“The gnome himself was visibly startled,” police said, referring to the gnome having its hands covering its mouth.

The only cops I’d be willing to say aren’t necessarily all bastards, would be the Dutch cops. Got to love their sense of humour.

All drugs must be legal. The bipartisan war on drugs and the police state spawned from it must end.

What was the idea? Lick the gnome like lollypop for 10 million people?

Probably as “inconspicuous” storage. If you’ve got a bunch of other garden gnomes around, this’ll look just like one of them.

Is it a clever idea? Did it work? Well, we’re reading about it…

It was probably for smuggling.

To be honest, I’m amazed that anyone even thought to send it off for testing. I’m an ex police officer and I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’d just lump it in with the other weird shit you always find in drug dens.

Do you suddenly feel the need to go back and test everything?

I imagine they got squirrelly or something whenever the cops went near it.

It was with a bunch of other drugs and the material looks a bit off. I’m sure you would’ve had a hunch.
