We do not endorse drug use in any way and we are hereby pinpointing just how much it can ruin your life. However, animals doing drugs is a real thing and it is absolutely hilarious. Some animals do them for the beneficial effects and some are just so hooked they can’t stop.

We’ve gathered the most hardcore animal drug users on the list below. The ways animals get high is an absolute must read!
