Nigeria's anti-narcotics agency confiscated 6.5 tonnes of marijuana on Tuesday - from the home of a man who claimed he was 114 years old.

'The quantity of drugs suggests a large scale involvement ... There is more to the case than Pa Sulaiman,' NDLEA chairman Ahmadu Giade said in a statement.

Adebayo, who said he had been a farmer all his life, told police he thought the sacks contained rice.

This is a serious charge. He should get life imprisonment.

He’s not really 114, it only feels like it.

Did you say Sulaiman Adebayo?

He’s my barrister there. I just sent him all my banking information last week.

He's been a farmer all of his life.... yeah, we know what he's been growing.

He should consult Bill Clinton - it depends on what the definitiion of farmer is....

I listened to an interview with Tommy Chong on XM Radio.

There's a great story behind that particular skit. Reportedly, a good part of it was ad-libbed, and Cheech Marin was really getting frustrated.

Ahh let the old stoner smoke in peace. At that age, you should be able to do what you want.
