A Polish woman who grew hemp to calm the nerves of her cow has been charged with cultivating a narcotic by police in the western town of Lobez.
The cow had been "skittish and unruly" - once breaking a person's arm - - until someone suggested mixing cannabis in with its feed, the woman told police.
"The cow became as calm as a lamb," the 55-year-old woman said, according to the PAP news agency.
The woman's plants, grown from seeds she bought at a market, reached nearly 3m tall and were extremely potent, police said.
Marijuana possession is a crime throughout Poland. The woman faces up to three years in jail if convicted.
There might be a legitimate concern that the cow's milk may be tainted.
ReplyDeleteIf not, what's the harm?
Fortified ! Not tainted. After kids are weaned they might do well drinking milk from this cow as to lessen the over consumption of methylphenidate (Ritalin) for ADD.
ReplyDeleteOur society goes crazy with the legal use of dangerous synthetic drugs...while they bust use of natural remedy.
ReplyDeleteTrue Denny, but then, that would make sense.
