I thought this one was pretty funny. Seems the mystery of crop circles appearing in Tasmania's poppy fields has been solved.

Wallabies get high in poppy fields, make crop circles
WALLABIES are breaking into Tasmania's poppy fields and getting high.
The strange occurrence, revealed in a State Government Budget Estimates hearing, has also solved what some growers say has spurred a campfire legend about mysterious crop circles that appear in northern Tasmania's poppy paddocks.
In true X-Files-style, Attorney-General Lara Giddings said the drugged out wallabies had been found hopping around in circles squashing the poppies, creating the formations – and hence solving the mystery.
The wallabies are increasingly entering the fields and eating the poppy heads.

Now *that's* high-larious...
Could this cause harm to these animals over extended periods, though?

Apart from addiction and other opiate-style drug effects?

Thouigh if they're only eating opium poppies, i doubt they'd be shitting much anyway.. They'd gnaw on a few, get high, and start acting like aliens....

There would be a reason for that too: capitalisation in the title.
