The DEA only have the best interests of our nation's bunnies in mind when they warn against a bill that will allow medical marijuana in Utah, says the Washington Post. In a testimony to the Utah state senate, special agent Matt Fairbanks worries wildlife may start snacking on the weed crops and getting them way too blazed. Fairbanks claims to have already come across clandestine grow operations where a few local bunny rabbits showed signs of being stoned. It's sweet of Agent Fairbanks to worry about the Utah hare population, but after the brutal violence of Watership Down, a few slow and stoned rabbits might be a welcome change.
