Just… there are no words.
If you’re going to have, I dunno, a TASKFORCE, could you maybe make sure there are people with some kind of, I dunno, DRUG PLANT EXPERIENCE on it? They don’t have to be gardeners, per se. They don’t have to have heard of OKRA. Or hibiscus, or tomatoes, apparently. Just… is it too much to ask that they maybe know something about pot? Else it makes us wonder just that little bit more about our “war on drugs.”

The head of each police drug squad should be required to take a botanical identification course.
