Aussie cops post stoner’s to- do list

-

Sydney: The Australian police has revealed an insight into the life of a stoner — or habitual marijuana smoker — by publish

ing a 10- point “to- do” list found during a raid in Perth. The Murdoch police tweeted a photo of the list, removing any identifyin­g material, on

April 30 which mentioned 10 “Things to do Saturday”. Number one was “Get up, get ready”, but after mentioning catching a bus, and going shopping, number 10

read “Chop up and get stoned”. Number 5 was “Go

get lunch ( chips and gravy)”, 8 was a reminder to “dye hair” and 9 mentioned getting “a stick” — a refer

ence to small amount of cannabis in aluminium foil. “Are ur Saturdays hectic like this?” tweeted the police, a post which was retweeted hundreds of times. Western Australia’s Murdoch police later confirmed on Twitter

that the to- do list was authentic, and found while investigat­ing a suspected

burglary. In response to comments the police posted: “I don’t think any of us here could make it up if we tried! # nosenseofh­umour.” But not everyone found the post humorous, questionin­g why the police thought they

could publish the list on a public forum. “The humour was why it was posted, we

thought it was funny and did not disclose any identi

ties,” the police replied.
