Home De-Pot

Home Depot

While most people would call their dealer for a sack, there’s been a report of several Home Depot customers in the Massachusettes area discovering bricks of weed in their boxed merchandise. In one instance, a contractor in Tewksbury found two 50-pound bricks of marijuana wrapped in plastic, stuffed inside a bathroom vanity. Score. It’s estimated value was at $145k.

The DEA and Tewksbury police followed up by conducting a full search and investigation of about 12 Home Depots state-wide. They found that more bathroom vanities were compromised and contained illegal substances. The police had this to say:

I’m sure the packages were being shipped to the distribution center and someone was supposed to intercept them. So that person [who was supposed to intercept the packages] either wasn’t on duty that day or the packages were marked wrong.

In a written statement, the Home Depot said, “The company is cooperating with authorities as they investigate this matter, and we will support law enforcement in any way possible to help bring those responsible to justice.”

I’m not sure about you, but I’m in my car as we speak. Destination? Home De-Pot.

    As any home grower knows, not only do they have bricks of mex packed in toilets and showers, they also have everything you need to grow your own :)

    Exactly. Home Depot, it might not be the most exciting store in the world to go to, but it sure is useful. ;)
