Cannabis blunder at Tokyo airport

Unread post by Istik » Tue May 27, 2008 12:33 pm

An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say.

A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security.

Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in.

Tourism just jumped 50%, welcome to Japan and enjoy your pot.

lol, the worst part about it is his wife probably found it and he probably got divorced because bags of pot do not "just appear" in your luggage.

And... not that I know about any of that stuff, but 142 grams is a lot of fuckin pot..
