Created by Swpb (talk). Self-nominated at 14:41, 24 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Recreational drug use in animals; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced and free of copyvio. Created within seven days of this nomination. Hooks are interesting, succinct, and referenced; ALT1 is my favourite, then ALT2, but all three are incredibly interesting. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! A fascinating read—thank you for sharing. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:17, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
