Medical Marijuana Available For Texas Pets

Medical marijuana for pets is now available in Texas. You can buy capsules, treats and other edibles as natural pain relievers online. They are legal because they contain such a low percentage of THC.

A Texas veterinarian says his biggest concern is pets being used as guinea pigs.

"I'm not comfortable with having somebody say, 'well, yeah let's throw it out there and hope for the best and we're going to use your pets as our experimental animals and see what works,'" said veterinarian Dr. Merten Pearson.

Veterinarians cannot prescribe cannabis products to pets, they can only recommend them.

The FDA says it is investigating the benefits of the products.
