Prohibition is a Joke to Police
September 6, 1951
Like any other morning Police started to arrive to work at the Van Nuys station in California. What they didn’t know is a dinner party mystery awaited them this day…
A nicely potted cannabis plant had shown up seemingly overnight inside the police station. Like a good game of Clue, questions were asked but only deepened the mystery. It seems no knew anything about nor wanted to claim this highly illegal cannabis plant in the police department…
But what to do when your stumped on the case? You play with evidence…
The inquisition would come to a head when the higher ups arrived later that morning…
Turns out the plant had been sent to the station ahead of a coming narcotics lecture later that week. Where the plant was sent from was mysteriously excluded from all news releases…
