Hey, what's in this shiat, man?

Mostly Maui-wowie, man.

Yeah?

But it's got some Labrador in it.

What's Labrador?

It's dog shiat.

What?

Yeah, my dog ate my stash, man. Had it on the table, and the little motherfarker ate it, man.

Yeah?

I had to follow him around with a little baggie for three days before I got it back. Really blew the dog's mind.

You mean we're smoking dog shiat, man?

Gets you high, don't it?

Sure, it's medical.

Were those ... trails ... of snow ... flakesssss?



/wants steak and Cheetos

If it's not going to kill or otherwise permanently disable the dog, why call the vet?

Arf, man. . .

Administer 300 cc's of Cheetos....STAT!

Dude, my paws are huge! They can touch anything but themselves. Oh, wait.

woof!

Alright, Tibbles, just listen. Everything is going to be fine. You're very high right now. You will probably be that way for five more hours. Try taking some Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C complex.. if you have beer, go ahead and drink it.

Just remember you're a living organism on this planet, and you're very safe. You've just taken a heavy drug. Relax, stay inside, and listen to some music. Do you have any Allman Brothers?

You know, I'm against drug use myself, but I'm not going to lay that on you right now. Just mellow out the best you can, okay?

What's the malady behind the prescription?

I'm not even sure the dog can get high off the weed if it wasn't heated up. Everything I read suggests you have to heat up the weed at least to activate the THC (even when consuming it in your cooking). Either way, marijuana has to be one of the least toxic drugs I know of, so I wouldn't worry about it.

It doesn't activate. Heating it up only vaporizes it (so it can be absorbed by the blood stream in the lungs), or dissolves it into fat that can be absorbed by the gut. If you just ate it raw, you'd still get high, but it would take longer to digest.

You gotta dog-proof your house, dude.

Didn't RTFA, did you?

The good news is that death from marijuana intoxication is quite rare, and the lethal dose for dogs and cats is approximately 3g/kg. (2) Not every dog will need treatment, but some definitely will.

It's worse than that; they're all over the page, just invisible against the white background, man. The little blinks as they crossed over letters were what was getting to me. That, and the horizontal scrollbar that kept popping up and disappearing as they off-by-1'd at the margin. Free the smokers, and lock up the JavaScript animation developers, that's what I say.

The answer, my friends, is get more weeed.

The answer is obvious to anybody without a drug damaged brain. Go buy more.

heavymetal: Years ago I had a friend whos mom owned a dachshund that got into his stash. He had to go to work on 2nd shift so he just had time to scavenge what was left and get to work. A few hours into the shift the boss comes and tells him he has an emergency phone call from his mom. It was her freaking out about their stoned dachshund. Everyone else found it hillareous but he was worried and pissed. The dog was OK. It was a silly dachshund, I nicknamed it "Urine" because every time it saw me it pissed on the floor. It was a really excitable dog when not stoned.

Is that something of a breed characteristic (the pissing, not getting into peoples' pot)?

I had a friend whose dachshund did the same thing. Had to ignore it *entirely* for 15 minutes every time I came over, or it was on with the waterworks.

It's too bad, b/c otherwise the dog was adorable.

Favorite line from the article:

"My first and only feline patient treated for cannabis consumption (and apparently ate a large amount of it right out of a baggie) has shown no long term effects from his little party, but then again, he was weird to begin with."

oh, man. Going waaaaaaaaay back at least 35 years ago, even before cheech and chong's famous "mostly maui-waui" movie scene. I was over a friend's house, with a brand new bag I just scored. As luck would have it, it was some really awful, I mean bad, ditch weed. 3 joints and you had a sore throat and a headache. I left the baggie on top of my guitar amplifier in the garage, and we took a break. Came back to find an empty, torn up baggie. Pickles, the dachshund, had gotten into the bag and glommed the whole thing.

We doubt if the dog even got a buzz off of it, we couldn't and we were trying. Then it became a joke, if you got a bag of crap weed, that it was dog food.

Plus they're not effective enough and now my doctor wants to put plastic tubing in my eyeballs. But god forbid that I should be able to use a natural remedy whose side effects I actually like, and it works. And it would be next to free if I could just grow my own. But nooooooo.

You mean the SNOW FLAKES right?

I've seen dogs seizure from pot ingestion. Blood pressure issues, slow heart rates. They can slip into a coma. Never seen a death directly attributed to it, but definitely some animals who needed some medical care. It's surprisingly toxic at times, usually because of the difference in body size between us and them, and their propensity to eat way more of it than we ever would.

In vet school, I had a patient who ate an entire plate of pot brownies, then wandered into the kitchen (once the munchies kicked in, I guess) and ate an entire raw onion. Had to treat the dog for THC toxicity, chocolate toxicity, and onion toxicity. Dog did fine.

I gave a family member a doob of some good smoke I had back in the 90's and his dog ate it before he could smoke it. He called to tell me what happened. I asked how his mutt reacted to it, he said that "He just laid around all day gnawing on a hambone." I said "Well yah, you would have ended up doing that too."

/CSB
//German shepards never put in on a bag

Oh...and I had a dog once who presented with acute signs very similar to THC toxicity, except that it's heart rate was about 240 beats per minute. The owner said there was pot he could have gotten into. I talked him into a urine drug screen (on the dog, not the owner), which came back positive for pot...and cocaine. Owner denied having cocaine in the house. Still a mystery. Can pot be laced with cocaine?

I'm fine with people smoking weed; but come'on. Can't you pretend to be responsible about it? .

There was a section on inducing vomiting if it's within an hour of ingestion. Other than that, there's not much you can do at home...unless you are set up to give IV fluids, I guess.

I feel for you big time. See what I dont understand, if we look at that the upper 1% who run the country, want to keep screwing over the rest of the country, wouldn't they want to legalize pot, get rich from the sale and taxation of it, and have the rest of the country be so high that we would blindly say, yes, go ahead and steal more money from us for legislation X.

Different species are sensitive to different chemicals. Cats get a thrill from catnip. Chocolate can kill your dog.

Squirrels are known to nibble on Amanita mushrooms, but humans will die if they do, even touching some species of Amanita can make a human sick. Similar with spider plants, not the thing you want your pet eating.

I am sure some of the veterinarians here can provide more information.

Oh, and weed does not need to be heated. Try some Bhang (new window) as an example. You're welcome.

Had a dog who Loooooooooooved plastic. He wasn't actually my dog, he was my friends family dog. They were away vacationing in the Outer Banks. I was house-sitting/dog sitting. And the dog, just loooooved plastic.

Can't speak to whether or not they get high. They certainly look high. They do get very sick, and it's from absorbing THC, so I'm guessing the "it needs to be heated" thing is bullshiat.

I have glaucoma, too. If you seriously think that pot is a cure-all for glaucoma, then you are farking retarded. If your doctor thinks pot is a cure-all for glaucoma, then he's retarded, too. It's not an effective long term treatment, which is precisely what you need for glaucoma. It is, however, a very effective short term treatment.

I have no problem with pot, but this nonsense about using pot as a treatment for glaucoma borders on the absolute line of bullshiat science. Jenny McCarthy levels of bullshiat science. It lowers the pressure in your eye for about 3 hours, at best. To be effective, you'd have to be high the whole goddamn day. Not only that, but THC itself isn't effective in reducing eye pressure - you HAVE to smoke the weed to get the effect. Most people can't handle smoking a joint every three hours, and that brings along even more health problems, anyway.

Also, I sincerely doubt you have glaucoma.
