New Orleans superintendent tells council committee that rodents have infested the building and requests to move headquarters
Cops in New Orleans are on the tail of a brazen gang of narcotics traffickers who broke into the evidence room at police headquarters and pilfered all the pot: a swarm of rodents with a hankering for the high life.
“The rats are eating our marijuana. They’re all high,” Anne Kirkpatrick, superintendent of the city’s police department, told a council committee meeting on Monday.
The chief’s ratting out of the prime suspects was part of her pitch to councilors to fund a move for her officers into new premises in the Big Easy’s downtown, according to Nola.com.
Anyone want to take odds on someone stealing and smoking it, then blaming rats as an excuse for why it’s gone?
Are they really surprised that a police department is full of rats?
I like their little uniforms.
I don’t want to be a downer, but… The rats probably aren’t high if they’re just eating weed. Buckle up, y’all, time for a stoner science lesson:
THC is present in cannabis in two main forms: THCA and Delta-9 THC. Throwing around those delta numbers can seem scary given all of the unregulated Delta-8 in illegal states, but it’s really not. THCA breaks down into Delta-9 THC naturally with time and heat, through a process called decarboxylization… Which is great, because THCA isn’t psychoactive, while Delta-9 THC is. Because of this, smoking a joint or eating a properly made edible will get you high, but eating an entire ounce is just having a terrible salad.
The psychoactive THC is activated by heat so unless the rats brought little lighters, they are just eating stinky salad. Other forms, such as edibles etc. would work, but I feel bad for a little rodent starting out on 10mg. That’s going to be a bad day.
