TESTING POSITIVE: 60 kg of confiscated weed causes a stink for French cops
- 9 years ago
French cops in the city of Roubaix say they're testing positive for weed, but none of them apparently inhaled or ingested anything.
The saga began after a police station in Northern France recently found itself gifted with 60 kilos of confiscated weed.
Owing to a strike by the agency that's supposed to collect and destroy contraband, the local police station had no choice but to store the pot in their basement.
And after a day or two, officers started to notice some "effects" from the scent of the illicit veggies in the basement, including nausea and headaches, or at least that's what they told their supervisors.
Several of the officers put two and two together and tested themselves for marijuana and the test came back positive!
Stoners all over the world would love to smell their way to a high, but there's no evidence such a technique works.
While some found the tale hilarious, the French cops involved were less amused, saying they could be found guilty of a crime if they were to, say, get involved in an accident and also test positive for cannabis.
France is not among the liberal-thinking nations of Europe when it comes to pot. It was only in January of 2014 that strict medical marijuana laws were introduced.
In fact, French marijuana laws are actually rather strict, with cultivators looking at a maximum of 30 years in the slammer and a seven and half million Euro fine.
