Its hard to tell if this is helping or hurting the so-called “war on drugs”, but its definitely a war no one is winning. In a suburb of Medellin, Columbia, called Bello, the cops there had seized over 1.5 tons of weed. And, without taking wind speed and direction into account, went to work attempting to save the people from drugs, by burning it to destroy it. And because people smoke weed to get high, no one could ever get high from this weed if we burn it into smoke before they can smoke it...wait, what?
As they lit the enormous stash of pot on fire, the wind shifted and the smoke from the burning weed engulfed much of the town. Anybody who lived in the town only had to breathe normally to enjoy an unexpected surprise from the Columbian police. Or hold their breathe for 20-30 minutes to wait for the smoke to dissipate.
Hard to tell who's "winning" the war on drugs in a Colombian town that's now completely shrouded in marijuana smoke, and it's all because the cops lit up a huge pile of pot at the wrong time. https://t.co/6Jxd1pqc4z
