A study led by University of California Davis researchers and released Thursday found that two owl species—the northern spotted owl and barred owl—are being exposed to high levels of rat poison from illegal marijuana grows in northern California

Yet another argument for legalization.

This was the reason for the tree sitters when Cal renovated their stadium.

Can you respond in a way that will make sense to a non-pothead?

Can you ask a question that isn't one that a pot-head would ask?

He's connecting the dots.


Since the article said "being exposed to" and not "dying from" I'd say no harm, no foul.

Link has no data about illegal grows usage of rat poison because no one officially inspects illegal grows.

Link does not offer explanation why rat poison would be used at all.

One piece is clear. If you eat a dead rat there's a chance you ingest rat poison.

The poison is put out to stop the rats, it’s a second generation introduction where the predators who eat the rats are exposed to the poison. So unless potheads are eating rats it’s a dumb thread. And the rest of you are dumbasses.

The writer of the article is also a dumbass for not illustrating how the owls are exposed.

Are you so high that it took you a while to figure out that birds eat rats that ate rat poison? Marijuana really does make you stupid

All kinds of animals like pot. Bird Seed/Feed contains cannabis seeds (they have to be irradiated so as not to germinate if scattered). When the Marijuana Tax Act was being debated in Congress(1932), someone proclaimed that birds would not sing w/out pot.

The seed is one of the best foods nutritionally comparing head-to-head with soybean. Pot seed has the advantage in that it's in the form of easily digestible edestin.

I thought it was clear.

Man grows pot for potheds
Rat eats pot
Man growing pot for potheads doesn't appreciate that
Man puts out rat poison
Rat eats poison
Owl eats rat that ate rat poison
Tree huggers mad (understandably in this instance)
