Some Dolphins like to get high too

A new BBC documentary will show adolescent dolphins getting high by chewing on pufferfish. The fish secrete a toxin that gives the dolphins a buzz, and the crew on the upcoming show filmed male bottlenose dolphins passing around a puffer fish before acting "most peculiarly." The program's executive producer John Downer notes the dolphin were in a trancelike state, "hanging around with their noses at the surface as if fascinated by their own reflection."
How long before we have an Oceanic DEA branch to stop these drug addled dolphins?  The war on drugs may be about to expand...beneath the waves!

I'm picturing a hippy dolphin with long fins and small round glasses.

He might spend his days pushing pet causes like "Save the Humans."
Q: “Do you have funny shaped balloons?”
A: “Not unless round is funny.”
