The idiotic war on (some) drugs

It's being waged by idiots:
Georgia police raided a retired Atlanta man's garden last Wednesday after a helicopter crew with the Governor's Task Force for Drug Suppressionspotted suspicious-looking plants on the man's property. A heavily-armed K9 unit arrived and discovered that the plants were, in fact, okra bushes.
Now, I know that a lot of folks like to hate on okra, but this is going too far.  Try it deep fried, fellows - it's not slimy that way.  You could have some on April 20th ...

And why, even if it was a few pot plants, did they need to come heavy?

Okra. Battered and fried. Yum.

ASM826, once you've got a SWAT team, you need to keep using it to justify the budget, of course.

Fried is my favorite. Gumbo second best.
This happens so often, though.
He must have had a lot of okra.

Wait.
I'm confused.
I thought thought 4-20 referred to quitting time in Amsterdam not April 20th.
Or, are you referencing something else? (I do "get" most of the cartoons in The New Yorker in the waiting room at the Drs office)

waepnedmann, I do believe that Amsterdam is the explanation.
