Yep, the coyotes are all acting weird because they're zonked out of their furry little minds.

Drivers in Northern California have been warned not to feed or even approach coyotes they see along the highway. Some of the coyotes have been staring down drivers while others wander onto the highways and force drivers to stop. When they do, the coyotes sniff all around the vehicle and then run off.

Authorities suspected rabies at first but, now they say it's been too long for that as rabies would have killed the poor things by now. Another theory is that people in cars have been feeding them and that's why they've lost their usual, overly cautious ways.

That means the crazy critters must be eating fly agaric mushrooms. Native 'shrooms that are loaded with psychoactive goodness so, yeah.....the coyotes are trippin' ballz!
