Fun Fact Friday: Deer on Drugs

I spent a significant portion of my day creating a mustachioed banana named BananMan, dear reader. I'd show you, but he isn't quite done. I thought I'd give you a banana fact, but we all know by now that bananas are giant herbs and the most commonly eaten fruit in the Americas and all that shit. How fucking fun is that?

Sometimes I get aggressive about facts. I apologize.

Fun fact: Deer enjoy marijuana.

This photo really shows how much deer love pot. And how you really can find anything on the interwebz.

Although the above picture shows a deer taking a toke, my fact is really more about deer munching on the plants themselves. My fun fact was leaving me (pun alert!) with all sorts of questions about deer on drugs. Why (to the best of my knowledge) have deer never made appearances in classic stoner films? Do deers eat the pot for the flavor or the feeling? Just how do deers experience their high?

Science has not caught up to many of my questions. I did, however, discover a news story from 2007, which references crime fighting deer in connection with a pot plantation bust in Italy. The deer were apparently "unusually frisky," which leads me to believe that high deer are a little horny.

While many mysteries still remain, dear reader (or deer reader, as the case may be), I'm sure this truly useless fact and all my puns have made you wish I had opted for a banana fact like, just for example: reindeer enjoy bananas. Which, yes, does happen to be true.
