And dolphins like to kick puffer fish around to get high
This is only a reenactment
First time I laughed out loud today. Thanks! 😀
Puff, puff, pass.
Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.
While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.
I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.
I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.
The ulabis doesn’t really seem to fit the infographic.
Eating opium plants when food is scarce doesn’t really fall under the “drug use” category as it seems like it would have to be done.
The other uses were chosen
opium plants
Do you mean “poppies?”
Aye, poppy
Does it matter, mr. Pedantic?
Naw. Enjoy your hamburger meat animal sandwiches.
Accuracy and pedantry are different.
Enjoy your hamburger meat animal sandwiches.
With bread buns?
Yes, made with pulverized grain wheat flour dust
Lol, if it doesn’t mattet than it’s not accuracy. It is pedantry.
I am not sure if I am scared of a high jaguar or want to pet it. Maybe both?
Jaguar to his buddy: “Dude, I was so baked I let a hairless monkey pet me. I got the munchies though, so I ate him.”
What? No way bats can fly under influence! They are not above the law.
That’s why they fly upwards into international space first, duh.
Bees also get drunk. If they try to enter the hive while drunk, they get kicked out to sober up

Is there a reason we haven’t tried this narcotic fungi?
Shrooms are great, why not try other 'gi?
Humans actually do, but they do it by drinking the reindeer piss after the reindeer have eaten it.
I imagine it’s either there’s a chemical in the new fungi that specifically makes the rams high but not us or there is something in there that doesn’t affect them but is toxic to us
Based on a cursory Google search with the terms “bighorn sheep”+“Psychoactive fungi” it would seem they are referring to rumors of a psychoactive lichen that have not been formally identified.
-secondly, you don’t want to eat Amanita Muscaria aka fly agaric mushrooms unless you have thorough knowledge of what you’re doing. It contains a hepatotoxic compound (hence the deer piss reference in someone else’s comment) -and it should not be confused with the Psilocybin containing mushrooms AKA magic mushrooms. They do different things in the brain—The more you know 🌈 🌟
What about the birds that get drunk off of fermented cherries and smash into a stuff? We need to do something about these FWIs or nobody will be safe.
And wasps! They get drunk and aggressive in years with lots of overripe fruits.
Cedar waxwings get drink on fermented mulberries and roll around on the ground.
You know that mountain what where Moses did the thing with the burning bush? Hallucinogenic mushrooms.
The Elephant getting drunk bit is a bit sus
They’d have to eat a massive amount to get drunk.

This disagrees. It even goes so far as to call the “assumptions of previous researchers premature.”
