Was just going to say this as well. If you don't know what hops smell like, and you do know what pot smells like, that's a really easy assumption to make. I'd expect an officer to know the difference in appearance, but strictly in the smell department I wouldn't be surprised if even an officer got confused.

So far as the video is concerned,that was the whole point. The goof. The gag. The punch line. If they think pellets are hops,then that tells me they've been takin Cheech-n-Chong movies to much to heart...

I mean you have to use common sense. I had to bring 5# of hops into work for group buy distribution -- when you care carrying around 'green stuff' in a clear bag -- you know what 99% of people are going to assume.

Also +1 on the Samuel Adams video. I've always wanted to include a little baggie of hops with my SMaSH brews so people drinking it can take a whiff of the strait hop so they can identify with the hop better.

Sam Adams recently did an experiment taking whole leaf hops to bars. Check out some of the reactions:

HA! That was definitely worth watching.

You should have demanded that a sample be sent out for testing "and would you ask for an alpha acid test while you're at it, officer?"

Getting fired for having a bag of legal "green stuff" in your car would have been the best thing that could have happened to you.

+1 for early independantly wealthy retirement!!!

I thought there were only farms in Lincoln. You work at some secret underground lab or something?

Ha! I carbonate my beers under my desk at work because my house is too cold.

I used to say if I closed my eyes and smelled DFH 60 min, I would've though someone fired one up next to me...

On the subject of how could someone mistake hop pellets for pot and that they look more like rabbit pellets..well I don't know about today but back in my days they had this stuff called hashish...look it up, looks very much like pellet hops.

That video makes me want to send a pound of Cascade to my homie's mom's house... lol

Yup. Local brewpub makes an IPA that smells 100% exactly like ganja. Easy mistake for the uninitiated to either.
