are dolphins actually getting “high?”

597 viewsBiologyOther

I know it’s a fun story that dolphins pass pufferfish or something and the venom gets them “high” but I wonder if this is accurate. This seems like a cute urban legend more than genuine animal psychology. Or am I wrong? Is it scientifically verified somehow that dolphins have the cognitive ability to deliberately abuse drugs and get high socially?

Apparently, and I’ve seen dolphins pass a puffer fish between themselves as they cruising around. Considering dolphins are a bit rapey and known to masturbate with fish, I quite frankly would not be surprised at anything
