Ask a Vet: Emergency visits rise in states with legalized pot
Placeholder Image
Marijuana has been legalized in several states. Some states have allowed for its use as a medicine to help with chronic pain, ocular disease, multiple sclerosis and other diseases. (This is probably not due to my previous article encouraging such research, but still I appreciate the progress.) Two states have even legalized recreational use. Those two states are raking in tax dollars as a result, but emergency visits to the veterinarian related to exposure also have bloomed.
