Does THC lead to bronchodilation in humans and in dogs?
THC administration may lead to bronchodilation in humans, but causes an increase in lung resistance in dogs.

Are the physiologic effects of THC in humans very similar to the physiologic effects of THC in animals?
In many instances, the effects of THC in humans are NOT similar to the effects of THC in animals. In fact, there are significant interspecies differences in the physiologic changes associated with THC administration. As a result, extrapolation of findings in animal studies to human care may not be appropriate.

Does THC administration alter gastric emptying?
Yes. According to a double blind randomized controlled study of human volunteers, gastric emptying of solid food was slowed due to THC administration from an average of 30 minutes to 120 minutes. This, in turn, may impact the administration of anesthesia and increase the risk of aspiration.

What is cannabis oil?
Cannabis oil is a product of the extraction of flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant and contains mostly THC with some CBD and other phytocannabinoids and terpenoids. The THC level is greater than 0.3% dry weight (often very high amounts such as 80%) and the CBD level is ~ 10-15%. The uses of cannabis oil include therapeutic purposes.
