Israeli weed smokers choked by border fence with Egypt

By Maayan Lubell ISRAEL-EGYPT BORDER (Reuters) - Israel's newly fortified Egyptian border has delivered a severe blow to drug smugglers, forcing its hashish and marijuana smokers to deal with a new kind of high - soaring prices. The ravines that snake past rocky red mountains once provided a popular, low-risk route for traffickers to run drugs, women and African migrants into Israel over the southern frontier along Egypt's Sinai desert. And as workers weld the few remaining patches of the metal barrier, drug supply in Israel is down and prices are up. That's millions of shekels," said a senior Israeli military officer in the area.
