Potted rabbit

[bunsen_h]

The Utah DEA is now concerned that marijuana farms will lead to rabbits getting stoned and not showing their normal habits of self-preservation.

First: Rabbits are not exactly an endangered species.

Second: This will create a strong natural selection bias in favour of wildlife that isn't affected by cannabinoids.  In a couple of decades, that may give us some very useful pharmacogenetic data.

I'd have thought the federal EPA would be more concerned about such consequences than a state DEA. No?

That would be true if they were being rational and honest. But the DEAs are looking for excuses rationales.

Fair point, that.
