A couple of police officers in Los Lunas, New Mexico ate about half of their Whoppers when all of a sudden, they noticed they were feeling pretty… mellow. Removing the bun, they discovered that the patties were peppered with mary jane. Pot. Marijuana to you squares.

Lightweights, the police officers first went to a local hospital to seek medical evaluation. When it turned out that they were actually healthier, they stormed Burger King’s kitchens and arrested three employees of marijuana possession and battery on an officer.

So that’s why Burger King burgers taste so much better than McDonald’s.
