Nice, my cat is very happy she is ok. He would help trim all my plants if I would let him.
Haha. When i had a cat, she was initially very interested in the plants, then after she took a little bite, it was too strong taste/smell to her and she immediately backed off like the plants are poisonous or something :D She did that a few times and then started avoiding anything that smells like very strong weed and never touched the plants again. She used to want to sniff at all sorts of stuff i had, so if i was handling a bud and she wanted to smell that it was i was handling, i let her sniff and she seemed to be interested of the smell a bit further away, but when she got close, she got that expression like "wtf you try to poison me man?!?!?!?!" and went away :D

I just offered my dog a leaf, to see what he would do. No interest at all.

The dog should be just fine....they must taste good to them because my yellow lab picks and munches on them whenever my tent is open...for years. Haha. He’s never mowed a plant but your pooch just got some extra fiber in.

The plant will be fine. It's growing as
I'm writing this although the growth pattern will be slowed down a bit cause the lack of leaves
and once it produces more leaves then the growth will speed up. Also the plant has not been stressed at all, most pot plants are resilient.
What you can do is wait a couple weeks and bury part of the stalk so the plant won't be lanky.

We had one like that. She rummaged thru a compost pile and ate the discarded vegetative matter from a canna butter making session. It still had enough canna residue in it to make her get a little loopy.

We think she was a full blooded Potweiler.
My current dog doesn't care about my plants. But especially when walking her by the beach /trails if she smells someone blazing a joint she drags whoever is walking her over to say hi. She tells them "You smell just like my dad, so you must be a cool person". Every time lol.

Please provide evidence of natural living organic cannabis plants being toxic to any living being. Especially vegging plants with no buds at all..

This is misinformation whether intentional or not. Sorry if I come across as abrasive, this type of half truth statement contributes to stigmatize cannabis users both medical and recreational. No offense and not attacking you personally.

Extracts and edibles can definitely cause temporary problems if eaten on large dosages by humans or pets, however again I know of no toxic dosage levels from the cannabis itself. Obviously pesticides or sloppy growing methods could introduce pathogens or bacteria or other byproducts that could be of concern.

I have also seen first hand evidence of dogs treated for cancer by cannabis that lived 5 years past the death sentence given to them by the vet. Besides that after a recommendation from a friend w 2 huskies, gave my old mastiff weak homemade cannabutter edibles before grooming sessions and it made things go a lot smoother (before we would have to strap him down especially trimming nails) He also made it to 13 when all his siblings from 2 litters didn't make it past 8.
my dog got a small amount of leaves and puked all that night... no evidence needed lol

word. sorry to hear that. I will say, I still am not willing to agree this was a cannabis toxicity. My dog throws up when she eats too much grass. I think its a biological response on some level.

I guess my issue is that the word toxicity implies there is some dosage or level of ingestion that will result in death.

The main thing to remember is every animal from me to your pet have different body chemistry. What could be fine for most could be toxic to some. If my wife eats mushrooms she dies, they are toxic to her. I don't have that issue. Check out this article. https://phys.org/news/2018-11-veterinary-experts-cannabis-fatal-poison.html . Now there is still much being learned so I won't take a hard stand either way. I will say it is possible that both sides of the argument have merit. The definition of toxic is something poisonous, or something very harmful or bad. I think most things could qualify as toxic depending on the situation.

Interesting thank you. I think you make a fair argument and I will look into this more.

pets will eat leaves when their stomachs are upset, or the GI tract is lacking in certain digestive enzymes. Go to Vitality Science and look at Pet Flora and Digestive Enzymes
