A stressed out elephant in Poland has been given the compound to help her deal with the death of a loved one.
Four elephants resided at the Warsaw Zoo until March when the largest female and elder of the herd, Erna, passed away. This caused a period of grief in Fredzie, not unlike what you might experience following the death of someone you love.
Cortisol levels spike when animals experience stress, so scientists took samples of Fredzia’s blood, saliva, and feces to attain baseline measurements in cortisol. They will then administer CBD to Fredzia and monitor whether those cortisol subsequently drop in response to the cannaiboids. The oil given to Fredzia won’t contain any THC, the psychoactive element in cannabis.

The city council has installed a (one! singular! for all the women who go out after hours in one of Europe’s most densely populated capital cities!) night-time urinal for women. It's part of a unit that comes with two standard issue retractable urinals for men; the women's side of the installation includes a lockable door.
