An elderly California couple was arrested in Nebraska after police pulled them over and found 60 pounds of high-grade marijuana in their truck.

Patrick Jiron, 80, and his wife, Barbara, 83, told deputies they were on their way to Vermont with the marijuana and intended to give it away as Christmas gifts.


The marijuana has an estimated street value of $336,000.

They could actually get away with the Steve Martin defense:

“Your honor, I didn’t know possession of marijuana with intent to distribute was against the law.”

Holy frick, they are 80 and 83.

Just let them be. Once you get old enough you should be free from an oppressive state with stupid laws.

frick the cops that harass these old folks.

I agree with this.

But especially old people.

If ever there were a victimless crime, this is one of them.

So dealers could exploit the elderly to move their weight, which is probably the real reason they had the weed in the first place

They have glaucoma.

No seriously, they need all $336,000 worth.

We will look back on marijuana prohibition one day like we do the alcohol prohibition of the 20s-30s

While traffic marijuana? I don’t know if you remember, but no grandparent has ever given out 330K presents, or really anything more than a sweater from JC Penny

You know what the point is of getting old? Putting up with the decades of bullshite. The creaking joints, the brittle bones, the unsure bowels.

You endure all that shite to get a little leeway. To get some benefit of the doubt. I don’t truck with people that frick with the elderly. If they want to sling some green then have at it. Better than some janky little meth dealers, or the heroin slingers or the crackheads.


I don’t give 2 shits if pee-pop and meemaw want to run a damn ton of KB through some pissant teetotaler dump. And neither should they. It wasn’t like they were selling pot brownies outside the Kindergarten of Bumblescum, Nebraska.

Just doing a little traveling to bring one AMERICAN product across this great country.

Now if they were hauling some Mexican ditch weed it would be a different story.
