On the internet you can get almost anything for a price. But be careful, the local police may be watching.

Sunith Baheerathan, an "alleged" stoner and "aspiring mechanic" from Ontario, Canada, took to his peeps on Twitter to sort out his need for weed.

Unfortunately for him, the cops were the first to reply, asking if they could join the party.

Awesome! Can we come too? MT @Sunith_DB8R Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop? Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff. — York Regional Police (@YRP) August 13, 2013

And the authorities didn't stop there. They quote tweeted the original call-out to the owner of Mr Lube, where Mr Baheerathan was working at the time.

With the police on his tail, Mr Baheerathan claims he was just joking around.

I just caused a huge outrage on Twitter over one tweet. Y'all really gotta stop taking tweets serious lmao — Sunith Baheerathan (@Sunith_DB8R) August 13, 2013

Either way, Twitter found the whole thing hilarious and retweeted the York Regional Police 1300 times, making both handle holders instant celebrities.

I'd like to thank my momma, my friends & the YRP, I'm FAMOUS RT @smoothcriminnal: @Sunith_DB8R LOOOL bro the feds making you famous LOL — Sunith Baheerathan (@Sunith_DB8R) August 13, 2013

So Mr Baheerathan may not have got his stash, but he is now the most popular pothead in town.
