Here in California I hope that this kind of thing never happens again. Growing marijuana is now such a minor crime that I'd imagine that officers would not hassle anyone over something like this. It's amazing that officers aren't smart enough to be able to distinguish between obviously different plants. In fact, that's actually hard to believe. How is that even possible?

I noticed the other day that the EQUATE (sold by WalMart) version of Airbourne uses Vitex agnus-castus (Monk's Pepper of Chaste Tree) as an ingredient. Oddly enough Airbourne uses another member of the Vitex genus. Just thought I'd throw that out there since Monk's Pepper is one of the marijuana imposters mentioned in this thread.

Looking through this thread one thing amazes me. None of these so-called imposters look all that much like marijuana. They might be generally similar, but are easy to tell apart.

How people fail to tell the difference amazes me. Are people really that dumb?
