marijuana

If you had $10,000 in marijuana, you’d think it’d be hard to forget.

Well, it apparently isn’t, according to a new forgetful stoner.

One stoner in Washington state decided it was a good idea to donate a cooler that contained 60 ounces of marijuana to Goodwill. This led to more problems than most can handle.

First of all, while possession of marijuana is legal in Washington, that’s 60 times the legal limit for individual possession in the state. This led Goodwill to call the police. I mean, you kind of have to at that point. (The police say the evidence will be burnt, as per department policy.)

How about those who had found the stash? They’re not quoted in the article, but a Goodwill spokesperson did say they’ve found even more unusual items mixed in with donations before:

“This is a reminder to check your purse, pockets, or cooler to make sure you’re donating the items you mean to,” said Katherine Boury, a spokesperson for Goodwill. She also noted that this isn’t the strangest thing the company’s employees have found while sorting donations, noting that, “In 2014, three human skulls were found,” including two for medical research, and one that was apparently taken from a Native American person more than a hundred years ago. “We worked with authorities to track down the origin of the Native American skull for proper burial,” Boury said.
