Can you get high off your dairy products?
Do you think your beef and dairy products have chemicals in them? Well recent news has surfaced about the banning of cows being fed cannabis in Switzerland and neighboring Liechtenstein.
Some farmers claim the plant makes it cheap to feed the cows and that the THC (a crystalline compound that is the main active ingredient of cannabis) in it relaxes the cows and makes them produce more milk. However, the Agricultural Ministry for Switzerland banned such practices back in March of 2005 after traces of THC were found in dairy products that came from cows that were fed hemp.
The ministry has now warned farmers that if the practice is continued, they will be prosecuted.
It is unconfirmed whether or not any beef products have been found to have traces of THC, but if cows that are fed other chemicals are found contaminating the meat, then why wouldn’t the cannabis contaminate it too?
