Marijuana poisoning — which can be extremely dangerous for dogs — is on the rise, NBC News reports . Keep them away from your bong water, y’all.
In 2013, more dogs got high than ever before. Or at least, more owners reported marijuana poisoning in their canines who had either snooped through their stash or were deliberately offered the drug.
Calls reporting stoned dogs increased by about 30 percent since 2009, NBC News reports.
According to the Animal Poison Control Center there were 213 calls reporting high dogs in 2009, compared to 320 in 2013. There are probably a lot more marijuana poisonings in dogs that go unreported as well.

The episodes tend to be accidental, said Dr. Matt Booth of Boulder, Colorado, but even if some were deliberate, “and some ding-a-ling gave his dog marijuana,” they are unlikely to report it to the doctor due to animal cruelty laws.
