Down On High Street

Now we know why they call it High Street. Police in Millville, New Jersey have confirmed the odd-looking plants they pulled from a flower basket in September in Millville's business district were indeed marijuana plants.

The plants were discovered and reported by a passer-by. Police responded to the scene with a ladder and confiscated the 3-foot-tall plants, which were growing in a basket hanging from a lamppost.

Representatives of the city's parks and recreation department, which tends to the baskets, say they have no idea how the pot plants got there.
