Medical marijuana has been used to treat muscle spasms, nausea from cancer chemotherapy and seizure disorders among other illnesses in humans.
But does medicinal marijuana ease pain in dogs as well?
One day before a scheduled vet appointment to euthanize her dog, a California woman decided to give her ailing 15-year-old labrador mix cookies from a marijuana dispensary made specifically for dogs, according to Quartz.com.
To the surprise of the woman, her labrador Kali stopped licking her paws - a sign of pain according to the vet- after 20 minutes. After giving Kali two more marijuana-laced treats, the woman noticed the dog got up to drink water and go outside, which Kali couldn't previously do without noticeable pain.
The woman then canceled the vet appointment because of how responsive Kali was after eating the cookies.
But as Quartz.com reports, without industry guidelines nor scientific evidence to back the treats, the pet-pot market is straddling a legal gray area that raises challenges for companies that want to distribute cannabis-derived products for animals.
However, that isn't stopping investors and companies from getting on board with the idea.
