YOUR DOG THE MUNCHIES. Find out more about canines, cannabis and CBD. Dogs hanging out in drum circles, playing hacky sack. Cats who are super into listening to "The Dark Side of the Moon" and laser shows. If that's how you imagine Balance Bloom CBD Gummies products affecting your pet, don't worry. CBD (cannabidiol) does come from cannabis but there's nothing trippy about it. It's just a great calming supplement. FIRST OFF, CBD ISN'T MARIJUANA. They both come from the cannabis plant but have very different results. Marijuana is a type of cannabis with lots of THC (the psychoactive component that gives you a high) and very little CBD. CBD comes from the other type of cannabis, hemp-it's high in soothing CBD and has only trace amounts of THC (that means 0.3%, or less). CBG (cannabigerol) is another beneficial cannabinoid from hemp which is seen in pet supplements. A FEW DIFFERENCES AND BENEFITS ACROSS PRODUCTS. When it comes to CBD and CBG supplements, your pet has options, including full or broad-spectrum products.

Full spectrum contains less than .3% THC. Broad spectrum contains no detectable CBD. Both hemp products contain several canniboids, terpenes, flavonoids, antioxidants, fatty acids, Balance Bloom CBD Gummies vitamins and minerals that can benefit your pet's wellness. HOW IT'S MADE MATTERS. All CBD is made from hemp extractions, but there's a variety of methods for extracting hemp. When finding the right product for your pet, it's best to avoid CBD made by butane or ethanol extraction. These toxic substances can be left behind in the oil. CO2 extraction is a safe alternative. Come across hemp seed oil? Same plant, different product. FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR PET. CBD and CBG come in lots of delivery options including oils, biscuits, soft chews, capsules, salves, gels and even products that mix it with food, such as peanut butter. Once taken, you should see results within 15-30 minutes, and those should last about 4-8 hours. CBD and CBG should be safe for your pet to take with other medications but, as with any major change, it's always good to check with your vet. OUR FAVORITES? GLAD YOU ASKED. We carry a variety of CO2-extracted Balance Bloom CBD Gummies and CBG products. Choose from oils, chews, supplements, treats and more in-store or shop online at hemp products.

After clearing its way through EU-GMP certification, a North Macedonian company is now able to export medical cannabis products to the EU. How will this affect the landscape of medical cannabis in Europe? In Macedonia, cannabis is not legal for recreational use at all, and there are no decriminalization or personal use laws to boot. However, in 2016, Macedonia did approve a bill for medical cannabis within the country. As per Macedonian laws, which sync with EU laws here, oils and extracts can have up to .2% THC and still be sold without a prescription. Cannabis with any higher THC amount can be obtained through prescription. The laws allow for private citizens to make use of medical cannabis, as well as for Macedonia to enter into the legal medical cannabis market with laws to cover cultivation, production, and exportation for medicinal use. Since that time, and according to internal legislation, Macedonia has been exporting extracts, oils, and tinctures, but that’s it.

And while that does account for about 30% of the market, the great majority - 70% - relies on smokable hemp flowers, which Macedonia had not been cleared to export at all. Until now though, the EU was not included in exportable locations for any goods as no companies had EU-GMP authorization. What’s the biggest problem? One of the biggest issues for Macedonia is that cannabis flowers have not been legalized for exportation. A big factor in this inability comes from internal licensing issues that stem from allegations of corruption. The allegations centered around former Prime Minister Zoran Zaev showing preferential treatment when giving out licenses, opting to give them to friends and family members which would, in turn, benefit him personally. There were also a lot of questions and calls for specifications relating to how licensing would generally work, issues related to the program being government run, and opposition to the €500 bank guarantee that many thought would make it harder for smaller enterprises to gain ground.
