Veterinarians will soon prescribe Cannabis.
AB 2215 was signed by Governor Brown on September 27 and takes effect on January 1, 2019.
The CVMA (Califorina Veterinary Medical Association) was a driving force in the passage of this bill, that will allow veterinarians to discuss the use of cannabis with their clients.
The question is: are the veterinarians ready to prescribe?
Many veterinarians are accustomed to using generic response pharmaceuticals. I hope the CVMA takes their industry education seriously with more workshops on information such as: dosing protocols, how The Endocannabinoid System works and the difference/effects of the different types of products on the market! Not all products are created equally.
I look forward to continuing to assist in moving this very needed conversation forward!
