Deliriously high, a 21-year-old woman attempted to climb a 40-foot high voltage transmission tower in the Czech Republic city of Zlin. After spending four hours smoking “super-strength skunk cannabis,”she attempted to conquer the tower, thinking it was a bridge across the Morava river.

Police and drug counselors were eventually able to coax her off of the tower after she occupied it for two hours. Police spokesman Han Macalikova was wonderfully smug about the ordeal, saying “she’s lucky she didn’t get a new high—high voltage.”

This just proves that it might be better to stay in the house after spending a significant portion of the day getting super high.
