One Awesome Shrub

British police have decided not to press any charges against the elderly couple who had been unknowingly cultivating a huge cannabis plant in their garden.
 
The plant was seized Monday in Bedfordshire, central England. The police later posted a picture on Twitter with comments: "Elderly couple bought shrub at car boot sale," adding that it was the "biggest cannabis plant we had seen!!"

All I can say is it that it makes a gorgeous shrub. :o

I don't believe their story.  There's a smoker to one side of it and a pig to the other, waiting to be cured with some potent smoke.

I have seen them growing in yards before but this on is big and bushy.  It is a nice plant I am sure it would have a place as an ornamental if it wasn't illegal.

Poor plant, now destroyed, for sneaking up on elderly people in the UK.

Oh, there's no WAY they didn't know it was weed.  I love that they were believed, though.   :laugh:

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Plenty of people who do not recognise the plant, even here, in the Netherlands, where you are "allowed" to grow up to five of your own, if there is no one to object to it.
