Corpus Christi cops mistake mint plants for pot. Spend untold hours digging up plant.

Local police in Corpus Christi, TX spent hours laboring to remove up to 400 plants from a city park that they believed to be cannabis. They even referred to it as "one of the largest marijuana plant seizures in the police department's history." In fact, the plants were nothing more than horse mint, a common prairie flower with very little resemblance to the unmistakable cannabis sativa. Only after a battery of chemical tests did the officers determine the plants were not marijuana.
Of course, before you go calling these cops stupid, let's remember the real idiot: the politicians who keep cannabis illegal.
