School Gets Mysterious Marijuana Package
By Associated Press
Fri May 18, 1:04 PM

KENT, N.Y. - A school principal received a surprise delivery of 12 pounds of marijuana from a mysterious sender whose address was traced to a vacant lot in California, police said.

The package was addressed to Joan "Pinserton," a misspelling of the principal's name, Pinkerton. It was delivered Thursday to the Kent Primary School by Federal Express. Pinkerton was immediately suspicious because of a strong odor from the box.

The principal had the box moved to the rear of the school property and an X-ray taken by the bomb squad determined the package wasn't a threat, police Lt. Alex DiVernieri said. Police opened it and found the marijuana, he said.

The return label contained a woman's name and a Gardena, Calif., address but police there said the address turned out to be a vacant lot, and the woman did not exist.

That's a lot of weed for just a prank or even an attempt to get the principal fired. Strange...

Oops.

12 pounds is a lot though, it was almost certainly a goofup. That's worth over $50,000 on the street.

No, that's a DAMN lot of weed. Say, $30K or more worth. (edit: here. other places Eli's figure is much closer...we just have so much weed here, haha.)

That's just weird!

So apparently it's safe to use FedEx the next time I need to overnight 12 pounds of bud to a friend.

Or maybe trying to kiss up to the principal to avoid expulsion, or make the top 5% of the class. ;)

1. Maybe the principal bought it (to distribute) but then got caught and didn't want anyone to know it was him who bought it.

2. What will the police do with it? Seems a shame to destroy something that's worth so much.

samething around here... the beasters go for $2800 a pound, and the better stuff goes for over $4000.. less if you buy 10 packs (10 lbs).. then you could score it for about $20,000. But the beasters suck anyway, not worth my time. The Mexican scwhaggg goes for under $800 per pound but that is basically garbage, I'd never touch it. ;)
