They were displaying the typical symptoms of being stoned: red eyes, wobbly gaits, and drowsy demeanors. But these weren’t people who had just frequented their local dispensary—they were cows.
In a new study, scientists report cattle that have eaten feed containing varying amounts of hemp seemed to get stoned like people do. The work may give regulators pause when considering whether the affordable, fast-growing crop is safe for livestock to eat. It also raises concerns about whether the active ingredient in marijuana can enter the human food supply through the milk of blazed bovines.
The behavioral effects documented in the new study are noteworthy, says Serkan Ates, an agronomist at Oregon State University, Corvallis, who has studied hemp consumption in cows, lambs, and chickens. “They found a much more profound effect on the animal’s behavior than what we’ve seen in any of our dairy-feeding studies.”
Well, I suppose I'm not too surprised by this - but now, I'm curious as to what one of these "high cows" would look like .
Apparently, it's not yet clear what would happen to a human who drank milk from one of these cows - but I wouldn't try it, just to be on the safe side!
