A guy wins a laptop on eBay and
what does he get for his dough
besides the banged-up machine?

He gets a bag of cannabis too!

Here is the link to the full story, including
a pic of the dope:

That's the weirdest pot I ever seen. Looks like a baggie of stale wheat flakes

I think the grass he was talking about and showing came out of the gunk that sticks to the underside of the lawnmower blade. Doesn't look like any weed I'd ever seen...of course that was a long time ago. Maybe it looks different now.

I once bought a book at a garage sale for $.25 and inside were two pressed mj leaves.

But then again....it's legal here in Alaska.

It looks like big dried buds to me. That could be several hundred dollars in weed.

I don't think it's a very wise idea to place a photo of weed on the internet with John Ashcroft on the loose.

Here's another one of my I worked with a guy stories:
He was a party animal in the 1970's and got his own apartment and had a party. The police raided the party because of all the huge pot clouds coming out of the apartment and during their search found a Polaroid shot of some pot plants growing in a typical suburban backyard. The police noticed something distinctive about the generic photo and were able to conclude that it was by the local airport that abuttted a golf course by the airport. With the color of the house as a major clue the police found the house in the photo with the weed still growing in the backyard and the very naive parents watering their son's 'tomato plants' for him. They really should have educated the parents about weed back in those days as that was a common occurance.

I thought they looked like big buds, too.

Chances are, said buds were on the table where the computer was being packed and OOPS! Imagine the frantic search that must have gone on

They look like Kona buds from Hawaii. I use to have a subscription to High Times Magazine in the '70's and they made the centerfold every once in a while.

You're lucky that you mailed it...with John Asscroft on the loose, they would probably confiscate not only the weed, but the digital camera used to take that picture. And it looks like there was enough weed for a Felonius Monk rap. It must have smelled very odoriferous.

I would call my lawyer and have him contact the police and clear it. They would come, pick it up, and go after the guy who sent it to me... Actually, now that I think about it, my lawyer would probably want the pot for himself. SIGH.
