Idaho man finds weed in his weeds
AP ^ | July 8, 2010 | no byline

A man probably wishes that he started weeding in his yard sooner. That's after he told police that he discovered a tray of some 28 marijuana seedlings in an overgrown portion of the backyard near his Moscow home...

(Assistant Police Chief David Duke) said the man who lives at the property isn't being considered a suspect.

Assistant Police Chief David Duke said his department has confiscated the plants and aims to destroy them.

They're going to burn them. One at a time.

Chances are that someone else knows about how those plants got there, even if he didn’t.

We found a bunch when we moved in here. We didn’t call the police. We used weed killer.

No need for weed killer.

These were potted.

Didn't see that. Our pot wasn't potted. It was growing in the weeds.

When I bought my first house I found out the previous owner was growing pot behind the shed. Little did I know that the largest plant had gone to seed so when I hit it with the lawn mower I wound up picking seedlings out of my yard for the next year.

The previous owner of our house was an Indian doctor.

High walls -— spring came and behind pool outbuilding and the tennis court a huge volunteer crop of marijuana came up that we didn’t notice until it was waist high.

Out came the weed killer, then weed eater, then pre-emergent.

Of course this was something he knew NOTHING about!

What a shock that must have been!!!

All those “weeds” mixed in with real weeds.

Hmmmm ... .

And to make sure they catch fire, they will dry them all out and then add some paper to make sure the flame “catches”.

Moscow is a college town, BTW. The local police have it narrowed down to 15,000 suspects.

Heck, they'll probably smoke em.

No kidding ... state police ... would bust folks and take most of the stash and have a party with it.

Do you think one caught with the stuff is going to complain and say the authorities should have charged me with MORE ? LOL!

He's lucky they didn't confiscate his home.

If David Duke runs you out of your home, you can still rally some journalists behind you.

“has confiscated the plants”

Yep. Stupid to call the cops. Just destroy it yourself.

It could only lead to trouble.
