If the adage, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, holds true citizens of Georgia have plenty to fear from their government as it is gifted with near infinitesimal knowledge of even high school botany. With a helicopter above police in paramilitary uniforms surged onto the property of Dwayne Perry of Cartersville ready to confiscate and destroy his okra crop.
“We’ve not been able to identify it as of yet, but it did have quite a number of characteristics that were similar to a cannabis plant,” Capt. Kermit Stokes, of the Georgia State Patrol, said.
He means it had pointed leaves but one would think the Governor's Drug Task Force for drug suppression would have cultivated a modicum of intelligence in its years of experience. A marijuana plant has 7 leaves; an okra plant has 5. Given the low mentality of drug enforcement agencies in general no one should be surprised the war on drugs was lost a decade ago. Declare victory and stay home.

I could see this happening in NY or Massachusetts, but Georgia? You think they would know an okra plant when they saw one.
