I don't think Riker was stoned, but I'm firmly convinced that Shirley Jackson was stoned when she wrote "The Lottery."
Yes.
"Threshold" was the episode that made me wonder what the writers were smoking.
"These Are The Voyages" was the episode that made me wish they'd brought enough of whatever it is to share.
What Very Short Trek was this thread referring to?
Holograms All the Way Down
Dogs can live up to 18 years, especially small dogs.
Riker? Doubtful. Frakes? Possible.
Fallout from the Eugenics wars?
A lot of animal experiments before human trials, between the early 1960s and 1996, could mean that dogs live longer than (baseline) people in Star Trek.
Or Archer may not have been able to take Porthos to the Embassy on Andoria, a posting that lasted decades, so his cute little doggy may have been put into stasis back home, on Earth.
2151-61 is 10 years, and small dogs can live longer than that. What's the problem?
Or the dog died of old age soon after the UFP was founded.
I have either forgotten my point, or I was wrong.
70 dog years is old, but we don't know when Athos, Aramis, Dartanian and Porthos were born.
With dogs, calculating age in human years is tough. Though contrary to popular belief, it's not 7 for 1. Dogs' childhood is a smaller fraction of their lives than ours.
For smaller and longer lived dogs, you could probably use the conversion for cats, which is 13 + 4x. Even that isn't quite on-target, but it's reasonably close.

The first officer of Starfleet's flagship works a stressful job. Doubly so when the Pegasus incident came back to haunt him. I don't blame him for toking up and killing braincells on the holodeck for a few hours, or for putting on a few pounds. Getting fat and smoking weed while watching "Enterprise" is probably how a lot of people spent the Pandemic anyway.
i worked 7 days a week, i always smoke weed, i should be FAT, and I actually (hides) never finished Enterprise, although I am looking forward to it some day.
