Pot Plants In Wisconsin Capitol Explain So Much

It looks like the grounds crew at the Wisconsin State Capitol haven't been keeping up on their, um, weeding: Capitol workers on Friday removed what appear to be several cannabis plants from a flower bed near the west entrance to the statehouse building that were planted without officials' knowledge. Department of Administration spokeswoman Tatyana Warrick said department staff were made aware of the plants in question on Capitol grounds by a media outlet on Thursday. "We do not have the expertise to confirm whether the plants were cannabis, but our facilities staff have examined the area and removed the plants," Warrick said. Shelby Ellison, an assistant professor in the Department of Plant and Agroecosystem Sciences at UW-Madison, said the plants looked purposefully planted in the flower beds that contained mostly tulips but that it was unclear whether the plants could be used as marijuana without further testing. The picture in the article shows the plants are pretty tall, which makes one wonder just how long it has been since the grounds workers did any weeding (pun intended). The article also doesn't say what happened to the cannabis plants or whether they would be tested.
