Turns out humans aren’t the only species vibing with the leaf. From goats munching wild cannabis to reindeer chasing psychedelic highs, the natural world is way more lit than you think.
Welcome to WeedThawts Wildlife, where we explore the strange, surprising, and often hilarious relationship between animals and cannabis culture. Only at WeedThawts.com, where even the squirrels get side-eyed when the edibles go missing.
Animals That Get High (No, Really)
Nature’s full of creatures with a taste for the trippy—and yes, some definitely dabble:
Himalayan Mountain Goats
Known to munch on wild cannabis plants growing on rocky cliffsides. They seem… unbothered. Enlightened, even.
Big Cats + Nepeta (and Sometimes Cannabis)
While most felines are obsessed with catnip (a cousin to cannabis), some big cats in sanctuaries have been exposed to low-THC hemp—and they chill hard.
Siberian Reindeer
These guys famously eat psychoactive mushrooms—and some herders believe they experience “vision quests.” Cannabis exposure in wild reindeer isn’t confirmed, but let’s just say… they’re curious.
Monkeys
In regions where cannabis is grown openly, macaques and monkeys have been observed trying to snack on the leaves. Are they after cannabinoids? Or just hungry and chaotic? We may never know.

Can Animals Get High Off Cannabis?
Yes, but with serious differences in metabolism and tolerance. Most mammals have an endocannabinoid system, but that doesn’t mean sharing is safe.
- Dogs and cats are much more sensitive to THC, which can cause distress or toxicity.
- Wildlife is wild—you should never intentionally expose animals to cannabis.
So enjoy your sesh in peace, but don’t pass it to the parrot. Respect nature’s boundaries.

When Animals Crash Your Sesh
We asked the WeedThawts community about their wildest wildlife encounters while high. Some favs:
- “A raccoon tried to walk into our hotbox tent. Looked offended when we told him no.”
- “Squirrels stared at us from the trees like we were interrupting their yoga.”
- “A cat literally sat in the middle of our circle and rolled over. Icon.”
