Rats have gotten into the confiscated marijuana at the vermin-infested and decaying New Orleans Police Department headquarters, the city's top cop warned.

"I want you to see the tray of all of the roaches, major rodents on the floor, the cockroaches, the rats eating our marijuana. They're all high," Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told the Criminal Justice Committee on Monday about the evidence room.

The current department headquarters houses substandard facilities with broken air conditioners and elevators. Officers "have nowhere to use a restroom," according to Kirkpatrick.

      It's a little known fact, but some species of rats have a second stomach that works as a furnace, thus making it possible to transform the THCA into THC all within their system. It's like they were made to get high

      i'm also somewhat skeptical of the claim that they can tell when a cockroach is high...
