What a waste of good weed!


My friend Allan brought this article to my attention. And since I just went to a polish wedding, (and b/c its about a cow) I thought it was blog-worthy. I don't know the correct spelling but i do know that "weed" in Polish is "trava". This is a word that Dominik and I thought was important to learn when he was teaching me key phrases and words back in university. Anyways... here is the article about a Polish lady that was getting her cows high in order to calm their nerves.

Ganja cowWARSAW, (Reuters) - A Polish woman who grew marijuana to calm the nerves of her cow has been charged with cultivating a narcotic by police in the western town of Lobez.

The cow had been "skittish and unruly" -- once breaking a person's arm -- until someone suggested mixing cannabis in with its feed, the woman told police.

"The cow became as calm as a lamb," the 55-year-old woman said, according to the PAP news agency.

The woman's plants, grown from seeds she bought at a market, reached nearly three metres (yards) tall and were extremely potent, police said.

Marijuana (ganja) possession is a crime throughout Poland. The woman faces up to three years in jail if convicted.
