BALTIMORE - FedEx prides itself on reliability. But a mistaken delivery tipped off police to a 200-pound shipment of marijuana that someone tried to send from Pembroke Pines, Florida to Baltimore via the shipping company.

Police tell The (Baltimore) Sun they learned about the shipment when it was delivered Tuesday to the wrong resident.

Wow, I didn't think they would ship drugs via FedEx, I thought after 9/11 the shipping companies had a machine in which they sniffed out packages, I guess I was wrong.

Figures... The only wrong mail I get is for gamer magazines

I wonder how often people actually use couriers like FedEx to distribute illicit substances. This is quite an eye opener that such a large shipment could go unchecked, then how many smaller packages are constantly making it through the system?

If anyone wants to test this, my address is...

It wasn't international.I don't think they drug sniff all interstate shipments.200 pounds is a fair amount though.Id say this gets through because of the terrorist thing because they test and scan more for other things now than drugs.They use the resources more on chemical biological bombs etc than drugs.

I'm more concerned about the address mix-up than I am about the drugs.

I believe Mitch Hedberg said it best, I like the Fed-ex guy, cause he's a drug dealer and he doesn't even know it.....and he's always on time.

Disclaimer- I do not an any way condone drug use or the Illeagl act of shipping it via postal service. Just making a comical observation.
