Only one of these weed facts is fake. Can you spot it before the THC milk kicks in?

 

Fact or Fake: Can You Outsmart the Edibles? (Spoiler: Probably Not)

Alright, listen up, brain cells—it’s Tuesday, and that means it’s time to challenge your foggy frontal lobe with some good ol’ Fact or Fake. We’ve got four wild marijuana “facts”, and only one is a full-blown edible hallucination. The rest? Surprisingly real.

So spark up, snack up, and let’s see how many of these your beautiful stoner brain can actually believe.

1. Bhutan’s Pigs Are Out Here Munchin’ Wild Weed Like It’s Arugula

No cap, this is real. In Bhutan, cannabis grows so wild and so thick that pigs literally just roam the fields and eat it like it’s salad at a Vegas buffet. And guess what? The farmers don’t even care—they lowkey love it.

Why? Because these pigs go full zen mode. No rooting, no squealing, no starting fights with the chickens. Just big chill pig vibes and possibly the world’s first animal-based “weed detox retreat.” If Charlotte’s Web had been written in Bhutan, that spider would’ve been selling dabs.

2. Microwaving Weed Gummies Makes Them Stronger? Sounds Smart… But Nah.

Let’s get something straight—this one’s fake. And no, you’re not a stoner scientist just because you own a microwave and once saw a TikTok that said “heat activates THC.” Nice try though.

There’s no real evidence that nuking your edibles for 11 to 15 seconds does anything besides melt them into a sticky mess. And while the myth claims it “activates residual cannabinoids,” what it really activates is a trail of melted gummy slime and disappointment. So unless you’re trying to make THC soup, maybe skip the microwave science.

(Also, don’t ask what happens if you go to 16 seconds… unless you’re cool with a sentient gummy worm claiming squatters’ rights in your fridge.)

3. Cows That Eat Hemp Can Produce THC Milk. Yes, We’re Dead Serious.4

Germany actually ran a study on this, and yup—moo juice got mood juice.

Researchers fed dairy cows hemp-rich feed and found small amounts of THC in their milk, along with some weird cow behavior. We’re talking sleepy, relaxed cows who didn’t care about much—like full-on pasture couch-lock. Imagine pouring a bowl of cereal and halfway through, you’re like, “Did I just get high off this 2%?”

It’s not hitting grocery shelves anytime soon, but somewhere out there is a cow that thinks The Big Lebowski is a documentary.

4. Canada Almost Accidentally Legalized Weed Because of a Typo

You thought your high school spelling errors were bad? Try this one on for size.

In 2003, thanks to a legal loophole in Ontario, simple weed possession charges were basically unenforceable for a hot minute. Someone forgot to close a legislative gap, and suddenly stoners were getting arrested… and then released… and then lighting up again outside the courthouse.

It wasn’t full legalization, but for a glorious stretch of time, Canadian weed laws were basically “we’ll allow it.” Shoutout to whatever overworked legal intern forgot to proofread.

So… Which One Was Fake?

If you guessed #2—the microwaved gummy myth—you win the gold star and a celebratory dab (legal jurisdiction permitting). The rest? 100% real. Wild, huh?

Stay tuned for more Fact or Fake next week, where we’ll find out if Elon Musk really tried to launch a THC-powered Tesla (spoiler: maybe).
