Pot Burgers Piss Off Cops
Wouldn’t it be pretty obvious if your Burger King Whopper had pot on it? I would think pot would add a distinctive taste. Two on duty Police officers in New Mexico would disagree:
Two police officers sued Burger King Corp., claiming they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.
The lawsuit says Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police, were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they bought meals at the drive-through lane October 8 of a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico.
The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat, the lawsuit said. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.
"It gives a whole new meaning to the word ‘Whopper,"’ the officers’ attorney, Sam Bregman, said Monday.
"The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."
Three Burger King employees were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony. They later were indicted.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Bernalillo County, alleges personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices. It seeks unspecified damages along with legal costs.
Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation.
Somehow the idea of drugging your local police force seems like a really DUMB idea to me. Aren’t they supposed to be alert so they can protect us?

Hahahahahaha—the fact that these officers went to the hospital to be evaluated shows how truly dumb they are. Eating a small amount of pot does not get you high. It needs to be broken down before eaten. Obviously their fear of marijuana is a product of brainwashing and irrational fear. I am sure the people at the hospital were cracking up when those too monkeys walked in to be evaluated for accidental marijuana ingestion.
The dudes that put the weed in the meat are also dumb. Why waste it on some dumb ass cops. Instead of smoking a joint after work, they are now in jail. Hahahahaha.
