QUIRKY WORLD ... Gone to pot... marijuana package falls from the sky

USA: Maya Donnelly awoke to what sounded like thunder in the early hours of the morning, but dismissed it as a typical monsoon storm and went back to sleep.

Later that morning, she looked in the carport at her home in Nogales, near the US-Mexico border, and saw pieces of wood on the ground. She found a bulky bundle wrapped in black plastic.

Inside was roughly 12kg of marijuana — a package that authorities say was worth $10,000 (€8,900) and likely was dropped there accidentally by a drug smuggler’s aircraft.
