Colorado police kill pot plants, get in trouble
In a strange turn of drug policy, the Colorado police have actually gotten busted for harming live marijuana plants. Yes, that's right, they are being charged with failing to protect live pot plants in their custody:
Police in Fort Follins have returned marijuana plants to a couple wrongly arrested.
Police found the growing operation after a search, but a judge ruled the search illegal.
Police gave back the drugs and the growing equipment, but the plants are dead.
...
The evidence tag says "live plants," but the Masters say they're not surprised to find 39 confiscated plants dead.
The couple's attorneys say Colorado's constitution requires police to take care of seized medical marijuana plants.
The Master's say they use pot legally to treat their own debilitating medical conditions, and grow the drug for other people who have a marijuana waiver.
This could turn out to be one of the wackiest lawsuits ever, resulting in the Colorado police having to pay damages for killing live pot plants being held in evidence. Oops.
