Dolphins ‘deliberately get high’ on puffer fish nerve toxins by carefully chewing and passing them around
ADAM WITHNALL Author Biography Monday 30 December 2013


Dolphins are thought of as one of the most intelligent species in the animal kingdom – and experts believe they have put their ingenuity to use in the pursuit of getting “high”.

In extraordinary scenes filmed for a new documentary, young dolphins were seen carefully manipulating a certain kind of puffer fish which, if provoked, releases a nerve toxin.

Though large doses of the toxin can be deadly, in small amounts it is known to produce a narcotic effect, and the dolphins appeared to have worked out how to make the fish release just the right amount.

Carefully chewing on the puffer and passing it between one another, the marine mammals then enter what seems to be a trance-like state.

"It's a dog of a way to get high but Queensland pooches are lapping up hallucinogenic sweat from cane toads"

But remember what the GOP says, getting high is evil.

5. My son's chihuahua likes to get high on toads.

Pedro goes into the vegetable garden in the summer and looks for toads to lick. He gets stoned when he licks them, and almost died once. The family tries very hard to keep toads out of the garden, but it's impossible, so they have to keep a close eye on Pedro when he's outside and only let him stay outside long enough to pee and poo.

7. A friend in high school had a dog that liked to drink beer

I found out later that alcohol is pretty toxic to dogs, but none of us knew this at the time. He seemed none the worst for wear for it and lived to a ripe old age.
