Should have updated this a while ago. The plant was removed for the plants sake. There were absolutely no problems for about 3 weeks, the cham chose to house in the mj plant over the ubmrella. Once the clone got a little bigger the high heat from the lamps began to curl the leaves and the high humidity and moist soil were starting to cause yellow mold/ mildew spores to form.
There were absolutely no problems minus the ones states above. The chameleon was/is as healthy as she can be. Was sold to me as a tiny male and now I'm positive its a female. Was reading all the posts good and bad and have to say to everyone. Thanks for ur replies, they showed me the vast range of opinions on the subject.
I have years of experience gardening plus a few more of indoor gardening. I'm a third generation farmer from both sides of my parents. I also was keeping jacksons 15 years ago when I was a child under the tutilage of my mom. I have a lifetime of experience with animals and a love for them. I'm not the asshat in a lab coat subjecting my animals to horrible tests. I merely tested a hypothesis derived from many years of growing plants and animals.
My final verdict on this matter is: yes with proper care and cage size it is possible to keep a chameleon with a marijuana plant. It is however not the most suited plant for the chameleons high humidity and high heat requirements. Also the tender young shoots would snap easily under the weight of a full grown panther. So for the plants sake and the chams sake an umbrella plant will work just fine.
Side note: I've touched my eye after touching a plant before and jesus did my eyes burn from the stickyness, I wouldn't ever wish that discomfort on a chameleon which is another reason this should not be repeated.

To all the people saying why would u do that blah blah... I have but to quote Vince Vaughn in The Breakup "you know the first person to invent fire? They burned that witch, but everybody ate good that night and was warm"
i agree and disagree...just because we dont smoke the other plants we use, does that mean that it was ok once upon a time to put it in a cage and wait to see what happened to the animal, NO! However handi has a point and he was honest from a professional point not a stoners opinion. Point was he isnt the only one who tried..his chams health was first, and he has the know how to prevent thc and crystals.....it is possible other wise kids would be buying raw hemp online because just maybe if they smoked enough they might get a buzz........also when preventing the plant from flowering....its no where near something pretty to look at as in a show piece. im not saying the plant without the flower isnt pretty... im just leting people know that plants dont constantly look like something outta hightimes......so to say he was doing it for people to look at was rude. also he never bragged that he smaoked pot as if he enjoyed it. he said he was a legal grower..weather or not he smokes it is his business. people smoke it legally and illegally for different reasons.

Ohhhhh, cool. Yeah, I usually use quotes from b-grade comedy movies to justify alot of things too!
Glad to see you got rid of it. Even when a plant isn't flowering, a friend of a friend of a friend may have told me that there and still plenty of turpenes in the plant. So this is why your eyes burned after rubbing the plant then your face.
Also, alot of chameleons rub their eyes on branches. So well done.

A 1- hemp/medical marijuana growers/ science, hemp can be grown without producing thc...may food recipies call for things such as dried hemp leaves and hemp seeds...not to get high though....MMGs this would make it easy for them to start a plant and have it grow large enough without flowering for a while thus making the plant stronger and biger and more than likely more potant at a later date. home growing systems can be expensive esp if you are disabled and the government doesnt do squat for you financially but tell you to grow and smoke pot. .....any way once the plant is large enough it can be removed from habitat and forced to flower aka bud thus producing a larger weight of the product seeked which wouldlast longer than the product produced by several small clones thus beneficial to the grower and the cham provided it be proved through someones research that it isnt causing any harm to the cham
A 2---yes maybe not to you now but like i said previously we didnt always know certain things were safe unsafe for chams till someone tried and proved it. quit slandering and be happy that someone is curious and plans to keep the chams wellbeing first...also the cham might live longer concidering there are 2 living organisms that require round the clock care

I don't beleive you Todd
you have to be making that up. Who would do such a thing.1.
I have been in the Food Industry for about 10yrs now, and have not needed to use "Hemp" as a part of any recipe. Or heard about it been used, other than Pot Head kids trying to bake brownies.

The plant itself isn't one of the nicest things to feel. Ok fine if he is a Professional. Why not do some Research on some of the plants that the Majority of the Chameleon keepers can buy. At a Nursery or Home Depot, that would be a lot more beneficiary to the Chameleon Husbandry.

Considering most every plant availble @ home depot, I think ur missing my entire point on this, I did it because you can't get this plant @ home depot. Sometimes ya gotta figure out another use for something u have, if we didn't explore we would just have peanuts n no peanut butter lol. Another reason I chose this plant is the chameleons safety, some unresearched plants are toxic once ingested and my chameleons health comes first. That and I don't know what type of pesticides or nutrients were used on the home depot plants before I got it and I don't wanna take a chance of my cham getting a second hand chemicals ya know. As far as professional, I am conctractually paid to be a grower for 2 people with MS and a friend of mine who is 6'4 and broke his back n has his entire lumbar vertebrae section fused (don't ask him to pick up the lighter u dropped lol). I have my own seed company and invented a strain I'm pretty sure you've all heard of because they made a dam movie about it lol. As per me smoking it, I am right now actually but I'm also going for a masters degree so I think that leaves me out of the category of "lazy stoner" lol. Happy new years!

Lol, Can we guess at your day job, if its not something like this ,your in the wrong buisness!

Well Duh!
Would there not be some amount of Tetra Hydra Cannibinol, no matter how small? Otherwise why grow it? Im not unfamiliar with the plant, but just because it wont flower due to control climate dosent change its genetics.
Has the lizard eaten any at all that you noticed? Any effect? Did it giggle? crave hornworms? get paranoid?
I think 'research' is a little rich, point or not, its really just to satisfy your curiosity, using your lizard as a test subject. It may do no harm at all, but why risk it, especially if the lizard is big on munching plants.
Theres nothing to be learnt from using the plant itself over any other. Logic dictates that if its strong and has branches, the lizard will climb it. same as any other. Why not a prickly cactus? Then you could research how much damage might be caused so more sane sensible folk will avoid it!
You already know you can eat it without harm, but if you call it call it 'research',
atleast provide some useful data, such as nutritional value.
I dont care less if you or anyone smokes pot, legally or otherwise, its just not a big deal,
what I do care about is how folk treat their animals.
As far as young members of this forum go, the legality of your habit has nothing to do with the message you send by subtley bragging you smoke pot.
How did any other plant become known as toxic or not for chameleons??PUTTING IT IN THE ENCLOSURE WITH IT!!!! so calm the hell down and let the man do what he wants to do
