Helicopter ID of marijuana how?



The news this morning is that the county has found 300 marijuana plants
over the summer by helicopter.

Is there something about marijuana that makes it easy to identify from
the air, or could you do this with any plant of the same size?

Plant ID from the air seems in my experience pretty unlikely, but maybe
I'm not looking for the right clues.
