A herd of cows in Russia is facing a high time this winter after a marijuana crop was found in with their normal feed crops.
Drug enforcement officers say they have no other choice but to let the herd feed on the drug crop.
Some 40 tonnes of marijuana had been planted among the sunflowers and maize crops.
"There is simply no other way out," a Federal Drugs Control Service spokeswoman told the Novye Izvestia newspaper.
"You see, the fields are planted with feed crops and if we remove it all the cows will have nothing to eat.
"I don't know what the milk will be like after this."
Russian police have been fighting an increasing number of drug smugglers - often shipping heroin from Afghanistan - for years.
Such large hauls are relatively common, although they are normally burned.
