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(zhǎng)旺盛的植物究竟是什么,直到一名路過的副警長(zhǎng)告訴他們那是大麻。Yavapai縣警局說,上周三一名副警長(zhǎng)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(zhǎng)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。”
