What would you do if you opened your front door and found two and a half tons of marijuna sitting there?
This is an OUTRAGE!! That family clearly should have been arrested for drug possession.

well, it would be a 4 step process.
1) cry. cry a lot. we're talking "i've finally made it" tears to the point of dehydration.
2) jump off my roof into it. i always wanted to jump into a big pile of it.
3) have pillow fights with it. i can't stress how fun it is to wack your friends with a pound of green.
4) never ever be not high again.

Don't read in so much. I understand why they love it (as did I, in college, back before I lost all interest). That wasn't my question. I was expressing surprise at the sheer numbers posting on the smoke-up side. If I had to guess, I'd say that MeFi skews young (well, younger than me).

Oconee County Sheriff's investigators said that once the family realized what it was, they called deputies right away.
Hmmm. Wonder what it took for them to realize what it was. I mean, you need to be REALLY sure about these sorts of things. Perhaps there were 64 bundles to begin with?
If this ended up on my doorstep all of my neighbors would have found it and "distributed it" before I got out of bed.

Skinjob's got the right way of looking at this. Somebody (most likely it will be more than one) is going to lose their life over this one, and probably not in a fast and humane way.
This is one serious mistake on someone's part. If it came to your doorstep, would you really be interested in keeping it, knowing the type of folks that are probably behind its shipment? Even after turning it in, I'd be scared to death of some sort of retaliation. I don't envy that family one bit.

There was a pro baseball player who had a friend ship him pot from Chicago to NJ by UPS. When the package was damaged during shipment, UPS saw the contents and called the cops. They had UPS mark the package "damaged" and deliver it. They waited an hour, then entered the house with a search warrant. Baseball career was put on hold after that. I would mark it "return to sender".

But, yeah, reality is that about, oh, 20 minutes after I saw that stash on the front porch, a silent armed hitsquad from some underworld drug ring would show up to make sure I didn't tell a soul.

Dude. Dude, I bet somebody's already been killed over this man. That's a lot, I mean a lot, of chronic. I bet that dude's dead.
What?
Oh sorry. Someone already said that.

I find it reassuring that I have absolutely no idea.

I would hide the stuff, I mean hide it well. No one would know where. Then, I would dress up all in green and deliver the stuff door to door for any sick person who needed it.
Secondly, I think I would get a shit load of vaporizers and start pumping the weed into the chambers of the supreme court. Get them to understand just *what* it is.

Sudama, I think Dreama is admitting that he's a big pothead, and he's upset that this happened to someone else, and not him. Which is sad, I suppose.

Why are so many people so desperate to forcibly get their neighbors high? If I were a Supreme Court Justice and you fogged my chamber and senses for a microsecond, you would not be happy with my vote.

I actually thought Dreama was a man. My whole sense of reality has changed. Wow. I just automatically assume that all conservatives are fat, sweaty guys. Ha ha. Ha. Just kidding. Yeah...
So I guess I'm sexist, assuming people are men when their handle's are unisex. I actually feel kinda bad. I'm going to go in the asshole corner for a while.
But the whole pothead thing still stands.

She said the thread makes her sad, so that's not it.

I did, because I don't know. And still don't.
Sidenote: As a child my parents had a dog that had been around since before I was born. My parents, who indulged in a little ganga before I was born, had a kilo of pot mailed to them. The dog, whilst unattended, proceeded to consume most of the package. The dog's name was Kilo. It wasn't until I turned 18 and my mom confessed that I knew why.

I didn't like hemp back when I tried it long ago. I don't like it now. If I discovered such a shipment, I'd call the police and tell them to get it off my porch before the local street gangs find out what it is cuz I don't want another turf war on my front lawn. Now if the drug money for 2.5 tons found its way on my doorstep in small, unmarked bills, then I'd have a dilemma on my hands...

Zach - that's not what I meant, but thanks.
Doug - I already told you that I was a woman in some other thread. Get it through your head. Look at my frickin' profile. Duh. Besides, there is no where on the planet where Dreama is an acceptable man's name.
This thread makes me sad because of all of the posts that failed to recognise that if that amount of anything turned up on your doorstep, someone was paying hell for the mistake. Only accountingboy brought a glimmer of hope to break through my sadness. I was thinking about the poor delivery morons who would probably be dead of lead poisoning within an hour of the errant dropoff.

I didn't know "Dreama" was even a real name. I thought you just made up something.

Calm down. It's awfully presumptive of you to assume that Doug's world revolves around keeping tabs on your personal details, isn't it?

Dreama: oh, I imagine that was the first thing that crossed a lot of minds, actually. Mine included. Quite obviously, someone's ass is in a colossal sling over this mistake.
A shame it's not legal for the citizens of Oconee County, South Carolina, or where-ever this stuff was *supposed* to go, to grow pot for personal use in their own back yards. Then perhaps there'd be no need to sneak in bales of the stuff from overseas and create a massive international marketplace where business protections such as inventory insurance or legal recourse can be replaced only by violence and death.
But that would be me dreaming futile dreams, so instead I'm going to go right on musing over what sort of adhesive would be best employed in the rolling of a ten-foot spleef.

FPN: I have no idea what the last turf war was about. I don't open my front door and ask questions when I hear gun shots. I just ignore it and hope it's a lot of cars backfiring at the same time.
