Manhattan Dentist Gets Surprise Package – 31 Pounds Of Marijuana

A Manhattan Dentist called police to report a little surprise he got in the mail at his dental practice: 31 pounds of marijuana.

Dr. Richard Lyons was overwhelmed by the smell when he opened the UPS package containing over $50,000 worth of potent pot.

The dentist immediately called police and they are investigating who the package might have been intended for. Dr. Lyons said he would have alerted police if it had been one ounce of weed, much less 30 pounds. Lyons said "It's not legal, I didn't buy it!".

As I said on my morning show when talking about this story....I like a good dose of anesthetic at the dentist's office, but I think the novacaine and nitrous work just fine. You can see pictures of the good doctor and his surprise package here at nydailynews.com where I found the story.
