"rats", "eating".

just asked the "smoked" pig.

The eating part could be true, but I think they got the wrong species of mammal. It's more of a porcine variety.

"our"

Welp, I guess they gotta let a lot of people go due to a lack of evidence. :P

Will you arrested him with the big bag of drugs but the rats ate it all, *winks, oh dear.

Of course they are - it’s very difficult for a rat to use a lighter.

How did they decarboxylate it though?

New Orleans police need to store their marijuana somewhat other than the evidence room. That's going to get confusing.

They probably have never heard of steel boxes?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Hard to steal weed out of steel boxes and then blame it on the rats.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That's exactly the idea.

Damn rodents smoke my weed too!

Maybe if your cannabis didn't taste so good, the rats wouldn't be eating it.

3/4 of the way through the headline I was like, that isn't good, then that's funny finishing it..

What's the likelihood that those rats are whiye lab rats and very friendly to people?
