Government (well, in reality, those who claim to be part of government) possesses nothing it did not steal or buy with stolen/counterfeited money. "Asset forfeiture" is just another twisted example.
I can't make up a rule- say, I declare you can't have any dogs that are a color other than black- and then claim that by violating my "rule" you forfeit your property rights and I get to take your "illegal" dogs and other property.
And it is no more "right" when goons calling themselves "government" do the same thing simply because you have bits of a plant or a gun or anything else that they decided you shouldn't have.
