Laura Lee's Sin Bin - 22 Buddhist Monks

from WAPL Mornings with Laura Lee & Cutter · host Laura Lee and Cutter

22 Buddhist monks went on a nice little vacation to Thailand… and instead of bringing back souvenirs, they brought back 242 pounds of kush, which is not exactly what people mean by “spiritual elevation.”Customs opened their bags expecting robes and prayer beads and instead found… a full-on Breaking Buddha situation. Each monk allegedly had about 5 kilos hidden in secret compartments.Most of them were young trainee monks. Authorities said it was one of the biggest drug busts ever at that airport, which is wild because these guys were supposed to be avoiding earthly attachments… not smuggling them in bulk.Even senior Buddhist leaders were like, “yeah… we don’t know them,” basically calling them imposters, because nothing ruins your reputation faster than monks running a side quest as drug mules. For smugglin the drugs, the Buddhists monks should feel shame, shame, shame.
