Pot is Toxic to Cats

Seems like a BS story... How can a cat get high from plant material that isn't decarboxylated?
Unless you sprayed something nasty on the plants...

What the fuck is "decarboxylated".
Speak English.
Anyway, no pesticides or sprays, only 4 week bloom trichs from my Blueberry and Power Plants, which would probably beat your herb to death
:)
Oh, it's a true story.

Looking beyond anecdotal evidence, to the Journal of Veterinary and Human Toxicology:
“The marijuana ingested ranged from 1/2 to 90 g,” the scientists wrote. “The lowest dose at which signs [of distress] occurred was 84.7 mg/kg and the highest reported dose was 26.8 g/kg.” They found that even with a dog eating almost an ounce of ganja per kilogram of its weight, “All followed animals made full recoveries.”

So yes, an extreme amount.

From the article you quoted:
"Management consisted of decontamination, sedation (with diazepam as drug of choice), fluid therapy, thermoregulation and general supportive care..."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14748410

Dogs are not a homogeneous population and cats tend to be much smaller on the average. To know that, on average, a dog survives does not extrapolate to all dogs and cats survive. Further you want to look at boundary conditions where the exceptions tend to occur. The study abstract I read did not describe their domain so generalizing would be risky from lack of data. We are not discussing a typical 20-30 lb dog but a cat. Felines on average tend to weigh much less than the average dog. Further between 2002 and today most cultivated Cannabis has become more potent.

The smaller the animal the more trouble with thermoregulation. Because of easier loss of core temperature compare it to a body of water. The larger the body of water the more resistant to temperature alteration. Once your core temperature dips significantly and I don't know what that is for felines you begin to have cardiac arrhythmias. As the article stated they required supportive care.

Decarboxylating, or decarbing, weed is the process of utilizing heat to turn the acid forms of cannabinoids in raw marijuana into their bio-available counterparts (i.e. thc-v into thc). This happens automatically when we smoke or vape because we are supplying the heat. When ingesting the weed, we want to turn most of the acid forms into forms the body can easily use to get a stronger high. Check it -

See, I knew this thread would be worth something.
Thanks for the info, I learned something today, which is a nice thing :)
