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.

    Ah, so THAT’S why all the weed was gone from the evidence room! Of course.

    Uh doesn’t the weed need to be cooked for it to work as an edible?

      Some of the THCa naturally decarbs as the herb dries. Depends on conditions.

      Possession is 9/10ths of the law.

      I don’t know if this is the case in Louisiana, but voluntarily confiscated property may be taken under a reliquishmentl/surrender contract which provides a receipt of transfer; which means it is property given to the police as a gift(no compensation in exchange). Usually that sort of thing is done with illegal property that is possed by, but not owned by, the person caught with it, like a drug trafficker working for someone else.
