Senior citizens find nurtured "weed" is pot
Arizona seniors had no idea what the flourishing plant they nurtured in their driveway was until a passing deputy told them it was marijuana. A Yavapai County sheriff's department said a deputy spotted the blooming 5-foot-tall marijuana plant growing in the driveway of a retirement community near Prescott, midweek. "The residents just thought it was a pretty weed and so they decided to nurture it," department spokeswoman Susan Quayle told Reuters by telephone. The officer yanked out the plant, which Quayle said was either "self-seeded or could have been dropped by a grandchild visiting the community." "No citations were issued. The officer just educated them," she said.
退休老人誤把大麻當(dāng)花養(yǎng)
亞利桑那的一些老人不知道自己在車道上悉心照料的一種生長旺盛的植物究竟是什么,直到一名路過的副警長告訴他們那是大麻。Yavapai縣警局說,上周三一名副警長發(fā)現(xiàn)這種五英尺高的大麻植物在Prescott附近一處養(yǎng)老社區(qū)的車道上長得花繁葉茂。警局發(fā)言人Susan Quayle在電話里告訴路透社記者說:“那里的居民以為那只是一種好看的野草,于是就決定養(yǎng)起來。這種植物可能是偶然自己生根發(fā)芽的,也可能是來訪的某個(gè)孫輩撒下的種子。警官已經(jīng)拔掉了這種植物,進(jìn)行了宣傳教育,但沒有發(fā)出法庭傳票。”
