York police say that an officer's supervisors are looking into comments he made to Catholic high school students last week about men developing breasts from smoking marijuana.
YorkRegion.com reports that the drug recognition officer told students on Friday there are studies that show marijuana lowers your testosterone, and that they call it "doobies make boobies."
Const. Laura Nicolle says they have since received complaints about the "misinformation."
York police have responded to the complaints on their Twitter account.
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.

"We just wanted to get out in front and let our community know that we are aware of this and are looking into it," she says.
Nicolle was not able to say whether the officer was joking or not.
