Interesting things with regard to dolphins are shown on a new documentary series by BBC One, called Dolphins: Spy in the Pod. The documentary shows young dolphins going into a trans-like state by having pufferfish.
There is a unique way that they adopt to get high on it. Pufferfish releases a nerve toxin, which makes dolphins to be in the intoxicated state. Zoologist Rob Pilley, working as a producer for the series, said that dolphins know the exact amount that they need to have of toxin.
This is the reason that they gently chew puffer fish and pass it on to other dolphins. "After chewing the puffer gently and passing it around, they began acting most peculiarly, hanging around with their noses at the surface as if fascinated by their own reflection", affirmed Pilley.
Pilley said that noticing such things, they would like to levy an assumption on dolphins that they intentionally antagonize the pufferfish. Though it seems funny to know that pufferfish is distributed as a joint to other dolphins, there is a doubt that dolphins are getting stoned.
It has been said that any of the illicit drug has its own ill effects, but one of the main side effects is they alter the mind.
