A family grew suspicious of their pet rabbit after he kept escaping from his hutch and returning home in a suspiciously playful mood. 
 
 And it turns out he wasn’t just high on life - he was actually high from the marijuana plants he kept eating. 
 
 Pinpon had seemingly developed a love of the pot plant stash and kept returning to maintain the buzz he was feeling.

 It was only when his young owner followed him from her home in Huaura, Peru, one day that she discovered he was munching down on some strange-looking leaves. 
 
 She told Panamaricana: “My rabbit was on the other side of my house, at an abandoned place, and after he returned more playful. 
 
 "He went back later and I found him eating a plant.”

 She told her family what she had seen but it was only when one of them checked it out themselves that they realised it was a marijuana plant and promptly told the police, who took the stash away. 
 
 Pinpon was reportedly not too pleased about it and ran away from home in a sulk, before eventually returning - slightly less playful this time…

 Sometimes a carrot or two just isn't enough to, you know, take the edge off. But one hopped-up rabbit's less-than-legal alternative actually ended up turning him into an unwitting crime fighter.

 Last week, the big-eared pet, named Pinpon, helped lead authorities to an abandoned house containing marijuana plants in the village of Huaura, Peru. As multiple local news outlets are reporting, however, his actions weren't so pure. 
 
 Turns out, the illicit pot-grow operation was only discovered because Pinpon was helping himself to the supply. 
 
 According to the rabbit's young owner, Pinpon had escaped from home repeatedly — only to arrive back later in suspiciously higher spirits. 
 
 "My rabbit was on the other side of my house, at an abandoned place, and after he returned more playful," she told Panamaricana. Her curiosity piqued, she decided to follow Pinpon the next time he escaped. And sure enough, he just couldn't help himself. 
 
 "He went back later and I found him eating a plant," she said. 
 
 At first, Pinpon's owner thought it might be a rare plant native to the region, so she told her family about it. After somebody ventured over to check it out, they discovered it was actually weed. 
 
 That's when the cops were called. 
 
 Apparently, the rabbit was none too pleased to have his secret stash uncovered. He is said to have run away briefly after the bust, but has since decided to return home. 
 
 Still, the whole odd tale has had one last effect; it's made him a local celebrity of sorts, giving rise to 'lazy stoner rabbit' memes like this one: 
 
 "I cannot stand seeing the house dirty... now let me get up to turn off the light." 
 
 
 
 Jokes aside — we hope little Pinpon will go on to live a happy drug-free life, sticking to the less potent greens bunnies like him are suppose to enjoy. 
 
 
 

– One girl's pet bunny in Huaura, Peru, apparently had a hard time playing it cool when he stumbled onto a secret marijuana stash in a neighboring home; he seemed suspiciously frisky every time he returned from his recurring escape. So she took it upon herself to follow her little Pinpon, only to discover that the abandoned house on the other side of her own was housing plants that her pet felt compelled to munch on, Yahoo News reports she told Panamaricana. The innocent girl told the family about the plants she had discovered; they investigated with more mature eyes and called the police. After the authorities came and removed the potted plants, Pinpon is rumored to have run away (in one last ditch effort to find the weed?) but has now retired back to his previously sober life at home, reports the Dodo. But now he's become a local celebrity of sorts, and has even inspired his own meme on Facebook. Police took the plants; there's no word on whether the grower was found. (Pinpon may have been nibbling his weed for free, but in the US it costs the average legal user hundreds a year.)
