In reply to Diana. Hey, Diana. Unfortunately, the answer to this question is: We don't know. There just hasn't been a ton of research into the way dogs metabolize THC. However, while stoner lore (as well as the majority of legitimate, authoritative sources) contends that THCA must undergo decarboxylation to change into THC (the psychoactive form), that has not been my subjective experience at all. Take that as you will.

I am looking for information as to how a dog can get high if it has eaten raw flower. I thought all THC had to be heated to activate the psychoactive effect. Does a dog’s digestive chemistry do something to release the effects of THC that a human’s doesn’t?

My Dumb friend left THC wax on the coffee table 3 grams of it and my dog ate it and died 5 days later. The wax held together and blocked up his system and he couldn’t hold down food or water, kidneys failed it was all bad.

In reply to Bl.

Hey there, BL.
Sorry to hear about your pooch’s ordeal, but we’re glad he’s OK now.
And you bring up a very good point about disposing of THC-containing substances. Not only is it a safety issue, but littering is just lame in general.
Thanks for sharing your story!
