It was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon in New Mexico, USA when two police officers decided to take their lunch break at a Burger King joint. Like usual, they queued up, ordered their favourite burgers then sat down to enjoy a rather distinct-tasting meal…

Distinct, not because the burger’s were flame-grilled or slathered with a secret sauce. No. These particular burgers were distinct because they were wrapped up in shreds of marijuana.

Of course, the cops caught on straight away and the staff involved were arrested and charged.

Meanwhile, the Police are suing Burger King for violation of fair practices as well as battery. They say that had they not noticed the strange taste, consuming the marijuana burgers whilst being on duty could have had serious consequences – For example, they could have misfired their weapons if they had to use them, they could have lost control of the motor vehicle they were to drive and had they been submitted to a routine drug test, they could have been fired from the force.

Burger King is yet to comment on the incident.

ah, maybe it's an ingenious plot by burger king to infuse it's burgers with marijuana to constantly give its customers the munchies! therefore, needing to always go to burger king.
