The wallabies are getting whacky. Authorities in the Australian state of Tasmania report wallabies are getting "high as a kite" by snacking on legally grown opium. Tasmania Attorney-General Lara Giddings says the whacked-out wallabies are hopping around in circles, making a mess of the crops. The Mercury newspaper quotes Giddings telling a hearing that the kangaroo-like creatures are a problem for the opium industry. Tasmania supplies about 50 percent of the world's raw material for morphine and related painkillers
