Cat nip images. Looks pretty similar.

When you buy certain cat toys/scratch posts you sometimes get a little free clear bag of cat nip just like your pic OP.

I bet this is a wind up by someone.

If she was trying to buy cannabis, she has been ripped off Grin

Was thinking the same. I remember getting sold a bag of oregano as a youngster (I still smoked it and pretend I was having a brilliant time 😑)

Her siblings are only 5 so won't be them. She did get a load of stuff for her kitten so it is more than likely catnip snd she can't remember. Just glad it isn't weed.

Definitely! As a teen I remember a guy with our group trying to buy some when we went to London and paying £20 for an empty twist of cling film 🤦🏻‍♀️

My husband is a marijuana farmer. Not one of the strains he harvests looks anything like that.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 24/11/2021 22:13

Looks like Rosemary. What does it smell like?

Ekofisk · 24/11/2021 22:55

I’d say catnip. I had a sachet just like that in the cat food cupboard when we were moving. It was the one thing the removals people didn’t pack and it was the only thing I found it left behind when I was cleaning up (although they had no problems packing used teabags).

Briarshollow · 24/11/2021 23:10

This is such a pure situation.

Mum panics that bag of green stuff is weed and it turns out to be catnip for her daughter’s kitten. Grin

Briarshollow · 24/11/2021 23:11

Wtf is catnip anyway?

RampantIvy · 24/11/2021 23:16

Get the cat to smell it and watch the reaction Grin

You can come on here and ask questions about submarines or cannabis and there's always someone who actually knows Grin

I mean...it's basically drugs for cats.

If it were for humans it would be against the law. So she's effectively her kitten's dealer.

Weed for cats Grin
WaltzingBetty · 24/11/2021 23:32

It's not weed

Rno3gfr · 24/11/2021 23:34

Haha definitely not drugs. Unless she tried to buy weed and someone sold her some dried thyme...

whatstobecomeofus · 24/11/2021 23:54

Sounds like the kitten might be getting into substances 🤪

BritWifeInUSA · 25/11/2021 01:59

@wheresmymojo not sure what you mean. But it’s a perfectly normal job here where it’s legal. No different from working in a distillery or brewery.

hairyspiderleg · 25/11/2021 02:19

Looks like one if those packets you get in instant noodles?

OzziePopPop · 25/11/2021 02:33

Btw, you can actually smoke catnip (I’m told) it’s supposed to be quite fun, hallucinogenic as I remember. That’s for humans btw, can’t imagine a cat smoking it…

Frannibananni · 25/11/2021 06:02

Doesn’t look like it.

FindingMeno · 25/11/2021 06:06

It's not weed. It's herbs of some sort from something.
I would get more educated on drugs, in the nicest possible way!

This is a very telling thread 😅
