Fairbanks went on to say that at some illegal marijuana grow sites, he saw “rabbits that had cultivated a taste for the marijuana. … One of them refused to leave us, and we took all the marijuana around him, but his natural instincts to run were somehow gone.

“Some wild animals apparently do develop a taste for bud (and, yes, best to keep it away from your pets),” reporter Christopher Ingraham writes. “But I don’t know that the occasional high rabbit constitutes grounds for keeping marijuana prohibition in place, any more than drunk squirrels are an argument for outlawing alcohol. And let’s not even get started on the nationwide epidemic of catnip abuse.”
Don't they do a lot of the testing of pharmaceuticals on rabbits before they advance to human trials? And given this, what does it say about the potential effects today's "enhanced" THC level marijuana has on us mere mortals? Do we see the same effects in humans who develop a "taste for bud"?
