Punishing America's Innovators

Don't do this:

Most gas stations take cash and credit cards as sources of payment.

Marijuana is not on the list of currency.

A Frederick man was arrested after he offered marijuana in lieu of $3.50 in gas at the Classic Fuels Store on Old National Pike about 3 p.m. Sunday, according to the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office.

James T. Hart, 52, did not have money to pay for the gas so he offered the exchange, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies were called and suspected cocaine was found on him. Suspected marijuana and oxycodone pills were found on his motorcycle.

Hart was charged with possession of marijuana, cocaine and drug paraphernalia, authorities said. He was released after posting $2,600 bail and a Nov. 25 court date has been set.

What always baffles me is why the gas station attendant couldn't just refuse the pot and work out another arrangement instead of wasting the time of the law enforcement authoriTIES.

I of course would have graciously accepted the pot. It might have been some really good expensive shit, who knows?

The gas station attendant is a Rat B, weasel!
