Off The Record
For 2 Days A Mouse Removed Leaves From A Plant Nearby And Ate Them Until He Passes Out
In Canada, a curious mouse was observed cutting on cannabis leaves before it passed out from being “high” on its back.
In New Brunswick, Canada, where cannabis is legal, Colin Sullivan reported that he discovered the rat nibbling leaves from his plants for two consecutive days last week.
Before the chemical took action, four photographs show the curious mouse nibbling at the plant leaves’ stem.
Pictures taken soon after reveal the rodent unconscious and laying in the center of a pile of leaves.
In order to keep the animal away from the plants long enough for it to get back on its feet, Colin made the decision to place it in a cage and begin a “12 step programme.”
The mouse was returned to the wild six days later.
Colin shared the news on Facebook last Tuesday, stating, “For two days in a row I’ve caught this little pothead taking leaves off of my plant and eating them until he passes out.
“He’s missing an ear so it may be self medication for his PTSD but I still think it’s time for an intervention.
“I’ll let him sleep this one off but when he wakes up he’s getting a real stern talking to.”
Colin provided an update on the mouse’s condition two days later, including a photo of the rodent within a perspex cage.
He wrote: “So it’s been a couple of rough days for our little baked buddy here and despite a belly ache and a wicked bad case of the munchies I think he’ll make a full recovery.
“He’s been weaned to one medium leaf per day and seems to be adjusting well.
“One day at a time my friend, one day at a time.”
After three days of “rehab”, Colin reported that the mouse was well enough to be let outside.
He wrote: “On The Rodent To Redemption,” adding a ton of puns.
“After a long and desperate battle with addiction this little mouse has grinded up his struggle, picked out the seeds and stems and is ready to roll out.
“Weed all benefit from joining together to help the smoke clear in any addict’s life.
“He did his very cannibest and was awarded his first Twelve Step chip.
“I may have been the one to open his cage but he was the one who set himself free. So long my friend, till we meet again.”
Thousands of people have commented on the posts, which have garnered over 12,000 likes.
“This series has made my year probably,” Jalyssa Glenda wrote.
“I’m happy to hear about his recovery,” stated Cody Myshrall.
“This is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet, ever,” commented Kayla Halleen.
When the Cannabis Act went into effect nationwide on October 17, 2018, cannabis became legal for recreational use in New Brunswick.
The legal minimum age to purchase, cultivate, consume, or possess cannabis for recreational purposes is 19, but it cannot be done so in a car or in a public setting.
