Can smoking dog poop get you high

Not Medical Advice: No. While it is strictly NOT advisable, one might compare it to smoking a cigarette, as "methane" found in a dog's waste is also present in cigarette smoke.

Methane is a colorless, odorless gas with a wide distribution in nature. It is the principal component of natural gas, a mixture containing about 75% CH4, 15% ethane (C2H6), and 5% other hydrocarbons, such as propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10).

The "firedamp" of coal mines is chiefly methane. Anaerobic bacterial decomposition of plant and animal matter, such as occurs under water, produces marsh gas, which is also methane. Learn more here.

Did you know? Dogs can typically smell and hear far better than their human companions. Now it appears they can sense Earth’s magnetic field too, say a team of biologists – and they show it when they poop. Learn more at Los Angeles Times.
