    About this ebook

    Surely, you have ever wondered: can animals ingest cannabis? What effects does it have on my pet? Can cannabis cure my pet? 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 ebook, 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 ebook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

      INTRODUCTION

      The Cannabis sativa L. plant has been used by mankind for more than 6,000 years for multiple purposes, including the search for its psychoactive effects, its use in the manufacture of ropes and textiles, therapeutic benefits, and more recently for industrial uses - biofuels, auto parts, insulating materials, fibers, and more. Throughout history we can learn how cannabis has been close to the animal world, even from the time of the Greeks who used this plant to heal wounds and hemorrhages in their horses; in addition, the green seeds of the plant were immersed in water or wine and then heated to relieve ear pain and inflammation.

      The first known record of the use of cannabis in animals was in 1607 when the English naturalist clergyman Edward Topsell claimed that combining hemp seeds with the regular feed ration of horses resulted in rapid weight gain in these animals. Likewise by the 1800s American veterinarians were using medications with high concentrations of cannabis in their formulation for the treatment of colic in these equines.

      Later in India in 1843, the Irish physician William O'Shaughnessy - who introduced cannabis to the West - used cannabis for the treatment of multiple conditions and determined that the plant has benefits to excite the brain system, stimulate the digestive organs and relieve pain. Inspired by this, O'Shaughnessy began his own animal studies to ensure through his trials that the substance was safe to be administered to humans, both children, and adults. In one of his trials with dogs
