MILKWEED DECLARED A NOXIOUS WEED BY OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS
If you are skeptical about the idea that a city would declare milkweed a weed and a noxious weed at that then please consult the Overland Park Municipal Code 7.20.120I:
"Weeds" shall mean to include, but not be limited to, barnyard grass (echinochloa crusgalli); beggar tick, hemp (cannabis sativa); milkweed (asclepias syriacs); ... ragweed, sunflower, common (helianthus annuus); swamp smartweed, tanweed, devil's shoestring
(polygonum coccineum); tall thistle (cirsium altissimum); ... etc.
(History: Ord. NU-1376 '1, 86)
Does milkweed or asclepias syriacs deserve to be sandwiched between an illegal drug and the bane of all who have allergies, ragweed? I think NOT!
Long live milkweed! Long live the milk of the monarch butterfly!
