      Am I missing something? I don’t see anything in there about smoking around your pet, just pets getting into edibles, eating concentrates or flowers, etc. Obviously you shouldn’t blow smoke in your pet’s face or hotbox with them, but I don’t see anything that suggests vaping or smoking with an air purifier running or a window open and not letting them access the weed itself is harmful for them.

        Right in the beginning, the article mentions that inhaling secondhand smoke can be bad for cats.

          I appreciate you not just being an “omg you didn’t read the article!!!” poster. And giving the info the op needed.

            People miss stuff when reading. I know I do. Also, it is potentially helpful information for cats, which I am not at all opposed to spreading.

          Thanks, I was looking under the section that lists cannabis products that are toxic to cats, which doesn’t mention secondhand smoke at all.

      Please reconsider spreading misinformation and half-truths; this only leads to fear-mongering and does not help anyone.

        Which can be different in differnet cats. Some barely react, others will roll around in a plant until it dies.

        Luck of the draw.

          Hilariously, my littermate cats are opposites, one doesn’t notice it at all, while his brother absolutely goes wild for the stuff. So cat 1 just sits there all judgmental watching cat 2 roll around

          There are two closely related species: Catnip (Nepeta cataria) and Catmint (N. racemosa). If your cat isn’t attracted to one, there’s a good chance they will be triggered by the other.

    Don’t smoke around your pets- it’s worse for their lungs.

    But like by all means smoke, just do it outside.

    Also I love cats

        People who have this take often feel similar about medicine, vaccines, etc. Natural remedies, essential oils, or just good old God is punishing you if you get sick. (A lot of them are hypocrites too, as they’ll drop some of this stuff to save their own lives).

        My worst nightmare is doing nothing.

        When I inevitably go to hell, I’ll be forced to sit in my bedroom and smoke pot all day.

            Likely true. But can they spend a quiet moment with themselves without pot?

            It’s all just coping mechanisms. To each their own.

              Fair but you seem to be making assumptions for all pot smokers. I use my dry herb vaporizers every night I get in bed and yet I’ll meditate when I’m sober and I would consider meditating having a quiet moment to yourself. Also what’s the point of that comment if your way to cope is keeping yourself busy 24/7 just to then say to each their own?

              You’re also saying this on a post that’s called “my weekends”. What’s wrong with getting baked on weekends? Reading this type of stuff about weed is so annoying cause it’s usually the people who never used it that are the quickest to judge and wouldn’t bat an eye to booze. Or they tried it, didn’t enjoy, and now make snarky remarks whenever they can towards it

                People like that are just a bunch of sore losers who don’t like other people enjoying themselves.
