Marijuana Heist

"Cannabis Amnesty Boxes have been placed at Chicago's airports so travelers have the opportunity to ensure compliance with federal law, as well as the local laws at their destination. Tampering with them, or attempting to remove anything placed inside, is a crime, and detectives are investigating this matter," said Anthony Guglielmi, the chief communications officer with the Chicago Police. "In the meantime, new, permanent theft prevention boxes are expected to replace the temporary ones in the coming weeks, making them more secure and preventing anyone from further accessing materials dropped inside."

But not before this happened:

Police in Chicago say an incoming traveler at Midway Airport managed to steal marijuana from one of the facility’s “Cannabis Amnesty Boxes” on Wednesday (January 22).

First comment from me:  there are cameras and security all over the airport!  this person has guts!  quite ballsy!!

Second comment from me:  Illinois has known that marijuana was going to become legal on 1/1/2020 for many, many months now.  Why in the world were the permanent boxes not ready to roll-out on that date?  Typical governmental delay.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
