This is funny: Marijuana crops up on city [Salt Lake City] property.

Marijuana crops up on city property, but gardeners kill it before it grows

Salt Lake City is growing marijuana.
Not officially, of course. But the "wacky tabacky" has been spotted sprouting this summer in a city planter on Main Street and on the grounds of City Hall.
City gardeners are taking it in stride.
Maryanne Siegendorf, the city's top gardener, says when crews find the fledgling plants, they pluck them and place them in bags of, um, weeds.

.....

So who's behind the pot plot? Perhaps a constituent taking to heart Mayor Rocky Anderson's one-time suggestion that marijuana be decriminalized?
Nah. Siegendorf suspects it's more of a prank than a real effort by pot heads to cultivate cannabis on city property. City crews weed flower beds every couple of weeks, which doesn't provide enough time to grow smokable dope.
"I don't know if they just, you know, are walking by and say, 'Hey, let's toss our seeds down there,' " Siegendorf says, adding that the growers would have to be "desperate" to smoke the starts.

.....

Last month, while weeding Main Street planters to prepare them for new flowers, Siegendorf noticed a 4-inch-high plant in the city pot in front of KUTV Channel 2's studios.
