'Bring me weed': Online request goes viral after Florida police tweet response 'Bring me weed': Woman gets perfect response from police after plea for marijuana
(35 minutes later)
A US woman who tweeted a request for "somebody to bring me weed" has become the centre of a social media storm after the Palm Beach County’s Sheriff’s Office responded to her message. It's probably best not to advertise the fact that you might be prepared to pay for drugs. But that's what one woman did on Twitter - with her desperate plea eliciting a response from none other than the local police.
Rosa Sparkz - not her real name - sent the request on 21 July.
Somebody bring me weed. I'll pay for itSomebody bring me weed. I'll pay for it
