How many tokes to get a cat high?

dude. all i have to say is that cats are fucking awesome, that i love pot, and that i'm on acid currently, but it's only because i ran out of bud and wanted something cool to do throughout the night. i'm getting a shitload of writing done and my guitar is sounding sweet. BY THE WAY, my kitty, Stormy, is right here in my lap!!

 

my dog is getting older and doesnt eat much she was also throwing up randomly semi frequently and difficulty going up stairs and shows swelling in her spine. The vet says its common with small breed dogs when they get old as they tend to eat less. They also said there is nothing to do but give her steroids which just makes her ignore whats happening. I was wondering if any of your cats or dogs eat more when stoned. I was thinking of doing this but am borderline on if I should get my dog high as she's so sweet and would not like to induce some kind of permanent personality change. did anyone notice this?

hah medical pet bud maybe there should be legislature legalizing this as we do for people. I'm thinking bud reduces pressure in joints etc. and helps arthritis etc. and would also act as a appetite stimulant.

 

Well, that's about one of the craziest things I've read in a long time.
What do you think cats' livers do for them?
Cats get high, but they prefer nip.
Dogs like beer.

And we like old, stale threads...

 

you shouldnt get your cat high
and if you think you have to blow smoke into the cats ear you REALLY shouldnt get your cat high

 

I think it would be perfectly alright to get your dog high. It would increase her appetite and if she is in pain from going up stairs and the such then it would help with that.

Dogs seem to be way more chill with pot than cats and I have never heard of a dog having permanent negative effects due to pot.

Also, pot will make your dog throw up much less. Many HIV patients smoke bud because it calms their stomach.

 

I'm wondering if all the people posting their opinions regarding the "evils" of kitties on drugs are vegetarians.

If someone is okay with having endless generations of (very often inhumanely housed) animals slaughtered so that they can heat their skin and flesh and then eat it, how could he or she possibly grumble about getting stoned with one?

Is smoking dope with someone (even an "unconsenting" someone) really THAT much worse than killing and consuming them?

Of course, many people feel differently about animals that are (within their own culture) traditionally kept as pets. They see them as more deserving of moral understanding than livestock animals. I think this is because owners anthropomorphosize their pets (they imagine that the animal(s) have human thoughts/perceptions/goals).

When speaking of consent, try to consider whether or not a pet consents to becoming a pet. Maybe it accepts its home now, but initially the animal had no choice in the matter. As someone else has mentioned re a cat's willingness to have tokes blown into its face, this willingness to remain in captivity is likely due to a developed dependence (actually, I think the theory fits better in my example).

The Jains (a religion that forbids the killing of insects) are the only people who see animals as sacred (or whatever) WITHOUT being selective about it. Most everyone else just speaks out against doing things that THEY consider unethical to animals which THEY consider attractive in appearance and/or mannerisms.

Obviously it's unprovable, but I think that wild cats are as happy in their environments as are domestic cats in theirs - quite possibly much more happy. In a very real sense, anthropomorphosizing an animal you keep captive is morally/psychologically comparable to slavery.

I'm just offering some alternative views. No offense is intended.

Guys lets use our heads now. Cannabis is NOT bad for cats or dogs, cats and dogs both have canibinoid receptors. I'de say animals can consent, if they stay near the smoking and want to inhale then it's alright. If they run away then don't force it. It's the same thing with humans.

 

you're an idiot. the active chemical in pot isn't psychologically addicting, numbskull.

 

i'm just curious, how is feeling like a pet is part of your family comparable to slavery? that's just absurd. isn't a pet just that, part of your family? therefore, wouldn't anthropomorphosizing it further make feel like a member of that family? i know i talk to my cat just like a person, and he responds in his own special little way. in fact, i'm told by my roommates that when i'm gone, he goes through seperation anxiety. now, does that sound like an animal kept against it's will, or an animal who loves his human(cuz, you know we don't own cats, right? they own us)?

 

If you think of something as being human and you possess it/house it against it's will, the comparison to slavery ought to be clear.

For example, imagine an adult pet cat or dog attempts to run away, off of it's owner's property, and the owner makes physical efforts to prevent it. If this animal is treated and considered, in effect, as a human - well, again, I think the basis for the slave comparison is crystal clear.

As I stated, there is also the matter of developed dependence. A human slave who was a slave from birth is much less likely to attempt escape than is a free-born slave. Unlike a free human, a wild cat, or a wolf, captive-born slaves and pets know only lives of captivity. They are resigned to unnatural life of enclosure - solely because their masters choose it to be so.

So to say that the animal wants/needs you may be true, but purely because such a life of dependence has been imposed upon it... by you.

Usually, the anthropomorphosized pet/slave comparison could only be made with regards to the kinder slave owners. The sort who would feed their slaves well and even allow them to participate in certain family gatherings, etc. But - make no mistake about it - we're not talking about equals, and it is very clear who is in charge (Garfield greeting card humour aside).

Perhaps he shouldn't have used the word psychological. But if you think pot isn't addictive to humans you're relatively inexperienced.

And in response to this VERY OLD thread...a mature adult never smokes out there pet (as in blowing it in their ear). The only exception would be in the case of a total F'ing idiot.

I say this out of experience. When I was maybe 18'ish, I did the exact same thing. When I was 25 I probably wouldn't have thought much different. Now that I'm older I realize that it's a stupid F'ing idea that only an immatue kid would do.

Keep in mind I'm calling myself out as much as anyone else. Trust me folks when you get in you late 30's+ you will agree with me 100%.

 

Maybe sooner. Id hope...
BTW the pics of pets stoned in my gallery are fake!!!!
The Chipmuck getting high is tricked into coming to the pipe with Peanut butter...
And Kermit, well hes real and can do what he wants... lol.

 

It is ridiculous to necessarily equate getting an animal high with hurting it. My cat goes nuts for catnip; he gets high as hell and it's fun for both of us. Especially because he's usually pissed off or bored because he isn't allowed outside anymore. He loves the smell of weed too (he goes crazy if I dangle a tree in front of his nose). It is bullshit that I am hurting him in any way, shape, or form with weed but not with catnip or vice versa.

I think when medical marijuana for pets is legalized, a LOT of animals are going to benefit greatly from having it available as treatment. So many painkillers provided to animals can make them sick or even push them over the edge and kill them if they're weakened. A cat or dog will not die from being treated with pot.

Btw, I don't think pot seeds have any THC in them, so I can't really see how a bird could get high from eating them.

 

dont do that...
imagine me popping out of the bushes, and blowing a shit load of yoppo up your nose!

just do one hit

 

i used to have a cat,(it was killed by dogs) and we didnt keep it against its will, we kept it outside its whole life. it coulda ran away whenever it wanted to, it knew how to hunt and fend for itself. but it liked us and always came back. and as for my dog, butch, he loved smoking weed, and would even get mad and paw at us if we didnt blow some his was. he would lap up the smoke from the air like he was drinking it in. also, after i started smoking with my dog he developed a stronger relationship with me, and he respected me more. i think it kept him alive for a while longer, cause before he died i hadnt smoked with him for a few months.

 

thats not even my ip address grandbaby

 

Thankfully it doesn't take that long for all of us. The first year I started smoking I used to get my rabbit high, then later that year when I chose to stop smoking my father forced me to smoke pot against my will, and ever since that experience I would NEVER ever get any person or any animal high without their consent. It's like slipping someone a fucking roofie. They can't say no, but they have to endure the effects and consequences anyways. (though it wouldn't surprise me if all the idiots that get their pets high think that would be a great fun idea too!)

 

i agree please people don`t get your pets high.

 

Getting your pets high is not right. Your cat has no idea what you are doing to it, so it is NOT consent.

Also to the people who talk about feeding their birds seeds, you are probably misinformed. There isn't any THC in the seeds, only extremely small traces, which I doubt is hardly enough to make your little pecker high.

 

i only got my cat high once, it ate a can of cat food and went to sleep.....wait maybe i didnt get it high it does that shit anyway. lol i love cats!
