Hemp can be grown for agricultural and industrial uses under the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985. The state government, however, establishes the geographical restrictions for the issuance of licences for its cultivation pursuant to Section 10 of the Act.

Section 10 of the NDPS act states, (ii) the possession, transport, import inter-State, export inter-State, sale, purchase, consumption and use of opium; 

(iii) the cultivation of any cannabis plant, production, manufacture, possession, transport, import inter-State, export inter-State, sale, purchase consumption or use of cannabis (excluding charas). 

The Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS), which was introduced in 1985, establishes the laws governing cannabis and cannabis-related goods in India. 

In contrast to seeds and leaves, which are permitted, the Act expressly forbids the sale and manufacturing of cannabis flowers.

In other words, hemp is legal as long as the THC content is 0.3% or less than 0.3%.

Pet owners and family veterinarians are still curious about hemp/CBD for their pets for many reasons. 

Is the product going to be reliable? Will it suit their pets? Pros and cons, etc. 

Knowing the product first: Scientifically, Cannabidiol (CBD)  is a member of the cannabinoid family, a group of chemical compounds found naturally in the cannabis plant.

Cannabinoids interact with the human body’s endocannabinoid system, which aids in homeostasis maintenance. It is the same when it comes to working internally for pets.

The research is promising, but it is still in its early stages to come to a conclusion that is 110% assured. Like humans, it is obvious that every dog will also react differently to certain products, which is why it’s necessary to start with a low dose in the beginning, and then monitor your pet’s progress. 

To note: CBD oil somehow doesn’t constitute delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound identified in marijuana. A significant proportion of CBD products are derived from hemp rather than marijuana.

At times it is difficult to notice pets suffering when it comes to situations like anxiety or pain. (inevident scenarios).

The condition you’re intending to heal,  CBD could most likely take longer to treat some health issues than others. For instance – anxiety may respond to CBD oil in a half-hour or so, whereas joint pain or arthritis may take weeks to improve.

Chemically speaking, marijuana contains CBD. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana that causes a high, is absent from CBD.

There are less data from human studies to demonstrate the advantages of CBD oil because of the prohibition of cannabis and related study restrictions. However, since the legalization of Cannabis, research in this area is gaining momentum.

People claim to use CBD oil for a number of medical ailments without getting high like they would with THC.

To cannabinoid receptors, CBD does not bind easily.  The human endocannabinoid system, which is a vital part of the central nervous system, contains these receptors as important parts.

Second messengers called endocannabinoids to assist in the regulation of a number of functions, including pain, memory, mood, immunity, and stress. 

(According to Harvard Medical School) There is some evidence that CBD helps reduce anxiety, multiple sclerosis-related muscle spasticity, fibromyalgia pain, and sleep difficulties.

Adults seem to find CBD to be a fairly safe product. Some people do experience negative effects from CBD, such as nausea, lethargy, and irritability. But this only depends on the consumer’s consumption. 

It is advised that a user should always check with his/her doctor before use as it can interact with some drugs.
