Britain’s seagulls are pinching “stashes” from drug users, said Metro. There are increasing reports of the seaside birds “swooping down to make off with drug-users stashes – in particular, a group of synthetic cannabinoids known as ‘spice’”. The drug can cause “euphoria, talkativeness, paranoia and nausea” in people but “surprisingly enough, there’s been very little research into the synthetic narcotics’ effects on seagulls”, quipped the paper.
