DEA claims legalizing medical marijuana in Utah will lead to stoned rabbits
Published in Weird News
SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) -- During a discussion concerning Utah legalizing medical marijuana edibles for people with certain ailments, an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration claimed legalizing medical marijuana in Utah could lead to rabbits getting high on it.
The agent, Matt Fairbanks, started by saying how medical marijuana could affect marijuana use among young people. He works for the marijuana eradication team and said while getting rid of illegal grows in the mountains, he's seen "the deforestation [from illegal marijuana grows] has left marijuana grows with even rabbits that had cultivated a taste for the marijuana where one of them refused to leave us, and we took all the marijuana around him, but his natural instincts to run were somehow gone."
Several studies have found that marijuana should be kept away from animals, because they will often consume too much, and it can cause smaller animals health problems. However, no studies have been done concerning how legalizing marijuana affects wildlife consumption of marijuana.
