Mendoza Advances Veterinary Medical Cannabis Program with Advisory Committee

Argentina's Mendoza Province has established a new advisory committee to strengthen its veterinary medical cannabis program, building on provincial regulations approved in June. The framework includes registries, cultivation permits, and traceability controls to ensure product safety and quality for animal patients. While the program enables regulated medical cannabis use for veterinary purposes, it does not authorize industrial commercial distribution of veterinary cannabis products. This development reflects growing recognition of cannabinoid therapeutics in veterinary medicine, where compounds like CBD and THC show potential applications for pain management, anxiety, and inflammatory conditions in animals. The structured regulatory approach positions Mendoza as a leader in responsible veterinary cannabis oversight.

North Carolina Should Regulate Hemp THC Beverages Rather Than Ban Them, Industry Experts Argue

Industry stakeholders in North Carolina are urging lawmakers to establish comprehensive regulatory frameworks for hemp-derived THC beverages instead of implementing a near-total ban. Advocates argue that prohibition would eliminate legitimate businesses while creating opportunities for unregulated operators to flourish in an uncontrolled market. The state has an opportunity to develop consumer protection standards, product safety requirements, and quality control measures that would benefit both patients and responsible vendors. Proper regulation could ensure accurate labeling, dosage transparency, and manufacturing standards while allowing continued access to hemp beverages for consumers seeking alternative wellness products.
