How do I get it down from the ceiling? by lburgler http://www.independentladymagazine.com/index.php/2008/02/23/my-cat-snorted-all-my-cocaine-how-do-i-get-it-down-from-the-ceiling/#comment-7 lburgler Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:22:40 +0000 http://www.independentladymagazine.com/index.php/2008/02/23/my-cat-snorted-all-my-cocaine-how-do-i-get-it-down-from-the-ceiling/#comment-7 Actually, my cat ate about a gram of my weed a really long time ago before I became a born-again highly productive drug-spurning member of society. Turns out mortality threshold is one gram per pound of bodyweight. Which means my cat would need to eat 1/2 oz. to die. You might wanna look up information on cocaine toxicity, unless your cat's already dead. Hehe...I mean... Funny thing is, once the drug-induced haze cleared, I did the math and realized that I would have to eat/smoke five oz. of weed in one sitting to kill myself, which is laughably impossible. And then I wondered, if one bottle of 151 would kill me, why is alcohol considered less dangerous? And then I thought about a recent anti-drug commericial about a girl who shames herself by acting the exhibitionist at a party where everyone apparently was so bored that they all have their phones out and ready to immortalize her shame in easily mass-distributable photographs...And I thought, if weed makes you paranoid, and alcohol is disinhibitory, then wasn't she likelier drunk than stoned? And then I thought about another anti-drug commercial where a girl is in the bathroom with her mother waiting for the results of a pregnancy test, and when it comes up positive, the voiceover tells us that weed impairs judgment. And I wondered, Do they mean that weed makes you stupid enough to get pregnant, or stupid enough to tell your mom you think you're pregnant before taking the pregnancy test by yourself?
