Help, my raccoon is high! Woman asks firefighters to help stoned pet

What do you do when your raccoon gets stoned? Head to the nearest fire station.

Firefighters in Indiana in the United States were a little surprised when they were woken up in the middle of the night to a woman frantically pushing their doorbell. The upset woman pleaded with the firefighters to help her pet raccoon who she said got into someone else’s marijuana. 

"They could tell that the raccoon was lethargic and met all of those symptoms that we typically run into when someone's been exposed to marijuana," Wayne Township Fire Captain Mike Pruitt told WTHR.

"It really left the guys scratching their heads that someone brought a raccoon to the firehouse at 2am seeking help, and especially with the condition the animal was in, so we hope that the raccoon made a full recovery."

Recordings from the local police scanner obtained by RTV6 show the raccoon had police officers baffled as well. Listen to audio of police trying to decipher the situation below:

Ultimately, Pruitt said, they couldn't help the raccoon’s owner who took the animal home to sleep off its high.
