- Cannabidiol, or the more common name CBD, is one of over 500 compounds found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of the most well-known ingredients. Cannabis plants can be referred to as hemp or marijuana, but this depends on the level of THC they contain when tested. Hemp plants contain less than 0.3% of THC where as marijuana plants contain much higher amounts.
Yes, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp and hemp-derived products are 100% legal to produce, sell, and consume throughout all 50 states. These products must be derived from HEMP plants, not marijuana plants, in order to be legal. This is why CBD products do not have psychoactive effects. Please check with your local guidelines as states can still decide if they want to allow the sale and production of hemp-based products.
No, because CBD is one of the main, non-psychoactive cannabinoids found in cannabis. Our products contain non-detectable levels of THC, which is the primary psychoactive component in cannabis. This means that it is not possible for your pet to get “high” while using hemp-derived MoonFlower CBD products. MoonFlower CBD products are third-party tested to ensure the total delta-9-THC concentration does not exceed 0.3% on a dry-weight basis.
- Animals and humans have similar endocannabinoid systems (ECS). The ECS is a signaling system that regulates bodily functions. Dogs continuously make endocannabinoids to keep everything balanced and working well. When the ECS fails to work properly, negative health issues arise, which is when CBD can come in to help. Rather than prescribed medications, it can be used to alleviate symptoms caused by these imbalances.Cannabinoids can be naturally produced by the body or by the hemp plant. Both can support the ECS through receptors found on cell membranes. These cells are important for bodily mobility and overall health. Scientific studies have shown that CBD can restore balance in the body’s processes where there may be an issue. Once consumed, the CBD triggers the ECS to release enzymes to break down the CBD so then it can attach to the receptors, which in turn sends support to the cells needing repair.Cannabinoids in CBD mimic those that are naturally produced in the body by the ECS. When paired together, the ECS goes into hyperdrive, creating a lot more, new Endocannabinoids in the body.There are two types of receptors in the Endocannabinoid System. CB1, found mostly in the central nervous system and the brain and CB2- receptors, which are found mainly in peripheral organs, bones, liver, skin + immune cells. This is why CBD oil is so beneficial to the entire body. Once it binds with each receptor, balance is restored in the impaired cells and symptoms are relieved or processes are improved.
- CBD is an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 and has the potential to affect the metabolism of other drugs. While this appears to be of minimal clinical significance in most cases, this may be important when CBD is used in a pet for seizure control. Doses of other anticonvulsants may need to be adjusted. Remember that owners may discontinue anticonvulsants on their own if they feel that CBD is controlling their pet’s seizures, so this is an important discussion to have.CBD has also been shown to cause elevations in liver enzymes in various safety studies. This has not been noted in acute overdose situations but could be a concern in pets taking CBD long-term. Monitoring liver enzymes and total bilirubin in these pets is recommended.
