Israel Grass

If you happen to be Israeli and the police officer in front of you is smiling friendly at you, this story from Reuters might have something to do with it:

Israeli police had to close an entire floor of their station because the pungent scent of tons of confiscated marijuana was making them high, an Israeli newspaper said Friday. The drugs, smuggled from Egypt, are kept in a storeroom of a police station in the southern town of Dimona. Police have confiscated so much, that the room is filled up almost immediately after its contents are sent to be incinerated. Every time I came to work I felt...like I was high, the Maariv newspaper quoted one officer as saying. The smell of marijuana was killing us -- it was impossible to work. The newspaper said a police medical officer ordered personnel to move to another floor until the drugs could be shipped out.
