    What do you think of my business idea of dogtoys that smell like illegal stuff, so you can train your dog to sniff out things. You have a ball and it smells like cocaine (there is no cocain in there), but you can hide it and train your dog now to sniff out cocaine, just for the fun of it. And there is one, that smells like explosives, one for marijuana, one for meth and so on.

      The real idea is to treasure those scents and spray them on all kinds of random shit.

      If the damn dog reacts to a bunch of items that aren’t weed, then you have grounds to challenge any searches conducted based on the dog’s reaction.

        This actually isn’t far removed from the reality we already have, it’s found many of the dogs are specifically trained not to accurately detect things, but to give the reaction that allows a cop to move forward in order to create probable cause.

        I mean at the airport the dog identifies you suitcase and the officers then search the suitcase. Not sure how you could trick the dogs then.
        I suppose you could do it at your home, but that’s not useful either for the same reasons.

      People do train and compete with their dogs in scent work but they use essential oils. So there may be a market for scented toys but probably not for illegal stuff.

      Also I’m not sure accidentally busting a drug trafficker is the key to a long healthy life lol.

        That makes more sense I suppose. Even if something just looks or smells illegal, it can still cause trouble.

        Is it an urban legend, that people have hidden stashes in public?

            Was it because hiding it at home was more risky with parents?
            Maybe it’s also an all eggs in one basket kinda thing. What if one stash is found or damaged, better to have backup.
            Or one could use it for dealing. I would imagine selling stuff to addicts, is kinda dangerous. What if they have no more money, but they know you have stuff in your pocket. Kinda scary. So what if you hide it, they give you the money and you give them a description where it is hidden. Sounds safer. Yes easier to scam, but a lot is about trust.
            I could imagine if someone is addicted, hiding a stash somewhere outside could keep one from eating through their entire stash when they get greedy.
            I’m kinda interested in how such things work.
            Can you explain how a public stash worked. Is it just a zip bag lightly buried? Or stuffed in some walls crack?

      You could make toys that smell like low blood sugar, or a seizure? Useful and still a good business model.

    Are those branches drying in the bathroom? Does that work? I’d think the high moisture after showering would ruin the drying process every time.

        “Non-sheltered”?

        I mean sure you van leave wood out to dry but if it rains a lot at least the top logs won’t prolly be dry. But like if you cover them from rain with a tarp it’s fine.

        Weed would go moldy though.

        Bathroom isn’t bad if he’s not taking long hot showers all the time. Good ventilation because it’s an area that’s often wet.

      A lot of growers turn the spare bathroom into the gardening room.

      Edit: but not these guys, they have shampoo and stuff still in the shower. Iunno

    Just got back from the vet because my dog got into my roommates stash. Good news—she’s going to be fine, but she’s going to be deeply stoned for a long, long time.

      It takes a surprisingly large amount of weed to hit the LD50 point for dogs out turns out. Somewhere around 1 gram per pound of body weight.

      But yeah, they do not handle it well at all.

        Our vet said they have never lost a dog before to this, but it’s 12 hours later and she is still stoned.

          Once you have crossed a certain amount of ingested THC it only prolongs the effects but doesn’t make them stronger. I’ve heard of people being high for over 24 hours from a miscalculated edible dosage

            Either can make them very ill/cause death (in extremely high dosages), but the effects are different. Even if they don’t eat things with the THC psychoactive qualities having been unlocked from heat being applied, they can still “look” like they’re very stoned, when in fact, they’re just very, very sick.

            Dogs tend to hide all sick-like behaviors similarly. It’s just one of those evolutionary instinctual things they do to not show weakness that could get them removed from a pack (or so I’ve read).

      You should talk in a happy, but slow voice, and walk/move in slow motion. And get your room mate to do it too.
