The post Canadian Police Apologize For Telling Kids ‘Doobies Make Boobies’ appeared first on High Times.
While police officers can be multi-faceted, they’re not typically considered medical experts, especially when it comes to cannabis. Such a notion was exemplified in Aurora, Canada over the weekend, when the York Regional Police Service gave some questionable advice to some Catholic high school students. Their words of wisdom? “Doobies make boobies.”
Do Doobies Make Boobies?
No, they do not. And the York Regional Police Service acknowledged as much on Tuesday when they took to Twitter to apologize for their department’s lack of research.
We’re no health experts, but we’re pretty sure getting high does not cause enhanced mammary growth in men. We are aware of the misinformation about cannabis that was unfortunately provided to the community by our officers. We’re working to address it.

On February 16th, Canadian police attended a drug awareness panel at the York Catholic District School Board headquarters in Aurora, where they answered questions about Canada’s pending legalization of cannabis. According to reports, Nigel Cole, a school resource officer, gave his take on cannabis during the question and answer portion of the session.
“You have peer pressure and drug dealers telling you about the great effects of marijuana, but I’m here to tell you there are some very negative effects,” argued Nigel Cole, the school’s resource officer.
“There are studies that marijuana lowers your testosterone—we call it ‘doobies make boobies.’ We’re finding 60 per cent of 14-year-olds are developing ‘boobies.’”
In addition to his ‘doobies make boobies’ remark, Cole also served up some other questionable cannabis factoids, including its adverse effects on motorists.
