PROLIFERATION OF POT BAD FOR PETS

Re: Curious dog munches mistakenly on pot, May 21

Since Colorado legalized marijuana, veterinarians are seeing a rise in
the number of dogs ingesting marijuana products. In Jefferson County,
staff at the emergency animal hospital report attending to at least
five cases a day for dogs who have ingested marijuana. Denver
emergency rooms are also reporting admitting at least one person, each
and every day for marijuana overdosing and the same is happening in
Seattle. Where are the statistics for British Columbia for our pets,
for hospital admissions, and for the number of kids dropping out of
school or being expelled as a result of their use of marijuana products?
