BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Authorities eradicated more than 219 (m) million marijuana plants in Indiana last year. But only a tiny fraction of those were intentionally grown.

Police say all but about 31-thousand of the plants were growing wild. Sometimes called ditch weed, the wild marijuana plant has less than one-half percent of T-H-C, which is the chemical that causes a smoker to get high.

But State Police Corporal Mike Crabtree says even small amounts of T-H-C can get people high.

So far, Indiana police have harvested more than 19 (m) million wild marijuana plants and confiscated almost 13-thousand cultivated marijuana plants this year. That's more than 200 percent higher than at this time last year.
