Hallucinogens have the potential to expand the mind, open new dimensions and reveal the deepest secrets of an infinite cosmos – or they can turn you into an absolute mess.
This young bear cub learned the hard way that the road to spiritual enlightenment may not lie in psyche-bending substances after all.
The cub was found high as a kite in Turkey after gorging itself on a type of honey that can make animals trip balls.
She appears to have snaffled up a heavy dose of ‘mad honey’, known as ‘deli bal’ in Turkish.
The wavy substance, which is produced by rhododendrons, transformed the honey hungry bear from Winnie the Pooh into a classic Glastonbury casualty (if a little furrier).
Rescuers found her staggering around a rural part of Duzce province earlier today looking like she’d just wandered bleary-eyed out of a 1960s squat.
The bear was loaded onto the back of a truck, where she managed to get sat upright and looked like she might be having a good think about the universe and God and stuff.
That, or she was wondering how she ended up propped up next to a diesel generator and was wishing everything would just go back to normal.

Footage of the bear was shared by a Turkish government ministry, with people invited to suggest a name for the adorable space cadet.
In lieu of a chillout tent, the bear was taken to a vets and given the once over.
Officials say she’s coming down and will soon be sober enough to be released back into the wild, maybe with a new perspective on life and time and whatever.
