research
Veterinary and clinical research on hemp and cannabinoids in animals, graded honestly. Every article here states the level of evidence it's built on — a randomized controlled trial is not a survey, and neither is a case report.

A New Controlled Study Looked at CBD, Metabolism, and Insulin in Ponies — What Horse Owners Should Take Away
