MELLOW COWS GAVE MORE MILK

I always chuckle when I hear the debate over legalizing marijuana 
erupt. I'm in my 70s, and I remember my grandfather telling me that 
when he was a young farmer, marijuana grew wild in his fields. He and 
his neighbour would cut down this "weed" to allow more room for 
crops. Nobody even thought about smoking it.

Never wanting to waste anything, he and the others mixed the 
marijuana into the regular cattle feed as a supplement. They soon 
noticed the dairy cows were giving significantly more milk.

I guess that's what you would call "contented" cows.
