US man sent $24,000 of marijuana in drug mix-up

IT'S usually great receiving a parcel in the post - except when it's an unwanted gift like this.

A US man was shocked to discover $24,000 worth of marijuana in a postal pack delivered to his home in Sacramento, California, the Huffington Post reports.

George Burton said the FedEx box had his name and address listed as the return address.

"We start opening it up and it's filled with that packing styrofoam, the spray-in stuff that's hard to get through," Mr Burton reportedly told News 10. "We break into it, I look, and say 'This isn't what I think it is?'"

He immediately handed the parcel over to the police, who confirmed the package contained 11 kilos of marijuana.

Worried the owners of the drug may come searching for their lost stash, Mr Burton and his fiancee decided to temporarily move out of their home and left a note on the front door that read: "Kinkos/FedEx box given to Sac Police."

"I'm really concerned someone is going to come looking for this," Mr Burton said. "People have gotten hurt for a lot less than $24,000 worth of marijuana," he said, according to firstcoastnews.com.

While Sacramento Police said his name and address were probably chosen at random, Mr Burton had the following message for the real owners: "Don't use my house anymore. Go find somewhere else to drop off your marijuana."

^ I know it! With 11 kg of cannabis, I would be set for the rest of my life.
 
Had to be brick weed or something, to fit over 20 pounds in a single package that could be delivered, five pounds of fluffy dank would fill up a big box and I can't see compressing good weed like that, it would be a sacrilege...
 
I think i'd probably hand it in to the cops myself, the paranoia of randomly getting 11 Kilos of weed would just be too much for me.
 
^haha true, i'd be like what the fuck, i'm guessing there was no return address? who came up with this plan anyway? send something to some guys house and pick it up before he does? maybe it works out more often that not. Probably his neighbor or someone close by was supposed to get it, doubt you'll be murdered for it, should have just left it at the door step for a few days until it was gone.

Yeah, but imagine if some local kids nicked it and eventually got caught and it came back on the people who lived there. I guess they did the right thing. Except that his name has been published, after turning it into the cops they might still get hunted, even after moving from the house 'temporarily'.
 
11 kg's = 388.01358 ounces. haha. Should have burried it and said to anyone and everyone it never got delivered here.

yeh I tend to agree, maybe I would have taken out a kilo then handed it over...

so I had something to smoke while i was laying low :)
 
why would you need to get weed sent via mail to anywhere in Northern Cali?

didnt think it was that much of a hassle to come across...
 
I would be stoned as shit for years! What a punk, to turn over all that weed to the cops. People could have enjoyed that!

How is it that you're Australian and still talk about ounces? Isn't your culture a metric culture?

Not criticizing, just curious.
 
It's strange but here in Ausie land it goes like this generally small quantities ie. street deal is usually 1.0 - 1.3grams anything over is qtr oz half oz & pounds strage but thats how its done

Maybe it was just bobby brown. Or maybe he's just a douche. Either way, kinda disappointed a cali guy would do this. I would expect it from a southern Baptist homophobic closet homosexual hypocrite minister but not a typical cali person. Did he not know someone who would enjoy 25 lbs of weed in cali, even if it was shit?

It makes sense to me I mean 28.5 grams = 1 oz although most dealers just give you 28.0 or 28.1 they think they're being nice! lol.

IDK if Aussies say decagram or hectogram. IDK it just sounds awkward if you ask me. Perhaps he's just converting it because it happened in the US.
 
In terms of cannabis it's always in grams, ounces and pounds here. Just the way it's done.

As said above, it's generally 7 grams a 1/4 (of an ounce), 14 is a half and 28 is a full. 16 ounces in a pound etc etc. Street deals are usually 1 gram and up.
 
haha i don't think anyone deals in decagrams or hexagrams lol. In Canada it's the same, 7 grams 1/4 ounce, 14 half, 28 full, 448 grams for a pound, 112 grams for a quater lb and 224 grams for a half pound.

though one ounce is 28.3495 grams, we're really getting screwed by dealers with the god damn metric/imperial mix up. End up losing 5 grams in total when buying a lb. Never really thought about that before, guess i could get whoever is weighing stuff to weigh it in actual ounces instead. I blame the US for this.
 
Here is my new recipe for ganja brownies:

1) Boil 11 kg weed in 1.42 shitloads of milk (or soy milk) for 162 hours.
2) Dispose of the fibrous remains of the weed. Boil the milk down until there is only one sip left.
3) Screw the brownies; drink the milk.
4) Trip like you had a thumbprint of LSD. =D
5) Possibly become the first Cannabis death ever recorded. 8o
6) Enter the Guiness Book for most THC (and CBDs) consumed at once.

Disclaimer: This is not meant to be serious (apart from 4-6). Please do not follow this recipe, believing that a mod at Bluelight must be teaching people techniques for harm reduction.

End up losing 5 grams in total when buying a lb.

Damn! If that's right, then who has all the 5 grams?
We want the 5 grams!
