Germans in Bavaria have an odd problem: their hydrangeas are disappearing. Are animals eating them? Worse: it’s teenagers. A Nuremberg resident told the tz regional paper Wednesday that he is the latest victim in a series of garden raids.
It turns out that young people are raiding the gardens to smoke the flowers. Hydrangeas are rumored cause a marijuana-like high, The Local reported.

This actually isn’t the first time that German media has reported on this issue. Back in 2011, Pharmazeutische Zeitung reported that an increasing amount of eastern German gardeners were also complaining of missing hydrangea plants.

The word news most often conjures up visions of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, the troubled global economy, a political crisis in Washington, erupting volcanoes and devastating earthquakes. But as we all know, there is far more to news than that. Indeed, it’s often the wacky, weird, offbeat and sometimes off-color stories that can most intrigue and fascinate us. Those stories can range from changing astrological signs to lost pyramids in Egypt but in their essence they all cast new light on the shared human condition in all of its wild diversity.
