Many mediocre, low-hanging jokes about Taco Bell and Fritos were surely made in the vicinity of Bello, Colombia this month as authorities attempted to burn a 1.5 ton seizure of cannabis… which proceeded to smoke out the entire town.

According to an article from TMZ, the event occurred a few weeks ago after cops and soldiers in Bello seized approximately 1.5 tons of cannabis from local dealers.

“Puff, puff, NO pass is in full effect for residents of Bello … a suburb of Medellin, which of course is best known for a different drug, but we digress,” reads the TMZ article that without a doubt makes the weakest acknowledgment we’ve ever read about Colombia’s cocaine trade.

Indeed, an entire country’s culture and customs gets summed up with one “Do you guys know how that country has cocaine?” joke and everyone loses their minds. Could you imagine what life would be like here if Coloradoans were just crammed into stereotypes like “Smoke weed” or “Hazy IPAs” or “Subarus?”

Actually… don’t answer that.

Authorities went on to try and burn the large seizure of marijuana, but the wind shifted that afternoon, and law enforcement instead created one of the best atmospheric hot boxes of all time since Method Man came to Red Rocks in April.

It didn’t take long for residents to start reporting the smoke, with officials having to evacuate several towers in the area.

“We felt a very horrible smoke coming out of the battalion, a tremendous smell of marijuana that stopped everyone,” one resident told a local news station, possibly while eating peanut butter directly out of the jar.

We’re guessing that authorities told residents that they weren’t in any danger, but that their blood pressure may decrease and that everyone needed to hurry home and listen to Pink Floyd’s “Animals” as soon as possible.
