Catnip Cocktail, despite being labelled not approved for human consumption, provides a new episode in the endless series which is human stupidity
There’s two things which are infinite, according to Albert Einstein: the universe and human stupidity, and he wasn’t certain about the universe.
Which brings us directly to Catnip Cocktail, billed as the “ultimate mood enhancer for treating anxiety in dogs and cats”.
No prizes for guessing then that, despite being clearly labelled “Not approved for human consumption”, folks in the US have been swigging down the potion in a bid to get high.
While not containing any actual catnip, the product does have 1,4-butanediol in it – a compound which metabolises as the date rape drug GHB when ingested.
So not only does it induce severe mood swings and erratic behaviour in humans, it’s probably not going to be all that great for the cat either.
