You can’t tell an animal that drugs are bad, m’kay? They simply don’t fall under the same guidelines for humans. However, I bet if someone caught wind that you were giving your cat lsd, you would probably be charged with animal abuse. Also, not too long ago, parents could give their kids a cocaine and heroin tonic right from the grocer’s, so it’s just what is deemed appropriate at any given time.
giving your cats catnip -> you're a good owner
giving your kids drugs -> to jail you go
why???
