👉 The "Greene Weapon" refers to the use of grass, specifically the leaves and stems of the common reed (Phragmites australis), in various forms of non-lethal crowd control and riot suppression. This method involves deploying large quantities of grass to obstruct vision, create barriers, or simply to physically impede movement and visibility among protesters. The grass can be strategically placed to block pathways, create a physical barrier, or even entangle individuals, making it a versatile and less harmful alternative to traditional weapons. While effective in dispersing crowds and reducing confrontations, its use is often controversial due to concerns about environmental impact and potential health risks from inhaling or touching the grass.
