More accurately, does anyone in the world even buy/sell $5 bags any more? I mean, what would that get you? A teaspoon of shake?

Two Idaho cops detained a man after mistaking his gripes about the Canadian rock band, Nickelback, for an alleged drug deal.
Deputies with Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office stopped two men outside a Coeur d’Alene gas station on June 20 after hearing what they thought was a pot deal.
The confrontation caught on video is only five minutes long and doesn’t show the beginning or the end of their interaction, but it captures the moments leading to a deputy pulling his gun on the young men and detaining one of them for reportedly “getting that attitude” and “being an ass---.”
The video begins after a deputy allegedly saw one of the men step out of a van with a wad of cash and another saying, “Yeah, nickel sack for sure,” a possible reference to a nickel bag of marijuana.
But the two young men allege their conversation was taken out of context and lost in translation because the deputies had just missed a truck leaving the gas station moments prior playing Nickelback at an unfortunate volume.
“No, Nickelback. That guy was blaring Nickelback,” the man holding a cell phone camera defended. “There was no nickel sack involved.”
“He’s talking about drugs. He’s not talking about Nickelback,” the deputy spewed back. “We’re not born yesterday. That’s a bull---- story. He said nickel sack.”
