Royal Mail has launched an investigation into footage that shows postmen staggering in the street after “accidentally” eating brownies laced with cannabis. The video, which was posted to Instagram Stories by a since-deleted account, appears to show postal workers at a delivery office in Clapham, south London, in a daze and struggling to stand. The brownies were allegedly sent to a house that was “empty” with no return address. According to the Daily Mail, they were opened and shared among the office a month later.
