It’s cloudy with a chance of cannabis in Tel Aviv … a drone dropped bags of weed over a city square, sending folks running into the streets for the gratis greens.
Dank started dropping from the skies over Rabin Square Thursday, a ganja gift from local activists seeking to legalize it.
הזייה בכיכר רבין: רחפן הטיל מהשמיים עשרות שקיות של מריחואנה. מי שעומד מאחורי המיזם זאת קבוצה שמכנה את עצמה “הרחפן הירוק”. בגלל שלא חישבו נכון את הרוח, רוב החומר התפזר על הכביש באבן גבירול. עוברי אורח נהנו מהשלל@ynetalerts pic.twitter.com/xeziJsH950

As you can see in the video, the free baggies of bud started fluttering down from a high-flying drone, and people scrambled to scoop up the strains in the middle of traffic.
Pro-legalization group Green Drone hinted at the operation beforehand in a message on Telegram, saying … “The time has come. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the Green Drone sending you free cannabis from the skies.”
The fun police, AKA actual police, put a stop to it all, though — cops say they arrested 2 men who allegedly operated the drone. Police claimed the bags were packed with “a dangerous drug.” Hey, not everyone’s come around on marijuana.
Medical cannabis is legal in Israel, while recreational use is illegal, but mostly decriminalized.
