Sheep Eat 220 Pounds of Cannabis: One of the Wildest Cannabis Stories Ever
š WTF?! These Sheep Ate 220 Pounds of Cannabis...
Every now and then, a cannabis story comes along that makes you stop and ask...
"What the...?"
This is one of those stories.
In 2023, after severe flooding left much of the countryside without food, a flock of hungry sheep in Greece stumbled upon something far more interesting than grass...
A greenhouse full of medicinal cannabis.
The sheep didn't nibble around the edges.
They reportedly devoured nearly 220 pounds (100 kilograms) of cannabis, leaving behind little more than stems and a very frustrated farmer. The bizarre incident quickly spread across international news outlets because, honestly, it's the kind of headline that sounds completely made up.. except it wasn't.
So... Did the Sheep Get High?
Surprisingly...
Probably not.
Fresh cannabis contains mostly THCA, not THC.
THCA is the naturally occurring form of the cannabinoid found in raw cannabis. Unlike THC, it isn't considered strongly intoxicating because it typically needs to be heated... a process called decarboxylationāto convert into the THC associated with the classic cannabis "high."
So while the sheep that ate the 220 pounds of cannabis likely destroyed an entire harvest worth thousands of dollars... They probably didn't spend the afternoon lying in a field listening to Pink Floyd.
The Real Victim
For the farmer, it was a disaster.
Months of work disappeared in a single feeding frenzy.
For the internet...
It was comedy gold.
Within hours, social media was flooded with jokes like:
"Baaaked."
"Those sheep found paradise."
"Imagine explaining that insurance claim."
Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
And sometimes...
