I wonder if you could use Tomato leaf and stem to make useful things like paper,and such as you can with hemp?

Those aren't tomato plants either, at least I've never grown a tomato plant with leaves like that. Take a closer look.

How stupid, they are not pot plants, Is that all the NYPD has to do? They should worry more about whats going on down on the ground,than whats growing on a roof top, maybe they should make it legal and not waste the tax payers $ on a weed growing!!!!!

Actually, those are marijuana plants. By now, someone should get it right; the superintendent, the police, the reporter, the photographer, the editor or someone.

Ditto Jim. I have saw quite a few hemp plants in my lifetime. I grew up in the 60's. That is definitely hemp plants in at least one pic.

Maybe they are the kind that has low THC and used for fiber? ;)

Oh and by the way, I have saw a lot of them way after the 60's.

That is got to be the dumbest bunch of people right down the line...of course those are pot plants.

Look like pot plants to me too. All they have to do is smell them to determine what they are.

Yep, it's pot. Funny that NYC Police might be duped. NY is so strict on that stuff, they probably hardly ever see it growing, especially in Brooklyn. Now CA or CO might be a different story. Cops probably grow it out there.
