After making a post in the medicinal marijuana forum on the same topic, I think I might want to attempt to treat my cat's glaucoma with marijuana. She's an old kitty and I don't know if pumping her full of chemicals and/or putting her under the knife would be more beneficial than harmful. She resists all medication, force-feeding, and any sort of tampering viciously. Is this okay? and if so, how can I go about using it on her?
the marijuana itself *may* not be very harmful to your cat but the smoke would be very harmful (if that is how you planned on doing it, by blowing smoke in her nose). remember how small her lungs are. i wouldnt do it. even if there was a different way, like if she ate it, she is not human and her body and organs are much smaller than a humans. untill you know for sure how it would affect your cat, using pot on her could be harmful to her.

Cats are extremely sensitive... you can't even use the wrong shampoo on them or you can seriously screw them up. You really have to be careful, so I would very much discourage giving pot to your cat. If it were a dog... maybe... but cats are just too fragile medically.
