Although legal for medicinal purposes, its not been decriminalized. You could also have been charged had the vet felt it appropriate.
there is a good point about neighbourhood politics. IF you are will ing to let the incident go, then splitting the costs may be appropriate. I must say though, you are a bigger person that I. Also, for Bill, my Dad has cancer and smokes pot for his pain. I know first hand what the benefits of the drug are, and would never question your need. My grandpa, also died of cancer and at the end of his illness, they were injecting him with heroine to control his pain. Sure made for some interesting conversations!

I was thinking along those lines too... that we'd add the cost of the vet to the cost of the pot and ask that she split the total by half. Otherwise, because it IS legal for her to have it here, I'm going to treat it as if my child had been visiting and had broken something of value and just replace it. We live in very close proximity here and neighborhood harmony has a higher value than the cost of the pot and vet bill, about $250. total. Cricket was so out of it I don't question that she may have eaten almost an eighth. At that price, I will say the lady must be smoking the very finest. I know it's very good to have the substance as medicine if you need it, no problem. I apologize for sounding so negative about it. I'm venting, more from the scare than anything else. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 3/28/2006 7:24:49 P.M.

Our big dog often visits the neighbors and is always welcome. Apparently, they allowed Cricket to visit too. It cost me $130. and lots of worry to find out that pot is poison to a small dog, but they sniff it out like heat seeking missiles. I suppose bottom line I should not have allowed the dogs to go visit and should repay her for her loss. On the other hand she should not have allowed the dogs in or allowed them to come to harm while visiting... *shrug... I guess paying up will support neighborhood harmony more than making it an issue... the neighbor claims the pot is her medicine... In any case, my point here is don't ever let your Chi get hold of even a small amount of marijuana, it's extremely toxic. You don't want to ever see your dog limp, glazed and peeing on her/his self. > > > <snip> > > ==================================================== > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > I hate to even speak up here, but I will, mainly because I have a Medical Marijuana card issued by the city and county of San Francisco, for the side effects of HIV and mainly the side effects of the HIV drugs, that I take (which I have been on a drug holiday away from, during my broken leg episode). The people of California (as well as Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.) all have laws on their books allowing folks like myself, with my Doctor's prescription to have Medical Marijuana. Say what you will, but come back and talk to me, when you have a chronic disease, it might change your mind. Most likely this person being another Californian has a prescription for the cannabis. I guess, you could ask her. But, I don't "claim" this medical marijuana for the relief of the side effects I suffer, I know it, and NEVER, NEVER try to tell me otherwise, or you'll be set for the wrath of me, LOL.

LOL, Not to make light of this situation, because you must have been scared for your little furry friend, but if you go to court TV, Maybe the People's Court with Judge Marilyn Milian, rather Judge Judy.

Just a good reminder..... > > BTW, This card from the city of San Francisco does work in court in Santa Barbara, as I was "caught" with a small amount in my pocket while going thru TSA security on my way home to SFO. I didn't even have to talk in court, All I had to do with was show the card to the Judge, and hand it to the bailiff. It was in fact, an entertaining day in court (less than 2 hours), I enjoyed seeing that my state lives up to it's liberal reputation. Oh yeah, This did cause me to have to return for court in Santa Barbara, but have you been there, it's sooooooooooooooo beautiful! And, I love going home to SoCal, anytime, LOL. It was a bit funny, because the 50 passenger Canadian Regional Jet "Barbie Jet" was full, so every passenger, all 50 saw me deal with TSA, then the local Sheriff, who btw apologized for having to give me a ticket, to have to return and deal with, NP. When the FA asked me if I wanted a drink, I responded, with an enthusiastic, "Yes, Thank you Ma'am, I could use a drink!". > > You guys must have figured, I would speak up on this topic, > > Bill (SFO) San Francisco CA > > > Tico's dogster profile: > http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?j=t&i=235178 > > > > " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends! > Join today!
