Too Stoned to Fight
Police in Portugal will be allowing fans to smoke pot without penalty at the big game Sunday--they'll be watching out for drunks instead:
ENGLAND fans will be allowed to smoke dope before Sunday’s crunch clash with France — to keep them calm. Cops in Lisbon plan to crack down on drunk supporters while turning a blind eye to those spotted puffing on a spliff. Pot-smoking fans have been assured they will not be arrested, cautioned — or even have their drugs confiscated. Last night experts said the Portuguese police’s “Here We Blow” policy would reduce chances of a punch-up between rival fans....Fans who seem to be drunk may be breath-tested and refused entry.
