Tomatoes, Weed, what’s the difference?
A crack team of constables tore apart a Scottish house after mistaking tomato plants for marijuana - explicitly stating their obvious confusion as they burst through the door.
Lulu Matheson had been growing tomatoes on her windowsills and these seemingly set the alarm bells ringing for the local police. Obviously the Northern Constabulary’s training criteria doesn’t include teaching their recruits how to visually identify the devil’s other weed - especially as the plants actually had tomatoes hanging from them.
The answer to this whole problem, the ongoing employment of UK petty crime detection units aside, is fairly obvious. Legalize it. Pretty easy. The constables like the ones in this story can get back to frying fish and chips.
As of December 4th, the cops still had not apologized to Mrs. Matheson or her son, Gus.
Thanks to the Telegraph for the info.
