Toke the Cannoli

posted by on January 5 at 8:32 AM

A New York prison guard faces charges of drug smuggling after allegedly giving an inmate a box of cannoli, the creamy fillings of which hid baggies of marijuana.

It was “enough so someone could have a little personal consumption around Christmastime,” said Nassau County Police spokesman Kevin Smith to the Associated Press; along with the spiked pastry, the package also allegedly contained rolling papers, matches, and a flint pad.

Seems to me this is another cruel and unusual form of punishment (most likely devised by the Bush administration).

First you have to destroy the cannoli to get to the weed. Then you smoke up, get the munchies, what better for the munchies then a sweet cream filled dessert. Unfortunately instead of having a beautiful cannoli to crunch down on you now only have a pile of slop. Oh the humanity.

Also how can it be that prisoners in New York have access to cannoli but here in Seattle I can’t get a decent one to save my life.

Why did they need to smuggle in matched, rolling papers, and a flint pad? If I can make a pipe out of a toilet paper roll and the screen from a faucet, or a bong from an apple or bell pepper, they can in prison too.

gotta love that the ABC news site lists that the story is out of HEMPSTEAD, ny.

oh and david - thank you for my devirginising experience/introduction into the 'showgirls' world two nights ago. it was DIVINE, and my phag housemate who owns the special boxed set (the one with the shot glasses, playing cards, and the "pin the pasty on the nipple" game) was TRES jalouse.
