Just think of the horrors of bunnies with munchies!
Utah is considering a bill that would allow patients with certain debilitating conditions to be treated with edible forms of marijuana. If the bill passes, the state’s wildlife may “cultivate a taste” for the plant, lose their fear of humans, and basically be high all the time. That’s according to testimony presented to a Utah Senate panel (time stamp 58:00) last week by an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
“I deal in facts. I deal in science,” said special agent Matt Fairbanks, who’s been working in the state for a decade. He is member of the “marijuana eradication” team in Utah. Some of his colleagues in Georgia recently achieved notoriety by raiding a retiree’s garden and seizing a number of okra plants.[…]
Fairbanks said that at some illegal marijuana grow sites he saw “rabbits that had cultivated a taste for the marijuana. …” He continued: “One of them refused to leave us, and we took all the marijuana around him, but his natural instincts to run were somehow gone.”

Sorry to go immediately OT (though I’m not sure what else there is to say about the dangers of stoned rabbits): this piece by Curt Schilling is pretty awesome, and somewhat reminiscent of the Fr*sch Affair.
I saw someone use the term móropseudocracy. The USA is a móropseudocracy. We are ruled by idiotic lies.
” I *warned* you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you *knew*, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little *bunny*, isn’t it?”

Did the DEA mention whether “stoned rabbits” are worse than those damn “silly rabbits” ???
