Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 May, 2015 10:47 AM

BARRIE, Ont. — Police in Barrie, Ont., say two men who took an illicit drug had to call 911 when they couldn't find their way out of a bush.

The 911 call came in Tuesday from the pair, who said they were lost.

Police say it became clear both men were under the influence of a drug of some sort.

Barrie police and EMS, with the help of dogs, found two 19-year-old men who were "silently staring off into the sky."

Police say it took several attempts to talk to the men to determine they had consumed an illicit drug and were extremely disoriented.

They were taken to hospital for their safety, and police say no charges will be laid.
