MARIETTA, Ohio (WSAZ) – ‘Tis the season for giving and, as donations pour into thrift stores, a local Goodwill received a $1,500 donation, according to information from out sister station WTAP.
The only problem is it's illegal in stores and on the street.
On Friday, employees at a Goodwill store in Marietta opened a donated water jug and found about found four bags of marijuana that together equal about a pound. Police say it has a street value of around $1,500 but because this was an anonymous donation, there's really no way of telling who or where the pot came from
"If anybody would like to come in and claim this "cooler," which is probably an antique, we would love to have them come in and we'll be more than happy to try and get that cooler returned to them," Marietta Police Capt. Jeff Waite said.
Police say the marijuana appears to be more than a year old and probably was donated by accident.

Tis the season of giving and giving is better than receiving, time that is, lots of time, JAIL TIME! Merry Christmas! Enjoy
lol @ hope!
electric chair? rofl! It's leaves-ya can't get kids to rake leaves much less smoke leaves! I have a feeling if any kid got a hold of this-bout the only thing would happen to them is a bad case of the runs! I want to know what COP declared this 'valuable pot' to start with? If this really is worth $1,500.00 I have several garbage bags in my yard I raked up this fall I COULD BE RICH!!! But alas-only thing I ever got from smelling the smoke of burning leaves was a headache, sore eyes and a cough! And for OLD FART I agree! I have a cancer and were it not for a neighbor that talked me into trying a joint-there is NO WAY I'd ever made it through chemo! I even told my doc. what I was doing and she wishes it were legal too! Talk to the medical community,WSAZ! See if they will go "On the record" of what their feelings are regarding legalization of pot for medical reasons! Might been a joke leaving it-but it HAS opened up a long overdue conversation!
