Victoria, B.C., police say a man called 911 Monday night asking the operator if he could buy some weed.

The operator told police the man seemed extremely intoxicated and sounded confused. After a few minutes of rambling, the man hung up.

Police responded to the home where the call originated just before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. The man who answered the door was home alone and sober, but said he had some friends over earlier and they had just left.

Officers checked the home, but did not find anything amiss.

"With everything in order the officers thanked the man for his co-operation and carried on mindful that there was an intoxicated but potential marijuana buyer still on the loose out there," police said.
