Stinky stash makes cops queasy
( 2004-01-26 09:24) (Agencies)
Israeli police had to close
an entire floor of their station because the pungent scent of tons of
confiscated marijuana was making them high, an Israeli newspaper said on Friday.
The drugs, smuggled from Egypt, were being kept in a storeroom of a police
station in the southern town of Dimona. Police have confiscated so much that the
room is filled up almost immediately after its contents are sent to be
incinerated.
"Every time I came to work I felt... like I was high,'' the Maariv newspaper
quoted one officer as saying. "The smell of marijuana was killing us -- it was
impossible to work.''
The newspaper said a police medical officer ordered personnel to move to
another floor until the drugs could be shipped out.
