San Francisco veterinarian Jill Chase had just finished hosting a birthday party for her son 10 years ago when her dog went limp. After investigating what might have caused the problem, she discovered the culprit: cannabis-infused butter that a neighbor had dumped in the garbage down the street. Her dog, a Tibetan terrier who was a habitual trash surfer, had eaten a large dose.

People who don't take care of their animals should not be allowed to have them. You let your dog roam free, you get what you deserve.

Come to think of it, I don’t recall Cheech and Chong ever having a dog.

And she's a veterinarian!

‘Cuz it would’ve been dead.

My impression is that they don’t enjoy the herb all that much.

Your dog gets what you deserve.

Dogs as with humans will eat copious quantities until sickness. My golden retreiver was proof.

not just dogs but CO has seen a big increase with kids having to be hospitalized because they too are getting high now.

Keep yer animal safe and within sight.

.you are not a responsible pet owner

Their trash is so green there, you could make salads out of it.

[Caipirabob]

Agreed. Its the same as if the dog had found chocolate or anti freeze fluid. The owner let the dog run wild and was irresponsible.

Maybe the “poisoning” of feral dogs is not an accident.

I had a dog back in the 60’s - 70’s that loved to eat pot. As we smoked the dubbie he’d sit and beg for the roach. Dog was such a bogart, one time he found my sister’s lid under the bed and ate it all. Oh yea, he got off.

I liked to smoke that stuff when I was younger. I left a baggie where our cocker spaniel could get it and when I came home, she was sick as a "dog", after consuming it all. She just laid around nodding.

She puked a big loaf of the green stuff. My friend took some time to pick through it! I hate to admit it, but I smoked it, too!

Our late, greatly missed Golden Retriever, Prior Lake Jake, loved his beer.
A can and a half was his limit. Then, a big snooze.

Don’t you remember the “This pot tastes like s**t/My poodle ate my stash” exchange? It was on their 1st or 2nd album.

“I followed that dog around for days!”

“No man... it’s mostly Maui Wowie but it does have some Labrador in it! He ate my stash man... had to follow that dog around with a baggie for three days”.
