Police to let England fans smoke dope

From NICK PARKER in Portugal

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.

8. If this works on hooligans, would it work for the staff of Fox TV?

Or are there some things pot just can't cure? ;-)

12. HUZZAH!!!!

While I may have my issues with some policies of various European .govs and the EU, liberalization of drug laws is NOT one of them. When was the last time you saw a Ganja smoker assault anything more than a bag of Doritos? (and I've slain of few of those in my time :D ). I'm gonna have to ask my chat buddies in Portugal if this is true. I hope it is.
