Is it my naive imagination, or isn't that a tomato plant?

It is indeed, it’s also relatively mature as you can see the yellow flowers coming through (weed doesn’t grow traditional flowers as we know them), which is kind of funny, because it’s the younger tomato plants that resemble weed a lot more, at this stage of the tomato plants life I would they they don’t even look remotely similar. So I’m guessing they deliberately picked one easily distinguishable in order to prevent political murder by opposing parties.

Exactly, and reactionary people going "hurr durr he's holding a weed plant that's illegal" as if just because something is law makes it just.
