  • Hemp, Inc. Reports: Marijuana-Cannabidiol (CBD) Bill Signals New Era in Federal Cannabis Policy

    Hemp, Inc. Reports: Marijuana-Cannabidiol (CBD) Bill Signals New Era in Federal Cannabis Policy

    Las Vegas, NV, Nov. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP): It’s a new dawn, a new day as the first bill solely related to marijuana is sent to POTUS after being approved by the U.S. House and Senate – an unfathomable feat a decade ago. Passed by unanimous consent, by the Senate, the marijuana-related bill signals times are changing and so are perceptions about marijuana.

    Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana.  It’s time that we right these wrongs. – President Joe Biden
    (Source: White House Briefing Room)

    After years of championing legislation to legalize marijuana for medical purposes, the H.R. 8454 – Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) Research Expansion Act marks a “historic breakthrough in addressing the federal government’s failed and misguided prohibition of cannabis.”

    In a statement released by U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer (Founder and Co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus and Sponsor of the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD)  Research Act), “The public is tired of waiting for the federal government to catch up. Nearly half of our nation’s population now live in states where adult-use of cannabis is legal. For far too long, Congress has stood in the way of science and progress, creating barriers for researchers attempting to study cannabis and its benefits. At a time when more than 155 million Americans reside where adult-use of cannabis is legal at the state or local level and there are four million registered medical marijuana users with many more likely to self-medicate, it is essential that we are able to fully study the impacts of cannabis use.” (Source)

    Per Congress.gov, the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) Research Expansion Act will:

    Establish a new, separate registration process to facilitate research on marijuana.

    Specifically, the bill directs the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to follow specified procedures to register (1) practitioners to conduct marijuana research, and (2) manufacturers to supply marijuana for the research.

    The bill allows certain registered entities (including institutions of higher education, practitioners, and manufacturers) to manufacture, distribute, dispense, or possess marijuana or cannabidiol (CBD) for the purposes of medical research. Additionally, the bill directs the DEA to register manufacturers and distributors of CBD or marijuana for the purpose of commercial production of an approved drug that contains marijuana or its derivative.

    Finally, the bill includes various other provisions, including provisions that:
    ·       require the DEA to assess whether there is an adequate and uninterrupted supply of marijuana for research purposes;
    ·       prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from reinstating the interdisciplinary review process for marijuana research;
    ·       allow physicians to discuss the potential harms and benefits of marijuana and its derivatives (including CBD) with patients; and
    ·       require HHS, in coordination with the National Institutes of Health and relevant federal agencies, to report on the therapeutic potential of marijuana for various conditions such as epilepsy, as well as the impact on adolescent brains and on the ability to operate a motor vehicle. (Source: Congress.gov)

    In a nutshell, the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) Research Expansion Act will allow a more streamlined approach to the application process for marijuana studies and will remove the barriers that slowed down the process. Research on CBD and other potentially beneficial marijuana-derived substances will be based on sound science without any regulatory hindrance. Yes, there is evidence suggesting marijuana is beneficial in treating glaucoma and epilepsy.  But as Congressmen Andy Harris said, “Only scientific research will prove the veracity of the many claims regarding efficacy for other diseases. Despite lacking much scientific research, over three dozen states have already legalized medical marijuana, and the American public deserves to know the effect modern marijuana has on the human body.” 

    When the bill officially reaches President Joe Biden’s desk, he will have 10 days (excluding Sundays) to sign or veto it.  A White House spokesperson confirmed President Biden intends on signing the legislation. Once it’s signed and enacted, the cannabis industry could see a flurry of marijuana-related bills.  MJ Biz Daily reported there are “roughly 50 marijuana-related bills circulating in Congress” with the SAFE Banking Act (a proposed law that will allow state-legal dispensaries to access banking services) expected to have the best chance of passage.  Congressman Blumenauer believes the upcoming enactment of the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) Research Expansion Act could provide the momentum needed to push it through Congress.

    Why is the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) Research Expansion Act significant? After numerous failed attempts from past bills, what propelled this one to the President’s desk for signature? It’s the first legislation to unite opponents and proponents of cannabis legalization. Both sides want extensive research done, albeit for different reasons nonetheless. (Source)

    According to an article in Cardinal News, opponents want evidence that marijuana is harmful and proponents want evidence that it’s useful for medical applications. A myriad of questions needs answers. Do we need a surgeon general’s warning? How can marijuana-derived medications treat various health conditions? These are just a couple of questions researchers have not been able to answer because marijuana is a Schedule 1 controlled substance with bureaucratic hurdles and security measures deterring “would-be researchers” from finding the answers.

    This won’t be the case much longer. A new dawn, a new day is here for federal cannabis reform. And as Bruce Perlowin (Hemp, Inc.’s Chief Visionary Consultant) said back in 2015, “you can’t hold back the tide”. Once the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol (CBD) Research Expansion Act is signed into law by Biden, the door will be open for new, innovative treatments derived from cannabis that will, hopefully, give patients more treatment options, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

  • Increasing the dose of CBD does not change the effects of cannabis, study finds

    Increasing the dose of CBD does not change the effects of cannabis, study finds

    New analysis from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s University London has observed no evidence that cannabidiol (CBD) decreases the negative outcomes of hashish.

    The analysis, printed in Neuropsychopharmacology, troubles the normally held perception that using hashish that is made up of higher degrees of CBD guards the user from psychotic ordeals and memory difficulties, and implies that this really should be thought of by policy makers at present discovering the matter of medicinal and recreational use.

    46 healthier volunteers done a randomized and double-blind trial. About the course of four experiments, every participant inhaled hashish vapor that contains 10mg of THC and a differing amount of CBD (0mg, 10mg, 20mg, or 30mg). They then accomplished a collection of responsibilities, questionnaires and interviews built to evaluate the influence on their cognitive skills, severity of psychotic symptoms, and how pleasurable the drug was.

    The similar research crew had beforehand identified that pre-emptively having a superior dose of CBD in a capsule a handful of hrs before applying hashish may cut down the adverse effects of THC.

    In this analyze, they explored the outcome of altering the CBD:THC ratio in cannabis. Even so, they observed increasing the dose of CBD did not noticeably improve the consequences of THC on cognitive performance, psychotic signs and symptoms or how pleasurable the drug knowledge was.

    Dr Amir Englund, a study fellow at King’s IoPPN and the study’s guide author said, “None of the CBD stages analyzed shielded our volunteers from the acute detrimental results of hashish, these kinds of as stress and anxiety, psychotic indicators, and worse cognitive efficiency. It also did not alter the high-quality of the intoxication in any way. The only effect of CBD we saw was that as the focus of CBD amplified, the much more the participants coughed. We requested volunteers to listen to a beloved music on each visit and taste a piece of chocolate. Even though cannabis improved the pleasurability of tunes and chocolate in comparison to when volunteers had been sober, CBD had no affect.”

    “THC and CBD are each generated from the similar compound in the hashish plant, so a selection which generates bigger of amounts of CBD will in a natural way be decreased in THC. It might nonetheless be safer for end users to opt for cannabis with larger CBD:THC ratios, but that is because the same sum of cannabis will have much less THC than a decreased CBD:THC variety. General, our tips to individuals seeking to stay clear of the adverse results of THC is to use less of it.”

    &#13

    These conclusions make an vital contribution to the ongoing debate all over the challenges of hashish use. Although CBD on its very own is regarded to have a amount of optimistic consequences in individuals, our facts advise that, at the doses that are typically present in cannabis, it does not protect in opposition to the unfavorable effects of THC. This challenges the usually held watch by numerous hashish customers that cannabis with a increased CBD information supplies a buffer towards the adverse consequences of hashish.”

Use prices are up, way too: NIH info from 2021 recorded historic highs in marijuana use between grownups aged 19 to 30 a long time — 43{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} of people in this group claimed use in the previous calendar year.

    “This is going on,” Sicat reported. “It’s intriguing that this is not a thing that I routinely have questioned my patients in the earlier, but this seriously opens my eyes of how lots of people today are essentially employing hashish these days.”

    Cannabis becoming categorized as a schedule I drug, he discussed, “really precludes a ton of studies from taking place.” With the obtainable facts, however, Sicat claimed he recognized an interesting development, a person that he coined the “marijuana paradox for obesity”: little, short-time period scientific studies showed increases in system weight, but long-term scientific tests disclosed that serious cannabis use was really related with excess weight reduction.

    In truth, he claimed, “the bigger the dose of cannabis in excess of the many years is associated with a decreased overall body excess weight.”

    “When you look at future scientific studies where by they look at above 30,000 men and women across the place and observe them for the system of 3 a long time, you see that individuals who smoke the most hashish or use the most cannabis in fact have the most affordable entire body fat in a dose-dependent way,” he stated. “The far more recurrent that somebody is basically using cannabis, they will lessen their body mass index.”

    Also, he reported that information have demonstrated ladies making use of cannabis greatly ended up about 50{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} fewer possible to be diagnosed with variety 2 diabetes than non-cannabis customers.

    A report from the Countrywide Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medication showed considerable or conclusive proof that cannabis is successful in older people for serious suffering as very well as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and can make improvements to muscle mass spasticity syndromes in MS.

    Cannabis plants have at least 100 plant-derived phytocannabinoids, which includes tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), delta 8 THC, CBD and a lot more. CBD — the most prevalent phytocannabinoid — is, by volume, the largest component of the cannabis plant.

    “What’s wonderful about it is that it does not have any psychotropic outcomes it actually has a extremely wide variety of likely pharmacological effects through unique mechanisms,” Sicat explained.

    For example, there is an Food and drug administration-authorized CBD item for pediatric intractable epileptic seizures.

    “It turns out that CBD in higher doses has essentially been shown to really lower seizures by nearly 50{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} in this incredibly refractory inhabitants,” he claimed.

    Even with the fact that trials did not completely look into body weight decline, knowledge from these scientific tests indicated bigger bodyweight reduction from folks who took CBD in comparison with individuals who took placebo, even though he cautioned that only 20{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} of participants had been grown ups.

    Although CBD has demonstrated to be “helpful for a ton of different things … from a diabetic issues point of view, we are uncertain.”

    Sicat referenced a 2016 research printed in Diabetic issues Care that assessed the effects of CBD and THC on persons with kind 2 diabetic issues.

    “When you seem at the details, what they found is that it actually experienced profit in conditions of a number of distinctive hormones. You can find really a hormone named resistin which is built in the system excess fat, and resistin brings about resistance to insulin. And when they gave CBD at these doses, it really lowered resistin,” he claimed.

    Sicat concluded that “further research are required to better evaluate the advantages of CBD and other phytocannabinoids on metabolic capabilities.”

    “In conclusion, I would just say, personally, I have discovered that putting this presentation jointly has type of opened my eyes due to the fact I really under no circumstances believed about the impression of how lots of of my people are really taking all these different phytocannabinoids, how numerous of them may possibly be using healthcare marijuana, distinct issues like this. [It] just has not been one thing that I’ve actually questioned about a lot, but it would make me actually believe about inquiring much extra usually about that.”

    Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine Bans CBD Prescriptions for Adult Patients

    The Brazilian Federal Council of Medication (CFM in the Portuguese acronym) is after all over again stepping above the profession’s ethics code and ignoring the newest advancements in healthcare science to impose an ideological ban to limit the prescription of CBD for grownup clients. The new conclusion, regretably, will come as no surprise as the CFM experienced by now stained its status throughout the coronavirus disaster by currently being sued for collective damages by the Brazilian Public Defender’s Office for letting physicians to prescribe hydroxychloroquine for “early treatment” of COVID-19, an unfounded procedure that was publicly supported by Bolsonaro and his then-presidential mate Donald Trump.

    The cannabis conclusion was published in the Brazilian Federal Sign up on October 11, to be carried out quickly and only to be revised in three several years. It policies that the “prescription of cannabidiol (CBD) is authorised as healthcare therapy” only “for the procedure of epilepsy in childhood and adolescence refractory to regular therapies in Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex”. Its prescription for any other conditions has consequently been banned. Medical professionals are further prohibited from offering lectures and classes on the use of cannabidiol and/or solutions derived from Hashish exterior of a scientific atmosphere.

    CFM’s decision arrives in the context of at the same time growing need for CBD products and solutions, and ideal-wing propaganda versus the legitimate professional medical rewards of cannabis. In between 2017 and 2021, the quantity of personal requests to import health-related hashish jumped from 2,101 to 32,416, a 1,442{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} raise. The growth in the demand for healthcare hashish has even triggered some of Bolsonaro’s cupboard ministers to issue publications denying that hashish is variety of medication. 

     

    CBD oil is not cost-effective to the vast majority of Brazilian patients. The value of a 20mg/ml bottle in a popular chemist fees one-fourth of the minimal wage. A 200/mg bottle costs additional than two minimal wages. A lot of clients and their households count on medical hashish associations to get their medicine for a much more reasonably priced selling price. Supply: Drogaria Sao Paulo  

     

    While the professional medical hashish invoice is stalled in the Brazilian Congress with no currently being forwarded to the Senate for ultimate approval, and with Brazilian significant Pharma controlling what handful of goods are authorized on the restricted Brazilian professional medical cannabis marketplace, the CFM is offering a message to culture: thoughts and ideology are what guideline wellness policy, and science can be discredited with the stroke of a pen.

    If the intention of the greatest authority dependable for supervising and regulating health-related exercise in Brazil is to divert patients to the illegal market place, then their mission will surely be prosperous. We know what occurs when substances become prohibited and inaccessible via authorized strategies: persons vacation resort to the illegal market. There are some individuals who are committed to supplying people with cannabis oil in Brazil, irrespective of its authorized standing, participating in civil disobedience to assure that persons can stil access their drugs. The issue, even though, is that these perfectly-intentioned citizens expose themselves to criminal punishment, and are also only in a position to offer entire-spectrum oil, which may well not satisfy the requirements of numerous patients. What we are witnessing below is, again, the criminalisation of lifetime-restoring and everyday living-preserving drugs, a drugs that has the ability to restore the life not only of individuals who use it but also of household customers who care for them. 

    The CBD ban is even further worrying news for the long term of Brazilian drug coverage, in particular supplied the the latest pattern of common cannabis campaigners picking out to abandon their political stances on drug rules to cater to conservative constituents. With the election of the most significantly-ideal Congress considering the fact that the re-democratisation of Brazil at the stop of its navy dictatorship in 1985, attempts for building and employing a more humane drug coverage will be an uphill fight, even if Lula wins in opposition to Bolsonaro in the 2nd round which will get put on the 30th of Oct. Meanwhile, civil society is organising alone, demanding prolonged overdue improvements, with constituents correctly voting in at minimum a few professional-cannabis lawmakers into office environment at the state and federal stage. 

    On Monday the 17th of October, a short while ago re-elected congressman Paulo Teixeira (of Lula’s Personnel Celebration), who chaired the exclusive commission that voted on the professional medical cannabis monthly bill, submitted a legislative decree to revoke CFM’s new choice. It is now very important that the even now-tiny hashish caucus stress Bolsonaro’s ally and President of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira, to unblock the health care hashish bill frozen in Congress. It is time for Brazilian institutions to work for the persons all over again, rather of serving the ideological agenda of the present president and his goons.
