It works the same way it works in people, by stimulating the endocannabinoid system to restore balance in the body, called homeostasis.
No. This was a common belief before more research was done regarding hemp’s other cannabinoids. New information has shown that THC and CBD can sufficiently function without the other. Broad Spectrum products that are THC-free but still have several other cannabinoids present are the most beneficial as the cannabinoids are able to complement each other’s individual effects.
The African Cannamed Co. does not recommend giving THC to animals in most cases (it is needed in certain cases). Every species will experience different reactions to the compound. Dogs have been found to be highly sensitive to its psychoactive properties, while cats have been shown to be less susceptible. THC in larger animals like horses can be potentially dangerous to both the animal and owner, due to THC causing excessive excitement. THC in low doses is fine. We do not demonize THC. It has great medical benefits for animals.
THC does have medical clinical value individually or when combined with other cannabinoids. However, Cannabidiol along with the other major cannabinoids, minor cannabinoids, and terpenes found in our Broad-Spectrum hemp extract is more than adequate to address homeostasis. Medical institutes generally demonize THC, however, it has great medicinal and future potential value.
