An 81 year old woman who was growing a single marijuana plant in her yard was swatted this spring/early summer here in Massachusetts. What a ridiculous waste of time and money.

I love this part about someone else who was swatted:
[ In 2014, marijuana eradicators in Georgia raided a retiree’s garden after mistaking okra for marijuana. ]
I grew up in farming community and there were a few farmers who were raided for growing pot in their corn field... They didn’t plant the stuff, but they had to undergo a virtual prostate exam of all their property before the DEA agents realized it was probably someone else who planted it in their corn field who was going to harvest it later, but since they made such a huge production of raiding the farm they basically screwed up because they people who were going to harvest it never did show up....
