Dangerous Milk
« on: February 20, 2005, 08:54:10 AM »
From BBC:

Farmers in Liechtenstein can no longer feed cannabis to their herds under new rules in the small Alpine state.
Traces of the drug found in hashish have been filtering through to the milk of dairy cows fed with the hemp plant.
The levels breach the maximum limit set by the new rules - which say animal feed must be free of any element that could have an ill effect on humans.
The rules to be introduced in March are to bring Liechtenstein in line with standards in neighbouring Switzerland.
Hemp will also be banned from the diets of meat herds, although reports say there is no clear evidence that THC - the active substance found in hashish - can filter through into meat.
The hemp tree is part of the cannabis species, which includes marijuana plants.

Interesting...

Tho when I saw the topic I thought this would be related to something I read and shared with the crazies on IRC yesterday:

"UK milk is allowed to contain up to 400,000 pus cells per millilitre - the pus comes from sores and other teat infections caused by modern farming practices"

From news in brief on corporatewatch.org.uk

Grim eh?

Nothing wrong with a bit of puss in your milk! That's good for the immune systems.

Why don't they simply grow Industrial Hemp instead of whatever they are growing that has a high THC content?
