Monk Cannabis Arrest Incident
Twenty-two Buddhist monks were detained in Colombo after returning from Thailand, allegedly for carrying cannabis. The incident occurred following a court hearing in Negombo.
Twenty-two monks prove that even spiritual seekers can't resist a little international cannabis tourism - turns out enlightenment comes with some seriously chill side effects! Guess those meditation retreats in Thailand aren't just about inner peace after all.
