Whilst weed is now legal in many American states, it is still federally outlawed, meaning that the banks won’t accept marijuana moolah (MM). Weed sellers could stash their cash under their mattresses or in their freezers, but they’re going to be dealing with a case of The Princess and the Pea rather soon.

Yes, they could invest it in a new telly or a holiday or a flash car, but they are not.

I live with a marijuana smoker. Our house now has seven different bongs/pipes/filters and there are lighters and matches for days. Yes. That’s right. They invest their MM in bongs. True story. But it’s a bit more clever than that.

Here’s how it works, and it is very simple (those degrees of separation work wonders sometimes…).

The weed sellers take their MM and buy a super fancy bong, like that great diamond skull one in the video, for, say $10 000. They then sell that skull bong to the next person, for $10 000. The result? A bankable cheque.

Genius.

Oh, and that skull bong? It’s gold-encrusted and on sale for $100 000.
