If only all criminals were this helpful.

A 24-year-old man called police to tell them he was trying to break into a church, but he wasn't having much luck.

Police said the found the man waiting at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. The man told them he had hoped to get married in the church and was trying to use a metal shovel to break through the doors. He told them he figured they could help.

Officers searched the man and found marijuana. He then invited them to his home where, he told them, they would find more drugs.

They did: He showed them his stash of marijuana and stolen prescription drugs.

The man was arrested on charges of criminal damage to property, possession of drugs and paraphernalia, police said.

Town officals were astounded.

"There aren't many arrests like that," Police Chief Jeff Morris said.

"This is a big deal, a very big deal because of the scope and duration of the activity. For six months, you had members of the U.S. government who knew that a person on their payroll was engaging in murder and they did nothing to stop it," says Bill Weaver, a University of Texas at El Paso law professor who has closely followed the case. "As much as they deny it, they had prior knowledge."

Some legal experts say the murder of a marijuana advocate could lead to a reconsideration of how medical marijuana is administered.

1. Look at the words in the four squares below.

2. Click on the word that is NOT slang for marijuana.

3. See the correct answer appear below. Repeat.

Chocolate does not contain substances similar to those in marijuana; chocolate contains instead substances that are similar to our own marijuana, so to speak; our own marijuana is called anandamide. Anandamide is a naturally-occurring substance produced by brain cells that mimic the mental effects of cannabis.

Number One: Don't put any stickers on your car. Nothing. Supporting law enforcement, belonging to a frat, being a Vietnam vet -- all of these make the fuzz notice you, and your primary mission is to blend in. That means no reckless driving, no overly safe driving. Blend.

Number Two: Add a woman to the mix. Nothing says "stoners" like a carload of sausage.

Number Three: Hide your pot in food. It won't fool the drug dogs (they're too smart for that) but it might confuse the handlers (no comment).

Number Four: Roll in the rain. No one likes to get wet, not even cops.

Number Five: If you're only holding a small amount of weed and a cop wants to search your car, give him consent. That's right: Give him consent. "When an American exercises his constitutional right to refuse consent to search of a vehicle, that is a huge reasonable suspicion to a cop," says Cooper. "A hundred percent of the time when somebody refused consent, I always found something they didn't want me to see." If the police want inside your car, they will get inside your car, even if that means hanging out on the side of the road until a warrant or a dog arrives. Give consent, and they probably won't look very hard. After all, you've got nothing to hide.
