A group of sheep were recently discovered displaying odd behavior after having devoured a crop of weed. It turns out that the flock had been facing extreme weather conditions in Greece, making it difficult for them to find sustenance. Due to wildfires, heatwaves, and flooding, the sheep's usual grazing areas had been destroyed near Thessaly. In their desperate search for food, the flock stumbled upon a greenhouse that cultivates medicinal cannabis.
According to the owner, who spoke to local news outlet TheNewspaper.gr, the flock had already been struggling to survive after the extreme weather had damaged their usual food sources. Once inside the greenhouse, the sheep simply finished off what was left of the crop. The owner expressed mixed emotions, saying, "I don't know whether to laugh or cry. We've lost a lot of production due to the heatwave and floods, and now this." Approximately 100kg of the crop was destroyed, leaving the sheep feeling light-headed.
The shepherd of the flock also noticed a change in their behavior after they returned from their escapade. He described them as jumping higher than goats, something that had never happened before. This incident brings to mind a similar situation that occurred in India in 2022, where almost 200kg of weed disappeared from a police station. The officers claimed that rats had eaten the drugs while they were in storage, leaving them with no evidence for a court case.
The judge presiding over the case, Sanjay Chaudhary, expressed disbelief, stating, "Rats are tiny animals and have no fear of the police. It's difficult to protect the drugs from them." It is worth noting that while the recreational use of weed is illegal in India, its extract, bhang, is legal and has cultural significance in Hindu practices. It seems that in both cases, animals were driven to consume cannabis due to unusual circumstances. Whether it was for survival or simply a case of curious exploration, it's safe to say that these incidents have left both humans and animals scratching their heads.
