Veterinary Medicine 11th Edition
Due to the speed at which regulatory changes are occurring in regard to cannabis (hemp and marijuana) and fear of publishing out of date material, this text focuses on the scientific and clinical aspects of cannabinoids in predominately dogs, cats, and horses. The authors of this text wrote their chapters to offer what evidence exists on their respective area of focus to help you make a more informed clinical decision. As with many things in veterinary medicine, we must be prepared to extrapolate information from other species, preclinical studies, and anecdote combined with our own clinical judgment to best care for our patients.
