Fat Freddy's cat

Marijuana is very toxic to cats and dogs. That cat was likely extremely ill after that video was shot.

^Piece of shit. My first hard drive was 800 MB. Couldn't fit Half-Life on it.

Now I have a bunch that I have to dispose of properly somehow.

Drill them.

My first hard drive was 10MB in an IBM XT and the drive was bigger than most SFF computers and weighed a lot more.

<--- Worked in the vet field.

Browsing the comments in that video revealed that, for starters, it was two different cats. And more importantly, the plant wasn't flowering yet, and a marijuana plant that has yet to flower will have negligible THC content, especially in the leaves (of which always contain the least amount of THC anyway). THC is the most psychoactive component, and I have not seen any evidence that other cannabinoids are the culprit for cases of overdose in pets.

With that said, I think that also draws an important point for human overdose: it is possible, but based on weight and our apparent higher tolerance, it would take such an excessive amount of THC that you'd make yourself sick before it could happen. If you consumed a bottle of extract, perhaps you might not make it. I'd be curious to see the results now that extracts are becoming more common. But before these past few years, it would have taken an obscene amount of plant material or even weed butter to induce such an extreme state, and extremely unlikely to occur.

We can be killed by chocolate, tea, and coffee in much the same way as our beloved pets. Again, due to a slight different in metabolism due the difference in species and mass, it would just take an obscene amount of either substance. It's been said it's around 100 cups of coffee worth of caffeine, basically taken through IV, for caffeine to kill us. I haven't seen a number for the other two main compounds found in all three of those consumables, but it's not even the caffeine that kills a dog first, IIRC it's theobromine. It too should likely kill us but I haven't a clue how much is needed.

As an er doc I have seen several caffeine overdoses with "No doz" it's not fun. It causes severe tachycardia and anxiety. This occurs at about 4 "No doz" or 800 mg of caffeine, that would be like downing 10 cups of coffee in one hour. There is no high, just bad anxiety and heart and blood pressure elevation.

What is this "drill" you speak of? Sounds a lot like "work." I say, "no," sir. Good day.

Seriously, will pay $5-$10 for someone to hammer the shit out of them or shred them in my presence. On the other hand, what are you going to do with my 10+ year old resumes or school work? Maybe there's a password for a defunct online account or expired credit card on there.

no weed is not very toxic to cats and dogs. Medical pot is very common.

Extremely high doses of concentrated marijuana will lead to psilocybin-like effects.

I'd disagree with the no high, but the reaction to caffeine is very user-dependent.

Now, if they took 4 caffeine pills in one gulp, well... probably not very good.

But in high school, I had some high caffeine days for the fun of it, it was very much a type of high. I'd make a "mocha" with 4 double-shots of espresso I brewed at home (read: very very strong - caffeine level could be anywhere between 4-8 small cups of coffee, the estimated levels seem to be all over the place when looking that up online). And then a few hours later I might have a massive version of a Monster, or at least a regular monster.

This was, thankfully, before I got into caffeine pills. I got into them as caffeine source replacement so I could skip energy drinks and coffee (unless I really wanted coffee). I would have 800mg of day throughout and following college, took awhile before I woke up and realized I needed to do something about that. Now I'm on 1 caffeine pill a day, split in half taken at breakfast and lunch. (200mg) Sometimes I have more because I get caffeine from elsewhere, or sometimes I skip the pill when I know I am going to get it from another source, like coffee. Other days, it very much feels like I need way more so I double-dip between the pill and other sources, or take another pill.

I knew someone who took a couple of the fat burning energy pills in class, I think it was like 600mg of caffeine total, but also along with who knows what else was in them, and he was freaking out, felt sicker than a dog and incredibly restless.

Oh, and for those high-caffeine days in high school, I tried to make sure it was only once a week, and not on a day I worked after school. I did that once or twice, and OMG it was terrible. The crash was real.

I cannot imagine they would be nearly as enjoyable as actual psilocybin. And a little birdie once told me that it got way too high once or thrice and that the subjective experiences later with psilocybin were much more enjoyable than those. But in retrospect, the weed experiences were just unenjoyable at the time based on the expected results and loss of party mood.

Can't say for sure though.

Why not have both? This is a most excellent excuse to buy a hammer drill. Of course, a hammer drill would be a perfectly awful tool for the job but you could flip it out of hammer mode and then flip it back when you finish.

Oh I can tell you for sure it isn't as fun. It's basically all the downside without any of the upside.
