When Anuedy Gonzalez was pulled over outside of Amarillo, Texas, on Dec. 6, he was prepared. He handed the highway trooper a lab report showing that the 3,350 pounds of hemp he was transporting from California to New York was perfectly legal under both Texas state law and federal law. But that didnt keep him from spending Christmas in jail and facing federal drug trafficking charges that carried a potential life sentence.

The lab analysis detailed how the hemp marijuanas non-intoxicating but lookalike plant cousin contained less than 0.3 percent THC (the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana), meaning its a legal substance. But the report wasnt enough to keep the law enforcement officer from arresting him.

Its not just government officials who are confused and doling out consequences for using a substance they (wrongly) think is verboten.

Though the charges were eventually dismissed, Gonzalezs experience shows how confusing and risky it is to work in the industries using marijuana-adjacent products such as hemp and CBD as laws and regulations rapidly evolve or dont exist at all. The Food and Drug Administration needs to get to work and law enforcement officers need to get trained so those who use these products arent wrongly punished.

And an even larger group of people is currently in jeopardy than those working in the field: people seeking alternative approaches to chronic health conditions by using hemp, CBD and other low-concentration THC products. (Unlike THC, which produces a high, CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating chemical compound called a cannabinoid that offers a host of potential health benefits.)

Its not just government officials who are confused and doling out consequences for using a substance they (wrongly) think is verboten. Take the experience of a school bus driver in Utah who used CBD oil to manage her stress and was fired after a drug screen came back positive for THC. She insists that she only used the non-intoxicating CBD product but tested as though she were using cannabis, which is illegal in Utah and definitely not permitted for school bus drivers. Because theres little regulatory oversight of these items, its possible that her CBD product still contained enough THC to trigger a positive result.

Get the think newsletter.

In another case, a California couple trying to treat their daughters epilepsy with CBD oil was charged with severe medical neglect by the states Child Protective Services and temporarily lost custody of her. Thankfully, after the courts reviewed research showing the substance they were using can treat severe forms of the disorder (its the first FDA-approved medication with CBD), the case was dismissed.

All this confusion stems largely from these products close association with marijuana and the rapidly changing legal landscape surrounding its use. The umbrella species cannabis has a variety of strains, some plants have little THC (most commonly hemp) and others are high in THC (marijuana, or cannabis sativa).

Cannabis sativa is illegal under federal law, though increasingly not under state statutes; byproducts of hemp (such as CBD) are legal to grow, sell and possess nationwide under changes unveiled in the 2018 Farm Bill. That measure removed hemp plants that contain less than 0.3 percent THC from the Controlled Substances Act, and treats hemp like any other agricultural commodity. Some states like South Dakota, however, have opted out of the federal law and prohibit hemp and CBD.

Compounding these complicated distinctions are the scientific and regulatory gaps facing the industry. The chronically underresourced and increasingly toothless FDA has few enforcement mechanisms in place to carry out its mandate: ensuring the products we put into our bodies are correctly labeled and safe for consumption.

In the case of CBD, whether youre purchasing gas station curiosities or an expensive facial moisturizer, you dont really know whats in it. The product can contain more THC than whats federally allowed, and after frequent dosing can potentially trigger a positive drug screen.

The FDAs efforts to enforce its CBD rules mostly aimed at mislabeling and weeding out bogus health claims have been essentially limited to sternly worded letters addressed to businesses running afoul of marketing guidelines. A 2017 study shows thats a lot of companies, leaving the FDA with a full plate. The researchers found that nearly 70 percent of all CBD products sold online are mislabeled, causing potential serious harm to its consumers.

But companies engaging in sloppy manufacturing or false advertising arent the only ones responsible. Theres also a lack of reliable research for businesses and consumers to use. In the case of the bus drivers positive drug screen, for instance, theres conflicting scientific findings as to whether, in certain acidic conditions, CBD can break down and convert to THC in the body. (The World Health Organization, for its part, has concluded that theres no evidence of public health problems stemming from the use of pure CBD.)

Daniel Mehler, a Colorado attorney who defended Gonzalez in Texas and is a student of cannabis pharmacology, contends that research has been stymied because of historic prohibitions on cannabis. As a result, knowledge lags far behind the industrys popularity and health claims made by companies, which research estimates could rake in $20 billion by 2024.

People are jumping into this industry feet first and consuming unknown quantities of CBD, Mehler said. A lot of these products are mislabeled, and theres no understanding of what the potential long-term health consequences are.

While scientists pursue answers, the job of law enforcement has become complicated. From a policing perspective, telling the difference between smokable hemp (legal) and smokable cannabis (illegal in states that include Texas) isnt so simple for the naked eye, likely requiring lab tests to determine the potency.

Companies engaging in sloppy manufacturing or false advertising arent the only ones responsible. Theres also a lack of reliable research for businesses and consumers to use.

Even those most versed in the technicalities can struggle with key distinctions. Mehler told NBC News that the Drug Enforcement Administration agent who took on the case against his client incorrectly testified in courtthat the law defined hemp as containing 0.03 percent THC when its actually 0.3 percent. Mehler said even the 0.3 percent threshold is an infinitesimal amount of THC.

Confusing one decimal point nearly upended Mr. Gonzalezs entire life. And it destroyed his cargo. Mehler said the hemp wasnt properly stored by the authorities and had to be dumped.

Unless these issues are addressed, people will keep losing their jobs for no reason, delivery drivers will continue being jailed and patients seeking alternative treatments will remain in the dark about what theyre actually taking.

Part 1 of 2

A question I get all the time is, TD, whats the best way to take CBD? The truth of the matter is that there is no one way to take it. Since cannabidiol extract covers such a wide variety of uses, the question you need to ask yourself is, What am I trying to accomplish by using CBD? From dealing with insomnia to assisting with workout recovery - how you consume CBD ultimately depends on what your goals are.

Before diving into the various methods of delivery, its essential to consider your specific goals to develop a solid CBD game plan that maximizes efficacy and impact. Foremost, if you are already taking prescription drugs, its best to consult with a medical professional before adding any supplements to your diet. Once the doctor gives a trusted stamp of approval and youre clear on your CBD goals, its time to start journaling!

Thats right I keep a CBD journal. Keeping a record of CBD usage is the best way to stay on track and discover what individual solutions work best for your specific needs. For me, journaling helps to monitor not only my body (e.g., sore knee, joint pain) but also CBD dosage and how that product/dose ultimately affects me.

The last and most important step is sourcing high-quality CBD. Best practice? Always read the label. Look for domestically sourced hemp in states such as Oregon, Colorado, Washington and California that all have high production standards with decades of experience in hemp cultivation. And of course, make sure its grown organically and has a Certificate of Analysis (COA).

The Certificate of Analysis tells you the quality of the CBD source, listing key information such as potency, microbial analysis, solvents and any testing done for heavy metals and pesticides. For additional tips on this subject, check out my post Buyer Beware: Not All CBD is Created Equal (Read up, it isnt!).

Good health starts from inside the body, so what you put in it matters. The various methods listed below is a good starter guide to a personalized CBD wellness plan that can begin as early as today.

Tinctures/Oil Drops

A dose of CBD (Cannabidiol) oil measured out of blue bottle with dropper on wooden background

My first CBD experience was a tincture. It was an eye-opening moment that changed my life. I immediately felt the potential CBD could have for so many people, not just football pros like yours truly. Taken sublingually (apply a few drops under the tongue) the oil is absorbed fast by the mucous membrane under the tongue. Important note: be sure to hold it under your tongue for at least a minute to aid in proper absorption into your blood stream. This one is good for insomniacs out there, as tinctures can be felt for up to 8 hours and work well as a nighttime therapy.

The downside here, at least for me, is that the oil gets a little messy. If you travel a lot, CBD oil is not a great on-the-go product (over time, the bottle can get everything it touches greasy). Nonetheless, tinctures are highly effective and are a staple in my medicine cabinet.

Capsules

CBD Gel Capsules

If you are used to taking OTC drugs or nutritional supplements, then capsules might be right for you. I like the soft gel capsules easy to swallow and tend to work faster because they are in oil form. Be patient, capsules work much like edibles - it can take 1-3 hours for capsules to take effect.

This is because absorption happens first in the digestive tract before entering the bloodstream where it makes its way to the liver. The enzymes in the liver break down the active ingredients and get released back into the bloodstream where they will travel to the brain. Capsules can be tremendously beneficial for chronic pain because relief is extended up to 8 hours and provides for an all-around body effect.

Topicals

CBD lotion getting ready to be applied

Lotions, creams, balms, salves and other topicals work best on the localized pain level. They work remarkably fast in minutes. The application is simple just rub the topical in, keep the area uncovered and allow it to absorb. Topicals work on Endocannabinoid System (ECS) receptors in the skin and provide relief at the site of application for about two to four hours.

Since only a little CBD enters the bloodstream this method is least effective for whole-body relief. Consider topicals for sore knees, arthritis, joint/lower back pain and plantar fasciitis. Just be mindful of CBD dosage in topicals. In most cases a little dab will do the trick. Personally, I like to put muscle balm on my knees after a tough workout. You gotta get in front of that pain!

Now that we have covered CBD best use practices and the more common forms of delivery, we are going to take a short pause. I will be back for round 2 next week where we will check out some of the lesser-known forms of CBD-infused therapies and ways to work them into your regimen. Until then, I give you all the mile-high salute and God bless!

Soaps, Tinctures, Topicals: Oh My! Choosing The CBD Delivery Method That Works Best For You - Forbes

A mother from St Neots is continuing to fight for a change in the law to help her severely epileptic daughter, who for the first time in 15 years was able to enjoy a "normal Christmas" thanks to a controversial drug.

Lucy Conrad, 15, from Little Paxton, previously had up to one hundred seizures a day, some of which could last for up to five hours, but since taking canabid oil (CBD), she hardly has any seizures.

For the first time since Lucy was born, her mum Debbie, has said that Lucy and the family were able to enjoy a "normal" Christmas, which was not disrupted by seizures.

Lucy, who currently attends Samuel Pepys special school in St Neots, has tried a number of different treatments over the years to help reduce the number of seizures that she suffers, without much success.

However, she started taking legal CBD oil in March 2017 and her mother says that the treatment helps to control her seizures and has changed her life.

Cannabinoid, which is also known as CBD, is legal in the UK as long as its tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THC) content is less than 0.2 per cent, but it cannot be prescribed by doctors due to the fact that is currently unlicensed.

For that reason, Lucy currently has to be taken out of school because local authority policy states that she is not allowed to receive the oil treatment on site as it is unlicensed.

For that reason, Lucy currently has to be taken out of school because council rules mean she isn't allowed to receive the oil treatment on site.

Debbie and Lucy's dad Chris currently have to administer the drops every two hours, and are calling for the drug to be given medical licence so that Lucy can be given them at school.

Debbie said: "I have spent the last year having to take Lucy out of school every two hours, so I can give her the medicine that she needs. We have tried so many drugs in the past and none have worked as well as this. But I am worried as it's not fair to Lucy having to come out of school every two hours, and it really doesn't allow me to carry on with my life."

Debbie has also said that she has considered taking Lucy out of school full time due to the disruption that administrating the drug has had on her family's life.

"I have actually had a hard think about whether she would be better at home, but anyone who knows Lucy will know that she is so sociable so it just wouldn't be fair.

"The whole situation isn't fair at all. Lucy loves the school so much and it isn't up to them as their hands are also tied too," Debbie said.

CBD is not classed as a medical grade, meaning it hasn't had the stringent testing that the pharmaceutical CBD has to go through to satisfy medical authorities. As such, it is classed as a food supplement. However, it still is not allowed to be prescribed by a doctor meaning that schools aren't able to administer it.

However since taking the drug, Lucy has been able to start to have a normal life again, which has meant her taking up hobbies such as horse riding and dancing.

"We feel like she has got a life now, and is doing what normal teenagers would do. It's still so frustrating that she can't have the drug at school, and it's getting to the point where we don't know where to turn. I feel like we are being passed from pillar to post,"

Last year, Lucy went 80 days seizure free before suffering a few mini-seizures. Debbie has said that her seizures have become progressively shorter and less frequent, giving Lucy a better quality of life.

"We are desperate for help. We have exhausted every option. It's not the schools fault, but the regulation around it. But I would like authorities to look at our case again, because it is obvious that it is not working.

"All we are asking for is for her to be able to live life. It isn't fair that we have to sit outside in the car with her during school. She even eats her lunch in the car, and Lucy is so friendly, it isn't nice for her."

A spokesman for Cambridgeshire County Council said: "Under current Government guidelines, schools are not able to administer any unlicensed medicines or substances to pupils.

"We are aware that there have been a number of clinical trials which demonstrate that CBD oil can have a therapeutic effect for children with epilepsy.

"The school, the local authority education team and partners from health and social care continue to work closely with the family to explore options and provide support within the current legislation and guidelines."

USA CBD Expo Scheduled To Hold In Las Vegas This February - Bitneni

BURLINGTON, Vt., Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --To demonstrate its commitment to increasing accessibility to CBD, Sunsoil, one of the largest CBD oil brands in the United States1, will be offering 50% off its entire product line at Sunsoil.com and in a majority of retail locations during the whole month of February. The Vermont-based brand owns the process from seed to shelf which allows for significant cost savings that they share directly with their customers.

"We're excited for our 2020 initiatives to lower the price of CBD and increase accessibility," said Alejandro Bergad, co-founder and CEO of Sunsoil.

The campaign will be live on the company's website, sunsoil.com and at the majority of the brand's retail partners, including Vitamin Shoppe, Lucky's Markets, Earth Fare and Fresh Thyme.

"Sunsoil is encouraging consumers to vote with their dollars in February. We are not looking at this event as a standard discount program, but more of a movement.

Vermont CBD Company, Sunsoil, Challenges Industry by Offering CBD Oil at the Lowest Cost Nationwide for the whole month of February - EnerCom Inc.

Have you heard of CBD? Its a compound taken from the hemp plant thats supposed to help treat symptoms associated with numerous health concerns. But isnt it illegal?

Not at all. You can find CBD oil for sale in online shops, and its legal to sell there as long as the THC content (the psychoactive ingredient that creates a high) is nonexistent or less than 0.3 percent of the product. This guarantees that the product wont make you high and therefore bypasses cannabis laws.

Now that you know you can find CBD anywhere, make sure you understand why its so important for you to include it to your daily regimen. Here are 10 dynamite reasons to make it a regular part of your routine.

CBD works in the human body because the body is already filled with cannabinoids and endocannabinoids that are part of the endocannabinoid system. Its an essential system that sends and receives signals related to hormonal and immune responses.

Taking CBD daily allows the endocannabinoid system to thrive. It becomes used to the increased number of cannabinoids in the body, and that becomes the new normal. Failing to take CBD daily disrupts this state of homeostasis, and many hormonal and immune system response problems return.

If youve been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, you find that youre an anxious person, or youre simply experiencing situational anxiety, your morning CBD can set your day off right. It instantly calms the nerves and fears that might otherwise debilitate you, and allows you to accomplish what you couldnt before. Best of all, its non habit-forming, and you dont lose your mental clarity.

CBD users are so impressed with the anti-anxiety effects of CBD that more than half of users who suffer from anxiety have replaced their prescription medications with CBD. Thats a record worth noting!

Many CBD users claim that when they use CBD, it helps them focus. Whether you need help focusing for a study session at school or for a presentation at work, a little morning CBD can go a long way for renewing your concentration and boosting your natural abilities.

Put CBD-infused cleansers, creams, and lotions in your daily skincare routine, and youll see marked improvements in skin conditions like acne. Its believed that CBD targets the inflammation, redness, and pain associated with acne, especially cystic acne. Some claim that it also reduces sebum production in your pores, preventing outbreaks.

It can also be used for anti-aging. In high doses, the CBD can penetrate deeply into the top few layers of skin, delivering deep moisture and increasing your overall health and wellness. Your skin will look brighter and healthier, defying age spots and signs of wrinkles.

Countless nutritional experts warn about the importance of eating breakfast. Despite these warnings, more than half of Americans skip breakfast at least weekly, missing out on the boost of nutrition and energy in the mornings.

If youre not eating breakfast because youre not hungry, CBD taken in the morning can encourage a healthy appetite. Youre more likely to reach for a delicious, healthy, energy-filled, and protein-rich breakfast if you use CBD.

As the body ages, its more prone to inflammation as you sleep. Fluid rushes to the parts of your body that were overused or out of shape, and it causes inflammation. This is the reason that you feel stiff in the morning when you get out of bed.

CBD has shown promising results in studies for reducing inflammation and restoring mobility when inflammation occurs. Its popular among arthritis patients who struggle with persistent joint inflammation that can make it difficult or even impossible to move at some point. A morning dose of CBD could mean the difference between hobbling out of bed and walking with a spring in your step.
