Smoking weed legally: A review of five years of cannabis legalization in Canada – Health

Did Canadian veterinarians realize that the consequences of cannabis legalization would extend so clearly into their consulting rooms? More and more cats, iguanas, ferrets, cockatoos, horses and especially dogs were brought to them with their owners’ accidentally eaten marijuana supplies in their bellies. The doctors were then able to experience what a poodle looks like on marijuana: “The symptoms ranged from urinary incontinence, in which the animal pees everywhere, to ataxia, i.e. movement-related problems, to hyperesthesia, in which the animals show increased sensory sensitivity “Jibran Khokhar from the Ontario Veterinary College told Canadian media. He learned in a survey of nearly 200 Canadian veterinarians that they were seeing more cannabis emergencies in animals since the drug was legalized five years ago.
