NEWS COMICS — In a move that has left many scratching their heads, an Anti-Drug Agency recently asked a court to strike out a suit seeking the arrest of an alleged drug lord, claiming that they were too high to remember anything.
"The thing is, Your Honor, we were all just having a little bit of fun before the raid," said the spokesperson for the agency, whose name we cannot legally disclose. "We were smoking a little bit of that good stuff, you know what I mean? And then someone came in and started talking about arresting some kind of baron, and we were all just like, 'what? Who?'"
The spokesperson went on to explain that the effects of the drug they had just ingested were so intense that they couldn't even remember their own names, let alone the name of the alleged drug lord in question.
"I mean, I know we were supposed to be investigating something, but to be honest, we were just having a great time," they said with a giggle. "We were all sitting around listening to music, eating snacks, and just enjoying each other's company. It was like a big, happy, stoned family."
But while the spokesperson's account of events may sound like a joke, the reality is that the Anti-Drug Agency's failure to make the arrest has serious implications for the local community.
"If this alleged baron really is involved in drug trafficking, then it's important that we do everything in our power to bring them to justice," said a local police chief, who spoke to us on condition of anonymity. "The fact that the Anti-Drug Agency was too high to remember anything is just ridiculous. It's like hiring a plumber who can't fix pipes because they're too busy eating donuts."
The spokesperson for the Anti-Drug Agency did apologize for their agency's behavior, and promised to be more focused and professional in the future. They also offered to bring snacks and music to future investigations, in the hopes of improving morale and productivity.
But for many, the damage has already been done. The alleged drug lord is still out there somewhere, possibly continuing to peddle their wares and wreak havoc on the community. And while we can all agree that a little bit of weed can be fun, there are times when it's important to put down the joint and focus on the task at hand. That's something we can all learn from the Anti-Drug Agency's hilarious misadventure.
