A herd of sheep that broke into a greenhouse in Almyros, Greece ate around 100 kilos of cannabis. The shepherd realized this when his animals developed strange behavior.

“I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.” The owner of a greenhouse-grown medical cannabis farm got an unpleasant surprise on Thursday, September 21, when it was devoured by sheep.

At least 100 kg of medical cannabis was consumed directly in a greenhouse. Bad weather in the last few months has already reduced the output significantly.

“With the heat, we lost part of the production, with the flood, we lost the rest, and the best thing was a herd of goats that I don’t know how they came back, what started to eat. I left. Honestly, I don’t know what to say,” the operator testified in the magazine.

“They’re all crazy”

The shepherd realized the problem when he noticed the strange behavior of his sheep. “They’re all crazy,” the farmer reportedly commented to a local radio station Parisian,
