Turkish Police Burn 20 Tons Of Confiscated Weed, Get Town High

Residents of the Turkish town of Lice may have experienced a second-hand “high” after police burned 20 tons of confiscated marijuana in the city center. For five days, locals could not open their windows and avoided leaving their hopes. The destroyed cannabis was valued at over $261 million dollars. “This was perhaps done as a preventive measure to deter, but the fact that it was destroyed in the city center could cause serious discomfort to people due to the smoke of burned hemp,” Yahya Öğer said. He recommends police instead dispose of marijuana in factories with filtered chimneys. (Oddity Central)
