Wallabies snacking on Tasmania’s legally grown opium poppy fields are getting “high as a kite” and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops, a state official said. After the effect wears off it seems they crash just like human users do. Tasmania is the world’s largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market, supplying about 50 percent of the world’s raw material for morphine and related opiates. About 500 farmers grow the crop on 49,420 acres of land

When questioned the Wallabies said the “devil” made us do it.
