i agree..dogs do not metabolize it the same manner as humans and it can induce psychosis..don't do it unless it is for cancer..it's mean to do to your pet..

Both of my boy cats would/will munch down a fan leaf in a heartbeat. No affect that I can percieve. The girl wont touch it even though she's very into barley grass. Everybody stays away from buds. Thankfully.

This is an old joke.
"there's a piece of pizza under the table, a couple chicken drumsticks under the footstool, a waffle next to the sofa etc"
Hell yes you can eat off the floor.

more like 150 million receptors.
so you really think dogs aren't smart enough to know something they like or not?? Or smart enough to remember the last time they smelled it?
I mean curious may explain the first time but after that....??
how do you explain my dog putting his head in my lap when i'm smoking? until I blow a puff in his ear he won't leave me alone.
He most definitely knows the difference between tobacco/pot.
He doesn't like the tobacco but won't leave me alone when smoking a bowl.
you think he's still just curious after 6 years? he knows damn well whats coming, and enjoys it, otherwise he'd be by the door waiting to go out.
After you own a dog for a few years you may get to know just how smart they are.

Me and a friend where just talking the other night about how smart dogs are in the sense they can pick up on things going on around us when we cannot and definitely can pick up on different peoples vibe and energy.

Maybe labs have something in their gene pool. My back door neighbor growing up had 2 chocolate labs that had to be put down bc they ate decorative rocks. Could just be a coincidence though.

I've also had/have pets who gravitate towards and run from pot smoke. Just because some 'appear' to want to be around me when I'm smoking a joint, imo that doesn't mean I should deliver it to them. If I delivered my dog two pounds of butter, he'd nail it. My cats would inhale a gallon of dairy milk if I let them. Neither scenario is good for the pets.
The notion that you should deliver blow-back into the ear canal or snout of an animal (unless it's terminally ill, I guess) sounds pretty irresponsible to me.

it has been proven that dogs see in super slo motion. They see things @ more frames per second than we do. Therefore they pick up on microexpressions on our face, making it seem like they have a sixth sense when in reality they are just picking up on our "tells" which we don't even know we are giving. There was a very interesting show on animal planet recently and it went through all of this. I believe it was called
"all about dogs" or something like that.
everything in moderation
so I guess i shouldn't give him any pigs ears as treats anymore either? It's obvious he loves them cuz he inhales them practically without chewing. This could arguably cause him to choke and die.. Yep, irresponsible. sorry big dog,
besides, just because it appears you like them doesn't mean you do. We are just stoopid humans and can't possibly tell if you like something or not.

I call bullshit on dogs not metabolizing thc the same as other mammals, and also on 2 dogs dieing from marijuana overdose. As far as I know they have never induced a toxic dose of marijuana on any mammal and they have tried plenty of times. I'm about to go try on myself.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like there is far greater risk of your animal dying or being psychologically damaged from being spayed/neutered than from blowing cannabis smoke in their ear.

No, not everything in moderation. As a responsible care-giver, there are some things you should simply not be offering to your animal. I'm not saying I know for sure that cannabis is one of them, I'm just dismissing 'everything in moderation' as nonsense.
Further, you may not be too 'stoopid' to interpret your pet's likes and dislikes, but that doesn't mean you should give it something you know it likes irrespective of the potential hazard. If there is potential for your dog to choke on the size of the pigs' ears you feed it, you don't need to stop feeding it pigs' ears, instead maybe think about chopping them up into manageable pieces before giving them to your dog. Yeah, I'm way crazy.

lol, do you know why we give them pigs ears?? Cuz they chew and knaw on em cleaning their teeth
so obviously cutting them up is a dumb idea. You ever have a very large breed dog? They can gulp down like a pound of meat in one bite if they want.
it's ok tho, i'm not perfect either

Who the fuck is 'they'? There have been plenty of cases of pets getting sick and dying from ingesting cannabis and how they metabolize it is a medical fact, not just some pothead's opinion. I call bullshit on idiots who don't know what the hell they are talking about giving medical advice to people..

As far as for sick dogs, like my American Bulldog who is dying of cancer, some vet who are not biased against cannabis would actually recommend glycerin cannabis tincture instead of smoke or vape because it is easier to administer (just a drop on the tongue). But pretty expensive unless you can make it yourself. And it does help - increases appetite, better mood and more active. When I don't vape mine he just lays around all day and doesn't eat...

Sorry no, I do not know why you give pigs' ears to dogs. I don't own a large breed of dog, but mine gets dental chew toys. My bad. Still, if you give your animal something with potential hazards, no matter how harmless you might think it is, and your animal is harmed as a result, it's wholly your responsibility. Knowing that, I try not to expose my pets to harmful substances, but obviously some things are out of your control.
The OP asked if people should get their dogs high. You say yes, I say it seems pretty irresponsible under most circumstances. Tomato tomato.
I didn't suggest I was perfect, and I really dig your use of emoticons to give credence to your arguments.

so you think mary jane is a harmful substance????? What are you doing here then?
SunnyJim
Well-Known Member
I don't know if dispensing cannabis to a pet is harmful, so I choose to err on the side of caution. Is it fair to assume you don't think there is anything harmful whatsoever about 'mary jane'?
Of sound mind, I try to evaluate all the substances I consume. Some I know can be lethal, some I know are healthy, some are legal, some aren't. My pets, irrespective of how I perceive their enjoyment, aren't capable of evaluating some of the things they consume, and the effects those products have on them.
I'm quite certain, though, that it takes a genuine moron to suggest blowing smoke into a pet's face is sensible unless the pet is desperately ill, or terminal. I smoke knowing it's fucking stupid, but unfortunately I love it. My pets aren't aware of the risks involved, but since I am, I don't do it around them. It's one thing to pollute yourself, which everyone is free to do without judgement, but it's another to wilfully pollute a pet in your care. Others here have mentioned administering cannabis products to a pet through vapor, medibles, and oils. I'm happy to listen to arguments in favour of those methods, because there aren't any carcinogens involved, although I would still take a lot of convincing.
I get it though, you think it's cool. You've made your point.
