This street in Turangi smelled pretty green after well-meaning police officers at the local police station tried to destroy a crop of marijuana by burning it in their furnace. Radio presenter Adam Green (his real name) was out to buy bread and milk at Turangi when he copped a whiff of the drug, then realised the smell, and plumes of smoke, was coming from the police station chimney. In the video, Green shows the smoky area and says: “Man, does it smell like the old ganja over there. That is impressive. I might just stand, in fact, here comes a good cloud wafting past at the moment. I might just stand here for a little while.” Taupo District Area Commander Warwick Morehu reportedly told One News that they would be looking for an offsite location to dispose of marijuana in future and the incident was “not ideal”.

When you casually head to the grocery store to pick up some milk, you probably don’t expect it to be a place you’ll end up getting high off your chops.

But that’s exactly what happened at a supermarket in Turangi, New Zealand, after police started burning an illegal haul of marijuana they’d acquired.

Stupid, stupid move.

A Facebook user uploaded a video of the incident to Facebook, noting that “the carpark next door (sic) is FULL of cars sitting the smoke!!! Only in turangi!!”

In the video he says: “Man, does it smell like the old ganja over there. In fact, here comes a good cloud wafting past now. I might just stand here for a little while.”

New Zealand police have apologised for the bizarre gaffe.

In related news, we’re expecting sales of potato chips at that supermarket to reach an all-time high.
