Scientists call on US to allow
research on pot meds for pets
By ANDREW SELSKY
Associated Press
BEND — Dr. Byron Maas
surveys a supply of marijuana
products for dogs that lines a
shelf in his veterinary clinic.
They’re selling well.
“The ‘Up and Moving’
is for joints and for pain,” he
explains. “The ‘Calm and
Quiet’ is for real anxious dogs,
to take away that anxiety.”
People anxious to relieve
suffering in their pets are
increasingly turning to oils and
powders that contain CBDs, a
nonpsychoactive component
of marijuana. But there’s little
data on whether they work, or if
they have harmful side effects.
That’s because Washing-
ton, D.C., has been standing in
the way of clinical trials, vet-
erinarians and researchers say.
Now, a push is underway to
have barriers removed, so both
pets and people can benefit.
Those barriers have had
more than just a chilling effect.

announced last year that even
marijuana extracts with CBD
and little or no THC — mar-
ijuana’s intoxicating compo-
nent — are an illegal Sched-
ule 1 drug, the University of
Pennsylvania halted its clini-
cal trials. Colorado State Uni-
versity is pushing ahead.
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has warned
companies that sell marijuana
products online and via pet
shops and animal hospitals
that they’re violating laws by
offering “unapproved new ani-
mal drugs.” The FDA threat-
ened legal action.
But, seeing potential ben-
efits of CBDs, the American
Veterinary Medical Associ-
ation’s policy-making body
said last summer it wants the
DEA to declassify marijuana
as a Schedule 1 drug “to facil-
itate research opportunities for
veterinary and human medical
uses.” It asked the board of the
national veterinarians’ organi-
zation to investigate working
with other stakeholders toward
that goal. The board is await-
ing a recommendation from
two group councils.
“The concern our member-
ship has is worry about people
extrapolating their own dos-
ages, looking to medicate their
pets outside the realm of the
medical professional,” Board
Chairman Michael Whitehair
said in a telephone interview.
“This is an important reason
for us to continue the research.”
U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a
conservative Utah Republican,
became an unlikely champion
of this push when he intro-
duced a bill in September that
would open the path for more
clinical research. While Hatch
said he opposes recreational
marijuana use, he wants mar-
ijuana-based drugs, regulated
by the FDA, produced for peo-
ple with disorders.
“We lack the science to
support use of medical mari-
juana products like CBD oils,
not because researchers are
unwilling to do the work, but
because of bureaucratic red
tape and over-regulation,”
Hatch said.
