RECORD DRUG HAUL GOES UP IN SMOKE

Record Drug Haul Goes Up in Smoke

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) - Police began burning 20 tons of marijuana and cocaine in a steel furnace on Tuesday in the biggest ever incineration of drugs seized in Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populous state.
"About 95 percent is marijuana. This was the year for marijuana," said Antonio Carlos Silveira, a spokesman for Denarc, the police's narcotics investigation division. Police have seized a record 25 tons of marijuana in Sao Paulo state this year, five times more than in 2002, he said.

The incineration should take up to 10 hours, Silveira said.

The steel furnace was the same one used when Brazil claimed a world record for a drugs incineration in mid-2001 when police burned 140 tons of marijuana and cocaine seized across the country over a period of 12 months.

Not reported in the above story:

"Thousands gathered to watch the incineration. Crowd took noticeably deep breaths and ate large amounts of potato chips."
