A squad of armed South African police officers with drug dogs stormed the elderly woman's home and discovered the pot stashed in multiple bags, according to the Daily Mail.
"This lady was quiet, old and looked like an angel sent from God," said the rather poetically inclined Police Inspector Kobeli Mokheseng.
"But we received a tip-off two weeks ago that a lot of people were going into her house and coming out looking happy," Mokheseng said.
Wow, happy people? That will not do! Obviously, law enforcement was called for, don't you think?
"We sent in a drugs team who were prepared for a shootout, but they soon realized there was nobody to fight," Mokheseng said.
Police found three types of marijuana, locally known as dagga, stashed in the pensioner's garden shed.
The elderly lady, who said she lived alone in the four-room home east of Johnannesburg, South Africa, was arrested and taken into custody.
"She will spend the weekend behind bars, educating the police officers on what she was doing," Inspector Mokheseng said.
"This was quite an extensive operation going on, with three types of the drug -- called Swazi, Local and Skans," Mokheseng said.
Wow, three separate strains? Granny's got it goin' on.
"We found money in plastic bags ready for the bank," Mokheseng said. "She was making quite a lot of cash."
"We understand she has many children and grandchildren, and we are trying to contact them," the police inspector said.
The woman is scheduld to appear before Alberton Magistrates' Court on Monday. She is charged with possession of illegal substances and selling cannabis.

Old age and B.S. should give her carte' blanch with her herb!lol

free granny!!!!
-
good heavens they should have left that poor woman alone ...Im sure she would have fallen under medical cannabis guide lines for acceptance.
-
NIGGERS!
-
there are some seriously backward discussions here. Poor women, these gogo's smoke and grow weed for decades, armed SAPS , that is such bullshit.
-
im with you on that
-
uh...duh... I uh.... WHERE? IDIOT!! READ the story... the woman was arrested in SOUTH AFRICA. I can understand your confusion, tho.. all the old ladies in the US smoking and dealing weed... lol....
-
True... Arabs will tend to do the same thing. Gave them Israel, they turned it back into a desert. The Jews take it back and it's filled with citrus and industry. As "peoples", Arabs and Blacks are not deep thinkers and are not progressive. Whites, including Jews, if I may, have invented about everything people use in their daily lives and most breakthroughs in medicine where blacks and muslims have invented nothing to help mankind, in fact, they do the opposite by sucking off the hand of the white man while complaining about it. As far as the old lady dealing marijuana...why is this thing illegal all over the place, where alcohol is not?
-
Please my friends.....we are all in this together...pot laws will never be changed unless we stay united......that has always been the policy..Divide & Conquer.

You assholes, South Africa was NEVER populated by blacks because there was no water source within like 500 miles, Blacks invaded like the mexican nationals are doing in the u.s. now, S.A. was a white colony and now it will soon be barren again because thats what blacks do in large groups, fuck shit up where ever they live in the world, they cant help it, they just do, well whitey dont deserve to keep South Africa if he's gonna just let a bunch of cave men take it so i guees we will wait for the arabs to finish killing all the blacks in Africa perioud, cause thats what they are doing.
-
Why would white folks be scared of some weed? Damn, you stupid, you make us look bad niguh, get some education...dumbass
-
knock it off you guys ! Can't we talk about this without calling a stranger a hateful name ? Anonymously at that ...
-
'white folks' Larry ? No capice ... honestly don't mean to be rude but long ago promised to "constructively confront" 'racializing' ... can't tell by lookin' and the genomes tell us its futile. But I hear ya anyway ~ international cannabis repression has <always> been aimed at People of Color ... Indigenous Peoples understand its role so much better than the Wonks who would attempt to run/ruin our lives. Oppression begins with the consent of the Oppressed ... my father is a 94-year old Californian, a medical cannabis user/producer.
-
lol maybe this is obvious but i think everyone is kinda high. what i love about the article is this -- "said the rather poetically inclined police inspector." other than that, the comments make the article worth reading. totally ridiculous.
-
I can't believe some of the idiotic comments on this thread. Bottom line is, US government is jonesing for cash bad enough to go after a 90 year old woman who has 170 pounds of profit!
-
I don't believe my eye's I thought we had moved to UNITY understanding CLASS war is the ONLY one concerning the Cannabis community.. it's WHY we Have to fight to have our mediciation.. CONTROL folks.. Lets not get hung up on triffle.. WE ARE ONE LOVE.. let's please start acting like it.. If Unified Round the GLOBE to see our restoritive plant to it's rightful place in EVERY GARDEN as MANY as you want or are able to grow.. It will result in HEALTH for MANY and Eco friendly Products.. Ok.. lets get focused on Destroying the LAWS that were instated by the likes of Dick NIXON.. we are living an old nightmare that SHOULD like RACISM, & Bigotry,have been eradicated YEARS ago.. Idiocy.. well, I'm afraid we are as stuck with that one as we are w/stupid..(err we have a police force).. Ooops that was Bigotry wasn't it...LOVE TO ALL and a SAFE SANE WORLD SOON!!!
-
sarcasim is the lowest form of humour...
-
It never ceases to amaze me how one ill-conceived comment can start a war. Think about this poor (apparently not) Old Lady. We need to start a "Free Granny" FB page, Now !!
-
When granny was a girl, cannabis was legal, as it had been for thousands of years. These past decades of prohibition have been an aberration. One can only hope that we will universally come to our senses before more 90 year old grandmothers are arrested for making people happy.
-
Probably is not IS..
-
this story exemplifies the sheer ludicrousness of criminalizing cannabis
-
i 100%agree with you
-
fuck that! let granny toke n sell dope! south africa iz a beautiful country, but itz still haz a darkside! they traffic women 4 sex and slave tradez, weed duz not hurt nobody! all it duz iz makez u feel good & getz u close 2 GOD, he created it! obviouzly she took avantage! so fuck u assholez who have never tried WEED, dnt talk shit until u have tried it! cuz all that knock it are stuck up ass, bitch ass, crackerz ass, punk ass bitchez!

-
lol you guys are wild
-
are we not past the stupid racism yet? i thought we all grow up but i guess there are still many stupid, little people left in the world!
-
Just keep in mind that God made us all equal. Color has nothing to do with it. God also created marijuana for our use; just as he has given us other medication's to use and doctors to medically take care of us. You choose to be raciest, call names (as we teach our children NOT to do) and you choose to use or not use marijuana. I give this older woman all my support!
-
We're talking about marijuana, not racist jokes. How bout joining together to legalize it, not fight. It's a peaceful thing, really.
-
I live in NOR CAL and YOU DO HAVE TO WORRY!!! I'M THE OWNER OF A CLUB AND STILL BATTLE WITH THE DEA :(
-
I am laughing my ass off! these guys are getting all their pent up testosterone out on this old lady's new story!
-
Spark It... Afraid, No Fear Here...
-
I agree:) Funny and stupid, this was suppose to be about an old lady dealing drugs, where did the rest come from??? That old lady rocks:P
-
I happen to know many white people NOT afraid. Most of my dealers have been "White Folk." Now, I happen to live in CA where marijuana is semi-legal, so I don't have to worry anymore. You should really think about what you're saying before you speak, you sound like an idiot.
-
nice name
-
Hint: It's full of white people.
-
You idiots, do you know anything about South Africa and who founded a ginormous colony there, and who runs it now? HMM? :P
-
wat an idiot lol dont u watch the news in the last decade lol blacks are in power now u dipshit
-
See who has the last laugh when cops seize plants not marijuana http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&oi=news_result&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CC0QqQIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsjunkiepost.com%2F2010%2F05%2F22%2Fhundreds-of-pot-plants-seized-by-texas-cops-are-horse-mint%2F&ei=vxIGTID2EsOAlAfE88X6Cg&usg=AFQjCNGjaypbV6HbuCGYrqoP7PXvU6JLtA
-
these are some of the funniest comments I have read in a while!: ha ha LOL
-
u all r on th wrong track,racism,gangsters bigotry,faggotry,white,black so fuckin what we jus lost 170lbs of green. 3 different kinds.now some fat ass african politicians are hungry as hell an watchn th internet talkn about stupid shit. poor granny had to smoke that big doobie by herslf,these are th topics we should discuss.NORML IZE TH WORLD
-
your an idiot
-
How dumb is that .... I'm willing to bet SHE grew every bit of it herself
-
So just so you political fucks know ..... Not everyone that grows is a gangster ..... Coke heroin extacy those are gangster money making drugs get your facts straight weed can't make you thatuch money unless you have a huge garden which I bet granny grew in three out of four of her rooms come on now think about it common sence prevails she should get let off with a warning cause we all know the goverments going to turn that bud around and sell it to make there own profit .....gang members hahaha get real
-
yea if it was legalised it wouldnt mean everyone would do it becuase some people only do it because its illegal. and i would prefer the bloke with a glass bottle who was smoking weed rather than one drinking alcohol because weed doesnt cause aggresion like alcohol does.And thats scientificlly proven.
-
oh my god, I still don't beleive they arrested my nan..
-
yess :L
-
Yes! While the lady may have been the most peaceful weed supply known!!!
-
WOW go granny!!!!!!!
-
Doesn't inferring someone is an idiot mean you are insulting them? And if that makes me an idiot then Me Sir, Yes Sir I am
-
errrrrm? I can soo see why it should be legal, but if it was everyone would do it. It would be like alcohol,and we all know, *especially here in the UK* that as a race we just generally cant handle it. Lets work out how to go on a night out without getting glassed by some drunk bloke before we legalise something else :) Leave it illegal that way u know the people who get it are the ones who want it enough ya know? And it doesnt matter if your white or black, but its racism either way- take a joke though yeah? LOVE FROM YO MAM x
-
don't try and downplay the fucked up-ness of white people around the world jack shit :)
-
I agree. People still ignore the racial segregation in Africa. And you comment on this, thinking your funny Larry. Dick.
-
the money used to buy the drugs from the old woman may have been stolen or obtained illegally...last time i checked that doesn't stimulate the economy...don't be so naive, the drug trade isn't the happy place you somehow make it out to be
-
Here in Santa Cruz Ca we have Granny Purps she delivers medical marijuana and eatables. GO Granny GO! South Africa the home of the White Monster segregationist.
-
Be glad she was not in the US, they would of shot her for " resisting arrest and having an imaginary weapon, or just accidentally."
-
so, if that you say is bad, why turn SOME green weed illegal? It's gonna do more crime, make more criminals.. what's the point?! Because is bad to us??? so alcool and tabaco is good, so it's ok to be legal?! I don't think so.. some laws are to wrong! Filosofy and Religion have failed when they maked the law... i see politics going to the same way... they are not protecting us or the human rights, they are protecting interests
-
ARRR!!!
-
This has nothing to do with racism you dumbasses. This is about a corrupt drug policy that *does not work.* She's 90 years old, just leave her alone. At her age, a scare like that could potentially kill her(knock on wood.) The police should have just left her alone.
-
Last I checked, calling someone a bigot is still faggotry, faggot.
-
Why go after pirates when the filth can raid a granny's house? It's clearly a much more productive use of time.
-
"This lady was quiet, old and looked like an angel sent from God," If I knew you had 170lbs of weed, in my eyes you'd look like an angel sent from God too...
-
Remember when you were a kid and you used to go to your grandmas house and she wouldnt let you into that room? There could be like an international granny-ring or something. The funny thing is their busting this 90 year old woman for selling marijuana in a nation with severe problems with hard drugs.
-
LOL!! Awesome article, but yea, you really don't have to capitalize 'white folks' lol
-
Forget the squabbing about color of skin. The poo poo po po there should be ashamed of themselves as well as the poo poo po po world wide. The stuff was there from the beginning of creation on till now and to the end o time. They cant stop or control it. We should be free to enjoy and make love not war.
-
Didn't you just insult them by calling them idiots? Does that make you an idiot?
-
So racist jokes are ok as long as it's about a white guy?
-
insults are the weapons of idiots
-
ridiculous,why look for racism where it has nothing to do with it.
-
Well, you're all bigot-y faggets
-
the people she bought it from were probably gangsters, and they probably used the money they got off of her to fund other criminal acts. that's the biggest problem with it being illegal, the money they make off of it goes to the mob
-
Being called a bigot just isn't as insulting as calling someone a faggot, faggots.
-
she was probably buying the stuff off of gangsters, and apparently she was making LOTS of money, which means she was making lots of money for the gangsters, who were turning around and using it to fund violent and dangerous criminal acts. it should just be legal, but while it isn't, it's still funding malicious organized crime
-
what a clever and original vantage point on this subtle, nuanced topic
-
you're right, NOW is the time, before it would've been RIDICULOUS, but NOW it's the time... you don't know what the fuck you're talking about... neither do i, it's all good
-
last i checked calling someone a faggot was bigotry, bigot.
-
DAMN I WISH SHE WAS MY GRANNY SO I COULD WAKE UP SMOKIN WITH GRANNY AND GETTING SUCKED FOR FREE. THAT WOULD BE ONE GOOD ASS FUCK.
-
Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!
-
HAHAHAHHA! BOY YOU SUCK ASS AT MAKING JOKES!
-
well that's cool..I think that her medicine. An old woman doesn't seem use drug for other purposes.
-
Oh just legalize it and tax it. Just imagine the tax revenue generated from pot sales. They said that last year alone in California (where it is only legal for medicinal use), the state received over $9 million in taxes from pot sales to medical marijuana card-holders.
-
Beats the 87 year old lady busted in my town of Pensacola for selling crack.
-
you are now entering the twilight zone, where grannys get high, asians are driving instructors, and lost makes sense.
-
last i checked, you were still an asshole. maybe you should suck a little less dick, faggot.
-
he was also joking...
-
Well he's not wrong.
-
kinda sad, marijuana isn't hurting anyone. Pretty interesting, you never hear about dealers that old. I say let her off with a warning ha
-
A lot of people were going into her house and coming out looking happy," Mokheseng said. Wow! We can't have happy people running around this world can we? The time has come to galvanize and relegalize marijuana in the USA and all over Planet Earth.
-
Holy smokes dude, that ole granny is smoking a BIG fat one! Wow, pass it this way dammit! www.online-privacy.de.tc
-
OH no Some ones making people happy, hurting no one, and is stimulating the economy, what should be do? ARREST THAT WOMAN! What a stupid world we live in.
-
Last I checked it was not a white government that runs South Africa. Apartheid ended in the last century maybe you should smoke a little less. Bigot.
-
fe
-
its like having the key to the circus
-
DAMN I WISH SHE WAS MY GRANNY CAN U IMAGINE WAKING UP SMOKE'N ONE WITH UR GRANNY MAN THAT WOULD'VE BEEN FUN AS FUCK...LMAO
-
It just goes to show you granny... Crime doesn't pay. LOL
-
This story is ludicrous the only reason they busted her is because she made people happy? wtf? We need more happy people in the world, i bet grandma made good cookies too! Damn, such a shame. The only reason it's illegal is because they can't make money off of it as well as alcohol, and that happens to be way worse for your body than green.
-
Older people are so wise - they know what's good and what's bad, what works & what doesn't. This old lady should be an example for people of all ages
-
It's the stuff that dreams are made of.It's the stuff that White Folks is afraid of.
