Rats blamed for eating 500 kilograms of cannabis stored by Indian police

[tobedetermined]

From a story on CTV News . . .

"Rats in northern India have been accused of eating hundreds of kilograms of cannabis seized from drug dealers and stored in police warehouses. "Rats are small animals, and they aren't scared of the police," noted a court in the city of Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, after hearing that local police were unable to furnish almost 200 kilograms of confiscated cannabis that was supposed to be used as evidence in a recent case."

""There was no reference to rats in the (report submitted to the court) ... the police only mentioned that the seized cannabis was destroyed in the rains and flooding," he said.

If the rats are guilty as charged, they might now be taking things easy. A 2016 study by the University of British Columbia found the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana made lab rats lazy. Researchers trained 29 rats to perform an experiment, in which the rodents had to choose between a simple or more difficult task to earn treats. The rats typically chose the harder -- and more rewarding -- task, but after being given marijuana, the same rats picked the easier task."

I wonder why they didn't have any cats? Do cats live in India?

 

[BOMBAYCAT]

That's impressive. There were maybe zillions of rats there or else a few rats got really high.

 

[moses wellfleet]

Had rats and mice causing issues in grow space, nesting and chewing various things. Never seen a rat or mouse eat cannabis ever.

Maybe they just had a little bit a first, and then got the munchies.

they got tigers, but i doubt they eat many rats. i think these "rats" hauled that weed out by the truckload & sold it, corruption being what it is.

had some mice eat on a chunk of hash once. reached into the hidey hole to get it & found the plastic it had been wrapped in, shredded. what was left of the hash had all these little teeth marks all over it.

Mmmmmmm yeah mice eat seeds I remember now and seem to prefer expensive ones.

The reason cats aren't kept as a pet and are lower in number is because a lot of people in India are vegetarians and cats can't exist on a no meat diet ,dogs can live on a vegetarian diet so they keep them as pets. Yes there are species of cats in India though.

Court documents said the police had been asked to provide 386 kilograms of cannabis, but the prosecution flagged to the court that more than 700 kilograms (1,500 pounds) of marijuana stored in various stations across Mathura could be impacted by the rat infestation


THAT'S A LOT A FREAKING RATS LOL...

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

For once I gotta say 'go you rats', see your local sewer rat for your daily stash and swap cheese for cheese.

 

[420PyRoS]

Those cops are smoking/slinging it.
100%

 

[FletchF.Fletch]

It must have been Seeded.

They need a Big-ass Snake to protect the "Evidence".

 

[Brother Nature]

This would nevert have happened if they just paid the Pied Piper...

The local cops in Fairbanks, back when the evidence storage included a locked trailer similar to a smaller connex, alleged a squirrel ate several oz. of cocaine.

Aside from the lack of believability, I guess we can all presume why squirrels seem so.. jittery.. vocal.. nervous.. and quick. No idea if they engage in philosophical debate until 5 A.M., though. That would require more evidence to study.. or snort. Or something..

 

[Brother Nature]

Don’t fuck with squirrels, they have their fingers in all the pies…

 

[troutman]

That will teach the Pigs for trusting rats.

The cops on scene took the 500kg to the police station where the 400kg were stored etc. etc...

This is what happened, not the rats eating the stuff.
