...there's barely any thc in the leaves? I dunno. maybe a tiny cat would get a bit loopy, but I think chomping on leaves wouldn't matter for the majority of mammals.
I think that's a myotonic cat or some stuff in the 2nd shot, and we're all going to hell for laughing at a disabled animal...on top of laughing at what we thought was a human-tortured animal? ....I dunno, don't know whether to chuckle or to murder humans at this point, tbh...
Yeah, different cats is what I'm leaning towards.
And you are correct about the leaves - technically, every single part of the plant is quite low in actual THC if it's in raw form (living plant or cured bud). It's not until heated to certain temps [generally] that the THCA is decarboxylated into THC. Over time some naturally convert/degrade in this fashion. That's why in reality, compared to the movie scenes where someone eats a whole baggie of weed and get high as fuck, someone won't get nearly as stoned as you'd expect, or if they do get stoned, it's comparable to smoking only a small portion. If you decarb'd marijuana you still need more material, but if you ate what those baggies represent, but properly prepared, you'd be practically comatose lol
Even properly prepared, the leaves just aren't going to offer all that much if anything.
Point being, an animal eating a couple leaves isn't going to feel a thing. If they ate a whole flower/bud... maaaybe. A couple of them, probably going to feel something. Of course, quantity is assuming equal metabolism, at least relative for body weight, but that wouldn't be true across most species. I have no idea how much more or less sensitive pets are to it... I should look into that.
