Happy 4/20: Here's 5 Animals Who Accidentally Got Super High (And Yes, They're All Fine Now)

We wanna preface this by saying that, OF COURSE, marijuana is not safe for ingestion by household pets, and you should never give it to them on purpose. While cannabis intoxication in pets is rarely fatal, it can be - especially in dogs, who have higher numbers of cannabanoid receptors in their brains than humans, and are therefore much more sensitive to it and vulnerable to marijuana toxicity.
That said, when determined naughty pets do somehow get into someone's stash...the results can be really funny.
Don't give your pets weed today - but do feel free to laugh real hard at these silly guys who had some and were ultimately fine.
Pet Number 1: Carmilla the Cat
My horrible gremlin kitten snarfed an entire weed cookie and got v i o l e n t l y high the other day: a thread pic.twitter.com/EZWJe9HUrV

Sometimes pet owners are as responsible as they can be with their substances...but their care is no match for clever, mischievous pets.
In the 60 seconds it took me to pee and wash my hands, these shitheads tag-teamed their Great Cookie Heist to swipe the cookie off the fridge, chew through all three freezer bags and the paper, and snarf the entire cookie, leaving just the chocolate chips on the rug. pic.twitter.com/8vt0omYMwu

Carmilla and her partner in crime - her sister Bela - worked together to bat a weed cookie off the fridge where their owner had it carefully thawing...and then Carmilla ripped through the packaging and ate the whole thing.

At least her sister stood guard the whole time.
Béla Lugosi stayed with her and gave me his signature stink eye while she descended into a stoned stupor, as if it were my fault his sister transformed into a barely sentient breadloaf #CarmillaKitten #hellcats pic.twitter.com/JHFTQE5S4a

Pet Number 2: Bently
Similarly, this worried dog owner took his buddy Bentley to the vet after discovering he had eaten a weed gummy - but, luckily, he was just fine. (Look at his face - yeah he is.)
My dog accidentally ate a weed gummy today so I spent the afternoon watching football from an animal hospital. Good news: he’s fine, will just probably be stoned for the rest of his life. Pls send snax. pic.twitter.com/TKfIb4jx7M

Bentley was welcomed home into the arms of his many stuffed animals and was very happy for...a long time.
Pet Number 3: This Owl Here
Okay, so we don't know this owl's name, and he's not high on weed, either - this regal lil man just woke up from anasthesia at the vet, and he's clearly very confused and maybe doesn't remember how his legs work. (To be fair, they are wrapped in bandages.)
I thought this owl was my favorite high animal of the day but 5 minutes later I see this spooky space cadet. pic.twitter.com/PnSRklcdos

The vet is clearly trying to demonstrate how to put him down when the poor guy just tips right over and stays flat on his face for a bit until he's picked back up. A mood if I've ever seen one.
(And if you have questions about the cat in the first tweet...don't worry, we'll get to her in a minute.
Pet Number 4: A Raccoon In A Firehouse?!
This one is less funny and more just...bizarre.

It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like - but the raccoon also wasn't high on JUST weed.
Apparently, the owners of this raccoon, not knowing what to do when their pet racoon started acting strange and lethargic, took it to a local fire station - they told firefighters there that the raccoon had ingested "somebody else's" meth.
There wasn't really anything to be done for it - firefighters called local police, but one officer decided that the concept of administering narcan to a raccoon was "too weird."
We really don't know how this one ended unfortunately - we hope fine, but meth is significantly more dangerous than weed.
Pet Number 5: Jinx
We promised we'd tell you what was up with that cat. Let's finish things out on a lighter, more hilarious note:

This cat didn't get into anyone's weed like the first one - Jinx here, like the owl, just took a trip to the vet. But her eyes make her look like she's seeing into another dimension. That must be some good anasthetic.
Someone even drew fanart:
