Pot is hot, the sequel

They are busting at the border. Hundreds of pounds of pot seized! Millions of dollars worth! Lots and lots of very disappointed people!

The other day we told you that US Customs agents made a 350-pound pot bust at the Peace Bridge. It turns out Canadian Customs agents at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge are beaming about a bust of their own.

The Canadian border patrol says agents found about 150 pounds of pot….worth nearly 1.4 million dollars…hidden in duffel bags in the cab of a truck. Duffel bags! How original….I wonder if he had a Cheech and Chong sticker on the bags.

I know what you’re thinking….150 pounds is a lot of weed, but it’s a lot smaller than the Peace Bridge stash. True….but it’s still the largest pot bust EVER for Canadian agents at one of our local bridges. Way to go, dudes….you might get employee of the month for this one.

The driver faces a bunch of charges, including money laundering. (Did I mention agents also found $23,000 in cash?) So now there are a lot of bummed-out potheads in Canada. At least they still have good beer.
