A drug training exercise by customs officials at Tokyo’s Narita airport may likely turn a tourist’s trip into the Lost Weekend. An overzealous official hid a parcel of cannabis in a Hong Kong visitor’s suitcase so drug-sniffing dogs could find it, said authorities. When the ganja failed to be caught on the wind by the pot-smelling poochies, customs tried to track down the suitcase, but apparently the package and the case disappeared in a puff of smoke. Although normally a training case is used, the official explained that they had stuffed drugs into unknowing passengers’ suitcases before without any repercussions. And if they do slip past, well, there’s always that spiffy body cavity search.

Meanwhile, the customs team is asking the public that if they find the package, to please return the heap o’ hash to them as soon as possible. Riiiiiiiiight.
