If you catch a whiff of something pleasant wafting across the Tasman this month, then you can thank the good officers at Turangi Police Station on New Zealand’s North Island. After police in the town seized a large crop of the much-loved plant, they destroyed it by burning it in their station furnace.
Unfortunately, this method proved half-baked, and the surrounding area was coated in a plume of rather green smelling smoke, with the carpark of a nearby supermarket worst hit. “[It] certainly caused us to look at our practice which we’ll be addressing,” Taupo District Area Commander, Warwick Morehu, said.
On the plus side, the supermarket sold out of frozen pizzas and Doritos within seconds.
