Hundreds Of 'Pot Plants' Seized By Texas Cops Aren't Marijuana

[DIGITALHIPPY]

CORPUS CHRISTI - What was initally thought to be one of the largest marijuana plant seizures in the police department's history turned into what amounted to a city park cleanup Thursday night.

Shortly after 8:00pm, a teen riding his bike through Waldron Park in Flour Bluff discovered what he thought were marijuana plants growing there.

Police later hauled away 300-400 medium-sized plants that they also believed was marijuana.

If fact, officers only stopped collecting the plants because it got too dark, and planned to return in the morning to look around for more.

However, after spending more than an hour removing and tagging the hundreds of plants, then hauling it all down the police department downtown, testing revealed that none of it was marijuana at all.

No word yet on what the plants actually were, or how it will be disposed of now.

According to the city's Brush Collection Schedule, the next set out period for the area of town that includes the police station doesn't begin downtown until May 31.

Huge bust in Texas

Huge bust in Texas

It took the dumb shit cops all day to cut and haul in the largest marijuana discovery in department history.

Trouble is, none of them knew it was just a common garden weed:

Texas cops mistake actual weed for marijuana, spend hours doing yard work

A recently discovered cache of plants, initially pegged by officials speaking to local news as "one of the largest marijuana plant seizures in the police department's history," turned out to be a relatively common prairie flower of little significance.

Texas officers ultimately spent hours laboring to tag and remove up to 400 plants from a city park, discovering only after a battery of tests that they had been sweating over mere Horse Mint, a member of the mint family -- effectively turning their ambitious drug bust into mere yard work.
