Gordon Clement, 80, discovered the pot stashed inside of the painting, which he bought at a post office auction about five years ago. He found the drugs last weekend when he tried to sell the artwork at another auction.
Clement planned to ask $25 for the piece. Police said the marijuana was worth about $4,800.
