Overview:
The use of cannabidiol (CBD) and its native plant cannabinoid (CBDA) are beginning to show utility in veterinary medicine for issues related to pain which will be highlighted in this lecture. Considering the nervous systems intricate connection to many disease processes there is a widening spectrum of use of these CBD/CBDA rich hemp products across diseases such as epilepsy, atopic dermatitis and behavior modification.
