I'm gettin' stoned with my cat.

I love my Lola. I lit up a joint, she ran into the room, jumped on my lap, she meowed, and touched my nose with her paw. I blew the smoke in her face, she closed her eyes, and breathed it in. I think I even heard her sigh with contentment afterwards. I just love my sweet kitty cat. :love:

Do you guys get high with your pets?

 

My old cat used to do that same thing. And when me and my buddy hot boxed his car he'd always climb in the sunroof. lol

 

my golden retriever. hes about 10 months old. constantly energetic. but hes more mellow when hes around when we toke up. its funny what green does to you...

 

I got high with my cat, but she used catnip.

I don't like giving animals marijuana much, even though I did in yesteryear.

 

My cat is a little off. She just sits on her catnip. She doesn't eat it or roll around in it.

 

^ too used to the real thing, eh?

My one cat loves to lay on it, but she still gets a good sniff in somehow.
She's actually rather addicted. =/

 

Sometimes I use my aquarium as a bong.. my fish get pretty high.

 

You're smoking fish waste, you know that right?

 

Fish waste gets you high as fuck, brah. :afro:

 

one cat likes it, but only if its a fresh bowl. the other cat is not a fan, so i dont blow it at him.

 

Your signature is too long brah. it adds like... two extra scroll wheel rotations... fuck man you're working me to death. And frodo's a chode-o

 

I was just waiting for the complaint..

 

aw shit im sorry. i RUINED IT *runs off crying*

 

“Hey—let’s get the dog stoned!”

You’ve heard it before. Hell, you might’ve even been the one who said it—at a party, or when you were bored with some friends, or maybe when it was just you and your pet and you didn’t want to smoke alone.

Whether it’s a dog, a cat, a hamster or a long-haired chinchilla, the fact is that people seem to like the idea of getting animals high. And why not? It’s not a malicious act—most times it comes from kind intentions: wanting to share with your furry (or scaly, or feathery) friend that which gives you such great pleasure.

But maybe giving reefer to Rover isn’t as good an idea as you think. Before you presume to know or dismiss the effects of pot on your pet, ask yourself these questions: Which stoner symptoms transfer over from man to beast? Do you know what to do if your dog eats an entire baggie of marijuana? And what of the ethical responsibility of owning and caring for another living being?

To understand the effects of THC on animals, we first must understand its effects on humans. THC works by attaching itself to specific receptors in the brain, which exist specifically to receive cannabinoids. The body naturally produces its own cannabinoids (called endocannabinoids) at specific times, which scientists suspect help to regulate pain relief and/or memory. Since THC and endocannabinoids share almost the same molecular structure, they can both connect to cannabinoid receptors, and thus both produce a “high” effect. Most living things possess cannabinoid receptors—including invertebrates.

This is important for two reasons: First, it means these receptors have survived at least 500 million years of evolution (dating back to the time when vertebrates and invertebrates split), implying that the function of these cannabinoids is pretty damn important; and second, it means that most everything alive can get stoned—even something as simple as a slug.

 

i dont think its groovy to force an animal to get high, and my cat (the first mentioned, is an orange tabby ive had for 6 years) comes to me, and then simply turns the other way when hes done. he still sits close so i can pet him.

life is life. getting an animal high is probably one of the least bad bad decisions you can make, if it is a bad decision. but a bad decision is usually only discovered after the consequences are known, ie, your baggie of weed got stuck in the dogs intestines and either killed it, or cost you a lot of money to fix.
at the same time, you get a pet with the knowledge (however unacknowledged) that you will probably see its death. they are pets, we (most people) love them, and we raise them the way we think is best. just like kids. you, as the pet parent, have to make the choices you can live with with little to no regret. sometimes bad things happen to those we love, but thats life, and life is harsh. if a vacant lot of marijuana catches fire, the animals downwind get high. probably run from the fire, but its not as though a furry creature could not possibly get stoned in the wild. and every furry creature is different. if my cat wasnt interested he wouldnt come get high with me.

so i think you should make personal decisions that you can live with, and love your pets in your way, as long as its consensual. my cat wont eat tuna, and doesnt like crappy weed. he knows what he wants. and im ok with that.

 

2 out of my 6 cats choose to get high. They come and seek out the smoke/session, just like with the OP's. We never, ever force it on our cats.

 

when the room gets hot boxed the dog wants to go... he prefers edibles.. i dont let my dog get to intoxicated very often....

 

My cat used to beg for it, but watching her high scares me too much. She's always fine, but the way she gets all lethargic and lazy freaks me out. So I don't smoke in the same room as the cats.

 

Yes I know cats that love it so much they`d do anything to get smoked at
Sometimes when working with farm animals it helps a lot to get them smoked lol

 

My cats don't really care one way or the other when I'm smoking but they will usually relocate to another room if the smoke gets too near. I never deliberately blow smoke at him, but if Blackbeard is sitting on the window and I'm blowing the smoke out he'll take a few whiffs and make a disgusted looking face and run away. But he always comes back a few minutes later purring and rolling around wanting to get scritchies. Normally he has a chip on his shoulder and is not affectionate but I definitely think he gets loved up from the bud.

Although it would be cool to see a stoned rat I would never smoke near my rats. Their lil respiratory systems are just too sensitive and I'd be afraid it would elevate their already high heartrate too much...
