"An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say.

"A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security.

"Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in."

Dude! Where can I book my ticket? Talk about flying high! When the pilot says he's gonna "buzz" the airport, he ain't foolin' around! If you book round-trip, do you get acid?

"Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials."
 
Yeah. I'll get right on that, officer...meantime, can I borrow your lighter?

"This case was extremely regrettable. I would like to deeply apologise," said Narita International Airport's customs head Manpei Tanaka.

Well, by gum, keep trying until you get it RIGHT, man! Don't give up now!

You don't have to fly to get high, but it helps.

Sorry Tim (none / 0)

Only if you fly First Class.

The secret for you "coach class" folks is that in First Class , what really is in those "bags" of what you thought where peanuts is actually some serious chronic  . That is also why you cant use the first class bathroom....

Right wing conspiracy! (none / 0)
This is obviously a right wing conspiracy to draw our friend Tim's attention away from the important issues at hand. As soon as he gets back from the airport and his search of random baggage, provided he is not successful, I am sure he'll get back in the game.

Might be more appropriate to say the whole house is on fire.

This is awsome on so many levels (none / 0)
Mostly because it was free. And a lot. Makes the lines at the airport allmost worth the wait.

OHK, give it back.

Who else in Japan would find a mysterious bag of weed in their luggage and hold on to it because they thought it was funny?

Well, it IS funny.... (none / 0)
Pretty much every single one of my co-workers, just for a start.  But I wonder if the circumstances would make authorities more forgiving than usual.  Normally, controlled substance possession by a foreigner is a one-way ticket home in the form of deportation.

how funny is this! (none / 0)
imagine it was some kid's suitcase and s/he trying to explain it to mom and dad or just finding a stash in your own bag.  i can't stop giggling.

Enough to make me start believing in God.  And that he really is a Rastafarian.
