The California Senate voted 33-0 Thursday to let pet owners aged 18 and older purchase medical marijuana for their pets, provided they have a recommendation from a veterinarian who has completed a specific training course.
The bill would give veterinarians the same protections as doctors who recommend marijuana for human patients.
Last year, former Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law allowing veterinarians to discuss medical marijuana with pet owners.
The bill now goes to the state Assembly.
