i had to quit smokin cigs in my own damn apt when i got my dog because he would huff and puff and throw lil fits from the smoke... so i respected him and stopped smoking cigs.. i still smoke pot in my apt obviously.. cant wak outside with a bong everytime i want a hit... but yea.. i do not agree with getting your pets high... they cannot "choose" whether or not to get high.. and you cannot rightful decide if thats what they really want... since no one speaks "dog" on a side note.. i totally lawled at the moron that called green a troll... haha almost 7000 posts.. yea that definitely makes you a troll green
but if you read through this thread, an astonishing amount of people say their pets aren't only willing, but they come running from afar when they smell it, then they get high, all of their own volition. seems to me like these pets are making their own choices.
my friends dogs come running for it but my dog runs from it.i figure she dont like it so i wont force her to breathe it in.
dogs run out into the street all the time and get hit by cars too.. does that mean they wanted to die?
I don't think that's a very good comparison. they don't run out in the street expecting to be killed. but they do run to the smoke expecting to get high.
Now were a animal behaviorist, animals do stupid things, Like smoking pot is a stupid thing humans do.. Animals dont set fires to stuff and inhale it:banghead:
wow.. obviously you are a well rounded in veterinary medicines... could you please post pictures of all your certificates and credentials relating to these studies?
I want to Point out smudging your pets with herds inteded for spiritual reasons is alright by me, But I higly doubt some poeple understood that.. http://www.psyeta.org/sa/sa1.1/lawrence.html
obviously you are far more emotionally invested in this issue than I am. I just don't see the harm in smoking up a pet when it clearly enjoys it and comes to get a taste of the smoke, and I don't think your comparison was at all fair. it goes to reason that an animal running out into the street, getting hit by a car and killed, did not realize the consequence of running into the street could be death. whereas these pets have clearly been high before, and have experienced and enjoyed the consequences of getting high. I take it you have some professional experience with animals, then?
well, it understands the immediate consequence, which is that it gets high. but I'm sure you're talking about negative effects from long term smoke inhalation, which it most likely wouldn't know or care about. (of course, I am not a professional, so correct me if I'm wrong here) this discussion seems to have degenerated into little more than insult flinging and snide remarks, so I think I will leave it alone for now.
haha just think about what you said. jokers comparison was very good indeed. maybe they want to be petted? and all of a sudden they have some punk blowing smoke into theyre face, and maybe, just maybe they continue to stay near in hoped of still getting petted after the fucking about is done. anyway is there even any scientific evidence to prove dogs and cats... or even for the matter ''tweaker hamsters'' have thc receptors??
Studies on the agonistic activity of delta 9-11-tetrahydrocannabinol in mice, dogs and rhesus monkeys and its interactions with delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The present studies examine some of the pharmacological effects of delta-9 (11)-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-11-THC), an analog of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta 9-THC). In tests with mice, delta 9-11-THC was similar to but less potent than delta 9-THC in producing hypothermia, analgesia, lethality and in reducing spontaneous activity. In dogs delta 9-THC but not delta 9-11-THC produced classical cannabimimetic signs including static ataxia, hyperreflexia, prancing and tail-tuck. delta 9-11-THC did produce central nervous system depression in 9 of the 15 dogs tested but the effects were not dose-related and appeared earlier and dissipated faster than the depressive effects induced by delta 9-THC. delta 9-THC but not delta 9-11-THC produced signs of ptosis, sedation and ataxia in rhesus monkeys. delta 9-THC also suppressed operant responding completely in four of four monkeys tested whereas in one monkey delta 9-11-THC did not do so up to doses as high as 5.0 mg/kg and was 8 to 100 times less potent in doing so in the other monkeys. When monkeys were pretreated with delta 9-11-THC the doses of delta 9-THC required to produce ptosis, sedation, ataxia and operant suppression were increased. However, when mice and dogs were pretreated with delta 9-11-THC the effects of delta 9-THC were not attenuated and usually were enhanced. The pharmacological profile of delta 9-11-THC is unusual in that it seems to have cannabimimetic activity in mice, noncannabimimetic-like effects in dogs and is perhaps devoid of cannabimimetic effects in rhesus monkeys. In addition, pretreatment with delta 9-11-THC attenuates the cannabimimetic effects of delta 9-THC in rhesus monkeys but not in mice or dogs.
