I thought this was a headline from “The Onion,” but it appears not.

The newly inducted president of the Republic of the Marshall Islands has announced the tiny Pacific nation had legalized the use of cocaine by executive order.

President Jurelang Zedkaia, a traditional chief and politician, said the Marshall Islands would also be introducing a no-visa unrestricted entry program for foreign nationals of any country.

Apparently, the country’s leader feels like, “we can totally not sink, if we can just keep doing blow.”
