'I don’t know what the milk will be like after this,' drug agency officer says

Updated: 5:03 a.m. ET Aug. 16, 2005 MOSCOW - Russia’s long winter will just fly by for a herd of Russian cows which, a newspaper reported on Tuesday, will be fed confiscated marijuana over the cold months.

Drug workers said they adopted the unusual form of animal husbandry after they were forced to destroy the sunflowers and maize crops that the 40 ton of marijuana had been planted among, Novye Izvestia daily reported.

“There is simply no other way out. You see, the fields are planted with feed crops and if we remove it all the cows will have nothing to eat,” a Federal Drugs Control Service spokeswoman for the Urals region of Sverdlovsk told the paper. “I don’t know what the milk will be like after this.”

Do the active ingredients need to be ignited to release them? I would think so or else you could just go around chewing pot.

The seed used to be a large part of the mix of packaged birdseed.

It still was and may still be. For a while it was still packaged in mixed birdfood until civvies found out and began planting the seeds. Afterward, manufacturers sterilized the seeds so they wouldn't grow (sterilized is what they said). I guess it worked, but I'm not sure if it is still packaged for the birds these days; I haven't checked.

If you have ever tasted the milk of a cow that has been eating alfalfa, you know that a lot of stuff goes straight into the milk. I wonder if the active ingredients in marijuana will do so?

If you could look back as far as I can, you would know one thing for certain . . . people were a helluva lot easier to get along with back then.

Nope. You can eat it raw, if that's your thing, and still get the high.

Seriously? Wish I would have known that years ago when I couldn't roll to save my life and got tired of holing out coke cans.

Judging by your picture, it looks like it puts a shine on their coats, at least.
