That's according to testimony presented to a Utah Senate panel (time stamp 58:00) last week by an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

"I deal in facts. I deal in science," said special agent Matt Fairbanks, who's been working in the state for a decade. He is member of the "marijuana eradication" team in Utah.

“There WAS, however, a small-town tempest in a teapot in my hometown when it was discovered growing (wild) in the field behind the police station. :-)”

A couple of young degenerates that shall remain nameless managed to put “Liberate Marijuana” bumper stickers on three of the local police cars one night. It took several days before the cops noticed.

At least that beef is not eating WILD ONIONS! To eat beef fed wild onions you have to take a big bite of raw onion to kill the taste!

Wonder what you will need to kill the taste of MJ in the meat?

Are you kidding? He will be getting a raise and 9 coworkers. Why do yout think he’s sitting there basically endorsing legalization. He knows it will add levelike after level of government.

This is the biggest ‘foot shot’ since the DEA agent shot himself with a Glock in front of a high school class.

Lots of over-hopped hipster swill beer? Ew...
I've read they make cannabutter by simmering an o-z or 2 of raw weed and butter together for a couple hours, strain, cool and use it, so it must not be too nasty.

"I deal in facts. I deal in science,"
