'Pot Sasquatch' is real and it's here to get stoned and interrupt the local news

While you may have heard of Sasquatch, the large and hairy humanoid creature that walks on its hind legs, a new breed of Bigfoot has been discovered in Western Massachusetts: Pot Sasquatch.

A person dressed as a ginormous nugget of weed had a great time trolling WWLP meteorologist Jennifer Pagliei during her coverage of the winter storm which plowed through the northeastern United States on Thursday. Just as Pagliei started to deliver her live update, the Pot Sasquatch creeped into the shot, surprising her when she turned around to show off the snowfall.

Pagliei later posted a link to the video on her Facebook and said that "a walking tree" interrupted her shot. But WWLP officially dubbed the creature "Pot Sasquatch" on its page.

In November, Massachusetts voted to legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21-and-over. The law went into effect Dec. 14, and as the video shows, people are clearly enjoying the benefits of the new legislature in the Commonwealth.
