More dumb pot busts

Here's one more of these ridiculous busts. A bigger one at one hundred plants, but again busted by expensive helicopter flyovers and look at them. The photo is of the actual plants. They are claiming there's a potential for one pound per plant but those are barely beginning to flower and they look like they haven't even been sexed out yet. The male plants are useless and it takes until they get about that big to figure out which ones are males. Usually that's about half the plants. Those would all be culled in the first place and those skinny female plants are not going to yield a pound of buds each. That is the best you can hope to get under optimal conditions. It just doesn't happen most of the time. No way that field is worth $200,000 but again I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of the law enforcement side of this bust doesn't approach at least half of that.

And don't get me started on DNA testing the cannabis to hold in a bank for some future "conspiracy to spread cannabis around the world" charge. It takes weeks and months for the courts to get DNA results on humans in murder cases and they want to tie up the labs with this penny-ante stuff? It's time for our government to get their priorities straight and going around tearing up beneficial flora should not even be on the list.
