My dog has cancer and is going to have her first chemo treatment tomorrow- I've read that chemo causes vomiting and all sorts of bad stuff, and i know that marijuana helps human chemo patients- do you think weed will help my dog?

also, do you think I could just mix some weed in her food or would I have to cook it?

You would probably have to cook it, but since cooked weed gives you a much more intense high, it may turn out bad, considering she's a dog. I'd suggest just blowing a couple of uninhaled hits into her mouth.

I would make weed butter and give it a little butter with a meal.


However, i have no idea if marijuana will be an effective medicine for your dog, it is probably best just to give it what the vet tells you to.

Only if you want her dead. Marijuana is highly toxic for canines:

The plant’s effect on canines is considerably less benign. Even a few grams can cause staggering, vomiting, urinary incontinence and, in severe cases, seizures and coma.

Yup, my sisters dog had glaucoma and she gave him a very small piece of a cookie and we thought it would be a small effect on him but he ended up staggering and vomited once.

Although she continued to blow one puff at him day and night she was able to keep his eye or at least prevent some loss because it was too late to start PetMeds for him.

Although I dont think giving him a very small piece of raw nug would hurt? what do you think buzzby?

I wouldn't perform potentially fatal experiments on my dog.

how come my dog ate a twenty sack of mids and was fine it didn't even seem to phase him this same dog also ate a whole sharpie once without a problem and It also ate rat turds that had been sprayed with bleach also not effected so Im just guessing this dog has some kind of iron stomach like those people who eat glass but I have heard of other dogs eating pretty large amounts and going throught it buzzby would you mind posting a link to that info on the effects of it on canines

I'll tell you how I found it: a Google search on "dogs marijuana toxicity". You'll get lots of useful hits.

I appreciate what you're trying to do in educating people about the hazards that pets face when ingesting chemicals that aren't meant for them. These people ACT like they care about their pets but in reality, they don't give a shit about the animal.

Thank you for putting a little clarity to this thread. MJ may be okay for people but that doesn't apply to other species. Chocolate is the same way. Okay for people but not pets.
