Special Pot Delivery

Just yesterday, we published an Associated Press report on how Postal Service volunteers may step up to distribute antibiotics in the event of a future anthrax attack.

Apparently, at least one postal carrier already has a head start in drug distribution -- and is paying the price for it. The Beaverton, Ore., Valley Times reports that Ronald Richard Berkan has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for selling marijuana on his route. Berkan also had to resign from the Postal Service after nearly 15 years of service and had to forfeit $3,000 of the money he made peddling weed.

Berkan's dope distribution scheme apparently went on for years, and he had at least one customer who was under 21.
