DEA warns of pot crazed rabbits

Reefer madness said to make bunnies fearless

SALT LAKE CITY, Ut — 

Themessage stems from a proposal allowing patients with certain conditions to betreated with edible forms of marijuana.

MattFairbanks is a member of the “marijuana eradication” team. He issued the message to a Senate panel inUtah, saying he had seen animals "cultivate a taste" forthe sprouting plants.

Fairbanks saw "rabbits thathad cultivated a taste for the marijuana.” The Washington Post reports he went on to tell the panel,"one of them refused to leave us, and we took all the marijuana aroundhim, but his natural instincts to run were somehow gone."

Insimple terms, a baked bunny, is a fearless bunny.

Billadvocate Jeremy Roberts poked fun at the accusation. “One of the things we wantto do is make sure we don't have any crazed rabbits anymore in Utah," he quipped.

Despitethe high rabbit warning, the Utah Senate panel approved the bill and sent it tothe full Senate.

It seems after over 100 years we now know the real reason why Peter Rabbit kept breaking into Mr. McGregor's Garden.
