POT LINKED TO MEN’S ‘MAMMARY GROWTH’, OFFICERS TELL TEENS

-

Police north of Toronto are trying to clear the air after officers reportedly told a group of teens that marijuana use can lead to “enhanced mammary growth in men.” York Regional Police Service spokeswoma­n Const. Laura Nicolle, pictured, says the erroneous informatio­n was included in a presentati­on by officers for high school students last week. Nicolle says the police force was contacted on social media by several people who were at the session, questionin­g the link between cannabis and growth in that area in men. In a tweet Friday afternoon, police say marijuana does not cause “enhanced mammary growth in men,” adding that the force is “working to address” the misinforma­tion by the officers. Nicolle says police are looking into exactly what the officers told the students and where they got that informatio­n.
