Man called his home Margaweedaville and sold drugs off a menu board, SC cops say Mark Price, The Charlotte Observer
Apr. 7 An elaborate mom-and-pop drug operation called Margaweedaville has served its last order, according to the Florence County Sheriff s Office.
The shop, based in a Florence neighborhood, was closed after police said an extensive undercover operation found it was peddling marijuana in a take-out approach. Florence is about 80 miles northeast of Columbia.
Among the items found with a search warrant: A menu board that listed multiple strains of marijuana, portion sizes, price options and THC percentage, officials said.
A photo of the menu board shared on Facebook showed offerings dubbed papaya cake, jet fuel, mimosa and blue cookies. Each listing included a brief description of how the user would feel, from relaxed to euphoric to uplifted.

Beyond the cannabis, police also found a hydraulic press, two firearms, about US$2,700 ($3,402) and other drug paraphernalia.
Additionally, the post notes, âInside the residence, investigators found a billboard which named the location âMargaweedaville,â complete with a description and price of various marijuana products available for purchase.â The billboard appears to be a slippery play on Jimmy Buffettâs
Margaritaville, the lyrics of which include âwastinâ away again in Margaritaville.â
âMargaweedavilleâ was in full swing despite a small child being allowed to reside in the home âwith unsecured firearms, multiple pounds of illegal narcotics, some of which are in edible form and where the subjects are alleged to have engaged in criminal activity,â investigators allege.
