Re: Hemp

Hi Zoe,

Hemp is a cannabis plant, related to marijuana and the seeds are just recently legalized in Canada for animal consumption. However, I cannot intelligently address the safety of their use. Perhaps you have some information you can send me and I'll be happy to look it over.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
