.
The planters, which have a built-in sprinkler system, were built in the late 1990s as part of a downtown improvement project that included the addition of brick sidewalks and old-fashioned street lamps in the city about 25 miles west of South Bend.
Dave Sanderson, president of the Business Improvement District, suspected the marijuana was planted as a joke and said that the volunteers were unlikely to have noticed it.
"I wouldn't know a marijuana plant from a dandelion," he said. "I'm not sure if they would either."

Dude, settle down. It was on a downtown sidewalk. The gardener had to have little expectation it would ever make it to a harvest. Someone probably sat there and rolled a joint. I'm absolutely amazed that it made it to 3 feet tall.
This is hillarious! Even more hillarious that you're mad instead of laughing at their stupidity in that a pot plant grew to an amazing 3 feet tall in an outright public place right in front of them and no-one noticed.

This reminds me of when they've found pot plants in the middle of Pearl St. mall in boulder.
Fucked up that somebody would call the cops though, shit.

I heard one time in a Salt Lake City mall, pigs had found a plant over 5 feet with many branches that appeared to have recently put out a harvest, which was harvested lol, obviously undetected by anyone who could snitch. And what about that plant inside the colorado gov's garden? SOmeone out there is playing the role of Johnny Weedseed, and perhaps we all need to follow suit, I have a latex glove full, just need to point and shoot. Ive always wondered about starting an outdoor patch of MJ, Shrooms, cactus, whatever, perhaps in a million years, my actions could affect the fate of that plant.

my friends and I found an indican male growing in the carpark at the beach near a tap. It was about 2 feet tall and was just starting to flower. Seeing as it was male, I ripped the little bugger out of the ground and ate every last morsel of it (stem and all). Tasted pretty... spicy but was probably nutritious.
It's funy how pot can grow right in front of the public's face and all-seeing eye and it doesn't hurt anyone at all. Doesn't 'plague the surrounding area with it's druggie badness'

where do you think all the seeds around here go? yup, right outside the campus police station. even they get somewhat of a kick out of having to dig up the pot plants every year.

I heard that once there was some kind of a public garden that was maintained in part by police officers, and there were weed plants and the cops took care of 'em and didn't even notice what they were untill someone informed them. haha. heard that one years ago.
