A herd of sheep were found acting in a strange way after they reportedly chewed through a large dose of mind-altering drugs.

The wandering animals were searching for food on the flooded plains of central Greece. But instead of finding any nourishing sustenance, they stumbled across 220lb worth of of cannabis. Ravenous, the sheep invaded a greenhouse producing medical cannabis near the Greek town of Almyros. It was not long before they made their way through the crop of already damaged plant matter.

Following their 'meal', the herd was then said to begin displaying unusual behaviour after they were spotted making their way across the plains of Thessaly. However, the exact nature of their actions was not fully explained.

The sheep finished off what remained of the crop that had been damaged by Storm Daniel and a recent heatwave, reports MailOnline. The owner of the crop told local media: "I don't know if we should laugh or cry. We had the heatwave and we lost a lot of production. We had the floods, we lost almost everything. And now this. The herd entered the greenhouse and ate what was left. I don't know what to say, honestly."

Storm Daniel ravaged the Mediterranean earlier this month, causing floods and loss of life in Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria. Officials also said that over 100,000 animals and livestock were killed in the three days that it battered Greece. While in the coastal city of Derna in Libya, thousands of people were feared dead following the devastating storm. Emergency teams worked to recover bodies from the city in the east of the country, which has a population of around 85,000, after large parts of it were destroyed.

Rescuers had said 10,000 people were reported still missing after floodwaters broke through two dams and smashed through the city, washing away entire neighbourhoods. Residents said they heard loud explosions and realised that dams outside the city had collapsed.
