Texas Cops announce biggest marijuana seizure ever... NOT!

After spending hours pulling "marijuana" plants out of a local park, Corpus Christi police were dismayed to discover that the weed was just that- a weed known as horse mint. In other news, watch this video to find out how you can make police do your yard work!

I have a false aralia that looks a lot more like a pot plant than these weeds. Memo to self: Do not move to Corpus Christi. I'm not a person that uses netspeak a lot but I definitely lolled at this one.

I don't understand.. Have they NEVER busted a grow house before? ever?

Seriously, it looks like a weed not pot.

"The leaves are oblong-elliptical to lanceolate, 5–10 cm long and 1.5–3 cm broad, thinly to densely tomentose, green to greyish-green above and white below....
Scent: "A peppermint-scented aroma"

white on underside of leaves, their hands reeked of peppermint...

Who could ever be this stupid? Not one single cop said... wait a minute I don't think this is weed, like I've seen on t-shirts, bumberstickers, my fucking cop training.

How is this even remotely okay?

The government's flailing and *failing war on drugs is consuming much-needed police time and resources, pursuing pointless fabrications of a harmless weed.

The ignorance demonstrated here is absolutely shameful...

if it wasn't so hilarious it would be abhorrent.

(btw, postscript to the story is that the cops and the kid smoked all the horsemint they harvested and ate an entire bag of cookies while watching cartoons.)

While hilarious and a fail for sure, the comedy channel is for the intentionally funny. Where do you see a howto??? How to suck at a simple job? Also, this is a news report...obvious channel assignments are obvious...

*nochannel *drugs *law *fail *news

Considering the cops supposedly pulled all of the offending plants, why does everyone assume that the ones shown in the video are the offending plants? Lazy sensational reporting, surprised this isn't a Faux News affiliate...

Every cop probably wanted to say something while they were pulling them out but didn't want to be the one to bring it up. Happens all the time. Imagine the suspicious stares you'd get from the other cops when you started talking about missing buds and palmate leaf venation. You'd be the pothead of the squad from then on.
