An Illinois county official reportedly told a local paper that if the state legalizes marijuana, it may lead to the euthanasia of K-9s trained at seeking out the drug.

“The biggest thing for law enforcement is, you're going to have to replace all of your dogs,” Macon County Sheriff Howard Buffett told the paper. “So to me, it’s a giant step forward for drug dealers, and it’s a giant step backwards for law enforcement and the residents of the community."

Buffett told the paper that law enforcement would likely have to replace all of its dogs.

How dare you, sir? This is a sad, trash-ass move by sad, trash ass people. “Oh what do those drug hippie, devil worshiping queers love more than weed? Dogs! What do they hate more than God? Dead dogs!” What a pathetic attempt at psychological manipulation by old Sheriff Hyperbole over here. Does he really think this is going to work? Does he really think anybody is going to believe him? This is exactly like when a child misbehaves over and over again, and eventually his parents say, “Hey, if you miss curfew one more time, we’re going to kill Rex.” Well let me tell you, that never works.

The people are going to get high, and they’re going to get their dogs high too. This is the last blown desperation hail mary of a dying breed of scared old guys- even John Boehner loves weed now, because weed is hypothetically tight. Also, side bar: do we really need weed sniffing dogs? Not an especially hard drug to smell. I could be a weed sniffing dog. I know what weed smells like: I’ve never seen it, or smoked it, or been in a room with it, or bought it, but I’ve smelled it. I know what weed smells like.

All of this being said, if there’s a shred of truth to this than ban weed and save the dogs. I’m no United Airlines, I don’t want any dog blood on my hands. Now the German Shepherd breed has not been especially kind to my people, but I’m willing to let bygones be bygones and put their wellbeing over the legalization of the devil’s lettuce any day. One dog death for a legal piece of weed chocolate is too much. You let the dogs live long and prosper, and the rabble will continue the difficult struggle to not obtain weed legally.

P.S. Have you guys seen that show High Maintenance? It’s like that other show Breaking Bad but way chiller.

P.P.S. Don’t forget. John Boehner loves weed, pass it on.
