Friday night saw yet another milestone for the CBD market as millions saw EastEnders actor Pam St. Clement discuss our official Canabidol™ CBD products on national television.
Gone to Pot was broadcast as part of an ITV documentary into the growing popularity of cannabis oil around the country, the excerpt showed Ms St. Clement holding a syringe of Canabidol’s unmistakable, highly-refined 75% cannabis extract which she has been using since returning from The States, while discussing the disparity between the law on such products around the world. America, as many of the interviewees pointed out is way ahead of the UK when it comes to the embracing of CBD as a viable supplement. States such as California, Colorado and Oregon are steering the USA towards complete federal freedom… (although maybe not until we see a new administration.)
The programme highlighted the difficulties faced by people who rely on CBD, yet cannot access it for one reason or another.
ITV’s brave decision to screen the 3 part documentary last week during prime time won praise throughout the industry, who celebrated its balanced tone and appreciation for the delicate nuance of the situation. And they’re not alone, with critics and the public both warmly empathising with the subjects. After receiving widespread praise for the humanising way in which the narrative follows the real lives of the many “normal’ people who use cannabis oil in one form or another.
That approach; at once both intimate and revealing, allowed the documentary to highlight the scandal of a situation in which all too many are left behind by a mis-led health sector and an uncaring government. It provided a harrowing yet much-needed illustration of the futile and arbitrary nature of the drug laws bequeathed to our seemingly unconcerned leaders. Only to become lost in the myriad obstacles a career politician must avoid taking a stance over, lest he be judged for what he believes. And the users, as they handled the absurd hurdles placed between them and the substance they relied on, were only ever the good guys, the rebels. The sane minority speaking out against an insane system.

But it was Pam St. Clement’s involvement that stole the show. A national treasure of the highest order, Pam, who has played Pat Butcher for over three decades is without a doubt one of the most well-known public-eye figures to have come forward as pro-CBD. The very fact that she was willing to step up and sing the praises of UK CBD oil, and specifically the similarity of Canabidol™ products that she is using with those that were tried by the other celebrities over in The States, is seismic in importance. Her voice has joined millions just like hers calling for more legitimacy, fairness and common-sense altruism.
So, if Canabidol™ products and the health promoting properties of CBD are working for Pam, you can be confident that they could be beneficial for you too.

At Honest Marijuana, we love our pets. We want them to be happy and healthy and live a long time as cherished members of our families. That’s why we’re so delighted to put together this definitive guide to CBD oil for dogs.
In this article, we’ll talk about:
We’ll also discuss dosage recommendations and what side effects, if any, you can expect when using CBD oil for dogs. Before we get to that, though, we’ll answer the most basic question in this entire discussion: what is CBD?
CBD’s scientific name is cannabidiol. It is a member of a class of chemicals known as cannabinoids. Other common cannabinoids include:
All of these cannabinoids are found, to varying degrees, in the marijuana plant. And as you can see from their multi-syllabic scientific names, they can be a mouthful to say. That’s why most people just use the abbreviations.
The human brain contains neurons that interact directly with the cannabinoids found in marijuana. These neurons have come to be known as cannabinoid receptors. For example, when THC interacts with these cannabinoid receptors, it produces a psychoactive effect that is known as getting high. When CBD interacts with those same cannabinoid receptors, on the other hand, it produces a broad range of medicinal effects without the high provided by THC.
The intriguing thing about all this chemistry is that research now shows CBD to have many of the same medicinal effects on dogs that it has on humans. But you don’t want to sprinkle raw marijuana into your doggy’s dish in an attempt to make him feel better. Raw marijuana isn’t good for man or beast.
To achieve the beneficial effects CBD can have on your canine friend, you need to give her CBD oil for dogs. But what exactly is CBD oil? We’ll answer that question in the next section.
CBD oil is a concentrated extract, or tincture, of the cannabis plant. More specifically, it’s an extract of a high-CBD/low-THC strain of the cannabis plant. This extract is produced by passing a solvent—like CO2, butane, alcohol, olive oil, or even ice water—over the mature cannabis plant matter.
As the solvent passes over and through the leaves, stems, and stalk, it dissolves (extracts) the cannabinoids, terpenes, and trichomes and holds them in the solution. The solvent is then forced to evaporate, leaving behind an oily concentrate known as CBD oil (as well as various other slang terms).
It’s important to understand that CBD oil is non-psychoactive for dogs, so there’s no way to get your furry little friend high on CBD oil. That’s the beauty of the stuff—it’s all medical benefits without the drawbacks of regular marijuana.
Now that you know what CBD is and how CBD oil is made, let’s investigate the benefits of CBD oil for dogs.
Like humans, dogs can suffer from a wide variety of illnesses, both physical and mental. CBD oil can help decrease the symptoms of those illnesses and make them easier to bear. Here are some of the benefits of CBD oil for dogs.
Evidence from scientific studies shows that CBD has a threefold effect on cancer cells:
Though laboratory studies have only been conducted on mice and rats, numerous reports from humans (like Rick Simpson) have shown some very promising results. It’s not hard to see how CBD oil for dogs can be used to treat cancer.
Seizures—disruptions in electrical activity that can result in violent shaking—originate in the brain and can be very difficult to treat. CBD oil has been shown to significantly reduce the intensity and number of those electrical disruptions in the human brain.
Because our four-legged friends have the same cannabinoid receptors in their brains as humans do, they too can benefit from a suppression of seizures by using CBD oil.
Anxiety and depression occur as a result of an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, and both humans and dogs are susceptible to these disorders. The introduction of CBD into the brain can normalize and stabilize the chemical fluctuations that lead to anxiety and depression. CBD also interacts with both the adenosine and serotonin receptors in the brain to help them work properly.
Pain and swelling in most higher mammals (like humans and dogs) are regulated by the vanilloid receptor in the brain. When CBD interacts with these types of neurons, it effectively blocks the receptor from turning on and prevents it from signaling the rest of the body to exhibit pain and become inflamed.
CBD stimulates appetite and decreases nausea by interacting with certain neurons in the brain. This can encourage an already-ill body to begin repairing itself, especially when the body (dog or human) is suffering from a systemic illness like cancer or seizures. The body needs energy from food to fight those disorders, and if it can’t get enough nourishment, the illness wins.
The side effects of CBD oil for dogs are minimal and only occur in extreme cases. The most commonly reported side effect among CDB-oil users is drowsiness. But most report that the drowsiness is very similar to that produced by an antihistamine, like Benadryl.
Extreme side effects include itchiness or vomiting, but these reactions are rare. That’s it for the side effects. And really, do you consider drowsiness a side effect? Sounds like just another benefit. After all, your dog is already going to sleep, on average, 14 hours a day anyway.
The easiest way to administer CBD oil for dogs is directly into their mouths with an eyedropper. You can also drip CBD oil onto a small treat and feed it to your dog. Keep in mind that CBD is not a fast-acting chemical. It can take a few hours for your dog to experience pain relief and a few days to see a decrease in inflammation.
Every dog is different, so we highly recommend starting with a low dose. That way, your dog can get used to the new chemical in his system. Here is our recommended progression for giving your dog CBD oil.
You’ll notice in the above progression that the number of drops per pound never changes. Only the frequency with which you administer those drops changes. The key to this progression is to observe your dog’s reaction and find a dosage that provides the benefits you’re looking for without the side effects.
If any of those side effects do occur, stop treatment immediately, wait for the effects to resolve, and then restart the progression at a lower dose.
The best thing to do when you’re considering buying CBD oil for your dog is to talk to the professionals at your local marijuana dispensary. They can provide guidance regarding all things marijuana and point you in the right direction so you can choose the best CBD oil available.
You can also talk to your veterinarian about CBD oil for dogs, but don’t be surprised if he recommends against it. The results of CBD research are promising, but they are also new. Your vet may not be up on all the latest science. Take his advice, but don’t let it dissuade you from trying CBD oil for your dog.
Research on your own, and then talk to other dog owners to see what they know. And remember that the side effects are largely nil, so it won’t hurt to try CBD oil for yourself. If your dog reacts badly, you can always stop.
