Court weeding out a cannabis mystery


MAGISTRATES plan to weed out the reason why what appears to be a fake cannabis plant has been on display at their Burton courthouse.

The plant is so life-like that defendants attending the court have had to take a second look and even smell its leaves to check it is not real, according to staff.
