While most CBD products are specifically marketed to us humans, more and more people are using CBD to help their pets. Veterinarians and animal lovers alike are talking about how CBD can benefit pets, especially cats, dogs, and horses. Although more research should be conducted, there are a few promising studies that show how CBD can help pets, especially dogs. A 2018 survey of veterinarians found that many veterinarians have noticed that CBD seemed to reduce anxiety and pain in dogs. Another study suggested that CBD could help with atopic dermatitis (an allergic rash) in dogs. A promising 2017 study found that CBD might be able to reduce seizures in epileptic dogs, too. The available research suggests that CBD is safe for dogs. With that said, we strongly recommend talking to a veterinarian before giving your pet Balance Bloom CBD official (or any new health product). A CBD-friendly veterinarian will be best equipped to advise you on whether CBD will help your pet.

They can also offer suggestions on dosage, products, and more. There are a wide range of CBD products for pets out there, from tinctures and treats to balms, salves, and creams. Because interest in CBD has increased, more companies are creating pet-specific CBD items, which means we’re spoiled for choice.

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.

With Zaev no longer in office, and with Corona issues subsiding enough to get back to regular business, the issue of Macedonia selling flowers can once again be broached. But in the meantime, while flowers might still be illegal for export, and while several companies have been awarded licensing for cultivation, only one company thus far has received EU GMP clearance to export its products (by Macedonian law) into the EU, making Macedonia a new competitor in the medicinal marijuana game there. So, who is it? The company PharmaCann Polska received the EU-GMP certification to produce cannabis extracts (still not flowers) in its North Macedonia production facility. PharmaCann is actually based out of Warsaw, Poland, and received its EU-GMP certifications in March (amid Corona), by the Chief Pharmaceutical Inspectorate of Poland, after full inspections of the facility were made. The facility is reportedly an indoor growing operation that can both cultivate and manufacture products. Zlatko Keskovski, PharmaCann’s CEO stated: "When I hear about the prices of medical cannabis extracts in Germany and other European countries, I can’t believe how expensive they are.
