8. High Times in the Rockies
Out in the Canadian Rockies, high in the mountains, grows a species of yellow-green lichen with psychoactive properties. The plant is also quite rare, taking almost a century to develop. Since it’s all the way in the mountains, there is only one animal who has access to it: the wild bighorn sheep.
The sheep will go out of their way and risk their lives to nibble at this lichen and satisfy their craving. They’ll balance on the narrowest ledges and hop across chasms; they’ve even been known to abandon the herd just to find this plant.
