The various drug crisis centres are doing their jobs. The woman just instinctively rushed her pet mouse to a crisis centre.
I am impressed with their response, but of course they exist to help people who use drugs.
LPC, you are quite right that the key message is how dangerous drugs are around kids and pets.
It would only take a small amount of heroin to harm a child or pet. We are having enough trouble with addicts getting harmed by their own drugs.
I do distinguish between the serious drugs like heroin and fentanyl that are addictive and Cannabis which is used recreationally and medicinally. I just find cannabis makes me feel euphoric and a bit silly. That is no big deal, but I am not really good the next day. I don't like the euphoric feeling and I hate losing the next day. I don't have that kind of time. Pot is useful when someone has some serious health issues and needs to take something regularly. It is a better option than narcotics. It is better to keep the stronger narcotics for medical emergencies. They lose their effect if you take them all the time and it is too easy to accidentally take an overdose.
Pot isn't safe for pets under uncontrolled circumstances. It just wouldn't have the same effect as heroin. It is amazing that they saved the mouse. There is some talk of using cannabis to treat dogs for certain conditions, but that is a whole different topic for discussion.
Other drugs that are out there are too dangerous for our pets and way to dangerous for us. I never considered even trying them.
