Clickbait headline makes us think it's cannabis. [View all]

So if you read this headline, you think the Neanderthal cops are up to their usual tricks, busting people for cannabis residue, a couple seeds in the carpet, etc. Actually, it has nothing to do with pot. This person was arrested for meth. I don't like this kind of reporting because it conflated cannabis and hard drugs, and promotes the old idea that cannabis is a gateway to meth and Crack.
