A new comedy horror film tells the true story of a black bear running amok on cocaine – and it is far from the only creature to have had a run-in with a mind-bending substance

. In Tasmania, where opium poppies are grown legally for the pharmaceutical industry, wallabies used to get in and eat them, “getting high as a kite and going round in circles”, said a local politician.Well, there was an elephant imaginatively called Tusko at a zoo in Oklahoma City that in 1962 was given nearly 300mg of LSDA pretty sick one: the poor animal died.

I don’t like these experiments on animals, even spiders. Haven’t you got any nicer animals-on-drugs stories?
