Toronto Police Officers Eat Edibles On The Job

In Toronto, two police officers used the downtime during their shift in…well, not the smartest way possible.

CBC has reported that the officers in question ate edibles while on duty on Sunday, and they got so stoned that they had to call other officers for back up. Toronto police raided a marijuana dispensary over the weekend, which is where the edibles are suspected to have come from.

The officers were reportedly unaware that ingesting marijuana takes way longer to kick in than smoking it, so after eating and not feeling anything, they kept right on going. By the time their high actually kicked in, both of the cops were hallucinating so severely that they had to call for back up. It was reported that when the helped arrived, “one of the impaired officers took off running.”

On top of that mess, one of the officers who came in for back up slipped on ice and had to be treated for a head injury. Unsurprisingly, The Toronto Police aren’t giving many details about the incident, but did confirm that these two unnamed officers have been suspended and are under investigation.
