Monk Drug Arrest

Twenty-two Buddhist monks were arrested at Bandaranaike International Airport with large quantities of drugs. The Negombo Magistrate's Court issued a 7-day detention order for investigation.

Guess some monks decided "inner peace" meant getting high as a meditation technique. Turns out their spiritual journey just took a seriously unexpected detour through customs with enough grass to make Bob Marley look like an amateur.

Monks, please reuse the banana leaves. Don't waste them, and spoil our banana harvest. No body asked you to walk for peace without slippers. #SriLanka https://t.co/DzqnsYNuwd
