When you’re stressed, some people say they mellow out by walking outside and getting some fresh air. Others say they chill out by smoking some weed. But in Turkey, they cover BOTH bases.
There’s a Turkish town called Lice, with about 25,000 people. And they all got HIGH . . . inadvertently . . . after the authorities there burned more than 20 tons of seized cannabis in the town center.
It happened back on April 18th . . . two days before 4/20.
People say the air became thick with weed smoke for FIVE DAYS, forcing residents to keep their windows closed and avoid going outside.
Officials didn’t burn the weed in an incinerator. They arranged the bags in the shape of letters spelling out the name of the town, L-I-C-E. And that’s why the smoke got out of control. It’s unclear whose bright idea this was.
The marijuana had been confiscated over the previous two years, and get this: They say it was valued at more than $261 MILLION in U.S. money. (???)
