ISRAELI, LEBANESE WAR BURNS POT SMOKERS

War, uh, what is it good for? Well, apparently not Middle Eastern pot
smokers, who've now become the latest victims in the Israeli,
Hezbollah conflict. According to reports, this past summer's war has
forced an "eight-fold" spike in Israeli weed prices. The sky rocketing
rates are believed to be a direct result of supply shortages forced by
tightened security on Israel's northern boarder. Other cannabis
transport routes such as the Sinai Desert corridor have been squeezed
off by security patrols hunting for Palestinian gun runners. As a
result, Israel now finds herself in something of a pot panic, with
smokers shelling out dizzying sums of green to get their greens. In
the words of one unnamed dealer, "They don't realize that all their
wars are hurting the only thing that can bring a little quiet to the
region." Do I smell a possible Nobel Peace Prize nominee?
