A Georgia man recently made headlines after attempting to get five pounds of marijuana delivered to his local Walgreens. Sebastian Juwon Courtney, a resident of Thomasville, had ordered the drug from an unknown source and was expecting its arrival until law enforcement discovered the illegal shipment.
FedEx Shipping Center in Tallahassee, Florida detected the weed in transit and alerted drug agents, who then set up surveillance at the drop-box where the delivery was supposed to be completed. When Courtney came to pick up the package, he was arrested by deputies from the Sheriff’s Office and the drug was confiscated.
It is important to remember that marijuana is illegal for use, growth, and sales in the state of Georgia. In Atlanta, the state’s most populous city, regulations regarding weed usage bend slightly and the decriminalization of smoking the plant in small doses is recognized within city limits. Although Courtney was booked, the charges he faces remain unknown to the public.
This incident highlights the importance of staying up to date with all local, state, and national laws regarding the usage of marijuana. As legislation regarding the drug constantly evolves, one can make the mistake of buying or possessing weed from another state. To avoid any legal trouble, it is important to be aware of all regulations and laws that are in place.
