    Real story: I had a bad pest bug infestation in my garden, so I grew tobacco as a bug break (Yeah, I made some cigars too). Wasn't long before I started seeing lots of tiny holes in the tobacco leaves, and a coroner's van full of dead grasshoppers. A few months later I started seeing bigger grasshoppers getting lethargic near dime size holes. Not dead. just faded. They'd sway back and forth and barely pay attention to me. New meaning to grass-hopper. About a month later, I found birds and squirrels on my fence that were swaying back and forth and barely paying attention to me. One squirrel chittered at me in a way I swear it said "Duuuude". On the plus side my corn and peppers were being completely left alone while the grasshoppers were self deleting or fading off the tobacco, and the squirrels and birds were getting hopped up on hopped up hoppers, while I was rolling my own product.

    Fun fact: Catnip is in the same family of plant as peppermint. We had a cat once who had no effect from cat nip but if you walked in with a peppermint or mint gum, he would go out of his way to find it and elevate himself. One day, my mom was trying to defunk our house and put on a pot of water with peppermint oil and the cat had the zoomies like a toddler downing a 50pck of jumbo pixie stix.

    Amusingly, catnip also has an effect on dogs. It just makes them calm down and chill out instead of acting high. I found this out a couple years ago when I accidentally adopted a dog who was a lot higher energy, a lot younger, and a lot more anxious than the rescue originally believed. Catnip helped get us through the early days and she’s amazing now.

    A good friend of mine invited us over for a Christmas party to his rather large home by a hammock area in Florida, and his deck looked out over some beautiful scenery past his driveway. As we were all drinking happy on the deck, we saw about 15 raccoons walk up like they owned the place, and sit down by the trash cans by a lot of dog bowls. They also were drinking happy by the deck. As it turns out, raccoons are pretty happy drunks, who like to prank each other. It was adorable. He started putting the last bits left in wine bottles, and the beer cans with a few drops left out for the raccoons, when he noticed they stopped getting into his trash cans once they dragged out all the alcohol. Sure enough, there they were, as drunk as we were, leaving his trash alone.

      Honestly, of all the animals to do it, an opposum getting completely couchlocked (lawnlocked in this case I guess) makes perfect sense.
      My dog straight up stuck her snout and mouth in my mouth while I was talking to her to steal a piece of an edible that was stuck on my back molars, and about an hour later I look over at her and she's half sat up staring at me then the ceiling with crazy eyes. I kinda got concerned, cause I was completely blasted, and asked her what was wrong just to be met with the quietest husky whisper possible, then she just spaced out for a second moving her mouth without making a sound and wagging her tail like crazy before flopping over for belly rubs.

    Biologist with a BSc here. One of my pitches for a master's program involved using catnip as a lure to get fur samples from bobcats and lynx for genetic testing. Its a good way to make sure you get just cats and not things like bears or coyotes with food lures, and don't have to rely on hunting, accidental deaths, or dumb luck to get samples. Plus you get that good feeling of making some cats evening into a great evening. It's also not just cat mint but a few different plants that give them that feline funny feeling.

    During a party, our family dog (who was a puppy at tthe time) got drunk by lapping up a puddle of spilt beer my parents thought they cleaned up in time. It was very clear this wasn't the case as she started stumbling. When the alcohol really set in she just layed in the middle of the floor until she conked out. The morning after she was hungover and needed some peanut butter with advil in it. After that, she wouldn't go near cans or bottles with the only exception being empty water bottles, which she liked to chew the caps off of, she even taught our second dog to leave cans and bottles alone.

    I always wondered about kittens and catnip since I've owned cats my whole life. I noticed an array of reactions in the adults, where as the kittens never seemed to care about the catnip, they just liked playing with the toys containing it. Of the cats that I've had surprisingly only one was totally indifferent to catnip as an adult though. Half of them would huff it for a little bit and start bouncing off the walls like they were on crack, and the other half of them licked it until there was a puddle of drool to pass out in.

It was a very long 30 minute show we will NEVER forget. He wasn't rabid, just zonked out of his mind. We were in such awe staring and laughing out of the kitchen window, we forgot to film it. The deer who visit the same apple tree just sway and have issues balancing as we've all seen in many clips. Squirrela, however, was on a whole other level. Pretty sure he was also hallucinating. He was fine the next day.

It did affect its ability to make a web but affected it least out of all of the drugs tested.

    The funniest thing is that when I took a holiday around Barbados the cruise liner visited St. Kitts for a few days and depending on where you go there are locals who will tell you not to leave your alcohol unattended because the monkeys WILL steal it. Some hotels and resorts have signs posted to let tourists know. Even seen a few groups of monkeys at the resort I was in hang around in nearby trees waiting for the right time to run off with martinis, pina coladas, beer, wine, all sorts of hard liquor, you name it. Another thing that you see in Mexico and around the Caribbean are sugar traps for insects. People will fill glasses and bins full of sugar and it attracts insects, who I assume either get stuck in the mixture, drown, or get drunk on it to the point they can't escape.

    The iconic, majestic forest dweller Alces alces is known as a moose in North America (actually the sub-species Alces alces americana) and an elk in Europe. The word elk, like the Swedish word älg (pronounced /elj/), is taken from the Latin alces while in North America elk is used for an entirely different animal - a kind of deer, Cervus elaphus, otherwise known as a Wapiti.

One particular episode dealt with animals getting high and included that same bit about bees, though they added how affected bees "literally ended up legless", as well as including that same said millipede bit, but it opened up with a bunch of cats off their teets on catnip and it was hilarious! Some were jus rolling around, others were meowing loudly, some were even chasing imaginery mice! But a mate of mine has cats and he likes to give them catnip! One that went missing upon imbying it would stare off into the distance, jus stare off, wide eyed and everything, another, which he still has will roll around in it and I can't remember what they said the other one does...

    I worked at a small farm once where the pigs were allowed to roam the orchard. In fall they regularly sought out fallen and half-rotten apples to get drunk and lie in the sun half asleep all day.
    It was really funny to watch and just made them even more relatable lol

    Dogs are also mildly affected by catnip, though it works more as a sedative and stomach soother in their case due to it's relation to mint. (Possibly why cats also like it when you have minty fresh breath.)

      @@mndiaye_97 Like your videos but whats with the misinfo about dolphins? This is from 2013
      "It sounds too awesome to be true-which means it probably is.
      I’m not convinced. Dolphins are curious and intelligent, so I have no doubt that they would investigate a strange animal like a puffer. They might see what happens, explore the texture, taste, or smell of this novel creature in their midst, as they do in this video:
      But do they intentionally harass them to get high? I doubt it. I guess it’s possible-but if they do, they’re playing a very deadly game, and one that I doubt is much fun for anyone involved.
      When harassed, pufferfish first are true to their names and enlarge their bodies to make themselves less palatable. But if that’s not enough, they have the ability to secrete tetrodotoxin (TTX) to ward off potential predators.
      The argument being made by The Sunday Times (and the filmmakers, it seems) is that dolphins are intentionally using TTX to get “high”. I just don’t buy it. A curious bunch accidentally indulging in a little puffer poison? Sure. But I’m to believe that dolphins are using tetrodotoxin regularly to get baked? Or even worse, include these toxic treats as a part of their “diet“? No way. Not even dolphins are crazy enough to take that risk.
      Tetrodotoxin simply doesn’t make sense as a drug (and let’s be honest-if it did, humans would be snorting it off bathroom counters already). In very, very, very low doses, tetrodotoxin causes numbness, tingling, and the slight lightheadedness that fugu, the Japanese preparation of raw pufferfish flesh, is known for. I guess it’s possible to see how one might relate these mild effects to the “high” feeling that comes from THC, the main ingredient in marijuana*, but it’s a stretch to say the least. Every illicit drug has one thing in common: they alter minds. It’s right there in the definition of narcotic. Tetrodotoxin, however, doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier; it doesn’t change perception or enhance sensation. People get poisoned with TTX every year, and there’s a reason you don’t hear anyone describing the experience as a ‘high’: that’s not how tetrodotoxin works.
      Tetrodotoxin is a potent neurotoxin that shuts down sodium channels, silencing neural activity. In low doses, it numbs. In slightly higher ones, it paralyzes. In between it slows heart rate, plummets blood pressure, and causes respiratory distress. It’s a poison, not a party drug. There is nothing fun about it.
      Perhaps even more importantly, though, tetrodotoxin doesn’t make sense as a narcotic because it is far more deadly than any of the substances used recreationally. For all the stink you hear about illicit drugs, they’re harmless in comparison. THC is a gentle compound that acts as a relaxant and appetite stimulant. For a person to die from orally ingesting marijuana, they would have to eat 1 lb or so of the most potent pot on the market in one sitting (which is probably why there has never been a case of fatal THC overdose). Tetrodotoxin, on the other hand, killed 179 people and poisoned another 467 in Japan alone from 1974 to 1983.
      Milligram-for-milligram, tetrodotoxin is 120,000 times as deadly as cocaine, 40,000 times as deadly as meth, and more than 50 million times as deadly as THC. It is tens to hundreds of times more lethal than the venoms of the most notorious animals in the world including the widow spiders and the black mamba. It’s more potent than VX nerve gas, formaldehyde, or even ricin. It is, quite literally, one of the most toxic compounds known to man. It is not a substance to be taken lightly.
      Even if we give the dolphins their weight advantage, as mammals, it still would only take a few milligrams of TTX to kill one-a dose which, when provoked, puffers can secrete. Once poisoned, it can take up to an hour to begin feeling the effects, which start with numbness, tingling and lightheadedness. Quickly, things get much, much worse.
      Paralysis spreads from the face throughout the body, to the point where any movement becomes difficult and even resting is described as uncomfortable. Muscles weaken, speech slurs, and breathing becomes labored. Within an hour or two, victims can lose feeling and control of their entire body. Around four to six hours after a lethal dose, the victim’s respiratory system succumbs.
      Sublethal doses are no picnic, either. Some have described becoming completely paralyzed head to toe, unable to move yet fully conscious, an aware and alert mind trapped in a motionless body. Because TTX doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier, the mind is clear, unaffected. “The victim, although completely paralyzed, may be conscious and in some cases completely lucid until shortly before death,” says the FDA. It’s a particularly terrifying state of mind referred to by physicians as cerebromedullospinal disconnection, pseudocoma, or, most simply, locked-in syndrome.
      I find it tough to believe that dolphins are so careful that they can walk the fine line between tingly lips and maddening paralysis, especially when different individuals of the same species of pufferfish can carry vastly different amounts of toxin in their tissues. Instead, what I hear in the BBC’s description is naive animals learning a hard lesson: soon after ‘puffing’ on puffer, young male dolphins were filmed behaving strangely, even near-motionless at the surface. It doesn’t sound like a happy high; it sounds like the first stages of tetrodotoxin-induced paralysis, with the dolphins instinctively (and perhaps luckily) hovering in shallow water to retain the ability to breathe. It seems unlikely that they interact with puffers like this routinely. Even if the dolphins were pleasurably intoxicated, the inability to react quickly would leave them dangerously exposed to predators like large sharks, not to mention the inherent risks to their lives associated with the toxin involved.
      While dolphins may play with puffers to see them expand, or even foolishly put one in their mouths on occasion, I doubt they’re “using” them with any regularity. Instead, the young male dolphins that were caught on camera by this crew probably played a little too rough with their toy and paid an uncomfortable price for their mistake. Lucky for them, only a hidden camera was watching."
