Side effects:

“The two types of hemp affected the cattle differently. The cows that ate the low-cannabinoid hemp behaved normally and had no measurable changes in behavior. The high-cannabinoid group, on the other hand, ate less and produced less milk. Their heart rates and breathing slowed, they moved their tongues around a lot and they produced more snot and saliva. Some had wobbly gaits or stood with abnormal postures. They also had a “somnolent,” or sleepy and drowsy, appearance, the researchers note. The cows went back to normal within two days, but the scientists described the brief hemp-induced changes as “adverse effects on animal health” in a statement.”
