Science in Action! (Getting Lab Animals Stoned)

WPLG Local 10 News on Twitter: "Police say nearly 1,200 pounds of pot  missing from a warehouse was eaten by mice. https://t.co/lfF4Ch4bwQ  https://t.co/Xq3aRSWf3z" / Twitter

This is it for nooze today. I just can’t stand any more.

According to a watchdog organization, White Coat Waste, the National Institute of Health has fumfered away $246 million getting lab animals high on cannabis and having them “vape” with e-cigarettes (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4056793/posts). NIH broke the law, says White Coat Waste, by not disclosing these expenditures. The NIH has declined to comment.

What happens when you give rats marijuana? If they’re anything like the human stoners I’ve known, they grow boring and pretentious. If they could talk, they’d say things like, “Dude, like, wow, that is heavy, man–ya know?”

That’s almost a quarter of a billion dollars that American taxpayers worked for. What else are they doing, that we don’t know about? Serving tequila to spiders? How am I supposed to ridiculize stuff like this? It ain’t fair to satirists. (“Yeahbut, yeahbut! It makes ’em spin these crazy webs!”)

And it’s abusive to animals who are surely better than the clowns who are experimenting on them.

  1. This leaves me speechless. Not that I feel much like saying anything today anyway, but if I did, I… well…

    1. That’s what I’ve seen too. There was a character I knew over 40 years ago that smoked a lot of marijuana. Years later I ran into him and even as he approached retirement age, he had never accomplished much of anything in his life.
