Dutch police who mowed down what they thought were illicit marijuana plants were red-faced Thursday when it emerged they'd actually ruined a research group's officially sanctioned field of hemp.

Police proudly announced Wednesday that they'd found more than 47,000 cannabis plants, with an estimated street value of nearly €4.5 million (£3.9 million) concealed in a corn field in the Flevoland province east of Amsterdam.

They mowed down half the plants only to be informed they were the property of Wageningen University and Research Center, a respected agricultural school.

Police proudly announced Wednesday that they'd found more than 47,000 cannabis plants, with an estimated street value of nearly €4.5 million (£3.9 million) concealed in a corn field in the Flevoland province east of Amsterdam.

They mowed down half the plants only to be informed they were the property of Wageningen University and Research Center, a respected agricultural school.

The field contained a new strain of hemp that researchers hope can be a sustainable source of fiber, Simon Vink, a spokesman for the executive board of Wageningen University and Research Center, said Thursday.

Hemp plants are related to marijuana but have only trace elements of THC, the mind-altering chemical that cannabis contains.

'The street value from a drug point of view is less than zero,' Vink said.

Sweet feathery hell that's funny.

you would think.. or that they would be in some sort of communication with authorities. Just to go out and start planting without any headsup is extremely dumb.

Please kmar if you're going to post a news story add a little more original content for discussion. Two pics (one a walrus ffs) and a "Sweet feathery hell that's funny" line doesn't constitute as interesting. lololol

and yet you and your fellow officers continue to lock my threads that try to create an open forum for discussion on the stereotypes that keep the colored man down
