The human race sometimes finds itself in the most bizarre situations when it tries to mix social life and soft drugs. ZeWeed Story is our light-hearted and amusing column on a selection of stories from around the cannabic world!
The small town of Cumbria, located in the Lake District National Park 100 km north of Liverpool, welcomes soft hikers summer and winter alike, with Scafell Pike, the highest point reaching a shy 978 meters above sea level.
On this late August afternoon, Cumbria Police received a distress call at 6.15pm: five men were trapped on a slope of Scafell Pike. Help was urgently needed, and arrived by helicopter, the hikers having stressed the “vital” nature of rapid intervention.
Once there, the flying St. Bernards will fall from the sky. ” The victims did not specify the nature of their injuries. The man I spoke to on the phone told me that four of his comrades were unable to walk, two of whom could no longer feel their legs. Local police chief Rory Wallace recounts. “So we took off from the base carrying four incapacitating stretchers, a type of stretcher used when severe head trauma or heavy fractures are suspected as first contact when the distress call is made. There are also deadly mushrooms in the park, Kendal Poison Control Centre (where the nearest hospital is located) had been notified and was also waiting for us in the emergency room.”
” But then we get off the chopper to see five stunned people, but no sign of trauma, fractures or any kind of injury “.
While four of the hikers seem very confused, the fifth is able to speak. ” In fact, my buddies wanted to get to the top and, with this beautiful view, smoke a joint or two. It was after they’d had a smoke that the trouble started… I couldn’t get them to come back down… “declared the only one of the five not to have tried the fatal firecracker.
Cumbria’s Chief Constable later reported on the station’s Facebook account: ” We were called out in a hurry, to discover four pot smokers, four smokers who obviously had a low tolerance for the stuff.
” One of them said he could no longer see the ground and was therefore afraid of falling into a precipice. Two others said they couldn’t stand up or walk, and the last one, not the least surprising, declared that he had no intention of going back down or helping his friends to do so. He wanted to stay there all his life, looking at the most beautiful landscape he had ever seen. says Wallace.
Police, working with Wasdale County Mountain Rescue, said they were able to bring the men to safety at 9:45pm. In their hotel.
Chief Constable Wallace, a great prince, will of course demand reimbursement of rescue costs, but promises not to prosecute.
On condition that they never set foot in Cumbria or the Lake District National Park again.
