Can my cat lay on me after I smoke marijuana outside?
I’m a daily medicinal marijuana user and I’ve been having trouble finding specific information online regarding my question.
First and foremost, I smoke outside on my balcony. My cats are not allowed on the balcony because I’m on the third floor and I don’t trust them. I also rarely smoke flower, I usually use the vapes because they smell less. There’s also an air purifier inside and my fans are always on. The smoke/vapor should not get inside at all, but I like to be cautious.
But I’ve heard of second and even third hand smoke. Should I change my clothes after I smoke? I already wash my hands and mouth before interacting with my cats after a smoke session, but now I’m worried about them laying on me or my clothing and getting exposed to it that way. Do I need to worry about the other surfaces I touch that they touch too (like the couch or bed)?
I’m sorry if these questions are silly, but I would never ever want to expose my girls to something harmful. Any advice or knowledge is appreciated!
Edit: just wanted to say thank you everyone for the input!! I’ve seen conflicting information around but I’m glad that this is just a case of me worrying too much :)
