Cannabis vs Cats – Let’s See <\/p>\n

It is still a controversial plant although cannabis has been legalized in multiple states across USA. The idea of giving your cat cannabis may sound weird, but a growing community of people believe it’s a safe and natural alternative to veterinary drugs. <\/p>\n

Is THC Okay for Cats?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

THC is readily stored in the body’s fat tissue, which includes the liver, brain, and kidneys. The liver metabolizes this THC, and much of it is excreted in feces and urine.<\/p>\n

The good news is that marijuana exposure and ingestion are rarely deadly in cats and long-term complications are uncommon. Toxicity of marijuana is low for cats, requiring roughly 1.5 grams of marijuana per pound of body weight to be fatal. <\/p>\n

Can Medical Cannabis Help Your Cat?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

As per Consciouscat.net<\/a> <\/p>\n

Medical cannabis can help with a wide variety of conditions because hemp naturally contains compounds which affect the endocannabinoid system, an internal pathway found in mammals. Nearly every tissue contains receptors which respond to the components found in cannabis, acting separately but holistically with the body’s other receptor systems.<\/p>\n

  The Experts Say<\/strong> <\/p>\n

  The stories sound almost miraculous. A write-up on the American Veterinary Medical Association<\/a> website talks about a man named Ernest Misko who gave marijuana tinctures to his 24-year-old cat, Borzo. In a couple of days, he was walking normally again, pain-free.<\/p>\n

  Sarah Brandon, DVM and the co-creator of the Canna Companion product line, also shared several experiences with The Conscious Cat<\/a>. According to Brandon, older cats suffering from joint discomfort respond particularly well. The Canna Companion<\/a> website also lists a variety of benefits from supporting the immune system to maintaining a healthy GI tract. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
