GREAT FALLS â On January 1st, recreational marijuana became legal in Montana, with some restrictions - but not every segment of the population is singing the praises of the new law.
âIn people it seems like itâs a relaxing recreational drug, said Dr. Mike Norton of Best Friends Animal Hospital in Great Falls. âBut in pets it seems to have a lot of odd effects.â
Norton says marijuana toxicity in animals is a problem his practice is seeing with alarming frequency. âRight now, weâre seeing kind of an epidemic since Christmas,â said Norton. âUsually, I see about three or four a year, now Iâm seeing three or four a week.â
