Scottsdale wildlife rescue uses cannabis oil to treat one-eyed mountain lion

Cannabidiol or CBD oil is used for more than just humans. A Valley wildlife rescue is using it on animals too.

Cascabel, a 19-year-old mountain lion at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale, is an animal being treated with CBD oil.


The mountain lion only has one eye due to her other eye getting stuck by a thorn when she was a kitten.

Just a couple of years ago, zookeepers noticed a limp in her leg.

Even with treatment, the limp got worse.

When all else failed, the zookeepers tried CBD oil.

"We landed on the CBD oil, and within 48 hours of starting that we could all, keepers and myself, see a significant difference in the way she was ambulating," said James O'Brien, a vet technician at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.

Cascabel started the CBD oil treatment a couple of months ago.

While she still has a limp that may never go away, the zookeepers say the big difference is in her behavior.

"All we can do is alleviate the discomfort as much as possible," said O'Brien. "And we've seemed to hit on a pretty good combination with a little pain medication mixed with some CBD oil."

Why are cryptocurrency entrepreneurs flocking to the CBD industry?

With the ever-changing cannabis space, entrepreneurs are exploring innovative ways to enter the CBD industry – But could cryptocurrency be the next innovation for cannabis?
The CBD industry has hit the mainstream media and is sweeping the nation’s shelves, as well as the Internet. There are now a vast array of companies both online and offline who are releasing products from CBD-infused gummies to healing balms and creams. CBD oil is legal in almost every state in the US and since the UK legalised it last year, the market is booming bigger than ever.

The medical marijuana, hemp oil, and CBD industry have attracted household names like Snoop Dogg and Morgan Freeman, who swear by its powerful therapeutic abilities and Crypto Entrepreneurs are now flocking to CBD too. As the industry grows from strength to strength, it is becoming increasingly notable that there are so many similarities between these two vastly different industries. And this is why it makes perfect sense for blockchain and CBD to take on the future side by side.

The CBD industry and cryptocurrency
Silicon Valley is without a doubt the centre of the blockchain and cryptocurrency universe and it has always had a somewhat complicated relationship with the health and wellness industry. Start-ups are absolutely booming, particularly those focusing on new and improved ways that their technology could help to improve health care systems around the world, yet the employees suffer at the hands of the pressure, stress, and burnout of the Silicon Valley environment.

This is probably one of the primary reasons that cryptocurrency entrepreneurs are becoming hugely interested in CBD and a simple Internet search will reveal a huge quantity of forums focusing specifically on the links between crypto entrepreneurs and CBD. There is, of course, the added catalyst of the fact that almost every single crypto worker has experienced the consequences of stress and anxiety and how important it is to treat it before it gets out of hand.

There are other important factors that come into play too. The number of Big Pharma scandals that have graced the headlines over recent years has caused even the most closed-minded individuals to think seriously about if they want to continue taking pharmaceutical medication. Feelings of mistrust and doubt towards Big Pharma companies are pushing natural medicines like CBD into the spotlight and the “thinking outside the box” mentality used by successful crypto start-ups can be easily applied to succeeding in the CBD industry.

The similarities don’t end there
Just like CBD and medical cannabis, Bitcoin was also once a frowned upon currency mainly used by drug dealers and dark web users. Last year saw a huge amount of blue-collar financial investors as well as successful individuals making huge profits from trading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and this year this same boom is taking place within the world of CBD.

There is one major difference, however. The majority of people still believe that cryptocurrency will ultimately fail in the long run and that Bitcoin has already seen its glory days. Cryptocurrency is still not commonly accepted as a mainstream form of payment and you can’t pay your bill at your local grocery store using crypto.

In contrast, CBD is absolutely everywhere and while there is still some outstanding research required to make its classification as a medicine possible, good quality CBD products are selling out quickly, creating a demand that is set to continue outweighing supply.

This is good news for the CBD industry and even better news for the crypto entrepreneurs who know how to come up with the technology that is required to keep up with the ever-growing CBD boom taking place worldwide.

Cannabis-focused cryptocurrency
There are already a couple of cryptocurrencies in existence, most notably HempCoin that gives us good reason to believe that the marriage between cannabis and CBD-based products and cryptocurrency is going to go from strength to strength. With more crossovers happening between CBD companies and crypto entrepreneurs, it seems like the two are almost destined to be together.

Many people believe that it is just a matter of time before Big Pharma companies buy out all the smaller independent CBD businesses and the most viable people to stop that from happening would be those who have survived the cryptocurrency storm by learning to apply new and innovative ways of problem-solving, as well as technology.


Final thoughts

The next few years are going to be make or break for both the crypto and CBD industry; and so far, everything is looking incredibly positive. With more money invested in health and wellness companies, better quality products and better technology for manufacturers will continue to emerge and drive the market from strength to strength.

What’s the Difference? CBD Isolate vs. Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

There are two main types of cannabidiol (CBD) extract utilized by vendors – purified, crystalline isolate, often labeled as ‘CBD isolate,’ and full-spectrum CBD oil. But what’s the difference between the two and how can you know which is right for you?

Both CBD isolate and full-spectrum CBD oil will provide you with all the potential benefits that come with taking CBD but the one you choose will depend on a range of factors, including what you are using it for and what you are hoping to achieve.

There is a lot of misinformation out there, so it’s important to understand what you are taking. Here’s a closer look at the pros and cons of both CBD isolate and full-spectrum CBD oil so you can make the best, most informed decision.

What Is CBD Isolate?
CBD isolate almost always originates from agricultural hemp and is most often extracted through supercritical CO2 extraction technology. CBD isolate is nearly 100% cannabidiol—nothing else.

One of the most important things to consider before purchasing a CBD isolate is the transparency of its brand. Always look for Certificates of Analysis before purchasing. It will help you determine the potency and purity of the product, ensuring you are not ingesting any contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, or mold.

Pros of CBD Isolate:
Versatility: CBD isolate when purchased as a stand-alone product, often comes in a powdered form. This powder makes it easy to ingest CBD in a form that works for you. You can place the powder directly on the tongue or add it to homemade edibles. Using a water-soluble CBD isolate will allow you to mix it into a glass of water or your morning cup of coffee. It is also possible to purchase CBD isolate in premade capsules and edibles, which is handy for on-the-go use.
Simplicity: With CBD isolate, there is no guesswork. You know exactly what you’re getting: cannabidiol and nothing else. Some brands will add terpenes back into the mix to provide natural hemp flavor but for the most part, isolates are made with CBD alone. For that reason, CBD isolate can make it easier to achieve the exact dosage that works for you without having to guess if there are other ingredients diluting your dose.
Confidence: With CBD isolate, there is rarely any tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) present. The vast majority of CBD oil products on the market already contain less than 0.3% THC, but if you’re concerned about THC or are highly sensitive to its effects, an isolate may be the best product for your needs
Cons of CBD Isolate:
No Entourage Effect: The entourage effect is a term first coined by the discoverer of THC and CBD, Ralph Mechoulam. The terms refer to the way whole plant compounds work together to produce greater effects in the body. The cannabis plant contains over 100 cannabinoids (THC and CBD included) each with their own impact on the human body. As CBD isolate is pure cannabidiol, the therapeutic benefits often yielded by the entourage effect are lost. Furthermore, precise and typically high doses of isolate are required to start to feel the benefits of the cannabis plant.
What Is Full-Spectrum CBD Oil?
Full-spectrum CBD oil refers to a diverse profile of cannabinoids (such as CBD, CBG, CBN, CBDa, THC, and THCa), terpenes, and other phytonutrients from the hemp plant. This type of CBD can be extracted through various methods, like ethanol extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, or other techniques.

Generally speaking, a full-spectrum CBD oil has a cannabinoid profile nearly identical to that of the hemp plant.

Pros of Full-Spectrum CBD Oil:
Entourage Effect: The diverse array of cannabinoids and terpenes in full-spectrum CBD oil work together, or synergize, to allow for a broader range of whole plant benefits.
Taste: Not all full-spectrum CBD oil comes from the hemp plant. Sometimes it originates from high-CBD cannabis, which typically has a high terpene content when compared to agricultural hemp. Terpenes are found in almost every plant, fruit, and vegetable and in addition to providing health benefits, can produce pleasant flavor profiles and aromas. Because of this, full-spectrum CBD oils often contain all the earthy and tasty flavors of natural hemp.
Avoids the Bell-Shaped Dose-Response Curve: The bell-shaped dose-response curve is a visual representation of how certain stimuli—in this case pure CBD—are least effective when taken in very small and very high doses. Because of this effect, CBD isolate requires precise dosages to achieve the maximum therapeutic benefits, whereas full-spectrum CBD extracts offer health benefits even at very low doses.
Cons of Full-Spectrum CBD Oil:
Integrity: Some unscrupulous vendors will claim that their products contain full-spectrum CBD oil but an analysis of their product does not back up this claim. Always check the Certificates of Analysis to verify anything a CBD company is claiming about their product. If CBD is the only cannabinoid appearing on the laboratory test results, it is not a full-spectrum product.
CBD Isolate vs. Full-Spectrum CBD Oil
This is a debate without a clear winner. The choice between a CBD isolate and a full-spectrum CBD oil will depend on you. A full-spectrum product can provide a wider range of potential benefits but some people may prefer the dosage control and versatility of a CBD isolate.

No two people are the same and no two people will respond to CBD oil the same way, making it difficult to say one product is definitely better than another.

Before you begin using CBD oil, it is best to discuss your options with your physician. They can help you better understand the symptoms you are experiencing, which will help you choose the CBD product that may be most effective for quelling your symptoms. You might also consider speaking with a cannabis doctor whose specialty is in using CBD and other natural remedies to treat medical conditions.

Again, it is important to have a conversation with your primary physician because while generally well tolerated, CBD oil can interact with popular medications like certain antidepressants and antibiotics.

Once you know you can use CBD without conflict, you may have to try a few delivery methods before you find what works best. Give yourself some time to experiment with CBD isolate products and full-spectrum products to determine which is best for your needs. Whether you’re going with a CBD isolate or a full-spectrum CBD oil, deciding to use CBD oil for the first time can be exciting and a little overwhelming, so if you’re looking for a place to start, make sure you read up on which brands produce the highest-quality, top-ranking CBD products.
