Following a false report of an armed robbery at a Toronto marijuana dispensary, a police officer appeared in front of reporters to assuage any lingering public concerns. This is customary operating procedure in these types of situations.
But one cannabis enthusiast decided to join the gathering and ask his very pressing question to the cop. It was so innocent and sincere to such a frivolous question, given the context.
Cop: It's safe. There's no one with a gun at the dispensary
Dude: So can I buy pot now?

“It seems that it is empty in there, there is no person with a gun, there’s no one in the business at all, so everything is safe right now as far as we can see,” the cop says.
“Am I allowed to go and grip a 20 sack now?” the cannabis enthusiast asks.
The cop stifles giggling for a few seconds in the clip, before asking if anyone else has any other questions.

Kudos to the cop for (mostly) keeping the bubbling laughter at bay. We would’ve laughed.
