Drug Bust By Marion, Illinois Police Leads To Astounding Weight In Weed

It seems like the Marion Police Department in Illinois had a wild time recently, as they confiscated a massive amount of weed that weighed roughly the weight of a small child, a large dog, or a very determined kangaroo.

I can just picture the officers carrying this massive load of weed back to the station, struggling to keep their balance as they try not to spill a single bud. It's like a scene straight out of a stoner comedy movie.

Anyone who might have witnessed this bust likely had a number of questions, including why police officers were carrying what looks like a clear garbage bag full of lawn clippings or mulch.

It's funny to imagine a bunch of cops lugging around a mountain of weed, it's important to remember that they were just doing their jobs.

City of Marion IL Police Department Seizes 82 Pounds of Marijuana

Now, when you think of things that weigh 82 pounds, what comes to mind? Maybe a bag of cement, a large suitcase, or a really hefty bowling ball. But 82 pounds of marijuana? That's a whole new level of heavy.

The haul consisted of not only 82 pounds of marijuana flower but also 30 bottles of tincture and a plethora of pre-rolled joints, according to reports. Now, I'm no expert, but that sounds like a pretty good time to me.
