MARGARET NEIGHBOUR RUSSIA'S long winter will fly by for a herd of cows which is to be fed fodder containing confiscated marijuana over the cold months. Drug workers said they adopted the unusual form of animal husbandry after they were faced with destroying the sunflowers and maize crops that the 40 tonnes of marijuana had been planted among, according to reports in Russia. A Federal Drugs Control Service spokeswoman for the Urals region of Sverdlovsk was uncertain about the effects of feeding the drug to the animals, but insisted that there was no other choice. "There is simply no other way out," she said. "You see, the fields are planted with feed crops and if we remove it all the cows will have nothing to eat." She added: "I don't know what the milk will be like after this." Drug use in Russia took off with the decline of the Soviet Union and police have been fighting drug smugglers - often shipping heroin from Afghanistan - for years. Such large hauls are relatively common, although they are normally burned.
