Why can't I ever "find" 480 pounds of cheeba? Oh yeah, I'm not a jackboot, statist thug. Maybe I'm in the wrong business :)
We figured.
I'd dispose of it for them. Free of charge. Burn it up I would. Set it on fire. Of course I'd have to dry it out and grind it up and wrap it up in little strips of paper first....

Thank goodness. It's time to get all those damned dirty hippies and dangerous marijuana addicts off the streets.
