Giving pot to pets can be fatal
MEGAN CONNELLAN

BORDER veterinarians often treat stoned cats and dogs that have accidentally and deliberately been fed cannabis by their owners.

Cases reported on the Border include dogs that have drunk bong water and dogs that have eaten cannabis cakes made by owners.

Albury Family Vet Centre veterinarian Dr John Paton said they treated about two cases a year where pets were brought into the clinic suffering from cannabis ingestion.

Dr Paton said the symptoms displayed by animals varied depending on the amount of cannabis they had ingested.

“We get animals in looking pretty stupefied and bombed out to those with complete depression and heart failure,” he said.

“It is certainly not a good idea for pets to ingest cannabis and it can be fatal.

“Some irresponsible pet owners give their animals cannabis just to see how they will react.

“Cannabis could have a disastrous effect.”

yes, i have learned this the hard way...fed a friends dog, about a dime or so of some nice buds...i duno what i was thinking. the dog liked it he kept eatin more nugs and bits...a few hours later, we thoguth the dog was goin to die.....his parents took it to vet...it spent a nite there, we said it was eatin figs in the backyard thatd falled off tree....well they never knew, but they said the dog mustve eaten tainted/poisoned/bad figs...heh, whatever...yea lesson learned it was real sad, the dog was GONE, fallin overr, cowering in the corner, whimpering....sad, but funny....call me a sick person!
 
step 1. stick said pet into a closed box with a hole in the top
step 2. take huge rips
step 3. blow said rip into box
step 4. chill with stoned pet
step 5. repeat
 
Ever noticed how most pets hate ciggy smoke but pot smoke doesn't worry them too much?

Larger dogs with reasonable muscle mass and active lives seem to like the occasional cone.
Cats find it hard to handle any amount and small dogs annoy me anyhows so i won't give them a hit.
Dogs being dogs will usually be seeking attention from the stoners as they sess, the idea is unavoidable


Unfortunately i have a weak spot for shouting some of my mates dogs a few puffs whilst sessin at their house.

One german shepard was at first nervous having his mouth held slightly open whilst the smoke was softly blow in, but after a few occasions the dog would be patiently sitting at the feet of whoever had the bowl and bong.

When the person drew the cone he would sit up straight and wouldn't flinch when you held his jaw and blew in his face (don't even think that!=D )
After a slight cough he would proceed to excitedly run up to everyone, eventually settling in the middle of the room to give his jewels a good licking and then a nice 5mins drag/grind against the carpet followed by more vigourous licking&leg twitching.
Once satisfied :| he'd drop on his side and snooze for 5-10mins, awaking a happy refreshed boy.

You can imagine the stunned reaction of the stoners for the first few times watching the dog's lovely performance in the middle of the room.8o =D


As for giving pets mull or cake, you ppl are evil! What a waste:(
 
I get my pets high only by second hand smoke... I don't do it on purpose, but I always sit with my dog while smoking...

After 20+ cones the rooms smokey as and no doubt doggy is getting a bit high :D
 
Man. My mouse has to get 1000x times as stoned as we get. We put him in a big water jug (2 gallon I think), cut a few holes in it, and exhale into it. It often times get too thick to fully see the mouse. And it almost always too thick to see through.

When he comes out, he's baked like a goddamn potato. He get's the munchies really bad too. So we feed him apples, and cookies, and cheetos and stuff. And we play with him and stuff. Then I usually stick him in my pocket, and he chills in there. (Carpenter pants, with the little pockets on the legs)

The way I see it. He's got a damn good life. If he dies, oh well. He only cost $2... :\

That's fuckin' terrible.
 
I wouldnt get a pet high deliberately just to see how it reacts.... but I've got a friend who's dog ALWAYS wags its tails and jumps up in her lap to take in the 2nd hand smoke. That dog LOVES getting stoned! Forcing it on an animal is cruel... but if your pet wants to partake and enjoys it... why not?
 
My dog(short haired english pointer) would always come lay next to me when I smoked a joint. When he was dying in pain I forcefully got him high and it helped him rest and relieve his pain. He died that night. he was 14.

Im glad he went out high as a kite though.
 
Ever since i got my german shepard high in my garage, he always is laying in that corner now. Whenever i come out with my bong, he somehow knows its smoke time and he gets up and starts waggin his tail. What can i say, he loves gettin high.

As for the mouse thing, i think thats pretty cool. And if it does die so what? They are cheap and if you kill one mouse its not like another one will never be born... They fuck all the time.
 
A friend of mine fed some leftover shake to his dog after making brownies. The dog didn't eat too much, but an hour or so later he started throwing up. A parent took the dog to the vet, and the kid fessed up about the weed, so the dog was properly treated and is fine now.

The kid, on the other hand, got in a whack load of shit.

The thing with the mouse is a little messed, but I bet some people who think that is terrible would go out and eat mouse steak or somthing. (OK, not mouse steak, but some other animal. It's all the same.)
 
If Haze is hand feeding a mouse "apples, and cookies, and cheetos and stuff" then that mouse is living the high life. Some people buy $2 mice to feed to their snakes, others to drown, practice sugery, throw from moving vechicles, ect. I think its pretty obvious to see which ones are "fuckin' terrible."

paradoxcycle,
just because someone doesn't share your view point mean that they and their ethics are pathetic? do you consider yourself to have better ethics than Haze (simply because he smokes his $2 mouse out)?
