Troopers now take DNA samples from each plant they find. That enables them to link one plant to dozens or even hundreds of others.Technology, dood...

If someone is arrested five years from now for growing that first plant, police could make a case that the same person was responsible for a much larger crime, and possibly take the case to federal court. Any defense attorney worth a nickle would make mincemeat out of that argument.

One hundred plants? Are you kidding me?? State Troopers pulled up 891 plants from two patches near Danville West Virginia last thursday and friday.
I was with them two years ago when they eradicated 1400 plants from one mountainside.
And as for catching people in the act, they seldom do. About the only time cops ever catch a grower is if someone stumbles on 20 plants on someone's back porch.

It's amazing the breeding and selection that has gone into marijuana - dwarf plants that grow under lights, that produce an enormous number of flower buds, whose active substances have been multiplied I don't know how many times - I think I may have figured out how to solve world hunger - we could make rice or corn illegal...and see what the breeders do...

Really, it is truly a JOKE!
In several of the midwestern states, marijuana grows WILD - by literally MILLIONS of plants!!!
(That's because the US govt encouraged farmers to grow marijuana during WW II, now the govt has changed its mind, but it is to late, THE WEED has ESCAPED!)
Perhaps we should pull out of the Middle East and all of the military bases all over the world, and spend up all the resources of the world's great superpower -
to pull THE WEED!

In all, police found 100 marijuana plants worth about $200,000 on the street. Someone forgot to make their contribution the the LEO retirement fund.

That's hard to believe.
Do you have directions to these millions of plants?

just so's you know... that mid-west ditch weed is ABLOULTELY WORTHLESS!!!
you could smoke it till you pass out from smoke inhalation and you won't get high.
not only that, but every year people from out of the area get caught cutting it and jailed as if it were good weed!
live and learn

Wow after all those trips, wasting lots of gas they finally found some plants that they can't pin on anyone. Well at least the chopper pilots had fun.

Heh, and IIRC, states spend somewhere along the lines of tens of million dollars a year eradicating this ditchweed.

What is amazing is that they can spot one plant from a
moving helo, but Islamix terrorists walk across
our borders all the time.
