These and other doubts can be clarified in the following audiobook in which you will learn about the use of cannabis in animals. The cannabis plant has been used by man for more than 4,000 years before Christ; for psychoactive, therapeutic and industrial purposes; also throughout history we can see how cannabis has been very close to the animal world. From the Greeks, who used it to heal wounds and hemorrhages in their horses, also the green seeds were immersed in water or wine and then heated to relieve ear pain and inflammation. The first known record of use in animals was in 1607 where Edward Topsell claimed that combining hemp seeds with a horse's regular ration caused rapid weight gain and in the 1800s, American veterinarians ordered medications for equine colic with high doses of cannabis. Currently, the use of cannabis has had an increase in its medicinal applications due to the isolation of its multiple cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol, cannabigerol or cannabichromene, which are characterized by having little or no psychoactive activity. Its therapeutic potential has been evidenced in osteoarthritis pain, allergic and inflammatory disorders, epilepsy, anxiety, skin conditions, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, arousing great interest also in the field of veterinary medicine and pet owners. In this audiobook, you will learn a little more about the history of cannabis in animals, endocannabinoid system in animals, its receptors, phytocannabinoids, terpenes and recommended strains, all the homeostatic-physiological functions and therapeutic uses in animals, as well as the different routes of administration, dosage, cannabis toxicosis and products on the market. If you are interested in learning more about the incredible medical cannabis and its use in veterinary medicine we invite you to enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

Book excerpt: The medical use of marijuana is surrounded by a cloud of social, political, and religious controversy, which obscures the facts that should be considered in the debate. This book summarizes what we know about marijuana from evidence-based medicineâ€"the harm it may do and the relief it may bring to patients. The book helps the reader understand not only what science has to say about medical marijuana but also the logic behind the scientific conclusions. Marijuana and Medicine addresses the science base and the therapeutic effects of marijuana use for medical conditions such as glaucoma and multiple sclerosis. It covers marijuana's mechanism of action, acute and chronic effects on health and behavior, potential adverse effects, efficacy of different delivery systems, analysis of the data about marijuana as a gateway drug, and the prospects for developing cannabinoid drugs. The book evaluates how well marijuana meets accepted standards for medicine and considers the conclusions of other blue-ribbon panels. Full of useful facts, this volume will be important to anyone interested in informed debate about the medical use of marijuana: advocates and opponents as well as policymakers, regulators, and health care providers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dogs are wo-man’s best friend. Dogs are family. We love them and they loves us back—unconditionally. Like we humans, dogs get ailments. They may experience anxieties and stress. As they age, dogs suffer aches and pains, just like we do. So we take our canine friend to the local veterinarian to tend to their ailment. Often, the Vet prescribes medication—a powerful pharmaceutical, which is usually effective, although not always. Pharmaceuticals, like opioids, can be addictive and have other worrisome side-effects. Now a safer alternative is emerging—cannabis for canines. Administration of cannabis and cannabis-based extracts to benefit over-all health and well-being are used by humans to treat an array of ailments. There is much to suggest that cannabis may benefit dogs as well. Many dog-moms and dads are giving cannabis potions to their pooches—with good results. The problem is that as a result of cannabis being classified as a Schedule 1 Drug by federal law since the 1930s, there has been little research. Veterinarian have no training in cannabis therapeutics and risk “losing their license” if they recommend it. And, until recently, cannabis was not readily available to the law-abiding dog owner. CANNABIS FOR CANINES explains cannabis therapeutics: how they can soothe many physical and psychological conditions and be used in conjunction with pharmaceutical medications, as well as preventatively. CANNABIS FOR CANINES describes cannabinoids, which are chemicals in the plant, and how they interact with a dog’s endocannabinoid system to soothe their distress. Readers learn the importance of close observation and how to track conditions as a way to check for effectiveness of the treatment and the importance of keeping their Vet in the loop, especially if the dog is taking a pharmaceutical. Precautions are included. CANNABIS FOR CANINES is a fun, informative read of interest to dog owners and canine professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cannabis For Your Dog: How It Can Help Nutrients And Supplements There's a popular medicinal herb you can give your dog these days ... ... and it's called cannabis. Dog owners are using it to help their pets with a wide range of ailments - from anxiety to arthritis to cancer. Are dogs going to pot? Not exactly. The cannabis dogs are taking is hemp, not marijuana. For a long time, hemp was illegal in the US and other countries because it got lumped in with other forms of cannabis. Today, you can buy hempseed products in your local grocery store - not just soaps and lotions, but hempseed protein powders and drinks like hempseed milk. But the hemp that has therapeutic benefits for your dog isn't the kind lining the supermarket shelves. We're talking about whole herb cannabis. So what's the difference between hemp and marijuana? Marijuana Vs Hemp Marijuana and hemp both come from the plant Cannabis sativa (though marijuana also comes from another member of the Cannabis family, Cannabis indica). The cannabis plant has over 60 chemicals called cannabinoids. The two main types of cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBDs are therapeutic cannabinoids, while THC is the cannabinoid that makes you high. Marijuana's THC content is usually between 10 and 15 percent; but hemp must have a THC content of 0.3 percent or less. At this level, cannabis has no intoxicating effect, for people or dogs. Hemp is higher in CBD, the substance that provides the therapeutic effects. How CBD Works The cannabis plant contains a number of different chemicals, including CBD, phytocannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids. Humans and other mammals have specific cannabinoid receptor sites. These sites are primarily in the brain and central nervous system, and in peripheral organs, especially immune cells. They make up what's called the endocannabinoid system. Studies show that many cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory effects, and can help with pain, tumors, seizures, muscle spasms, skin conditions, appetite stimulation, aggression, anxiety and neurological disorders How CBD Hemp Can Help Your Dog CBD hemp can help with both chronic and acute disease. Among chronic conditions, it can help with arthritis, compromised immune systems, stress responses, aggression and digestive issues. There are also studies under way into CBD's effects on Type 1 diabetes, organ diseases and cancer. Veterinarians are also finding CBD hemp can be useful in treating acute ailments like sprains and strains, torn ligaments, bone breaks and even during post-operative care to reduce swelling, pain and stiffness. If your dog's taking conventional drugs for any of these conditions, CBD hemp may make it possible to use lower doses of the drugs to achieve therapeutic effects. Since conventional medicines do have side effects, this is a useful benefit of CBD. Does It Work Fast? As with any herbal medicine, for most ailments you may not see an immediate effect. You'll need to be patient. Your dog may feel some pain relief in a few hours but other symptoms like inflammation may take a few days to show improvement. Safety First of all, because of the low THC, CBD hemp won't make your dog high. The most common side effect of CBD is that your dog may get a little drowsy - about the same as if you gave him a Benadryl. On rare occasions, side effects have included excessive itchiness or mild vomiting, but these sensitivities are few and far between. If your dog reacts with these symptoms, you should stop giving him cannabis.

Book excerpt: Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.

Book excerpt: So, you have heard lot of rumours about CBD Oil, then as a pet keeper you wonder how this CBD Oil Can CBD Oil Help Pets, Is it safe for pets? How do you administer it to your pet without a fear of negative reaction on them?While there is emerging research on the use of cannabis for dogs, much of what we know today is anecdotal or extrapolated from human medicine. Anecdotal evidence is mainly composed of individual reports. For example, a dog or cat might have accidentally ingested some medical marijuana and the guardian noticed a resolution of symptoms. Maybe after consuming the cannabis, the pet was able to jump on the bed again or was more playful.First, let's do a little unpacking. The cannabis sativa plant contains both THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). While THC is what's responsible for the psychoactive "high" that marijuana is known for, CBD does not get you (or your pets) high. Derived from hemp, CBD is often used medicinally to relieve pain, inflammation, anxiety, and other disorders and ailments.CBD oil can be helpful in cats who have irritable bowel disease, pancreatitis, arthritis, cancer, and asthma. It can reduce symptoms - including pain and discomfort - and even lengthen lifespans. Much like in cats, soothing anxiety is one of the best uses of CBD oil for canines.It can also help with situational anxiety, such as loud storms, traveling, separation, moving into a new home, introducing a new pet, or having guests in your home. Lots of pet parents use CBD oil treats for Independence Day or New Year's Eve; and it can also be used to manage arthritis and control seizures/epilepsy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people suffer from chronic, debilitating disorders for which no conventional treatment brings relief. Can marijuana ease their symptoms? Would it be breaking the law to turn to marijuana as a medication? There are few sources of objective, scientifically sound advice for people in this situation. Most books about marijuana and medicine attempt to promote the views of advocates or opponents. To fill the gap between these extremes, authors Alison Mack and Janet Joy have extracted critical findings from a recent Institute of Medicine study on this important issue, interpreting them for a general audience. Marijuana As Medicine? provides patientsâ€"as well as the people who care for themâ€"with a foundation for making decisions about their own health care. This empowering volume examines several key points, including: Whether marijuana can relieve a variety of symptoms, including pain, muscle spasticity, nausea, and appetite loss. The dangers of smoking marijuana, as well as the effects of its active chemical components on the immune system and on psychological health. The potential use of marijuana-based medications on symptoms of AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and several other specific disorders, in comparison with existing treatments. Marijuana As Medicine? introduces readers to the active compounds in marijuana. These include the principal ingredient in Marinol, a legal medication. The authors also discuss the prospects for developing other drugs derived from marijuana's active ingredients. In addition to providing an up-to-date review of the science behind the medical marijuana debate, Mack and Joy also answer common questions about the legal status of marijuana, explaining the conflict between state and federal law regarding its medical use. Intended primarily as an aid to patients and caregivers, this book objectively presents critical information so that it can be used to make responsible health care decisions. Marijuana As Medicine? will also be a valuable resource for policymakers, health care providers, patient counselors, medical faculty and studentsâ€"in short, anyone who wants to learn more about this important issue.
