Denmark is known for its liberal policies regarding marijuana use, but there are some limits to what the police will allow.
For instance, if you want to hop in a taxi carrying a bag holding 1,000 marijuana cigarettes, read the name on the door carefully.
If you realize after closing the door that the sign on the door doesn’t say “taxi,” but rather, “police,” well, too late for you.
It sounds like a scene from a comedy film, but for the Danish dealer who actually did it, the mistake could cost him as much as an eight-year sentence.
Cue the jokes about “sampling his own product.”
“Last night a cannabis dealer from Christiania who wanted to get home quickly got into a taxi. He received a big surprise when he realized it was actually a police car he was sitting in,” said the tweet.
“The police officers were happy to see him since he was carrying around 1,000 joints,” the tweet continued.
Nobody knows why the dealer, who needed a lift back to Copenhagen’s Christiana district, where drug sales used to be tolerated, couldn’t tell what kind of car he was in.
What is known, is that not only his eyesight but also his timing were very bad.
