The economic downturn has forced many people to save money on food in unconventional ways, from reinventing leftovers to organizing food swaps. However, one man may have crossed the line when it comes to creativity.
Shawn Pannullo was arrested in Vero Beach, FL, for trying to pay for his McDonald's meal with pot. The incident occurred just after midnight, at which time a McDonald's cashier called 911. Pannullo, 27, was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail. A report didn't disclose whether he ultimately paid for the meal using something other than marijuana.
While possession of cannabis is obviously a crime, I must admit I find this story entertaining. The report also failed to list what Pannullo ordered at McDonald's. I'm guessing . . . three of everything?

dude should of came to oregon...maybe would got away with it...
1HUH? Pot is more expensive than a burger. He should have tried to sell his stash first! LOL. He must have been very hungry.
2i bet if he hadnt been smoking pot first, he wouldnt have gotten the munchies and then tried to pay with the rest of his stash
=D
and yes, pot does cost more than a burger, eff that...and it lasts longer haha
3I wonder if his bill was $4.20 ?
4freakshow=i agree. he could have sold that for way more than a burgers worth. (I'm from a crummy town.)
5LOL Busybeegal! I tried this one at Gary Danko. Totally didn't work.
6"THREE OF EVERYTHING"!!!
7so did they give him whatever food he wanted? and then called because i dont see this dude sticking around waiting for the cops to show.
8hmm...economic crisis? no money?.....so let's buy pot instead? Somebody needs to get their priorities in order. If you don't have money for munchies dont buy pot (or buy less pot).
(oh how do you get all those funny little smiley faces??)
9That's special.
10That is so funny...
11Sounds like the cashier should watch their back!
12I just watched the "My Name is Earl" episode where they have the duffle bag of pot and Joy tries to use it to pay at the liquor store!
13I meant to add that this made me laugh, and I sent this to my husband, but then a student came up and i got distracted.
14I just don't get it - pot is worth more than McDonald's any day!
15Maybe he should have tried White Castle.
16...the cashier called 911? Honey. It's not that bad. And yes, he should have tried White Castle. How lame.
17Someone had the munchies, bad......
18Ha, I think I would have given it to him on the basis of funny it is! That's hilarious.
19Hey, it works all the time when I get my bacon wrapped hot dogs!
20He's an idiot.
21wtf?? haha this was funny
22The cashier called 911??? For pot really?? I would have just turned him away it's not like he was trying to hold him up or something. Sheesh over-react much. But it is a funny story. What a doofus.
23Hey man, if you really got the munchies, you gotta do what you gotta do. LOL.
24Anyway, I would have told him I needed cash, and sent him on his way. I wouldn't have called the cops on him!
hahaha~ he must have been really stoned
