“…When evaluating predictors of reuse of CBDs in animals, we found that CBD efficacy ratings and positive attitudes were strong predictors of CBD reuse. It is well known that higher ratings of efficacy of certain products lead to the more likely use of these products in the future ( 13 , 44 ). Contrary to our hypotheses, postmodern health values were not significant predictors of CBD first use and reuse in cats and dogs.…”

“…In the early 1990s, new laws were enacted allowing cannabis use under strict conditions, including the use of cannabis-based medicines, partly due to renewed scientific interest triggered by anecdotal reports of the medicinal use of cannabis-based products (10,12). Despite legal restrictions on the use of cannabis products, there is growing evidence that people are using them to treat conditions that cannot be cured with conventional medications or to support current treatments (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). In addition, the use of such products is extended to family members, including children (19,20) and even pets (21)(22)(23).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the personal experience and attitudes of Slovenian pet owners regarding cannabinoid (CBD) use and to identify the predictors of the first use and reuse of CBDs in dogs and cats. We hypothesized that positive attitudes toward CBDs, postmodern health values, and personal experience would be significant predictors of CBD use in animals. An open online survey targeted randomly selected Slovenian dog and cat owners, regardless of their experience with cannabis products. The questionnaire consisted of six sections related to demographic data and personal experience with CBD use, information about the participant's animal, experience with CBD use in the participant's animal, reasons for not using CBDs in their animal, attitudes toward CBD use in dogs and cats, and postmodern health values. Descriptive statistics were performed to analyze demographics, personal experience with CBD use, and experience with CBD use in dogs and cats. Hierarchical multiple regression using the enter method was performed to analyze the important predictors of CBD use. A total of 408 completed questionnaires were included in the statistical analysis. A substantial proportion (38.5%) of owners had already used CBDs to treat their animal. Positive attitudes and previous personal experience were significant (p < 0.05) predictors of first use and reuse of CBDs in pets, while postmodern health values were not. In conclusion, the decision to use CBDs for medicinal purposes is based on acquired information and personal experience. Veterinarians should be informed and familiar with CBDs as a treatment option. However, further research is essential to establish the use of CBDs in veterinary medicine. Improved laws and regulations are also needed to ensure that only high-quality medications are prescribed to dogs and cats.

“…Even as the prescription of cannabinoids is growing, the situation of physicians in North America is not always straightforward. Physicians in Canada reported they were not comfortable prescribing cannabinoids [35], and a study in the US concluded that ophthalmologists need more education about the medical use of cannabinoids to better respond to patient (mis)perceptions of the value of cannabis in glaucoma therapy [36]. The North American context differs from the Swiss, although in Switzerland, too, treatment with cannabinoids still needs clarification.…”

“…La creencia de que el cannabis tiene beneficios médicos es particularmente relevante para el apoyo a la legalización del cannabis medicinal y para las intenciones de uso (Belyea et al, 2016). Es posible que el aumento reciente en la evidencia que respalda sus aportes en temas de salud incremente la creencia acerca de los beneficios del UMC en la población general, lo que a su vez puede aumentar el apoyo público para su regulación o legalización (Sznitman & Bretteville-Jensen, 2015).…”

Uso medicinal de cannabis: una revisión de la evidencia

Este estudio pretende reportar la evidencia actual sobre el uso medicinal de cannabis existente en la base de datos Scopus. Se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de las publicaciones científicas, entre el periodo 2013-2017, disponibles en Scopus sobre el uso medicinal de cannabis. Estados Unidos es el país con mayor cantidad de publicaciones, seguido de Canadá e Israel; existiendo un aumento progresivo y constante de la evidencia entre los años 2013 y 2017. Los contenidos de las publicaciones versan sobre efectos beneficiosos y adversos para la salud, consecuencias de la legislación del cannabis y su asociación con diversas variables. Existe una falta de estudios en uso medicinal de cannabis respecto a tratamientos y enfermedades, su estandarización, vías de administración y dosis, dando cuenta de la necesidad de un volumen mayor de investigaciones al respecto.
