Indonesian cops seized more than 1,000 pounds of marijuana, and then burned the entire stash. Many locals felt the effects, including an “unusual” feeling.
A whole Indonesian neighborhood ended up getting high after cops burnt a 1,100-pound mountain of seized marijuana nearby.
Dope worth $1 million was sent up in smoke close to the police HQ in the Tangerang district of Jakarta,
reports Asia One.
But fumes from the bonfire, which was started by mask-wearing officers, spread over nearby homes.
Locals and journalists covering the blaze reported feeling buzzed, dizzy and "unusual" after inhaling the potent fog,
reports Science Times.
"I got a headache because I wasn't wearing a mask," said a resident named Deden. Another journalist reported having to "sit down and have a cup of tea" to recover.
Cops also destroyed 4-pounds of confiscated crystal meth and 2,538 ecstasy pills in the day of action on March 11.
Those narcotics were not believed to have been burned, however. It's unclear how they were disposed.
A spokesman for Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency insisted that inhaling the fumes would "not lead to any long-term health problems,"
reports Asia One.
