In brief A German pothead was cuffed after reporting his dealer to cops for supplying seven ounces of "completely unenjoyable" weed.

Darmstadt resident Hans-Juergen Bendt, 52, complained of the "fraud" after the retailer refused to refund him the £270 he'd shelled out for "absolutely mediocre quality" toke. The police decided to ignore the serious allegation against the dealer and charge Bendt instead with buying and possession of drugs. ®
