It is, however, pretty hard to find any way to defend your house against a very expensive bag of weed falling from the actual sky and putting a giant hole in your roof. A couple from Arizona were awoken by a loud bang in the night, but assuming it was a thunderstorm returned to bed. In the morning they were shocked to discover a bundle of marijuana that police estimate to be worth $10,000 (£6,500) on the floor of their home, and a huge hole in the roof. It’s a big crater, as you can see below. via ABC / Nogales Police Dept Not only that, but the enormous bag of weed also completely destroyed the doghouse belonging to the couple’s German shepherd. Needless to say, if the dog had been resting up at the time that the weed meteor struck, it may not be with us today.

The Nogales Police Department suspect slash completely know that the weed was accidentally dropped from the sky by a drone carrying the contraband over the border from Mexico. It’s increasingly common way to traffic drugs – earlier in 2015, a drone carrying six pounds of crystal meth crashed just one mile from the border. The advantage of this transportation method is that it negates the need for drug mules (a dangerous and exploitative technique) and stops cartel bosses having to meet in person. However, sometimes the drones will fuck up and drop marijuana meteors on residential areas, putting people, homes and dogs at risk. Escape the algorithm!
