vagaries

I'll pretend your choice of words isn't low-key confrontational and dismissive like every other comment on this site. I also hope that you're replying in good faith and not just mocking me because you're clinging to what you want to believe, and that I'm not the anti-pot boogeyman for replying with what you asked. We're adults, right.

But I have some questions.

How are the pharmacokinetics not relevant to the conversation? Maybe to someone who knows pharma. But for everyone else, this is the context needed to realize how vastly different metabolic and physiological differences affect other species so that they don't mistake thinking that "ultra-mega-concentrates" like you said are the only way to cause harm because that's how humans behave. That tells me that you either don't know much pharma or you're vastly underplaying the effects, so I had to reel it in.

Also, just because I asked Consensus doesn't devalue the research. Everything links back to the abstracts so please focus on those or link to your own. I know AI hate is wild here but, in this case, it's accurate.

One of the hallmarks of drug poisoning is literally breathing suppression and hypothermia. When was the last time you felt that smoking pot? Are these symptoms not valid, do you have some other insight, or what's going on?

evidence you posted supports my claims that it behaves pretty much the same way it does in humans

Read carefully. It does not.

dosages should be adjusted for the body weight of a cat

And how will you do that? There's no therapeutic index. Not a single longitudinal study of cannabis consumption exists for pets to say that a few blows in their face depending on your mood that day won't cause long-lasting harm. You're gambling your cat's health. As they say, lack of evidence is not evidence of absence. The first case is a great example of a cat showing extended periods of altered state far longer than they last in a human. It's one night of rest for you vs two weeks of recovery for that cat at the vet, and that's just an acute intoxication. And the fact that acute intoxication was even achieved in a cat is a clear sign there's a lower tolerance for them.

And I will add that I find it contradictory that you demand evidence but simultaneously expose your pets despite the evidence and lack thereof.

So, two things unrelated to the actual topic being discussed.

I’ll pretend your choice of words isn’t low-key confrontational and dismissive like every other comment on this site

It's entirely possible to be correct and do it in such a way that invites confrontation and dismissal.

If it seems like everyone apart from you is confrontational and dismissive, perhaps it's time to consider additional perspectives on why that might be happening.

Because stoners are basically a cult at this point, and refuse anything even as remotely negative as "it's not good for your cats?"

To be clear, I smoke most nights... but god damn do I hate people who feel the need to defend weed against everything. It's a drug, y'all. It's not good for you.

I mean, i specifically stated it wasn't related to the actual topic being discussed, but i can address this anyway i suppose.

Possibly culty i suppose, about the same amount as alcohol consumers, smokers, people who see chiropractors etc.

Less than people in organised religion ( big cults ), actual cults and MLM schemes.

If all of the stoners you know are your definition of culty ( except you of course ), perhaps consider that it's your choice in acquaintances rather than an entire demographic.

Can't say i care either way, but i'd be interested in any studies you might have on the subject ( belief systems of stoners in general, not specifically the ones you know ofc, that would be unlikely )

To be clear, I smoke most nights… but god damn do I hate people who feel the need to defend weed against everything.

If that personal preference works for you, who am i to tell you you're wrong.

It’s a drug, y’all. It’s not good for you.

Drug doesn't automatically imply harm, but i think i know what you mean.
