Why, oh why, am I from Utah?

[DEA warns of stoned rabbits if Utah passes medical marijuana](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/02/dea-warns-of-stoned-rabbits-if-utah-passes-medical-marijuana/?tid=pm_pop).

Why couldn’t I be from some normal state? Stoned bunnies? Of course, that may be an improvement to many of the current residents, so perhaps we should welcome them.

I predict a new internet meme: videos of stoned bunnies doing cute stoned things like stoned people would do.

Bunnies stoned on marijuana? What, is he afraid they’re going to sit around and eat grass?

I thought this was going to be a post about Easter having been on April 20 last year.

But from what I’ve heard (my only cite being a stoner friend), the THC, the intoxicating chemical in marijuana plants, only works if it’s heated. Hence why weed is smoked or baked into food. So if you (or a rabbit) merely eat a marijuana plant, surely you wouldn’t get high from it?

I’ve conducted experiments on this. Your friend is wrong. Really, really wrong.

_“I deal in facts. I deal in science,”_ said special agent Matt Fairbanks, who’s been working in the state for a decade.  
Sounds like he should fit right in to this place.

So the expression “we fucked liked rabbits” will have to be changed to mean those times when she says “OK just stop, you’re never going to come.”

So that explains why the yard-bunnies are always hopping from patch of grass to patch of grass ---- munchies!

This is the same story, but with a MUCH better headline:

[DEA Agent Warns Utah of Pot-Crazed Rabbits](http://www.newser.com/story/203463/dea-agent-warns-utah-of-pot-crazed-rabbits.html)

It’s why we played trivia last night under the name “Pot-Crazed Rabbits” because who wouldn’t?
