More Dumb Kops
GULFPORT, Mississippi (AP) -- Narcotics officers thought they had made a big bust when they seized 500 suspicious plants from Marion Waltman.
Authorities say the plants looked like marijuana, but they turned out to be protein plants used to bulk up deer.
Waltman says the kenaf plant does look like marijuana.
"But it has seven leaves at the top and okra-looking leaves at the bottom," he said. "Marijuana only has five leaves. Any drug officer should have been able to figure it out."
Even Deputy Dawg could do better (http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/South/09/11/offbeat.plants.ap/index.html)
