Hungry Sheep Devour Over 600 Pounds of Cannabis After Invading Greenhouse


Aflock of sheep have found themselves enjoying a slightly different diet this week after they devoured more than 600 pounds of cannabis.


The herd of unsuspecting herbivores were looking to satisfy their munchies when they inadvertently chomped down on a hefty stash of medical cannabis growing in a nearby greenhouse.

Near the town of Almyros in Thessaly, Greece, a greenhouse cultivating therapeutic marijuana became an unexpected diner for the animals as they grappled with the aftermath of Storm Daniel.

While looking to avoid flooding, the herd of sheep sought refuge in the greenhouse and simultaneously helped themselves to over 600 pounds of cannabis crops.

The bewildered shepherd watched as his flock began to exhibit what he called "strange behavior."

No s**t Sherlock. 600 lbs of cannabis and they had to be somewhat stoned.

"Our feta is the chronic!"
"You just won't be able to get enough of our Feta!"
"Feta: it's not just for Spanakopita anymore!"
"Feta: you still won't need a bong!"

Was when the sheep realized it was "medical cannabis", so they put Covid Vaccine in their water
pipes instead of water.

I hope they can't astrally project, because I do not need some spaced-out mound of wool bleating me awake at 4 AM!

Usually ex-bottle babies who don't think fences apply to them because they don't realize they are goats. I don't think that THC affects them as it does humans because they show no sign of odd behavior. That would not be unique, they will eat the hell out of poison ivy, for example, with no reaction. Of course with the cannabis or anything else, they go for the leaves not the buds, so there isn't much THC in there to begin with.
