Three fast-food restaurant workers were taken into custody Sunday evening after two police officers discovered that the hamburgers they had ordered had been sprinkled with marijuana.
The Isleta Police Department officers had eaten about half of their burgers from a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas before realizing that something was wrong. Opening the burgers, they discovered marijuana sprinkled on top of the meat.
One of the officers, when he was eating his hamburger, he said, “This thing tastes like it has marijuana in it,” said Lieutenant Joseph Sanchez of the Los Lunas Police Department. And that’s when he opened it up to see what was inside.
The officers used a field test kit, which confirmed that the green, leafy substance was pot.
Officials say that the officers began acting odd after ingesting the marijuana and their sergeant sent them to a hospital for a medical evaluation.
What is there to say? Could they have picked a better target for their practical joke?
Of all the things they could have put on the burger, you can hardly complain about a bit of weed.
I was under the impression that in order to injest the THC oil you had to burn it ie smoke it.
Your impression is incorrect, #2. Eating it works just fine.
uuummm, or so I’m told.
My question is how do fine upstanding members of the law enforcement community know what pot tastes like? Shouldn’t they be as virginal in matters of drugs as a newborn, non-crack addicted baby?
And yes, eating pot is a super fantastic way to get a nice body buzz without losing your train of thought…
At what point do acts like this go from practical jokes to crimes? I’m not against eating or smoking pot. What I am consistantly pissed about is how our youth seems to mis-treat society and the workplace like its a playground 24/7. Vandalism, in some cases, can be an indicator of human characteristics far worse then say murder.
Killing someone in the heat of passion is more understandable to me then an 18 year old that destroys public artwork “for the fun of it”. Most likely the murderer won’t kill again, but that teen will be in trouble all his life.
All I could think was “somebody’s got too much weed”.
Thats wacky!
Officials say that the officers began acting odd after ingesting the marijuana and their sergeant sent them to a hospital for a medical evaluation.
An evaluation that surely would conclude that they have a little buzz on. Take two twinkies, or three, or a whole box, and some pancakes, and pop rocks, and a ham, and call me in the morning.
Sometimes cops can be pretty damn dumb. I don’t care how minor the cost, you just know some tax dollars were spent so that Dr. Bracket could tell Officers Reed and Malloy what every 14 year old heavy metal fan in the nation already knew.
(Points awarded if you get the references)
It was done for medical reasons. To help relieve the cops’ constipation problems.
BTW, pot leaf has very little taste. I doubt the cops tasted it first.
Dammit, #4, you beat me to it.

My sister used to work in a burger joint as a teenager. She took me back to the kitchen where the teenage cook showed me hamburger patty juggling. Needless, to say, he wasn’t very good at it, nor good at entertaining a suggestable kid. After using the spatula to pick up the greasy patty from the greasier floor he layed on a bun, rang the bell and yelled, “order ready”. Then he and the others laughed hysterically.
Low consciousness. That’s where the world is today.
That is what I call “Special Sauce”
How does this officer know what marijuana tastes like??
I am not a fan of marijuana, but above all disapprove of oral ingestion. Do not eat marijuana. Parts of the plant has “grippers” — little hooks built-in. hese little hooks hook into your intestines and cause cramps minimally. Eat some and see how your stomach feels in a few hours. Cooking the weed minimizes this, thus the need to make brownies or some other vehicle for oral ingestion. And there is no way that anyone could feel anything from some sprinkled on a burger. This is BS. I’d guess the burger tasted crummy.taste of plant material similar to lawn clippings.

Grippers? Got any photos of these? I’ve never heard of marijuana grippers.
lol Maybe it wasn’t marijuana that you were eating that made you feel sick. Possibly oregano grippers? : )
I have heard of pot stickers ..
couldb’t get a better target—? Why do tou hate cops, Dvioak? –Curt
Back in the good old 70s my roommate made Alice brownies and didn’t tell anyone, or maybe just forgot to. The other roommate and I got into them not realizing how special they were (at least until after the first or second one), and ate several. The downside is that it takes way too long for the effects to wear off. It’s not a buzz, it’s more like a half nap with cotton in your ears and a plastic paint bucket over your head that lasts for 2 days. And at least in brownies, there’s no taste just a slightly gritty texture.
#16, Curt, everybody hates cops because they don’t protect under the law, they attack with the law. If you don’t understand the difference, then you probably are living under a rock, and don’t know nothing about enjoying life.
17,
You had a few too many brownies. With a smaller dose, you get a nice comfortably numb feeling throughout, and your brain is still good.
Now, as for a personal preference… pot is best smoked, and best smoked in a bong and with good friends in a nice comfortable atmosphere… For drug to ingest, you can’t beat shrooms.
Ah contrar , Devorik, I worked with cops for 23 years and found them to be very fair. They do react to hatred with hatred as we all do. You liberals try to live a life of complete self indulgence and when you get caught you’re outraged. Democracy does not mean the hell with you, I’ll do what pleases ME. Get off the hedonism.
#16 – Where’s your sense of irony? Do you need some help finding it?
Curt,
Relax dude. Smoke a dooby. Your cop budies probably have some of the best stuff too. I’ve been witness to them taking some evidence and not showing up in court. And it was GREAT stuff.

First, Dvorak isn’t a hard name to spell. Next, Dvorak never said anything about hating cops. Anyone who hates cops is an idiot. I say this as a liberal.
But you said, “You liberals try to live a life of complete self indulgence and when you get caught you’re outraged. Democracy does not mean the hell with you, I’ll do what pleases ME. Get off the hedonism.”
I can only reply, what the hell are you talking about? Dvorak didn’t post this. He does not advocate marijuana use. He isn’t a champion of hedonism. And liberal is not the same as hedonistic amoral drug hound.
And what is “hedonistic” about smoking a joint? Sure, its illegal, but so is jaywalking and that isn’t hedonistic. Never mind that it should not be illegal in the first place, it’s generally a pretty tame activity.
Hedonistic would be when you go to a party where a 250 pound woman is willingly hogtied, laid on a plastic sheet, covered in honey, and gang fucked by you and your friends while your wives cheers you on. I don’t know if that’s exciting, I’ve never done it. I’ll have to ask 0113addiv how much fun that really is… but at any rate, that’s hedonistic.
Come to think of it, hedonistic might also be when a 50 year old man sends “come fuck me” notes to a 16 year old boy… and who did that? Oh yea… decidedly NOT liberal Mark Foley, disgraced former Republican Representative from Florida. (yep… more than a week old and I am still enjoying how that sounds)
If anyone has tried hemp beer (Humboldt Brewery makes a decent *legal* version) or smelled hemp/marijuana burning, it is easily recognizable.
Putting any sort of mind altering substance, even alcohol, into a person’s food without their knowledge or consent is assault.

OK, I can’t type, but you don’t seem to be able to read see #18. Dvorak
(I think I hit all the keys right, and it is an odd name,) Dvorak constantly bemoans conservative thoughts and anything involving law enforcement. Sure you have bad cops as you have bad politicals but that’s no reason to tar the whole group. I read Dvorak’s comment as a slam against cops and joy that they got hurt.
Curt,
The cop’s didn’t get hurt. They MIGHT have gotten high. Different things entirely.
“it is an odd name” — what a dolt! You must live in WASP heaven, my man. And listen to “Stars and stripes forever” — instead of the “New World Symphony”.
There are good cops, bad cops — and most cops, filing into the gig in lockstep looking for a secure civil service gig. I worked with one guy who joined the local force — “because it’s the best place to cop free drugs.”
#24 – Your point is well taken. While I think (know, actually) that pot is harmless, I agree that it is criminal to administer any sort of drug to an unknowing person. That needs to be punished hard. In the discussion about pot in general, that point was lost.
#25 – Mr. Dvorak made one comment in this thread. Post #14 is his contribution to this thread. Eideard is the original poster, not Dvorak. Where is the anti-cop statement in post 14?
Also, being aware of the overwhelming number of wrongful shooting deaths by cops across the US, not to mention non-fatal acts of corruption, it is easy to paint law enforcement with a wide brush. Not totally fair, but you know, in any community, corruption is everyone’s responsibility. And there is certainly a degree to which cops see a very skewed version of reality. I call it Cop-O-Vision. I know this because I am from a police family.
John has pointed out boneheaded cops… but nothing he has written points to a disrespect for cops overall.
Number 18 you point to was written by 0113addiv who is (probably) a delusional schizophrenic with severe emotional problems relating to women, not world class journalist John C. Dvorak – which is a really common name (in Eastern Europe and among keyboard enthusiasts)
