(Source) The public may be used to seeing ice cream carts or beer carts at events on hot summer days, but not carts selling illicit substances. Victoria Police say they arrested a man pedalling a marijuana cart that was decorated with the name “420 Delivery” in large type on the sides. The number 420 is a widely used code term for marijuana use. Officers noticed the man pedalling through the city’s downtown core last week. Police say the 22-year-old man in charge of the vending cart was found in possession of 150 grams of marijuana. The man was released on a promise to appear in court next month. Police are recommending charges of one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

If you read the headline and then look at that picture you may think that I’m being sarcastic about my disbelief that this man go busted, but I’m not really. Sure, sarcasm does play a bit of a factor, but part of me is actually surprised. I mean who the fuck thinks a guy driving around town with “I’m a drug dealer” plastered on his cart is actually a drug dealer? I’d see that and think, “That’s a weird cart but there’s no fucking way he’s actually selling drugs. He’s probably just trying to be cool.” I’ll admit that tricking the police is more difficult than tricking me, but I’ll be this worked for a while. He was probably cruising around town with this bad boy for weeks before anyone thought to stop him and check if he was actually selling Mary Jane (street name for marijuana, only real weedheads know that). Hide in plain sight, it’s not the worst idea.

PS – Love the “No Minors” sticker. Gotta appreciate a drug dealer with a moral compass.
