Nice looking bird peace pipe. So the leaves and stems are safe for birds if grown totally organic?
Yes I have never seen any ill consequences in any of my feathers friends nor my scaled ones or furred ones either and I only feed them raw vegan grown organics due to traces of drugs and chemicals found in animal matter exp. Blood and Bone meals.
Some people spread rumors that the barbs (in layman's term,) are often associated with stomach troubles when eating raw Cannabis leaves. This is preposterous though considering in ancient Tiebetan and Indian culture the raw leaves were eaten whole to treat stomach ailments. Must of been someone who witnessed a cat repetitively vomit up fresh raw Cannabis leaves that started this nonsense herban myth. Or was it just another form of propaganda? Makes me wonder, but then again I do like to analyze a little excessively at times :) I like to follow the daring Veterinarians that are exploring the world of Cannibinoids in this field and practice.
Either way yes it is perfectly fine to feed raw Cannabis to animals in general. Moderation is the key being that the mammalian and reptilian body can process Cannibinoids through biological means via stomach. Would not want to get them high and euphoric or stoned stupid either.
One can induce a Cannabis induced coma if dosages levels are high enough. So no feeding a bag of trim to the horse or dog lol... Again I stress moderation is the key for raw leaf to be a beneficial in the aspect of health. The endocanibinoid system is amazing, and when supplemented in balance it is even more amazing in its rapid response to disease and other health issues.
I wonder about the reptilian family though but I do know most Reptile vitamin supplements are derived from hemp seed meal. Hemp and Cannabis are one plant in my opinion and even though they are different they are not in many aspects. I believe we can all benefit from Raw Cannabis as the studies Dr,Courtney and others have indicated.. We are all related my friend and connected we are to our loved ones be they with scales, feathers or fur. I feel we owe it to them to use a holistic approach to their health care in general, especially with all the environmental poisoning none of us can escape. Regardless of no reptile data they too are related and connected to the whole so I feed them the leaves as well as their prey
One may never know but this may be prolonging their little lives too.. None the less, it is anything but harmful..Even when titration and dosage levels are miscalculated decarboxylated Cannabis & Concentrates will not kill an animal. Coma may be induced due to this but the body will simply reject the excess of the dosage through purging of the stomach even when an animal is under the coma (very dangerous due to choking risks). Long story short its best to use fresh cannabis as a health supplement verses the decarboxylated and dried. This is where the psychoactive effects become most apparent and that induced coma I menion only happens with decarboxylated cannabis luckily due to that whole process of the carbon molecule and exchange that takes place..
Sorry to ramble lol Just wanted to clarify and let others know that animals can benefit or suffer from Cannabis...Google my dog ate my stash and read the endless comments and sad stories ..Cannabinoids are digested and turned into new chemicals, especially material that has been decarboxylated.......PeacePipe
