Is Full-Spectrum CBD Good For Dogs?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:04:37 GMT

There’s a split in the CBD community over how much THC to put in hemp extracts. Although the 2018 US Farm Bill allows manufacturers to include ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC, some customers prefer zero THC in their CBD oils. To cater to different consumer preferences, most CBD brands now offer some products with a bit of THC (aka “full-spectrum CBD”) or zero THC concentration (either broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate).While a little THC in human-grade CBD oils is generally safe for healthy adults, there are serious questions over whether CBD pet treats should have any THC. Does delta-9 have more harmful effects on dogs than humans? Should pet owners even consider using full-spectrum CBD oil?Can You Feed Full-Spectrum CBD To Dogs?Most studies suggest that dogs are more sensitive to cannabinoids than humans. Even a tiny amount of delta-9 THC could trigger severe side effects in a dog, including seizures, vomiting, and even death. For this reason, dog owners should always inspect the THC co...

Only 4% described their own mental health as poor. But nearly 4 out 10 said the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on their mental health.“I think that people are reading and hearing a lot about what is going on in terms of drug abuse, mental health, homelessness,” said Mark Baldassare, statewide survey director at the PPIC.In a rare show of unity, the ...

49ers mailbag: Can Brock Purdy keep avoiding turnovers?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:04:37 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Not even a 3-0 start for the 49ers can quell all concerns from their fan base, which relayed some via social media for this Week 4 mailbag:Will Jake (Brendel) and Purdy fix those botched snaps? (@matty__maff)Look, at least Purdy recovered those fumbles, on the first snap after halftime at the Rams and on the second snap after halftime against the Giants. The ball is definitely bouncing the 49ers’ way, especially in the red zone:— Week 1: Purdy traps the ball under his backside after a J.J. Watt sack at the Steelers’ 13-yard line.— Week 2: A red-zone snap deflects off motion-man George Kittle’s thigh and redirects to Christian McCaffrey for a short run. Also, a Deebo Samuel fumble harmlessly goes out of bounds, and, later, Talanoa Hufanga intercepts a fourth-quarter pass that ricochets high off Fred Warner’s helmet.— Week 3: The 49ers breach the red zone when a Purdy pass deflects off Samuel and into the hands of Ronnie Bell for a 15-yard g...

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 05:04:37 GMT

At long last, the 32-month circus featuring Congress and the Federal Communication Commission is over.The swearing in Monday of Anna Gomez as the fifth FCC commissioner breaks the agency’s 2-2 deadlock on issues, allowing chair Jessica Rosenworcel to take steps to restore net neutrality rules that were rescinded under then-President Donald Trump.Rosenworcel on Tuesday announced that she will move to reverse the rules that bar internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic, recreating an open internet that is essential for innovation and economic growth and fostering the next generation of tech entrepreneurs. It’s a concept backed by tech pioneers such as Tim Berners-Lee and Vincent Cerf since the beginning days of the internet. They believed that the future of innovation, freedom of speech and democracy in America depends on strong, enforceable net neutrality rules.The American people agree. Polls show that net neutrality is supported by 75% of the popula...
