Feeding chickens weed might make it not only healthier but also tastier

Jul 13 2022

A study in Thailand has shown how feeding chickens marijuana instead of the usual antibiotics can not only result into healthier chickens but also make them tastier and more tender.

Researchers from Chiang Mai University’s Department of Animal and Aquatic Sciences started studying the mind blowing prospect once they learned that a weed farm in northern Thailand was feeding their free-range chickens cannabis instead of anti-biotics.

Chompunut Lumsangkul, a professor who is currently leading the study, told Business Insider that the unusual feed seems to be working well. She also went on to explain that the birds’ special food is produced by adding crushed cannabis to their feed and water and that no antibiotics and medicines are fed to or used on the chickens during this time.

Producing healthier and tastier chickens haven’t been the only positives to come out of this experiment, as the farm has been able to sell their chickens for higher prices to buyers searching for organic products. The Thai government has only legalized the sale of cannabis products earlier this month but has limited the amount of THC, the ingredient used to get someone high, in the items to 0.2%.

The product is being referred to as GanjaChicken and it has been confirmed that one cannot get high whilst consuming it. This is because the THC used is metabolized in the chickens body before it is slaughtered, so there will be no traces of THC left for your body to digest.

Theft in Malta drops to lowest levels in the past 25 years

Jul 12 2022

Through a video celebrating Police Day, Police Commissioner Angelo Gafa revealed that theft in Malta has been reduced to the lowest levels in the past 25 years.

Also celebrating 208 years since the Police Corps were founded, the commissioner highlighted some of the important works the island’s police force engaged in.

He emphasised how, due to gaining immense trust with the Maltese public, the corp was able to reduce theft crimes to such levels as well as provide services for victims of domestic abuse.

Gafa also spoke about how the corps managed both the March general election and the visit by Pope Francis all in the span of a few weeks. Gafa said that this was all thanks to a transformative strategy which ensures the wellbeing of the officers in the corp.

The police officers are being trained mentally and physically to take on split-second decisions with professionalism, as these can mean life or death for many in or out of the police force.

He also stated how the police corp were instrumental in getting Malta off the FATF grey-list through investigations and rigorous work. Saying that he is full of courage and excitement for the future, Gafa thanked all those who work on the force and everyone who hands them their support.
