Method Man gets cool points and maybe a bottle of Absolut (because it gives his chest hairs a perm) from me because of his honesty. Granted, it’s not a secret that he likes to get high. But this was too funny to pass up.

With all the celebrities not able to pay their taxes on their homes and their cars, his response had to be the best of them all. He was high. True, weed does make you forget , you get the munchies or end up on the highway like Martin Lawrence. Or Twittering in court like Jim Jones. But come on, Meth! He couldn’t hire an accountant to take care of that?

Citing the Wu Tang member for being  $52,503 in arrears on his personal income taxes, the state Department of Taxation showed up at the Staten Island native’s home at 6 a.m. March 19 with “four NYPD cops and the repo team,” Meth told us. “I knew why they were there. It wasn’t like ‘Oh my God! Noo!! Don’t take it!’ like it is on that TV show [“Operation Repo”]. I was half-dressed, and it was so early that I just said, ‘Okay, you’re taking the truck. … Aight.’”

The back story, according to the rapper, is simple.

“Myself, I’m a pothead,” he said on the set of a video shoot for his new album, “Blackout 2,” with Redman. “It’s no secret. Everyone knows that. I go on the road and forget everything else. Sure, [the tax department] sent letters to my house saying, ‘We need this money.’ They started sending them in 2002.

Here it is, 2009, and I never paid this s— because I don’t think like that!”

“I could have easily just written them a check for whatever amount, but no — I waited until they knocked on this door and were like, ‘We got your truck and we outta here,’?” he laughed.

“Now I’m thinking we’ve gotta get our truck back, which means I have to get all my paperwork together,” the rapper continued. “That means days of going through mail, ’cause I got mail like woah.

I’ve found checks from 2005 that have never been opened yet. And we’re talking a significant amount of money! But I never opened [the tax department’s] letters … so this is how the tax man came to Meth’s house and took his truck. Not because I was broke! I got plenty of money!” (source)

You know what? I think that it was the “F–k it” in his system (courtesy of Katt Williams) that said, “eff this bill.” Not putting words in his mouth or anything, but sometimes bills can stress someone out, so it’s only right to hit the blunt every now and then, right?

And how can you have checks from 2005? What kind of weed was he smoking that he forgot that he had checks with “significant amounts of money”? SMH…..
