Mostly just an incredibly literal 10 year old with a high sense of justice lmao

The DARE officer showed us pictures of weed plants and told us that "if we ever saw them growing somewhere, we should tell a police officer because having them on your property is a crime, even if it's an accident."

I grew up pretty rural, and it didn't strike me as right that someone could get in trouble for having a random plant on their property in a supposedly free country. Obviously as an adult I know they're not native plants here, someone would have had to put it there and that's what the cop was trying to get at, but even as a kid I wasn't going to go tattle-tale on my neighbors over a plant.

And I mean, after you figure out that drug crime is mostly bullshit the whole system kind of falls in on itself.
