If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people
under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy. - Thomas Jefferson

University Pot

Dutch police did some magnificent police work this week when they found 47 thousand cannabis plants worth about $6.3 MILLION. Finding this field was a big day for those in charge and they summarily began destroying this bountiful crop.

Turns out, it wasn't cannabis, it was hemp. And, it was being grown by Wageningen University to test it as a sustainable source for textiles.

Good police work fellahs. Way to investigate before destroying public property.

Using a publicly funded force to destroy publicly funded research...

THIS is whyTHEDUTCHpaytaxes.
