animals on psychadelics

wow really, i was wondering my cat was acting funny last night but i figured it was cause the meat i gave her or something. i had my shrooms stashed on top of my cpu box but under my desk, and went to look for them one night and they were on the ground instead, and the bag had started to open, and my kitten did basically the same things yours did, to a very lesser extent, chasing things that werent there, running all over my room jumping up and all around my bed very quickly, and being very hyper and excited overall.

thats cool how you did that experiment though

 

ooooooooh how I'd love to be one of syd's cats... aawwweeaaaaargh...:S :S

 

A friend of mine in Wilmington, NC ended up losing 14 hits of acid to his cat once upon a time... man... it sucked for him, but he said the cat was off in outter space the rest of her life. She was crazy as shit when I saw her (about a week or so after he lost his cid), and she just died about a year later in a car accident, but she had a kitten that was named Tweak 'cause he always looked tweaked out. Same symptoms as what was described earlier, but there is no doubt in my mind that the poor cat has done more drugs than most people on this site, knowing those people out there. I don't think they ever did anything intentionally other than blow some smoke in the cat's face to calm it down a bit, but man... that is one STRANGE cat from a MUCH stranger mama!

"One CAT gathers what another man spills," I guess....

 

a friend of mine has a dog that ate a bunch of wild mushrooms and was totally tripping all day, staring at the wall and falling over and stuff

 

i'd like to see reference to these two cats feds LSD on cheese

 

Thats definitely mean...I was watching my parents dog once and it ate a fair amount of hash...I'm not sure if it was my imagination or not, but he was acting REALLY weird. I tried to give him a bone and he just stood there looking at me with the bone in his mouth like he forgot what to do with it.


It made me pretty panicky.

 

reference? There is no source of reference for this particular example other than from my own personal notes as I witnessed and oversaw the entire process. I could refer you to the rest of my notes on the matter, however, I have yet to publish my findings anywhere else.

 

i was staying in asheville, nc this summer and one of the people i was staying with gave his dog 3 hits of acid, the dog was definatly trippin (as anyone would i suppose) he seemed back to baseline though next week.

atleast he finally got to see colors

 

If you really want some information about how animals react there is a whole book about the topic called Animals and Psychedelics by Giorgio Samorini.

 

thats funny because one of my friends dog ate my chocolate bar right off the table...he was freaking out all night i felt so bad

 

i guess animals are like us in that they are all individuals, what kind of environment was the dog in?

 

My friends made this weekend a cat stoned for 3 or 4 times ....the cat was really nervous ....it´s tail went around and around ... he aet like crazy and tried to bite and scratch people it was really fun to watch the cat ...but I really think that giving drugs to animals is really sick and twisted thing to do

 

Giving drugs to animals is only sick and twisted if the animal obviously does not enjoy it and even tries to hurt itself and others such as the cat you talked about. Some animals love to get fucked up. In fact, my best friends boyfriend feeds his cat schwag and the cat absolutely loves it. He will even put the food bowl where the cat can barely reach it and the cat will use his paws to pull it out from the hiding spot. If an animal doesn't respond well the first time and hated its experience (i.e. you force it on them) then yes you can consider it animal abuse. But to say that giving drugs to animals is flat out sick and twisted then you are very narrow minded.

 

Animals don't even seem to need it. They get off on the vibes. In 1970, I had a Sunday morning job washing cows on a dairy farm, and once when I showed up tripping, the cows seemed to be kicking up more of a ruckus than usual. At the end of one side of the barn, a calf was kept in a separate pen. As I passed it, I could have sworn it said, "Oh wow!"

 

They were not only given LSD, but also nicotine, caffeine and thc.
What really surprises me, is that caffeine had the most disturbing effect on the ability to contruct the webs.

 

Where did you read that? Reminds me of "Alice in wonderland"...

 

Recommended book on the topic:

"Drugs - the search for the artificial paradise" (or something like that; I don´t know the exact original title, have only read it in german...) by Ronald K. Siegel.

It contains lots of reports how animals use drugs for special purposes.
Tons of interesting info (or did you for example know, that the terminus "Dream Factory" as a synonyme for "Hollywood" refers to the fact, that native indians in this area watched birds eating berries of the holy and getting high from it, then tried it themselves and named the holy-woods "the place where dreams come true"?).

 

one of my cats goes crazy if i get her high i'll get her high then give her cat nip and she starts rolling around drooling all over her self, it's kind of nasty but it cracks me up... and she always gets cotton mouth and she'll freak until i give her water... but i'd be too afraid to give my cats anything to trip off of cause if something happened i would hate myself forever...

 

elephants drink fermented fruits, and become alcoholics if they loose their life partner or whatever you would call it
i think flies do this too
deer eat magic mushrooms
there was a lot more i forget, its all in a book i have laying around here

 

I remember reading about some wild grass that contains DMT, and how these horses were eating them and becoming incredibly stupid.
