New Jersey town caught growing marijuana on High Street

Citizen discovers pot plants growing in Millville flower baskets.
The marijuana plant has been around and has a rich history. Chinese cultures were growing pot more than 2,000 years ago.
For some New Jerseyans, when you talk about the fall harvest, they are not talking sweet Jersey corn or plump pumpkins. It's pot.
Enter Millville, New Jersey ... a quiet town of about 27,000 residents and about an hour's drive from Atlantic City.
Two plants, which appeared to be of the cannabis persuasion, were found growing in one of the city-owned hanging flower baskets by a person strolling along the city's Glasstown Arts District. :watchplant:
The basket that held the plants was, fittingly, located on High Street.
According to pressofAtlanticCity.com, three uniformed officers propped up a ladder next to the lamp post and retrieved the basket early Tuesday afternoon.
The two plants were plucked from the bucket and taken to the police station. :cop:
The flowers are maintained by the city's Parks and Recreation Department. Officials with the department could not be reached for comment. :smoke1:
Town resident Pam Elliott wondered aloud how long the plants had been growing and why no one spotted them until Tuesday.
"I love flowers, right," she said. "We watch the guys every day, faithfully come out and water and fertilize every basket.
That fertilizer is so good." :hubba:
