Houston Mayor John Whitmire recently revealed a shocking issue in the city's police evidence room, where a massive backlog has led to a rather unusual problem - rats are getting high on the stored marijuana.
According to Mayor Whitmire, the evidence room currently holds around 400,000 pounds of marijuana, which is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars in street value.
The huge quantity of stored marijuana is a result of a years-long backlog in the city's forensic labs, where analysts are struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of evidence that needs to be processed.
The backlog has become so severe that the marijuana is now being stored for extended periods, giving the rats ample opportunity to get to it and apparently, enjoy it.
Mayor Whitmire expressed his frustration with the situation, stating that the rats are the only ones benefiting from the stored marijuana, while the city is shouldering the costs of storing and securing it.
The situation highlights the need for the city to address its backlog issue and find a more efficient way to process evidence, not just for the sake of the marijuana, but also for the sake of justice and public safety.
The city is currently working on expanding its forensic lab capacity and hiring more analysts to help clear the backlog, but it may take some time before the issue is fully resolved.
In the meantime, the rats in the evidence room will likely continue to enjoy their unlikely bounty, much to the chagrin of Mayor Whitmire and the city's residents.
The incident has sparked a mix of reactions from the public, with some expressing amusement at the situation, while others are concerned about the implications of the backlog on the city's justice system.
As the city works to address the issue, one thing is certain - the rats in the evidence room have become the most unlikely of marijuana connoisseurs, and their love for the stored weed is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
