I suppose it's the same as any other medication but there's no way your pet can say, "Dude, this shit makes me paranoid." > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 In all seriousness, this article is intriguing but only offers anecdotal evidence because of the lack of any structured medical studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumb0 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I wouldn't give any to my pets. A cat enjoys being a cat, and a dog enjoys being a dog. There's no way they could handle being in a different state of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewn Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The way that article ended was hilarious. “This way,” she said, “I can combine my two favorite things: dogs and pot.” Anyway, I'd like to see some more studies done on the CBD portion of pot to treat these pet ailments. I wouldn't be against the use since it can be better than the hundreds of meds they prescribe for the ailments listed. But yeah, def more studies, esp to know the limits, dosage, and effects of pot.

Give it a few years of study though and we'll see The one thing the article did was make the distinction between THC and CBD, so obviously this is more than just giving a sick cat a pot brownie (which is doubly bad). Without the research, it's still not clear exactly how it helps, but there is a pathway to researching how pets can consuming elements of marijuana plant byproducts in way that is safe.

scoobdog Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I don't know for sure that it does. the calm down might be psychosomatic That's not the proper use for the word "psychosomatic." "Psycho-" - of or relelated to the mind. "-soma" - of or related to the physical body. The adjective is used to denote that which derives from the brain controlling physical iterations; quite literally anything from a normal reaction to fear (such as profuse sweating) to hypochondria. What your're likely mean is the specific process of pyschological control of symptoms, such as with placebos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it probably does alleviate some of the symptoms, but I'm more worried about the long term affects, to see if it's screwing up another part of the animal. DEF would not recommend people doing this, yes, but from a scientific perspective it is interesting if they can use it in ze future....or just hone in on the CBD part of mary jane and study that more. What also worries me is that people will read this and give their animal pot (not just CBD)....'cuz THC is bad for your pet.
