Cannabidiol (CBD) is an extract of the cannabis plant (marijuana). Marijuana use is legal in many Western states, and CBD products have therefore been available for a longer time to residents of those states. This problem has helped to explain why Delta 8 THC is currently banned in fifteen states, with six other states and the United States Drug Enforcement Agency seeking a similar ban. Regarding the epilepsy study specifically, it is important work because we are constantly searching for an effective anticonvulsant drug to treat epilepsy in dogs. The dogs enrolled in the study are randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or the CBD oil for 12 weeks and then, after a 4-week washout period, receive the opposite drug for an additional 12 weeks. "Equally as important, we will learn more about a safe dosage of CBD for dogs and potential side effects on dogs taking . Preliminary in vitro studies of CBD show anticonvulsant effects, and researchers like Dr. McGrath hope that CBD will offer better control of epilepsy with fewer side effects.
