They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said…

No, humans aren’t the only ones that know how to get high. We found out that dolphins are one of the pros in the animal world.

Have you ever wondered why dolphins were so cute? They’re like the popular kids hopping around and always showing off tricks. They float right underneath the water, mesmerized by their own reflection… They were high.🤪

Don’t tell the kids. 🙊

When they’re feeling it, a quick high from pufferfish is their go-to. 🐡 Pufferfish spit out a defensive chemical when threatened. That same chemical can give dolphins illusions and a trance-like state. So they just wander around and get some whenever they want some.

Dolphins aren’t the only ones though. Add some Australian dogs to the list. They definitely know how to party. Some dogs have been found to be getting high by licking on poison toads. It was such a huge gang the government even sent all the dogs to rehab. 🏨

Speaking of dogs, we can’t leave out the cats, right? You guessed it, but no. Catnip will not get you high.

God dammit just lemme sniff one more.

We do need to mention that even the video shows dolphins messing around with their “stuff,” there’s no solid proof that they do it by means of getting high. There’s just not enough proof yet.

Besides, marine biology experts have pointed out that pufferfish poison is MEGATOXIC. (without any cure so far) It’s said to be 120,000 times more venomous than crack. It just seems too risky to get high from pufferfish juice. On the other hand, by observing how the dolphins react, it’s more likely a numb response to intoxication.

Nevertheless, it’s not your fault if you think dolphins are druggies. They are the best at humping on every object possible. Whores.
