LET'S HEAL A NATION WITH CANNABIS PASTE

CANNA CASCADIA

As I am going to sleep each night, I often think of the wonderful blogs I will write and the words seem to flow into my mind perfectly, if only I would get out of bed and write those wonderful blogs then, that would be a beautiful thing!
My thoughts are those of reasons and explanations as to why I haven't written a blog post in a while...
Writer's block? yes and no...having been off the internet waiting for my wi-fi service for two weeks, since we have recently moved to a new place that suits me and brings me happiness, with lots of room for gardening, peaceful views of trees, and the sounds of birds including the owls hooting at night, I am in heavenly bliss. I have found my place in the sun! I will admit that being here in this new space has made me evaluate my daily habits, I realized that I am burned out on Facebook, all the hard work and effort in my marketing has left me feeling overdone and uninspired, all the inspirational quotes are falling on blind eyes and deaf ears, as much as I love to be reminded of what to be grateful for, I am always grateful, for life, my family, my new career, the nature all around me and the Summer sun. I am smiling now!
Pinterest has become my new home in my social media campaign for Canna Cascadia, the cannabis people and businesses are there and that is inspiring in itself, like minds I guess.

The waiting is the hardest part!

The wait to help people is growing nearer, as Oregon readies for full cannabis legalization. July 1st is the date we have all been waiting for. If you want to take a stand on a cause, take the legalization of our nation as yours! Vote and legalize, so we may heal a nation, cannabis does cure!


We at Canna Cascadia will be helping Oregonians heal and live pain, disease and symptom-free.
Finding joy in what I do is an amazing feeling, one I haven't felt since my earlier days in catering and it feels so right and good. 
Let us help you, cure you and give you hope and love. 

CANNABIS ART

Our product is Canna Paste, made from the whole buds and processed naturally with coconut oil for that delicious taste. Just two large pea sizes a day will be your prescription for relief and healing for you and your pets, of course, pets will take a lesser dose, we can discuss this during your consultation.
Cannabis Paste is the most effective and affordable medical cannabis product on the market today, we stand behind that claim!

WALK AND RUN GREEN FOR THE CURE



While the people of this nation are gearing up for the 'Race For The Cure', I am attempting to educate people about the truth, the real truth behind the race and the kinder, less harmful way to treat cancer.

Let's look at the man/woman behind the curtain; The Susan G. Komen Foundation takes in an astonishing 200 Billion dollars per year! per year people! this fact alone should tell you something about 'finding' the cure with big pharma and the cancer machine. The billions of dollars taken in by the industry is enough to feed hungry people properly, allow exploring alternatives instead of debilitating treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation..UGH! and admitting that this one plant, the cannabis plant is the one plant on this earth that treats diseases and cures us naturally and humanely, as was intended.

Are we really a nation of 'Sheeple?' It appears we are! 

Jumping on the 'Race For The Cure' bandwagon without question is a sure sign of this fact and the ignorance about the cancer industry. At a time when more and more people are sick with cancer, we should be looking at the fact that 98% of people who use modern medicine are NOT cured, the reality is, those same people will acquire a new kind of cancer, when it spreads to the liver, lungs and other vital organs. The body depleted by the harmful cancer drugs is weakened and unable to fight anything off, much less more cancer. Chemo fails!



Be above the ignorance!

Recently I witnessed two of my neighbors die from breast cancer, sadly it wasn't the cancer that killed either, but the side effects from the medical community's treatments, one died when the chemo drugs caused her blood to thicken and she had a stroke at 48, the second friend and neighbor died within six months of her chemo and radiation, she was so weak and sick, barely able to talk or move and in terrible pain, she died from the cancer spreading to her bones and liver.
These incidents alone are the very reason I did the research, only to reveal some real truths about cancer. 

The cancer cell is a lone cell surrounded by healthy cells. Doesn't it make sense to kill that one cell before it begins to multiply while leaving the healthy cells alone? 
This, my friends is what cannabis does, it causes the cancer cell to commit suicide while keeping the healthy cells healthy. The science is in on this truth.

It is important to know how to treat cancer with cannabis. At Canna Cascadia we recommend an alkaline diet and alkaline water for a better PH balanced body, probiotics for Candida, since cancer cells live in harmony with Candida in a kind of symbiotic relationship, add papaya enzymes to help the gut become healthy and process your food better, vitamin B-17, made with apricot seeds, we need to restore this vitamin within us, and last but most important in the daily regimen is Canna Paste, just two pea size doses per day. That's it!

We will be running and walking for the 'Green Cure'....shouting it to the rooftops, that cannabis cures and chemo kills!

You decide! which would you rather choose when faced with having cancer?


by Ty Bollinger, The Truth About Cancer

 17 CANCER FACTS EVERY PERSON NEEDS TO KNOW AT LINK ABOVE

How well do you know cancer? Not the scientific and medical terms used to describe the disease but general knowledge about the #2 killer in the United States.  It’s incredible that there is so much information online about cancer – available with a few simple keystrokes – but how much do you really know?
There are so many forms of cancer, every patient case is unique, and you will never know everything (though that would be fantastic).  It can be overwhelming.
What you need is working knowledge about cancer.  Who is most at risk?  What factors increase cancer risk in the population at large?  What can you do to get or stay cancer-free?
Some of these cancer facts are common sense but you’ve probably heard the saying, “Common sense…is not so common.”  Even when you know, mentally and physically, that specific lifestyle choices increase your cancer risk…you might not act until it’s too late!
Every day, more than forty children are diagnosed with cancer – more than 14,000 per year in the United States alone.  Cancer (or more accurately the conventional “treatments” for cancer) is the #1 killer of children as a result of this disease.  Today, cancer (and cancer treatments) will claim the lives of four children – more than complications from congenital birth defects, type 1 diabetes, and asthma combined.  The survival rates among children with cancer are not improving because the conventional treatments (chemo and radiation) actually cause cancer and very little emphasis is placed on finding the cause of the disease rather than merely treating symptoms (tumors) by shrinking them with carcinogenic chemicals like chemotherapy. 
This is the sad truth!
Please, choose alternatives instead the harsh cancer drugs that kill!

We MUST stand up against greed and begin to heal the nation!

ACTIVATING CANNABINOID RECEPTORS

70 known Cannabinoids (8 showing)


FROM OUR PARTNERS AT NEW CURE
Edited and published by Right Reverend Gregory Karl Davis
Cannabinoid therapy appears to works marvelously for some, and yet others fail to respond.
Whilst it is critical to consider cannabinoid content as a factor in this (i.e. – Is there enough Cannabidiol (CBD) in your extract? Etc. Another mitigating detail lies within if ones cannabinoid receptors are activated or not.
Methylation has been proven to deactivate CB receptors, and this appears particularly prevalent within cancers of the stomach, colon1 and breast. If methylation can create such an unwanted and critical scenario during cannabinoid therapy, then those undergoing cannabinoid therapy should look to include demethylating2 agents into their regime.
These include; Green Tea, FeverFew and Annurca Apples3 Green Tea is particularly useful as it can also naturally create Anti-Angiogenesis4
Another area that should be explored is within the use of Phenolic Oils.
Phenols and Phenylpropanoids are compounds of carbon-ring molecules incorporating on isoprene unit. They are sometimes called hemiterpenes. There are dozens of varieties of phenylpropanoids. They are found in Clove (90%), Cassia (80%), Basil (75%), Cinnamon (73%), Oregano (60%), Anise (50%), and Peppermint (25%).
While they can create conditions where unfriendly viruses and bacteria cannot live, the most important function performed by phenylpropanoids is that they clean the receptor sites on the cells. Without clean receptor sites cells cannot communicate, and the body malfunctions, resulting in sickness.
David Stewart, PhD, DNM also suggests in his book 'The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple’ – that phenolic oils can clean receptor sites.
Prof. Dr. Jürg Gertsch of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine, Switzerland conducted a brilliant research paper5 looking for Phytocannabinoids beyond cannabis.
Prof Jürg Gertsch was kind enough to suggest the essential oil of Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm) due to its terpenoid content, as a way to activate CB receptors, based on some preliminary research he has conducted.
In, 'Turned-Off Cannabinoid Receptor Turns on Colorectal Tumor Growth' published on www.drugs.com
6. HOUSTON, Aug. 1, 2008 – New preclinical research shows that cannabinoid cell surface receptor CB1 plays a tumor-suppressing role in human colorectalcancer, scientists report in the Aug. 1 edition of the journal Cancer Research. CB1 is well-established for relieving pain and nausea, elevating mood and stimulating appetite by serving as a docking station for the cannabinoid group of signaling molecules. It now may serve as a new path for cancer prevention or treatment.
“We’ve found that CB1 expression is lost in most colorectal cancers, and when that happens a cancer-promoting protein is free to inhibit cell death,” said senior author Raymond DuBois, M.D., Ph.D., provost and executive vice president of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. DuBois and collaborators from Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center also show that CB1 expression can be restored with an existing drug, decitabine. They found that mice prone to developing intestinal tumors that also have functioning CB1 receptors develop fewer and smaller tumors when treated with a drug that mimics a cannabinoid receptor ligand. Ligands are molecules that function by binding to specific receptors. Agonists are synthetic molecules that mimic the action of a natural molecule.
“Potential application of cannabinoids as anti-tumor drugs is an exciting prospect, because cannabinoid agonists are being evaluated now to treat the side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy,” DuBois said. “Turning CB1 back on and then treating with a cannabinoid agonist could provide a new approach to colorectal cancer treatment or prevention.”

In study entitled, "Loss of cannabinoid receptor 1 accelerates intestinal tumor growth," concluded, "In conclusion, our studies reveal the molecular mechanism by which cannabinoids inhibit tumor growth. We found that aberrant methylation of CB1 represents a clear mechanism for loss of expression in CRC. Using multiple approaches, we provide in vivo evidence demonstrating that endocannabinoid signaling via CB1 plays a key role in regulating intestinal tumor growth. Importantly, we elucidated the signaling pathway that mediates the pro-apoptotic effects of CB1. Moreover, our results may provide a rationale for the development of CB1 agonists that do not cross the blood-brain barrier for cancer prevention or treatment in combination with a demethylating agent.
Cannabinoids are a group of ligands that serve a variety of cell-signaling roles. Some are produced by the body internally (endocannabinoids). External cannabinoids include manmade versions and those present in plants, most famously the active ingredient in marijuana (THC).
Receptor shutdown by methylation
Endocannabinoid signaling is important to the normal functioning of the digestive system and has been shown to protect the colon against inflammation. Since chronic inflammation is a known risk factor for colorectal cancer, the researchers decided to look into the role of cannabinoid receptors in a mouse model of colon cancer.
“People have looked at cannabinoids in cancer earlier, mainly in cell culture experiments,” DuBois said. “The molecular mechanisms for loss of the receptor and its effect on cancer have not been previously shown.”
First, the team found that CB1 was largely absent in 18 of 19 human tumor specimens and in 9 of 10 colorectal cancer cell lines. Further experimentation showed that the gene that encodes the CB1 protein was not damaged, but shut down chemically by the attachment of methyl groups – a carbon atom surrounded by three hydrogen atoms – to the gene encoding CB1.

Nadine Bews regimen calls for 1/8 teaspoon of grocery store cinnamon (cinnamon cassia) taken daily with 1 oz minimum coca chocolate 90% butter, per 1 gram cannabis indica extract at night  for colon, stomach, breast cancers. Also, her regimen calls for 1-2 qt. Soda water with cranberry extract added to aid kidney function to move fluids. Another practioner suggests adding as much lemon juice as tolerable for aid in handling THC side effects.
To quote from a medical research paper here: here we find that the CB1 cannabinoid receptor is also effected by curcumin -The dietary polyphenols trans-resveratrol and curcumin selectively bind human CB1 cannabinoid receptors with nanomolar affinities and function as antagonists/inverse agonists. We really cannot comprehend this report but have added for fellow researchers to determine the significance. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19359525

THE 5 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO CURE YOUR CANCER!



Most of us know someone who is suffering from a disease or illness and all of us know or have known someone with cancer. We live in the age of cancer and the lifetime risk of developing cancer is an unfathomable 40.4 percent of men and women that will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetime.

The rhetoric about the war on cancer implies that with enough money and determination, science might reduce cancer mortality as dramatically as it has with other leading killers — one more notch in medicine’s belt? Treating cancer is BIG business in America -- in fact, it's a $200 billion a year business. Yet 98 percent of conventional cancer treatments not only FAIL miserably, but are also almost guaranteed to make cancer patients sicker. What's worse: The powers are suppressing natural cancer cures that could help tens of thousands of people get well and live cancer free with little or no dependence on drugs, surgery, and chemotherapy. 
Not shocked enough yet? A rigorous review of chemotherapy revealed that it fails for 98% of people.
The treatment of cancer in the U.S. is one of the most bald-faced cover-ups in medical history. Enough is enough!


The truth is that the cancer machine, which includes big pharma is a big money pit and the people of this nation are becoming wise to alternative methods of healing and demanding the legalization of medicinal cannabis across the nation. With more and more of the medical and scientific communities speaking out about the effects of THC and CBD on curing disease, treating pain and symptoms of many illnesses, we are experiencing a shift in the choices people are making in regard to their health and wellness. We are taking the control back and placing it firmly in our own hands.

Why are so many people getting cancer?


What we at Canna Cascadia for New Cure learned about the causes of cancer - 


Number One Cause - Candida and cancer -


Cancer and candida are apparently closely related. Some even claim Candida causes cancer while others say they both originate and thrive in the same low pH, high acidic environment, possibly with a symbiotic relationship.

Candida yeast fungi are present to some extent in most or perhaps all of us. When the fungus overwhelms the gut's probiotic presence is when Candida begins to be an overall health threat.

When it comes to the relationship of candida to cancer, there are increasing reports of cancer tumors residing amongst Candida colonies from many orthodox medical sources.


Prior to treating the cancer that resides in your body, we must create a body free of Candida so that cannabis  may work to kill the cancerous cells while leaving your healthy cells alone. It is amazing and miraculous how THC and CBD works, crossing the blood-brain barrier, curing and healing us, stopping the pain and returning our bodies to their original healthy state by using the one plant in nature that's own molecular structure replenishes our body's Endocannabinoid System, and that plant is cannabis!


Here are the steps to take before using cannabis paste to cure your disease and treat the symptoms of diseases including but, not limited to cancer. We must include all the inflammatory diseases, epilepsy, PTSD, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, arthritis and many more including cancer in pets.



So, let's treat the candida first -


The overlapping and crossover symptoms of Candida overgrowth, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Celiac disease, and other conditions connected to chronic fatigue are mind boggling. This simple test that may determine if you have Candida overgrowth.

Have a glass of water by your bedside. Upon awakening, spit into the water. Every 15 minutes for an hour, look for the following indicators: Stringy trails from the surface saliva dangling like jellyfish tentacles, tiny cloudy spots suspended in the water, the saliva blob drops intact into the bottom of the glass.

The later any visual indicators show, the less infected you are. Indicators showing within the first few minutes may point to a worse condition. No indicators may mean you're free from Candida overgrowth.


The 5 necessary steps to take if you discover you have candida based cancer in your body  -


1) TotalFlora and ThreeLac probiotics are considered both potent enough to kill yeast fungus cells and provide friendly flora gut linings.
There are several natural remedies suggested for resolving Candida issues: Wild oregano oil, Pao D' Arco, garlic, whole clove teas, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, and even cold pressed virgin coconut oil is highly recommended. (http://www.naturalnews.com/033459_candida_natural_remedies.html)

2) Drink lots of clean alkaline water (with a PH of at least 9.5) throughout the day.

      * alkaline water can be purchased at most grocery stores, I use
        the Essentia water. This will restore and balance your body's natural PH.
Some people add lemon juice to water to create the PH balance, I do this when I am out of Alkaline water.

3) Add Enzymes to your daily health regimen. The Papaya enzymes work best. You may take up to 9 a day, at least two after each meal.


4) Add the vitamin B-17 (Amygdalin) one a day. This is an Apricot seed powder supplement.


5) Two large pea size doses of Cannabis Paste a day.

For those of you in chronic pain, you may need to take a little larger dose until your pain is controlled and if you haven't had a good nights sleep in a while, you will sleep like a baby.
CANNA PASTE


Follow this treatment and you are well on your way to a healthy, cancer-free body!
Cannabis Paste has none of the side effects that chemo and radiation cause, we are building up the body and killing just the cancer cells while preserving the healthy cells.
Depleting the body and tearing it down with chemo is not the answer, isn't it obvious why?

LISTEN TO CANNA CAT FOR NEW CURE

CANNA CAT

Anyone Over 21 Can Get Cannabis Paste! In states with legalized medical use. In some states, it may require a Patient Medical Marijuana Card or Caretaker Card. 
If you own a dispensary or clinic
Contact us for wholesale opportunities.

By law New Cure has found a loophole, so we at CANNA CASCADIA can provide healing and hope for you, allowing anyone (over 21) anywhere to obtain the Cannabis Paste.This means any strain of cannabis or hemp. THC free or not. High in CBD or not, Cannabis Paste is the most effective form of Cannabis.

Your medical records are NOT required. Anyone who wants the paste must consult with our staff via phone and proof of age will be required.

Even though THC is frowned upon or not legal in many states when given to children, it is hands down far more effective in reducing seizures and fighting off cancer and other illnesses and so much better and more compassionate than chemotherapy and radiation! We want to build the body up not tear it down with dangerous chemicals, chemo is poison. 

CBD is amazing by itself, but THC and CBD together are the far better choice. So if you are contemplating and are not sure about giving or taking a high THC strain, you might want to weigh the facts that in most cases pharmaceutical drugs are very damaging and cause layers of mental and physical damage. It's a choice you have to make. New Cure has expressed its opinion but is NOT prescribing or recommending high-THC strains to children due to legal reasons. We wish you the best in this tough decision. You don't have to get anyone high/stoned in order for the seizures to reduce or stop. It takes a small amount of the paste to decrease the seizures or fight off cancer or Lyme disease. The point is the majority of people taking drugs like Keppra experience horrible side effects, the crazy thing is you never hear negative stories about Cannabis, more doctors today are endorsing and prescribing Cannabis products for their patients, as more and more success stories from patients arrive and scientists continue to tout the benefits and healing properties of Cannabis. We will all see Cannabis as a medicine become more mainstream.
We have the testimonials to prove the positive results that Canna Paste offers!

In regard to cancer -


It is important to maintain a super healthy green diet! Don't expect to survive by Cannabis only. Yes, Cannabis Paste is amazing and can change a person's life but you need to correct the heath problem. We have recently learned that if your cancer is candida based that diatomaceous earth works best for ridding the body of candida and parasites, this way cannabis will have a clear pathway to the body's receptors.

Why did you get Cancer? Here is a great article to look at - Click Here

For a free and friendly consultation, we are happy to help you acquire Canna Paste.

Our purpose is to help and heal you!
We will get back to you within 48 hours -

A CANNABIS PASTE LOVE STORY!




These days I find myself using exclamation points in excess. In trying to break the habit of using emoticons and too many exclamation points to illustrate my feelings of love and excitement and wondering if any intelligent person should use them. I decided that being as happy and excited as I am about cannabis paste and our new business with New Cure at Canna Cascadia temporarily warrants my overuse of the exclamation point! and so it is, for now.

Knowing what I know about cannabis paste, as a user of the product myself, it is only right that I shout it to the rooftops with nothing less than excitement, with the hope that people will know it's incredible value to our health and wellness, our bodies require it, we were born with an endocannabinoid system already in place within us, and as we age and are affected by free radicals, the soil where our food is grown now depleted of the hemp that used to be grown more readily in our country, now gone, we must replenish that system to feel good and right and to ward off disease and illness, this I know firsthand and prior to my use of cannabis paste I was experiencing some health issues, including the big 'C', which I refuse to label and own as mine! Inflammation alone is a huge factor in our health and having found cannabis as a cure, inflammation is no longer an issue for me. My belief is that everyone should use cannabis for a balanced body, in general, and as an anti-inflammatory.

Few things make me happier than hearing stories of healing and hope from the people who use cannabis paste. Canna Cascadia is blessed to be part of a mission to help and heal people, that is our hope, our purpose, and our mission! From your children to your pet and of course yourself, we plan to heal this country and create a healthier nation for all.

We wish you good health and healing with our love and compassion.
Now, here comes the exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!
Because I can! Doing the happy dance for
 Canna Cascadia!



Another reason to be excited about cannabis as the cure!!! Cannabis cures depression too!!! 


Let's cure a nation!

CANNABIS CURE FOR DOGS

Cannabis Paste For Dog Cancer

 Cannabis Paste Cure From Canna Cascadia

One of the most heartbreaking things we have ever witnessed was a beautiful dog with cancer, having already gone through chemotherapy, this poor dog was suffering so badly that we had to wonder, why would people put their loving pet through this misery and pain? Was it for the pet owner or the dog? It was a horrible sight to see!

We now know that there is an alternative to curing dog cancer and we are very grateful!




If you are hoping there is a better way to save your dog's life from cancer?
There are people around the world learning about Cannabis Paste as a New Cure for Dogs. Chemotherapy is as foolish and deadly to dogs as it is for humans. So what natural alternatives are there? 
Here are couple of the recommended steps. 
Please, contact us at Canna Cascadia for a free consultation.

1) Cannabis Paste added to the food
2) Eliminate Carbs
3) Add Curcumin, a derivative of the Indian spice Turmeric
4) Antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin C and E, and Selenium
5) Throw out the horrible dog food and cook your own from scratch. 

An example of good dog food would be chicken, rice and vegetables, you may add the vitamins and spices to the homemade dog food.


Here is more exciting news for treating dogs with Cannabis Paste!

Cannabis advocates are no strangers to the social stigma that comes with using marijuana medically, so you can only imagine the number of eyebrows raised by the idea of treating an animal with hemp-derived cannabinoids. Even here in the progressive and cannabis friendly state of Oregon, the issue was met with a spectrum of reactions ranging from curious to outraged, confusing CBD consumption with “feeding an animal marijuana, this is just not the case.


If you are considering treating your pet with cannabinoids, you should do so under the guidance of a knowledgeable veterinarian. It’s clear that even medical professionals are still wary of marijuana and hemp-based medications for animals. If we are to carve out a good name for cannabis, it’s critical that we don’t allow any harm to come to our furry friends. These types of medicines are still in their infancy, however, it is truly exciting to witness a new frontier of therapeutic options for your dog’s improved quality of life and a cure. 


 There is also the exciting new Cannabis Paste treatment for Epileptic seizures for your  dog.


Normally, a Veterinarian will prescribe Phenobarbitol for Epileptic seizures, we all know that couldn't be good. 


For companion animals, even the American Veterinary Medical Association website carries testimonials favoring veterinary cannabis, in which caregivers attest to significant benefits in their animals, who were unresponsive or intolerant of mainstream pharmaceuticals.
Because of the higher toxicity of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in dogs compared to humans, many cannabis products sold for dogs list cannabidiol *(CBD) instead of THC as the main active ingredient. (THC is the substance in cannabis that typically makes human users high.)

*CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid whose anti-epileptic properties were made widely known through the many stories of children finding relief from Epileptic seizures, and it  just so happened that companies were already putting out dog-specific CBD formulations derived from cannabis. We at Canna Cascadia for New Cure are proudly one of those companies.


CBD reduces pain, inflammation and anxiety as well as seizure activity. Research suggests that CBD has lower toxicity and higher tolerability than THC in both humans and non-humans.


Yes, People Are Giving Their Pets Medical Marijuana, even cats!

Is it ever a good idea to get your dog or cat stoned? 
The answer depends on whether your pet could be classified as a medical marijuana patient.
Perhaps the nation's overtly 420-friendly vet, California veterinarian Doug Kramer has crowdsourced a slew of research on pot for pets. Through submissions to his website, and surveys distributed at pot dispensaries, he has amassed more than 500 case studies, the vast majority of them positive, he says. Most people use cannabis to treat their dogs and cats for pain, seizures, and inflammation stemming from arthritis. About 20 percent of phone calls to Kramer's office now come from other cannabis-curious vets.

"Anything people find effective when treating themselves, they are going to transfer to their pets," Kramer argues. He believes that lifting the veterinary taboo on pot would help pet owners make sure they're using cannabis safely. (He has published his own guide on the website) Ultimately, Kramer wants California and other states to allow the family dog to get its own pot card.
Kramer is one of the few veterinarians even willing to discuss using medical marijuana for pets. He points out that a slew of medical studies on the effects of pot have relied on rats and dogs as substitutes for humans, suggesting that "mammals have the same cannabinoid receptors as humans do" and "would benefit in the same ways."

But why stop there? He tells me of a woman who fed her horse cannabis-infused butter to treat it for laminitis, a foot disease that causes painful swelling. "She said it was like a new horse afterward!"

Of course, this is not how to give cannabis to a horse...ha!
