I would say dogs and pot is ok. Some animals prefer it over others, just like some humans prefer it over others. As an experiment, get stoned in the same room as your dog or cat and blow several good hits on them. Let them leave and go about their business. Then wait a while, and smoke in another room by yourself. You'll know if your pet is a stoner if it follows you in. If they do follow you in, I'd assume they like it and it's ok to get them high. But then again like I said, it varies from dog to dog, cat to cat. 2 things to always remember are : Never force animals to get high. And don't get puppies or kittens high, as it will make them grow up skittish and crazy. I've seen it happen more than once personally.

What is a 'lethal' amount... 2 pounds??? ¿
a bud or 2 doesn't consider lethal.

A little 4 lb pug ate two heavy indica edibles, made with two grams each.... so she basically ate one gram per lb of body weight...
The vet tech said that although she looked a little rough, it was actually a pretty mild case... he said if it was his dog he would pass on the charcoal treatments ($100) and kept an eye on her that night.

That is 1 gram per lb of dog... If that was a mild case... im wondering what this vet tech has seen... she couldn't even walk.

The other dog I saw was 35-45lbs. He ate about the same. He could still walk around, unlike the pug. He looked and sounded pretty uncomfortable though. He was rolling on his back and pissing on himself. My buddy didn't take him to the vet, he was fine the next day. It was sad though. Rio is a soft, sweet pit mix. He's like a baby. He looked very very sad that night.
That was about 1 gram per 10lbs body weight.

A previous poster said 2 grams could kill a dog... I find that very very very unlikely. If a 4 lb pug ate 4 grams and the vet tech said it was a "mild case"... I would think a dog would need to eat several grams per 1lb of body weight before it becomes a medical emergency.

But you know, everyone reacts differently. I'm sure dogs are the same. i have one friend that can eat 2 grams and go out for the night... I can eat about 1/4 - 1/3 gram and have people calling me Cheech all night. 1 gram puts me in the fetal position for hours.

Dogs don't have cannabinoid receptors in their brain like we do. The lethargy and strange mood a canine exhibits after receiving a bong hit isn't the same as we experience. I can't get inside my pup's head to see if she's uncomfortable or not when I "get her high" so my preference is just not do it. All the dogs I've had over the years, however, have an affinity for pot plants.They love taking a romp through the garden, rubbing against the trees and gently gnawing.

Can you provide a source to back this up?

I imagine just a tiny hit making contact with their nose would just give them a buzzy relaxed feeling without crippling them and they could enjoy the effects.
I believe it's just the big hits that people blow into their dog's nose that fucks them up, and it's a tolerance thing.

i will never understand why the fuck people would ever give an animal any sort of drugs.. to me it's the same as drugging a child.. they have no choice in being drugged.. any loving pet is going to eat anything their owner puts in front of their face for the most part and trust it's owner not to hurt it..
secondly, how the fuck do you know a dog enjoys being stoned? simply for the fact that it lays around not moving for days at a time?? that's the most retarded answer i've ever heard..

please people, stop giving your pets drugs, how would you like to be shot up with heroin in your sleep?/ it's the same exact thing people.. these animals aren't making a choice to use..

' oh but my dog went into my pocket and ate my bud while i was upstairs, therefore he must enjoy it right??'
well shit, in that logic, my puppy ate my $125 sunpulse bulb while i was out.. she also ate my usb microscope and half a bag of mnm's, which the last one made her extremely sick and acting as if she had just smoked some crack...
animals can be rather stupid.. in the case of my dog, she'll eat anything i put in front of her face, that doesn't mean she likes it or it's good for her, it just means she is a piggly wiggly..

My 12 week old puppy fucking loves weed. She ate a peach canna-candy the other day with .5g in it. She threw up twice then was scared of the high for about an hour and then crashed for 2-4 hours. The next day she ate off my cork to my stash jar and proceeded with the goods.

took her to the vet and you know what he said, yah, it almost killed her, but you know what, she'd eat them again in a heart beat.. that's again b'cuz as smart as animals can be, at the same rate, they can also be idiots, they don't learn very quickly sometimes..

Medical info .....cannabis is not good for dogs or cats

http://drbarchas.com/marijuana

Overview

Marijuana intoxication may occur in pets that have access to marijuana plants, dried portions of the plants, or foodstuffs containing marijuana.
Serious long-term health consequences and fatality from marijuana intoxication are essentially unheard of. However, pets that are exposed to marijuana may display anxiety and disorientation, and are prone to "bad trips". Intoxicated pets may lack the coordination necessary to consume food and water.
Intoxication with marijuana appears clinically similar to other, more serious forms of poisoning. However, most animals recover from marijuana toxicity over a period of several hours.
Symptoms


  • Anxiety, panting, and agitation commonly occur following exposure to marijuana.
  • In some pets, marijuana toxicity results in profound lethargy that can border on unconsciousness.
  • Pets suffering from marijuana intoxication often show impaired balance. They may stagger, stumble, and fall attempting to walk.
  • Drooling, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur.
  • After exposure to marijuana, pets may lose bowel and bladder control. This results in house soiling (cats, dogs).
  • Extreme responses to noises, movements, and other forms of sensory stimulation may occur in pets that are exposed to marijuana. These responses can manifest astrembling or jerking of the head or extremities. In severe cases, the responses may appear similar to seizures.
Risk Factors and Prevention


  • The main risk factor is the presence of whole marijuana plants, dried plant parts, or foods containing marijuana in the pet's environment.
  • Deliberate exposure of pets to marijuana is not unheard of. People may intentionally feed marijuana to pets, or deliberately expose pets to marijuana smoke.
Complications

Long-term complications from exposure to marijuana are exceedingly rare. However, pets suffering from marijuana intoxication may injure themselves due to lack of coordination. Dehydration can result when pets are unable to consume water.
Diagnosis

In many cases, diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms in combination with known or potential exposure to marijuana.
In some instances, extensive diagnostic testing is performed to ensure that other, more serious forms of intoxication are not occurring.
Test kits designed to detect marijuana in the urine of humans may be used to diagnose marijuana intoxication in dogs and cats. This method of diagnosis has not been scientifically validated, but it appears to be accurate.
Treatment

The goal of treatment is to nurse the pet and prevent anxiety until the period of intoxication is complete. Noise and other sensory stimuli should be minimized. Some pets require sedatives or injections of fluids.
If a large quantity of marijuana is in a pet's stomach, the attending veterinarian may cause the pet to vomit.
Follow-up

Most cases of marijuana intoxication resolve over a period of 3 - 12 hours.
Miscellaneous

Because it is a controlled substance, people who know that their pet has consumed marijuana are often reluctant to reveal this fact to veterinarians. The symptoms of marijuana intoxication are similar to those of several more serious syndromes. If the veterinarian treating the pet is not aware of marijuana exposure, he or she is likely to recommend a number of expensive tests and treatments that may not be necessary.

In North America we drug our kids everyday, methylphenidate; and here's a great read from the FDA http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm143565.htm

for everyone on the no side, there is an equal proponent saying yes!

^^^^ that's idiotic. do U give dogs beer, onions, macadamia nuts, chocolate, artificial sweeteners, grapes-raisins and/or aspirin, too? B-cuz all of those are bad for dogs

Proof: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/stoner-dog-epidemic-sees-dramatic-rise-number-hospitalized-192636155.html

Colorado veterinarians have a message for medical marijuana users: Don't get your dog stoned. Marijuana is toxic in a dog's system, they say, and has even resulted in some canine deaths.
"There are huge spikes in the frequency of marijuana ingestion in places where it's become legal," veterinarian Dr. Debbie Van Pelt told local CBS affiliate WTSP. "They basically have lost a lot of their fine motor control, they have a wide-based stance and they are not sure on their feet."
Before medical marijuana was legalized in Colorado, local vets say they saw only a handful of cases of dogs exposed to the substance per year. But now, those numbers have more than quadrupled.
The vets say most of the dogs are getting high from medical marijuana edibles left out in the open by their owners. Marijuana edibles are cookies, brownies and other foods prepared with a butter laced with THC, the psychoactive ingredient in pot.
And while some pet owners may think it's funny to get their dogs high, the vets say pot is actually toxic to a dog's system. Cats are similarly vulnerable to negative effects from inhaling second-hand marijuana smoke or eating edibles. Cat experts say many owners inaccurately believe that marijuana will have a similar effect on their cats as catnip.
"I just want dogs, kids to be safe. It needs to be treated like any other drug. If you came home with a prescription of Vicodin from your doctor you wouldn't just leave it sitting there," veterinarian Stacy Meola told the station.
In fact, Dr. Meola said that two dogs recently died after ingesting a lethal amount of marijuana. Such deaths are rare, but even in cases in which a dog's life is not threatened, the dog may still be subjected to painful symptoms, including vomiting and even comas.

I'm not saying a person should go out and attempt to get their pets stoned but with that said...

Going to call bullshit on this article unless there's some scientific evidence backing it up. This was a horribly written story and jumped to far too many conclusions without providing any proof that it was actually the cannabis that killed the animals.

"they say" - Who says? You haven't quoted any sources yet at this point other than Colorado veterinarians. This statement suggests all Colorado veterinarians suggest that marijuana is toxic in a dogs system. Well, most people believe cannabis is an addictive gateway drug that's bad for humans. It's not a far stretch for these same people to believe it's bad for canines and felines as well.

These deaths (no specific numbers were given except for "more than quadruple of a handful", once again, awesome journalism) could very well have been caused by the other ingredients in the edibles. For instance, things that are actually known POISONS to dogs such as chocolate. I doubt very much it's the cannabis that is killing the dogs.

I was going to pick more areas to discuss but there were so many holes in this article it was getting old fast. Yahoo should be ashamed at having this so-called "journalist" on their staff. Journalism at its absolute worst.

It's all fun and games at first, but pretty soon your dog will be shooting heroin. Don't let him start down that path.
