Animals and Marijuana don't mix
Marijuana is a people drug not a pet drug.
There seems to be much controversy around whether it is safe to give animals the drug. But when in doubt don't. Even if it does help somewhat in some cases, while killing pain it also puts the animal in a confusing and scary condition. Have you ever had chemotherapy? It's like that apparently. More and more veterinarians are reporting poisonings. Marijuana in the 'raw' form is extremely toxic to animals Some tinctures may help but must be closely monitored. I noticed that many people were giving their pets the 'hail Mary' meds, supposedly more comfortably prolonging an impending painful death for a few weeks. But who is that prolonging for? The owner or the animal? I say take a toke (if you must) and then bring it to the vet for a humane euthanasia before it suffers a few more weeks of not only pain but also confusion and certainly discomfort from the effects of the marijuana.
