Can an animal test positive for drug use?

Question

If a cat lives in a home with pot smokers, and eats the pot. Can that cat test positive for marijuana?

you guys are funny. I dont know if an animal has been ever tested for that. Interesting.

Answer 1

Most of the answers here are wrong.

First, -- cannot happen simply from being around pot smokers. If the cat eats it then, yes, they will test positive.

Although I don't know why anyone would want to drug test a cat.

Answer 2

I got high once on 2nd-hand smoke... I was at a bar with my fiance, and a guy across the room had packed the end of his cigarette with something a little less legal... It was my first exposure to marijuana smoke and I got high (blood-shot eyes, dilated pupils, giggly, munchies, etc).

I'm guessing that I would have tested positive, although it was my first (and only) high, there probably would not have been much of a buildup of THC in my system.

So to answer your question about the cat... If someone decided to test the cat (hope they got a warrant), the animal would probably test positive...

Thought- has anyone ever actually tested an animal for drug use?

Answer 3

I'm not sure if they can test positive for drugs, but be careful because I have read that marijuana is toxic to cats.

Answer 4

Yes, of course. I would think that just being in the environment where the weed is being smoked, the cat would absorb enough for it to show in a drug test.

Answer 5

Answer 6
