HA HA HA, lmao.
No idea dude. But someone's gotta do it. Question is would we rather the dogs did it? Or the cops? An animal rights activist might answer differently than most.
On the other hand, a junkie dog would be a deadly weapon in the search for narcotics. Lack of motivation for the job would never be a problem.

IF dogs that are trained to sniff for drugs became drug addicts we would all be in serious trouble. The canines actually are not able to enjoy the opiates at all and are in harms way if they get over-dosed by a veterinarian for injuries from search and rescue. Most canines are extremely sensitive to the training they recieve and remain that way until they are no longer alive. Be aware that any trained k-9 is way above the human level of addiction.

no, they are trained to smell the scent of the drugs. Sometimes in training the dogs people use tennis balls and cut them and put drugs in them. then they play fetch with the ball that has drugs then when the dogs are use to the scent of the drugs then they hide the drugs and they pick up on the scent to the dogs it is like a game

They don't actually take the drugs. They can just detect the smell due to training. So no.

Dogs, like Clinton, don't inhale. They sniff to arouse their olfactory senses then blast back out. sniff...sniff...sniff...blow

keep in mind that odor itself is the presence of particulate.
