Hi, fortunately marijuana ingestion is not usually fatal in dogs. It does depend on how much of the pot was in the food he ate. There is no way to tell how severe his symptoms will be. If you can't take him to a vet, I would put him in a cool room on a soft bed with a towel underneath as they can dribble urine when this happens. Marijuana ingestions usually takes a few hours, up to 12 hours, to get out of their systems. If you notice his breathing getting extremely slow and shallow he needs to see a vet. Most likely, this won't happen and there should be no long term ill effects. Good luck, I hope this helps!
