Broh! I Had Nothing To Do With The 400 Pounds Of Reefer (Cough, Cough)

I’m sure that’s what the surfer told the sheriff after finding all that weed on the beach at 4 in the morning.  He must have been taking a romantic walk by himself awaiting the sun to rise.  Sheriff’s deputies confiscated the 400 pounds of marijuana last Wednesday near a Del Mar beach after the surfer found several bags of the drug and then encountered two men carrying another.

“The surfer told deputies he found six burlap sacks about 4 a.m on the east side of the railroad tracks as he was walking to the beach along a trail at the end of 11th Street.  As he continued to walk toward the water, he came across two men lugging a seventh sack and he asked what they were doing”, Sgt. Jack Reynolds said.

The men said something in Spanish, dropped what they were carrying and ran. The surfer called deputies, who later found an eighth sack closer to the water, Reynolds said. The sacks were filled with 80 plastic-wrapped bundles of marijuana, Reynolds said.

Investigators believe someone used a boat to drop off the drugs. It is common for smugglers to drop off narcotics at a prearranged point and have someone waiting to pick it up, Reynolds said.

In June 2007, about 70 pounds of marijuana were found on the beach in roughly the same location.  Reynolds said he could not estimate the current street value of the Mexican-grade marijuana, but last year at this time it was selling for about $300 to $400 per pound.
The surfer was not able to give deputies a detailed description of the men because it was dark and foggy at the time.

If you’re a complete stoner pothead with little ambition unless it comes to weed, you better just camp out on this beach and look out for suspicious activity.  Once you see someone doing something suspect in the wee hours of the morning, that’s when you pull out your bullhorn and demand the perpetuators to freeze.  When they run, you’ll be in business.  Or you can just go ahead and smoke your life away.  Either way, you’ll be in heaven.
