Cannabis is known to leave its smokers feeling woolly-headed, but it seemed to have little effect on a flock of sheep who chomped their way through thousands of pounds worth of the drug.
The hungry hash-eaters came across seven black bags containing the class B banned substance that had been dumped at the edge of their farm in Merstham, Surrey, and started scoffing.
The fly-tipped plants, each about three-foot tall, had an estimated street value of £4,000 – police have just revealed.
Fanny’s Farm shop manager Nellie Budd told the Surrey Mirror: “My sheep weren't quite on their backs with legs in the air but they probably had the munchies.
”They haven't had any other side effects but I'll tell you about the meat next week.“
Recalling the incident, on Thursday, September 28, she said: ”My sheep being inquisitive had an interesting feast on it.
