Marijuana toxic to mice?

Post by Mirabelle on Sun Apr 16, 2017 5:10 pm

I live in Colorado and smoke weed inside, in the same room as the mouse cage. I've been trying to research if it's toxic to them at all, but all I'm coming up with are studies about weed on lab mice, or how to keep mice out of your crop. Based on that I'm thinking it effects them fairly similarly to humans, but I thought I'd double check.
I know the smoke itself wouldn't be good for their lungs, but it doesn't get that thick in the air and I'm not blowing it in their faces or anything.

I would not recommend it. I don't even burn candles in the same room as my pets. They have extremely sensitive lungs, so even trace amounts of smoke can be very bad for them. I'd suggest going into a place on the opposite side of your house, or outdoors if you can, just to be on the safe side.

Ditto what PastelMouse said.

I agree, it's not a good idea. Since having rodents, I don't burn candles, burn incense, or use any type of air freshener, and no aerosol cans.
