Cannabis fields in New Brunswick, Canada, have had their fair share of unwanted visitors, including rodents and bugs. These intruders not only eat the produce but can also spread diseases. However, one unexpected encounter with a little mouse turned out to be quite amusing. The mouse was found lying on its back, seemingly “stoned” and completely passed out among the plants.
Colin Sullivan, the owner of the field, noticed the tiny rodent stealing leaves from his plants for two consecutive days. He managed to capture some hilarious pictures of the mouse nibbling on its mini “harvest” before succumbing to the effects of the cannabis. Sullivan placed the mouse in a cage to help it “detox” and regain its senses. Remarkably, after six days, the mouse was back on its feet and ran back into the wild.
Sullivan couldn’t resist sharing this funny experience on Facebook. He humorously wrote, “For two days in a row, I’ve caught this little pothead munching on my plants until he passes out. He’s missing an ear, so it might be self-medication for his PTSD, but I still think it’s time for an intervention. I’ll let him sleep it off for now, but when he wakes up, he’s getting a real stern talking to.”
A few days later, Sullivan updated his followers on Facebook, showing the mouse still in its Perspex cage. He said, “Our little baked buddy has experienced a couple of rough days, enduring a belly ache and severe munchies. However, I believe he’ll make a full recovery. We’ve gradually weaned him down to one medium-sized leaf per day, and he seems to be adjusting well. One day at a time, my friend, one day at a time.”
