I (22M) live with my roommate and his very curious cat, Pickles. Pickles likes to sniff everything, including food that isn’t hers. Last weekend, I left a brownie out while gaming with some friends. Not just any brownie. That kind.
I forgot it on the coffee table. Went to the bathroom. Came back, and Pickles had devoured half of it.
Cue the panic.
We rushed her to the emergency vet. I was horrified. I cried in the car the whole way. The vet said she’d be okay, just really, really stoned. They kept her overnight for observation. She came home the next day, walked sideways for hours, and meowed like she was delivering Shakespearean monologues.
My roommate was pissed but relieved she was okay. I paid the $400 vet bill and now store all snacks on the top shelf in a sealed container.
Pickles now stares at me like she knows something I don’t.
TL;DR: My roommate’s cat ate my weed brownie, got high as a kite, and needed emergency care. She’s fine now but judges me daily.

The dog got into my desk drawer and ate a rice crispy edible I got from a friend of a friend.
He was zooted for like 3 days. He’s never been so chill. The dude went out to pee and didn’t even lift his leg, just kind of stood there looking confused while peeing.
You can’t die from weed, I mean you can but a average human would need to eat like 4000 1000mg edibles to die.
Lmao 400$ for a vet to do nothing is hilarious
AI story and even if it isn’t nothing happened so who cares
Allowing pets to access drugs shouldn’t be any less controversial than allowing your toddler access.
I’m glad you feel remorse and modified your habits.
hilarious
You paid $400 for nada lol, but I get it, the peace of mind.
I would have been worried about the chocolate in the brownie over the weed. Glad Pickles is ok.
Don’t ever take your pet to an emergency clinic for marijuana unless they eat like a fucking pound of it.
Emergency clinics charge like 2 to 3 times more than a normal visit
Edit: if the cat ate a grape? Immediately to the vet.
The chocolate is usually worse for the animal, but high levels of cannabis can be fatal!
I want to know where this cheap ass vet is, bc I’m moving there. $400 for a visit and overnight observation is a steal.
Pickles didn’t just get high she transcended. Now she walks among us as a stoned little oracle, forever judging from the astral plane.
I kinda want to see a video of the cat barbecued on edible, lol

One of my pugs ingested my brother in law’s gummies. He stared at the wall for 3 days straight.
My dog ate a nug, was passed out for most of a day. My wife was worried, my dog was chill, I was chill too 🫠 now my dog comes up to me whenever I’m rolling one up and has a look on her face like, “we gon do dis again?” 😅🤙🏻
When weed became legal in my state, NPR did a story about if it’s harmful for your pets and what you should do if they get into edibles. The doctors was like “No, they won’t die or have lasting effects. You might want to put on some Bob Marley for them tho.” lol
Drugs can affect other species in completely different ways. Also a dosage for an adult human is huge for a 14 lb animals. Don’t give drugs to animals if you don’t know what you are doing.
