Does Marijuana effect dogs differently?

[SDforever420]

First, I AM NOT GETTING MY DOG HIGH!! I can't stress that enough, so please don't assume I am.

The reason I ask is my girlfriend and I kinda got into an arguement about it lol. This girl at her school puppy died of poisoning. Come to find out the dumbass was getting the puppy high everyday. I guess the aptopsy said it was similar to anti freeze poisoning. My gf googled it and found a page that said marijuana can poison dogs like anti freeze. I didn't believe this one bit. I have seen people get their dogs high before and all that happens is they passout. I even found a study online where they injected a dog with a 7 gram extract and it passed out for a day and half, but never died

I guess my question is this: is marijuana toxic to dogs?

My personal opinion on how the puppy died would be that this girl is just a dumbass. You wouldn't ge a baby high would you? No. So why is a puppy any different?

Give a Dog a bong and find out

Dogs are responsive to some cannabinoids that are inactive in humans, eliciting vertigo in canines (cats don't share this response). So dogs will very likely find cannabis unpleasant, but it's not a clear physical danger to them.

Heh...a little grammar lesson: you wanted "affect", I'm thinking. What you said is synonymous with, "Does marijuana bring about the presence of dogs differently?" Pretty trippy...

That explains why a lot of the dogs I have seen get high try to pull away when getting a hit blown in their face. They obviously don't like it so why force it?
Got me thinking though. Maybe one day there will be strain specific weed for dogs. Ex: lacking those cannaboids your talking about.

Thanks for the correction lol. Wish my English teacher in high school was that nice about it. I didn't pay much attention in her class, due to the fact that she was a crazy nazi bitch(not joking).

Also would this get better responses in ADD?

Well, one day I was hanging out with my friend, and his girlfriends little yorkie starts acting sick, and before long is puking and shaking like crazy. And this dog was not ok, it looked like it was going to die, thing was like vibrating violently and puking on itself, every time it tried to stand up it would fall over. So we take it to the vet, and I didn't know this at the time, but the vet takes the dog then come back like 30 minutes later says it looks like the dog threw up some "green leafy material", and basically says it looks like it got into our stash, cool vet. Turns out my friend did suspect the dog had ate some of his weed(caught it with its snout in the bag) but he hadn't told me for whatever reason, I probably would have told him not to go if I had known. By this time the dog had calmed down and just looked really wiped out, vet gave us the dog back and told us it would be fine. Then, after we got back the dog starts going crazy barking, trying to play, jumping all over the place, throwing toys around, even more active than usual.

Anyways, don't know what all that means, thats just my experience with a dog ingesting a good amount of weed, and this was a tiny little log, so especially for it. I'm not sure how much affect blowing smoke in your dogs face really has.

When I was a young teenager I did actually get so high I got really nauseous. I was hanging out with my older brother and him and some friends had taken some beans, was actually their first time. But I was like 13 so they didn't give me any. But they told me I could smoke as much of their weed as I wanted, so I did, for hours. And I've gotten sick a couple of times from large doses of certain synthetic agonists. So maybe the dose was too high for the tiny dogs virgin receptors, she got so high she got sick, then after puking up what she could, what was already in her system got her high. Or maybe weed is poison to dogs, I don't know.

I'm thinking this would do better over in drug culture personally, mods feel free to send it back, or elsewhere, should you find a better home for it. As to the subject, unfortunately I have nothing to offer other than that I feel forcing drugs on any sentient being to be fundamentally wrong. /$0.02

Not really. It isn't plausible that this would deliver an active dose (unless the dog somehow actively sucks up the smoke in an efficient way), so the dog is just annoyed because its owner is doing annoying things to it.

Hah, cool. To avoid being a prick, I only point out grammatical mistakes when the construction is pretty funny to me.

Also would this get better responses in ADD?

I'd feel free to drop a post in our merged 'quick questions' ("pseudo-advanced") thread in there, though I'm not sure if anyone will have the primary research handy.

I have seen it work that way before. It's kinda a cruel thing to do actually. I had a friend who would grab his dogs snout and blow smoke directly in it's nose.
Another buddy said he stopped getting his dog high because the same thing as CoolWhip described happened.

My opinion: you shouldn't be getting you dog high. Unless your feeding it edibles in the right dose. Which could vary from dog to dog and from the type of weed. It's really not a humane thing to do to something without a voice.

I don't think it's cool to get animals high. When I had my little Corgi 25 years ago he had swiped a joint I had left in my jacket pocket. I only knew this because it turned up missing and I assumed he ate it. After some time, he sat on the sofa and wouldn't move. He just stared into space and wasn't interested in treats or going outside. He must have sat there like a stone for most of the night. He didn't get sick or anything but still I felt badly.
