    Just got back from the vet because my dog got into my roommates stash. Good news—she’s going to be fine, but she’s going to be deeply stoned for a long, long time.

      It takes a surprisingly large amount of weed to hit the LD50 point for dogs out turns out. Somewhere around 1 gram per pound of body weight.

      But yeah, they do not handle it well at all.

        Our vet said they have never lost a dog before to this, but it’s 12 hours later and she is still stoned.

          Once you have crossed a certain amount of ingested THC it only prolongs the effects but doesn’t make them stronger. I’ve heard of people being high for over 24 hours from a miscalculated edible dosage

            Either can make them very ill/cause death (in extremely high dosages), but the effects are different. Even if they don’t eat things with the THC psychoactive qualities having been unlocked from heat being applied, they can still “look” like they’re very stoned, when in fact, they’re just very, very sick.

            Dogs tend to hide all sick-like behaviors similarly. It’s just one of those evolutionary instinctual things they do to not show weakness that could get them removed from a pack (or so I’ve read).

      You should talk in a happy, but slow voice, and walk/move in slow motion. And get your room mate to do it too.
