Apparently, even Massachusetts police are hip enough to know "420" is slang for getting high. Detectives say they contacted Gray through the ad, met him in a parking lot, and sold them a bad of marijuana for $45. Gray allegedly told an undercover officer, "I trust you. You look normal," according to the Patriot Ledger.
Christopher J. Gray was allegedly selling drugs on Craigslist, via a classified ad that read, "420 help Is here!"
