    “The gnome himself was visibly startled,” police said, referring to the gnome having its hands covering its mouth.

    The only cops I’d be willing to say aren’t necessarily all bastards, would be the Dutch cops. Got to love their sense of humour.

    To be honest, I’m amazed that anyone even thought to send it off for testing. I’m an ex police officer and I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’d just lump it in with the other weird shit you always find in drug dens.

      Do you suddenly feel the need to go back and test everything?

      I imagine they got squirrelly or something whenever the cops went near it.

      It was with a bunch of other drugs and the material looks a bit off. I’m sure you would’ve had a hunch.

        It’s some piece of art and the resemblance is intentional. Search for “Buttplug Gnome” to find out more.

          LOL I thought you are joking, but it is actually called buttplug gnome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_(sculpture)

          Officially the work represents Santa Claus holding a Christmas tree in his hands but the artist has implied that it could also represent a buttplug, and that “…For me, the sculpture is also about the consumer community - as a commentary on material consumption in the Western world.”[3]

            The unveiling was done by a man pulling off the cover, suspended by an overhead crane with hooks through his skin.

            Just put him on display I guess.

    Witch with a cold: “I curse you gnome. I turn you to ston!”

    Magic: Did she saw stone or stoned? Why not both?

      Probably as “inconspicuous” storage. If you’ve got a bunch of other garden gnomes around, this’ll look just like one of them.

      Is it a clever idea? Did it work? Well, we’re reading about it…

      I try to be happy with what I have but when I think of the insane drugs the rich have access to, with other people taking all the risk, I have to admit I’m a bit jealous.

      Are you in the US? MDMA is so incredibly common in Europe since the precursors to produce it are easy to get ahold of here

    All drugs must be legal. The bipartisan war on drugs and the police state spawned from it must end.
