Am I missing something? I don't see anything in there about smoking around your pet, just pets getting into edibles, eating concentrates or flowers, etc. Obviously you shouldn't blow smoke in your pet's face or hotbox with them, but I don't see anything that suggests vaping or smoking with an air purifier running or a window open and not letting them access the weed itself is harmful for them.

Right in the beginning, the article mentions that inhaling secondhand smoke can be bad for cats.

I appreciate you not just being an "omg you didn't read the article!!!!!!!" poster. And giving the info the op needed.

People miss stuff when reading. I know I do. Also, it is potentially helpful information for cats, which I am not at all opposed to spreading.

Thanks, I was looking under the section that lists cannabis products that are toxic to cats, which doesn't mention secondhand smoke at all.

Indeed, get a vaporizer!

Please reconsider spreading misinformation and half-truths; this only leads to fear-mongering and does not help anyone.
