Apparently, the rats in India have developed a taste for the high life...

Drugs: India police say rats ate 200kg of seized cannabis

Police in India have blamed rats for destroying nearly 200kg of seized cannabis in police stations.

...and naturally, after consuming 200kgs of pot, they need something to wash it down...

Rats 'drink seized alcohol in India's Bihar'

An inquiry is ordered after officers tell senior policeman confiscated alcohol was drunk by rats.

How these police officers can stand in front of a judge explaining these losses whilst keeping a straight face is beyond belief. I'm really struggling to imagine a rat wielding a bottle opener.

Easy...the judge gets his cut too. That's how it works everywhere else in the world...I've no reason to think it's any different in India.

This may surprise you jay but the Indian police force is not the most competent in the world. I’d go so far as to say they’re that crooked, they can’t even lay straight in bed at night!

& the dodgy curries, don’t forget! Lol
Corruption & Delhi Belly….true what they say ‘a policeman’s lot is not a happy one’.

I'm sure the police explained the fact after 199 kg, the rats developed tolerance for the finer things in life leading to next town police station for cocaine raid.

After that they must've been seeing a lot of white mice.

Perhaps it's a new defense mechanism against predators. I know if I were a hawk, I'd be far less inclined to ingest a rodent whacked out of his/her gourd on pot and booze, as it would inevitably be transmitted to me. Much easier to hunt, yes, but the end product just wouldn't live up to my predatory standards. Food chain...it's a fascinating thing.

You must be a southern hawk. I'm sure California hawks will dive at the weed laced rodents.

Something about power corrupts..

Unless the Indian mice have been communicating with their NYC brethren.. those bastards are conniving.

I've known people on the other end of the law that have had mice problems in a grow situation. So not quite as far fetched as it sounds.

And after all that weed they head on over to Popeye's with a serious case of the munchies.

some of the old buildings in Penn State have such entrenched roaches that some basements are like the roach version of this when you turn on the lights. I saw one so big I thought it was going to talk one day. Actually it was so big people were surprised that came back in after seeing it. Walking home once past that building after an all day heavy rain storm (the kind that after 20 seconds you realize you can't get more wet) actually heard a herd of them scuttling across the bike path I was walking on. Also saw them and it was kind of amazing.

That's the stuff nightmares are made of...I have zero tolerance for roaches.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I lived in an apartment for a short time that I discovered had a very serious roach problem. I still have PTSD from the experience.

And I suppose it's only right that the term roach finally came up in this thread.
