I've Got the Munchies - Can I Pay With Pot, Bro?

[Smokin Moose]

A NEW Zealand man trying to buy M&Ms and potato chips at a service station had a novel idea when he found he had no money - could he pay with marijuana instead? Unfortunately he didn't get a chance to find out whether the attendant would accept his offer, as the person behind him in the queue was a police officer, the Dominion Post newspaper reported.

The man's attempt to buy two packets of M&Ms and a packet of potato chips to satisfy his "munchies" was caught short when he was arrested.

He must have been hungry, as he failed to notice the police patrol car sitting on the station forecourt being filled with petrol, the paper reported.

The 28-year old mechanic from the small North Island town of Carterton pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis in Masterton District Court and was remanded for sentencing.

Wouldnt that be awesome, if you could use pot as currency? I can see a great opportunity to save money..... i used to know people who would pay their labourers in pot.... especially those in the middle of a grow op!

Some co-op producers still do, from what I read.
