It's unclear whether the Parks Department eradicated it (they won't reply to our requests for comment), or if thrifty marijuana hunters came and snatched it up (if so, they're bogarting), but the Union Square marijuana crop is (mostly) gone, surprising no one. Passing by the site of Monday's guerilla marijuana plant, we noticed that it was no longer visible from street level. Hidden behind the officially endorsed flowers and reeds, the proscribed plant is still in existence, but in a very diminished form (see picture). Oh well, we'll always have the Ditmas Park marijuana plant to cheer us up, right bros?
