Anyone misplace 9 lbs of weed, D.C. police asked on Twitter [View all]
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/anyone-misplace-9-lbs-of-weed-dc-police-asked-on-twitter/2018/01/08/35c692b8-f49e-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.html?utm_term=.454b3c2fd3e7
The box from FedEx contained eight vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana, and it left D.C. police with a question they posed on Twitter:
“Anyone misplace 9 lbs of weed over the weekend? Feel free to stop by #DCPolice headquarters . . . we’d be happy to chat.”
It turned out police were just making a point. They already had a suspect in custody — a 25-year-old named Jacob Greenbaum of Leesburg, Va., charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute. It’s legal to possess marijuana in the District, but only up to two ounces.
Greenbaum was arrested Saturday after police said he tried to retrieve the box that had been sent to the Blind Whino, a nonprofit community arts program in the 700 block of Delaware Avenue SW, housed in a Baptist church built in 1886.

The Blind Whino!
Why bother smuggling it? Just grow it legally.
