OVER THE RHINE - A tractor trailer carrying 763 pounds of marijuana was seized by U.S. Drug Enforcement Officials last Wednesday in Over-the-Rhine.

Patrick Thomas and Ladd Dubose were sitting on the dock of a warehouse eating Chick-O-Sticks and dry Captain Crunch while laughing hysterically at a dirty sock in the street. Police officers and DEA agents happened to be in that area and noticed the two men in a hysterical state. They decided to investigate further, thus finding the 18-wheeler full of ganja.

The marijuana was shrink-wrapped into 40 pound bales and had a street value of $1000 a pound.  It is speculated that the drugs came from Mexico and an investigation is pending.

Patrick Thomas and Ladd Dubose were arrested on the scene and they are awaiting arraignment.

The arrest has sparked outrage from college students, hippies, yuppies, the elderly with cataract disease, council members, fireman, police officers, teachers, African Americans, Indian Americans, movie stars, professional athletes, politicians, Woody Harrelson, Mexican Americans, Chinese Americans, Italian Americans, Bill Clinton, hookers, interns, government employees, fast food workers and auto mechanics.

Local marijuana enthusiast Stephanie Dunlapster says that the pot will just be wasting away in an evidence barn and suggests that it be put to good use.

"We could have a giant smokefest", said Dunlapster.  "This would raise money for Cincinnati and at the same time..."

Dunlapster passed out at this point of the interview.
