Drugs are always a stupid choice, but why do some people do it? There’s lots of reasons: loneliness, depression, lack of self-esteem or control, out of control BINGO habit. No I’m not kidding. I’m not that good of a writer.

SIERRA VISTA, Arizona (AP) — A grandmother found with a trunk full of marijuana was convicted of drug running in what prosecutors said was an attempt to earn cash for a bingo habit.

State troopers found 10 bundles of pot totaling 214 pounds hidden in Leticia Villareal Garcia’s car trunk last year when they stopped her outside Bisbee, in far southeastern Arizona.

Villareal, 61, told jurors before they convicted her Thursday that her only regular income was a $275 monthly welfare check, but she frequently played bingo and occasionally won thousands of dollars.

A grandmother was over 200 pounds of pot. Now I know why so many of them have so much hard candy on them at all times.

The AP goes on to report that prosecutors in the case said that BINGO, not drugs, led to Mrs. Villareal’s demise saying, “People who play bingo almost every night of the week end up losing in the long run.” Tell that to the old lady who’s taking me to Disney World this summer.

Villareal is looking at some serious time in prison, something she’s able to look at because her glaucoma is completely gone.
