Sheep wander into greenhouse, eat 600 pounds of marijuana plants

Sept. 25 (UPI) -- A flock of sheep found their way into a greenhouse in Greece and ate more than 600 pounds of marijuana plants being cultivated for medical use.

Yiannis Bourounis, owner of the greenhouse in Magnesia, said his crop had already been damaged by heat and recent floods when a flock of sheep managed to enter the greenhouse and feast on the remaining cannabis plants.

He estimated the sheep munched their way through more than 600 pounds of plants.

Bourounis told thenewspaper.gr that the sheep were "jumping higher than goats" after eating their ill-begotten greenery.

Greece legalized medical marijuana in 2017, and the country opened its first cannabis production plant earlier this year.
