The use of recreational cannabis is now legal in this country. How does this affect your pets? Even before its legalization, team of veterinarians had to treat dogs and cats poisoned with cannabis, most often by accident. Recently, a dog that ate a cannabis butt during his walk in the dog park came to see us, his owner finding him in an “unusual” state. With legalization, it’s a safe bet that the number of animal poisonings will unfortunately increase. The <\/span>CBD tincture boxes<\/b><\/a> are the perfect in this case. The right options are there now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our ancestors made the most of every part of the plant: the flowers and leaves were used as medicine, the tails and stems as fiber, and the seeds as a source of protein. Few other concerns were reported about this plant before the 19th century. It began to be described as a poison at the turn of the 20th century and subsequently became illegal everywhere. Currently, people are starting to open up again about this fascinating plant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It appears that dogs are more sensitive to the active substances in cannabis compared to humans. Excessive consumption of cannabis or cannabis-based products quickly causes symptoms of toxicities in dogs. Obviously, smaller dogs are even more vulnerable because of the low doses required to cause symptoms of toxicity.<\/span><\/p>\n

A study in 2012 reported 4 times more toxicity from marijuana in dogs following its legalization in some states. Cats are also sensitive to side effects, but since they are much more selective in choosing what to “eat”, most choose to take their turn in front of this odorless substance.<\/span><\/p>\n
