Labrador Rescued After Eating Cannabis on Ben Nevis

A black Labrador named Tokyo was rescued from Ben Nevis last weekend after becoming critically ill from consuming discarded cannabis. The incident occurred while Tokyo was hiking with her owner, Christina Bluhme, halfway up the UK's tallest mountain. Tokyo began to lose the use of her legs and drifted in and out of consciousness, prompting immediate concern from Bluhme.

Bluhme feared for Tokyo's life as the dog's condition deteriorated on the mountain. The exact quantity of cannabis consumed by Tokyo is unknown, but the effects were severe enough to incapacitate the animal. The discovery of discarded cannabis on a popular hiking trail raises concerns about potential hazards for both pets and people.

Following the incident, Tokyo received veterinary attention. While the specific details of her treatment and recovery are not provided, the rescue operation ensured the dog received necessary care. This event highlights the unpredictable dangers that can be encountered in outdoor recreational areas, even from substances that may be discarded carelessly.
