POT PLANTS FOUND OUTSIDE COMMONS

LONDON - Police made a surprising discovery outside the seat of
government on Thursday - marijuana plants have sprouted at the House
of Commons.

Two months after environmental activists dug up Parliament Square in a
guerrilla gardening protest, the small park near the Commons has
sprouted with carrots, onions, marigolds - and that weedy plant, marijuana.

During the May Day protest, 600 people descended upon Parliament
Square, and the protesters apparently cultivated a little cannabis
along with the vegetables.

Royal Parks Police said the plants had been identified by
horticulturists on Thursday as cannabis and that police would clear
them away with other plants and flowers.
