Danish city wants to import marijuana from Washington, Colorado
Category: Odd | Posted on Tue, March, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
The Copenhagen Post’s news editor, Justin Cremer, who explains that city officials in the capital of Denmark are anxious to legalize marijuana there and import supplies from Washington, Colorado or both.
 
“If we get the three-year trial, it will be important to work as quickly and effectively as possible, so we are looking abroad for where we could import cannabis,” Deputy Mayor for Social Affairs Mikkel Warming told the Post. “Yes, we are looking at Colorado and Washington, but we’re also looking at places like Great Britain, where there is state-controlled production of marijuana for medical purposes.
 
“The US states of Colorado and Washington recently legalized marijuana for recreational use, so it makes sense to learn from their experiences and to explore the possibility of importing from them.”
 
The city wants to import marijuana in order to do a runaround on the black market there.

Category: Odd | Posted on Fri, March, 8th 2013 by THCFinder
Officials at Vandenberg Air Force Base believe drug smugglers crashed a boat onto the beach on base property, leaving behind at least $1 million in marijuana.
According to a statement from Vandenberg officials, the marijuana was found near an overturned boat north of Wall Beach and was removed by Homeland Security investigators, who took over the investigation about 5:40 p.m.  
 
No suspects were found in the area after an extensive search.
 
Col. Nina Armagno, 30th Space Wing commander, told the Santa Maria Times that the marijuana was camouflaged.
 
“What it looks like to me are large bags, kind of like dark-colored trash bags, wrapped up and stacked, and actually they have been covered in what looks like an attempt to camouflage them with brush,” Armagno told the paper.

Mass. woman sues FedEx over marijuana delivery
Category: Odd | Posted on Fri, March, 1st 2013 by THCFinder
PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman has sued FedEx, claiming the company mistakenly sent her a package containing seven pounds of marijuana, then gave her address to the intended recipients, who later showed up at her door.
 
Maryangela Tobin of Plymouth said in the suit filed Feb. 12 that by disclosing her address, the company violated state privacy laws and put herself and her children in danger.
 
"I feel like the safety of my daughters and myself was invaded and it makes things complicated," she told WBZ-TV. "I walk into my house first every time, my kids don't."
 
Tobin said she thought the package was a birthday present for her daughter, because when she opened it, she found candles, pixie sticks and peppermint. There was also something she thought was potpourri, but it was marijuana.
 
Tobin said that about an hour later, a man knocked on her door looking for the package, while two men sat in a vehicle in her driveway, waiting. She said she didn't have it, and bolted and slammed the door. Tobin claims FedEx gave out her address, which led the men to her home.

'Marijuana cannon' used to fire drugs over US border seized in Mexico
Category: Odd | Posted on Wed, February, 27th 2013 by THCFinder
Police in the border city of Mexicali say they have recovered a powerful improvised cannon used to hurl packets of marijuana across a border fence into California.
 
Police told the Televisa network that the device was made up of a plastic pipe and a crude metal tank that used compressed air from the engine of an old car.
 
The apparatus fired cylinders packed with drugs that weighed as much as 13 kilos, police said. It was confiscated last week after US officers told Mexican police that they had been confiscating a large number of drug packages that appeared to have been fired over the border. Mexican police on the border have recovered a series of similar devices in recent years.

Woman claims police made marijuana sticker mistake
Category: Odd | Posted on Wed, February, 20th 2013 by THCFinder
SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVR) – A Texas couple claims their love for a certain college football team lead police to believe they were dealing drugs.
 
Bonnie Jonas Boggioni, 65, said police in Tennessee pulled her over because of a sticker on the back of her car.
 
“A car from another jurisdiction called ahead to let us know you were coming and that we better check it out,” she said the officer told her.
 
She says police mistook the Ohio State Buckeye sticker on the back of her car for a marijuana leaf.
 
“Then he said, ‘well you need to take that off.’ What in Tennessee? He said ‘no, forever.’” she said.
 
Boggioni said police eventually let her go without a ticket.
 
“We were still kind of laughing until I got here and then I thought now that’s – that’s not right,” she said.
