BATON ROUGE, LA – Researchers at LSU released a new study Tuesday concluding that thousands of Baton Rouge residents have dramatically reduced their marijuana expenses simply by driving through the Sherwood Forest corridor with their windows down during peak traffic hours.
The 18-month study reportedly focused on drivers traveling between Old Hammond and Coursey Blvd between 4:30 and 7:00 p.m., where researchers described the air quality as “incredibly skunky.”
According to the report, the average participant experienced “light relaxation, reduced road rage, and an immediate desire for tacos” after sitting through just two red lights.
“We originally thought residents were exaggerating,” said a lead researcher. “But after fifteen minutes in traffic, our entire research team forgot where we were going, tried picking up a couple of ozympically challenged females, and ordered $73 worth of crunch wrap supremes at Taco Bell.”
The study, which was partially sponsored by Taco Bell, estimates some Baton Rouge drivers are saving nearly $200 per month by relying entirely on what researchers described as “ambient community contributions.”
Researchers confirmed the strongest effects occur when drivers accidentally leave the air conditioning on fresh-air mode.
