Dude, where's my pot?

Dude, somebody must have been totally faded. I don’t know how else to explain why three tons, yeah THREE TONS of marijuana was abandoned along the freeway.

An abandoned rental truck was partially blocking the Milliken Avenue exit on the 10 freeway in Ontario. When San Bernardino County police arrived to investigate, they noticed that the whole area reeked of pot.

Police opened the truck to find three tons of marijuana just sitting there. That has to be the easiest drug bust in the history of the world—and one of the biggest.

According to the cops, the street value of the marijuana in that truck is about $20 million.

How did this happen? Did the driver get high and forget what he was doing?

I can’t imagine how anyone, especially a drug dealer, could leave THAT MUCH POT just lying on the side of the road.

Maybe the driver got so baked from inhaling all that pot, that he had to pull over and find the nearest Jack in the Box—never mind that he was in the middle of the freeway.

On the other hand, maybe the driver was stoned and got so paranoid that he bailed out mid off-ramp.

As far as suspects go, police are drawing a blank. Still, it’s not like the police are ever going to find the idiot who basically handed them this huge shipment of drugs. I’m sure the supplier has already had them...neutralized.

I’m sure soccer moms everywhere see this as a victory in the whole “war on drugs,” and teens are crying their bloodshot eyes out over this “travesty.”

But I’m still trying to figure out what happened.

Honestly, three tons of pot being abandoned is mind blowing. It’s the kind of thing that’s so far out there you can’t believe it actually happened. In the end—

—Dude, I forgot what I was saying. I’m going to go get, like, 30 tacos.
