ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama man stumbled upon a 10-pound package of marijuana that washed up on the beach.
Multiple news outlets report that Ron Smith was taking a morning walk near the Cotton Bayou Beach access in Orange Beach on Tuesday when he noticed what he thought was a seat cushion floating in the water.
Upon closer inspection, he realized the package was actually a bag full of compressed marijuana.
Smith called police, who picked up the package. Authorities say the bag weighed 10 pounds and was worth about $8,000.
WECT-TV reports that another package of marijuana washed up along a beach in North Carolina on May 10. That package contained more than 12 pounds of marijuana. Atlantic Beach Police say Tropical Storm Ana likely washed the package ashore.

So, 10 lbs of crappy Mexican schwag weed is worth $8 grand??
I would have called the cops too. Friends don’t let friends smoke schwag.
Here in Colorado, we don’t need no stink’in beaches –
The police eventually found 25 bags of marijuana. After tagging all 20 bags they put the 17 bags into the CSI van which drove back to the station where all 12 bags were locked into evidence.
You kids today are such weed snobs.
