Waxman Staff Writer Mar 2, 2015 6:54 PM UTC Nebraska police arrested a 21-year-old man from Lincoln after finding 11.4 grams of marijuana in a container marked “Not Weed” underneath the front passenger’s seat of a car, the Associated Press reports via the [_Lincoln Journal Star_](http://journalstar.com/news/local/911/man-with-container-labeled-not-weed-cited-for-pot-possession/article%5F72366ab9-766b-5964-b482-4773ecdc5062.html).
