DEA: Legal marijuana will lead to stoned rabbits

A new bill could legalize medical pot in Utah, but one Drug Enforcement Administration agent fears for the animals, according to the Washington Post.

Agent Matt Fairbanks told a Utah Senate panel that, in his time fighting marijuana grow sites, he had seen “rabbits that had cultivated a taste for the marijuana,” adding that, “his natural instincts to run were somehow gone.”

“I deal in facts. I deal in science,” Fairbanks said, according to the Post.

The testimony didn’t appear to convince the Utah Senate, though, and the bill will be discussed later this week.

“The ramifications to the flora, the animal life, the contaminated water, are still unknown,” Fairbanks finished.
