A Capitol offense? Cannabis found in Statehouse flower beds

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Almost three dozen cannabis plants have been found growing in the flower beds in front of the Vermont Statehouse, police said Friday.
A visitor to the Statehouse alerted police to what turned out to be 34 plants found by officers this week among the cultivated flowers that line the walkway in front of the building in Montpelier.
Workers for the branch of state government responsible for the gardens might have found more plants, said Capitol Police Chief Matthew Romei.
The chief said that he didn’t know whether the immature plants were marijuana or hemp and that he doesn’t intend to have the plants tested to see because he foresees no criminal case.

In Vermont, possession of small amounts of marijuana for recreational use is legal, but it remains illegal to grow it in public. Farmers can plant hemp as a cash crop.
“The only way we can make a criminal case is if someone comes down and claims it,” Romei said Friday.
Officials have made similar discoveries in the Statehouse flower gardens in previous years, Romei said, but it was the first instance in the two years he has been chief.
“This was a humorous thing to come back to off from vacation,” Romei said of Monday’s discovery.

They do this in my area, even though it's illegal the police now leave them be and let people take an interest in them as they walk past, although there is hundreds of cameras on them lol.

Reading on that news page and it says about someone using a sub to transport drugs now, these dealers are upping there game aren't they .
