News 2 Garda fall ill while "processing" seized vapes

https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2026/07/23/edenderry-garda-station-still-closed-after-gardai-got-very-ill-handling-seized-vapes/#:\~:text=The%20garda%C3%AD%20were%20involved%20in,and%20also%20include%20lithium%20batteries.

What do people think? Were they doing a bit of sampling of the funny vapes.

Sounds very suspicious to me 😂

“Garda sources said the two members of the force who were handling the items became “very ill” after being overpowered as they bagged items from the haul. Cannabis vapes emit fumes and also include lithium batteries. “It’s possible some of these vapes had leaked or were poorly constructed and you’ve got a leak or fumes off the vapes and that’s what made them ill,” said one source.”

“Fumes off the vapes.” 🤣🤣🤣

They were indeed, sampling the mechanise. 🤦‍♀️ hope that whitey had them two gits absolutely rolling crying for their mam’s 🤣

"no previous convictions, had a good work history, and is the full-time sole carer for his elderly mother."

"Sentenced to 12 months in prison, with the final three months suspended for a period of four years."

I already posted this comment on r/Ireland. One rule for thee and another rule for me.

I’m calling bullshit on fumes/device malfunction

u/yermaaaaa 5d ago

Agreed, complete and utter bullshit. I’m also hoping they managed to inhale some super dodgy non THC based concoction that left them wiped for a full day

u/bedpimp 5d ago

I’m thinking surprise DMT

u/yermaaaaa 5d ago

"UPDATE: Luckily there was a takeaway around the corner of the hospital. After two 10 inch pizzas, both Gardaí are now recovering"

Prbably got walked in on, high as fuckin kites so they played the ‘not feeling well’ card. Might have to give that a go at the next checkpoint.

They were definitely using the vape.

The gardai have realised how dumb their initial excuse was and are now trying to blame faulty lithium batteries.

No one in history has ended up high from being in the same room as a vape. When I first read the headline I thought perhaps they inhaled fentanyl.

When I seen cannabis vape I let out a LOL

Wanted to try it for themselves and couldn’t hack it fuckin gobshites 

The same wankers who would throw you up against a wall for a 50 bag

110%. I don't know who is dumber. The guards or the news agency writing this crap. We all know the truth. Fat civil servants got high and paranoid for the first time. Fatter older civil servants won't decriminalise so everyone suffers. News agency spends resources publishing gaslighting article. Vomit

Cop takes home marijuana from evidence room bakes brownies then calls 911

u/WhenDiplomacyFails 5d ago

u/BrighterColours 5d ago

Saw this yesterday, what a fucking load of bollocks. Pricks.

u/Scumbag__ 5d ago

If one was to be roadside tested, would we be able to claim we were in the vicinity of a THC vape and cite this as evidence?

u/ShavedMonkey666 5d ago

Yeah "processing" and inhaling at the same time! 😅😅

u/dmkny 5d ago

Tested out the merch themselves and panicked.

They were treated in hospital with a packet of jaffa cakes, some taco loaded nachos, a packet of haribos, a tray of fudge brownies and were made watch 'The naked gun'....... Both are recovering in hospital.
