This has got to be the lamest argument against legalizing pot yet.  Utah is considering legalizing edible marijuana for medical use.  Opponents don't want that, saying basically that 'bud's bad for bunnies.

DEA special agent Matt Fairbanks says the risk of stoned rabbits is why pot should remain illegal. Fairbanks is a member of the government's cannabis eradication team. The Georgia branch of this elite unit recently raided a retired old man's garden and seized his okra plants.  Just sayin' ... anyway, according to Fairbanks:

"rabbits that had cultivated a taste for the marijuana. ..." "One of them refused to leave us, and we took all the marijuana around him, but his natural instincts to run were somehow gone."

Did Mr. Rabbit lose his instincts or did he just lose his "inclination".  After all, pot isn't exactly ..  as Robin Williams once said .. "f***ing empowering".  I'm sure he could still run, he just didn't want to.  Had they tossed a chocolate covered carrot out in front of him though, I bet he would have hauled ass!

Maybe they should drug test Fairbanks.  Anyway, long story short, the Utah Senate didn't go for it. They approved the bill and it now goes before the full Senate. Nice try Mr. DEA man but no.
