JUPITER, Fla. — If your method of securing drugs is via social media, beware of who may be watching.

When someone purporting to be from Jupiter, Florida took to Twitter with a request for “weed,” the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office was quick to respond.

At 5:19 p.m., "@Rosa_Sparkz” sent the tweet: “Somebody bring me weed. I’ll pay for it.” Within the hour, a reply came from the PBSO’s Twitter account: “Where should we meet you?”

As of 10:45 p.m., the original request had more than 16,000 retweets.
