#1 Smoke, Enjoy it now while you can, Ramesses.

To wit,

TOPIX > MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: ISLAMIST SHARIA RULE AFTER MUBARAK ERA [Death or end of Mubarak Period = Enforced Sharia + End of israel, Zionism, + Egyptian Secularism].

#2 Wonder if the Gaza blockade has anything to do with the shortage.

#5 I recall a story from way back, when Israel and Egypt were going at it, (I think they were dug in on either side of the Suez canal for a long time) and supposedly Israeli intelligence people were escorting convoys of hashish smugglers from Lebanon to the Egyptian troops. With a deplorable effect on the renowned Egyptian military readiness, over time.
Always wondered if it was a true story.
