Cannabis for your pets..

I'm hoping to get some input on this one.. I am wondering if anyone has medicated their pets to relieve chronic pain, cancer or other issues.

I am wondering what the dosage would be and the best way to deliver. I am thinking this could really help a lot of of four legged friends.

Last year when I got back from amsterdam I brougt back 2g of maroc hash, my dog stole it off the table before I got to even roll a J, he was ill being sick and falling about all over the place for almost 2 full days, so in my opinion cannabis and dogs dont mix well.
If fairness now he dont go near my hash or weed think the experience put him off so if he smells it now he fucks off into another room lol,

Please don't, especially cats.
Dosage, some 30x less than a human (with no tolerance)

We just had a cancer scare. Turned out to be all benign. Removed his spleen though.

Got some good info here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/healingpets/ (have to request to join)

Dogs don't need canabniods to be decarbed for them to feel the effects. It's why your dog can get fucked up off eating raw weed or hash.

Vets will tell you it's toxic to dogs but that is only because that is what they are told to say because of all the ignorance around it. Just like a human, it would take A LOT of weed to poison or harm an animal. That said, be careful and gentile with dosing.

The biggest issue is the same one you have with pain meds or anesthesia. They can hurt themselves due to the side effects(walking down steps for example). Also, the animal doesn't understand why they feel the way they do, so it can make them anxious or whatever.

It looks like a k2 etc overdose as its a more potent agonist. I've personally seen the classic dribble (peeing all over the place) all the way to the full agonist seizures and such
On doses smaller than I would even feel effects

Funny ass story for y'all.

About a month ago, 5am, the alarm goes off, the ole lady jumps, her shihtzu gets knocked off the couch, hits the coffee table, and the dog and a big ass heavy glass ashtray then hits the floor.

I get up, get in the shower, the ole lady lets the dog out and makes coffee. I get out of the shower to my wife crying and saying that the dog is dying. He was laying under the deck and wasn't moving, could barely pick his head up.

The ole lady crawled under the deck, pulled him out and carried him inside. We were thinking that the heavy ass ashtray might have landed on his little head and screwed him up.

I sat him on the kitchen table to check him out, he fell over. He couldn't sit up. Tried to stand him up and he walk in circles before falling over.

We found a 24he emergency vet in the phone book and took him up there. The vet took him in the back to do her assessment. A few minutes later the receptionist came in with a billing agreement, blood work, xrays, medication, vet stay and vet costs, total $1200!!

I looked at the ole lady and told her I have a 25cent bullet at home. The receptionist said she would give us a minute to talk about it and left. The ole lady said that I would have to let my daughter spend time with him first. I agreed and walked outside to smoke a cigarette.

I walked back inside to see my wife standing there with a look of disbelief. She then proceeds to tell what happened.

The vet: "ma'am, could your dog have gotten into anything?"

The wife: "I have thought about that, I cleaned last night and wondered if he got into my bleach water. He also went into the neighbors yard last night, he sprays his yard with chemicals."

The vet: "No, this would be more recent, like maybe a half hour before the symptoms."

The wife: "no, I don't think so."

The vet: "Well we don't report these things but he acts like he ate some marijuana."

The wife: "..............."

It cost me $110 to find out my dog was stoned!!

We got back home and sure enough, we have a dinner plate that we use to deseed and stem our swag, had over an 1/8 of seeds, stems and shake on this plate, licked clean!!

Took him 2 days to get back to his retarded self. Best thing is, I have laid some bud out for him, he wants absolutely nothing to do with it now!

Pretty fair articles...

I should also say I've never given my dog cannabis other than a couple times he ate some roaches. He's 70lbs and did get wobbly and drooly for a few hours.

Cannabis has the potential to completely replace dangerous Rimadyl, which terrifies the veterinary medicine marketers. Cannabis is far safer for arthritic dogs than anything else on the market.

Hey tramadol's pretty delicious..
Just saying

Its a lot easier to get a dog to take cannabis infused butter than it is to get a pill down them. The main risk to dogs with infused oils is that they will eat too much and get pancreatitis.
In dogs, tramadol is not metabolized into an opiate, thereby leading to questions of if it even provides pain control.

Oh it provides relief, obvious visually and through vitals.
I thoroughly enjoy its antidepressant qualities myself

As to cannabis, can you accurately dose ~1 mg? Most cant

Properly made and activated oil or tincture can easily be dosed...



Bout to eat this .5 btw, lol

Lol??
I said 1mg??
Not 500, try again.. like all drugs that can be dosed in MCG, fentanyl LSD etc, it can be very tricky. and I said most

I could take 0.1 out of this syringe and emulsify it and create 100 - 1mg pills. 100mg bho in 1000mg coconut oil, each pill is 10mg.

Or I could take a 1oz - 100mg Dixie tincture dropper bottle and create 100 doses, I guess this one is a lil harder to do. 0.3ml would be 1mg, so you could dilute it further I suppose then dose.But would be better off just making 10oz of tincture out of 100mg yourself then dose out 100 - 3ml pills.

Or I could just go buy 5mg or 10mg 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 8:5, whatever CBD:THC pre-made pills. It's not like 2-5mg thc is going to even effect an animal anyway.

Edited cuz I'm dumb and off by 10x on my numbers. Doing math high is hard, lol.

"It's not like 2-5mg thc is going to even effect an animal anyway"

300 mg will do me right ("patients" with no tolerance often take but 100mg) Divide that by 30 and you get 10mg. In my first post I said especially cats. You know any 200lb cats? Now divide 10 by 10 for a 20lb cat
1mg will fuck up a cat....
Again I've personally seen od's

Back in the 70's I thought it was funny to dose my dog. She got red eyes, couldn't stand up, and was pretty fucked up for a day and a half. A lot of substances affect animals differently than they do people. (Chocolate can kill your dog). Your animal is dependent on your for its care & well being. Weed is for people. Take your animal to a vet.

Weed should be for any animal that can benefit from it. Cannabis has been used in veterinary medicine for centuries. A narrow view of the benefits of cannabis leaves the entire veterinary market to big pharma. Horses have historically shown significant benefit from hemp preparations. Think of the possibilities on chicken farms, as hemp seed could encourage feeding and weight gain (as it traditionally did in canaries, till they took it out of birdseed) The greatest benefit could be seen on hog operations. In pigs, the calming effects of cannabis could help prevent stress induced swine scours, a common cause of death in weaning. Weed is not just for people. In hog and chicken farms, it could replace the antibiotics currently used to encourage weight gain, and help halt the development of drug resistant infections.

Somebody needs to get with the research, there is big money waiting.

I know a lady who doesnt smoke but has a dealer just for her dog. It was having multiple seizures a day and the meds were making it worse she heard of pot for dogs and gave it a try . She buys him a qt a month and mixes a little with its dog food . Its an old sick dog but every night she says after dinner hes just a big puppy again and he plays and everything also only has a few seizures a month now as opposed to 3 a day

My dogs LOVE fresh marijuana plants, my biggest ripped out a big plant and was just munching and tearing it up... he got into BIG trouble for that one.... both of the pitbulls chewed up the stems, loved them.... they had no ill effects. I often give them 1/4 tsp canna butter in their food at night, the big one has seizures and the little one has allergies... it seems to help...
