Pretty bold statement I take it you are a DEA agent?... Any LEO knows that if a plant is standing it must should be cut down (regardless of State, local, or federal)... We are mandated if we see it to cut it down. Eliminates the possibility of it being used for any purpose; 99.9% of the time it is your standard run of the mill ditchweed, but regardless drug interdiction is a DEA job, I believe any who care about their job would cut it down.
