A Nevada lawmaker proposed a bill in the state legislature on Tuesday that would grant ailing pets access to medical marijuana.

The measure, put forward by Democrat Tick Segerblom, would let owners obtain the drug for their animals if a veterinarian confirmed it " may mitigate the symptoms or effects" of a chronic or debilitating medical condition.

The proposed bill also includes provisions related to medical marijuana use among humans, including new regulations for dispensaries and dropping penalties for motorists found driving with the drug in their system.

The proposal comes as a growing number of U.S. states have relaxed marijuana laws. Nevada is one of 23 states where medical marijuana is legal, and voters have approved the drug for recreational use in four states and Washington, D.C.

Public opinion has also shifted dramatically toward legalizing marijuana in recent years. Some 46 percent of Americans support full legalization of marijuana, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling.

Seriously, though, I have seen MJ help an animal in need. Whereas I would never get an animal high forcefully, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with blowing it in there direction and they can choose to move away or not. Did this for an aging dog with cancer, and he seemed to really appreciate it. Looked so relaxed and contented afterwards. Hope it helped him ease the pain a bit before he passed. I suppose edibles would be the preferred method if this moves forward.
