DEA warns of stoned rabbits if Utah passes medical marijuana

DEA warns of stoned rabbits if Utah passes medical marijuana

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/02/dea-warns-of-stoned-rabbits-if-utah-passes-medical-marijuana/

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 deacade. 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.

It undermines their fabulous work in eradicating a dangerous weed that's been used as snake oil by those devil-worshiping pagans for thousands of years.

High hares may at worst be problems for the cultivators, but I don't quite see why that should be pointed to with alarm.
