Nanotechnology & CBD Medicine – CBD Health and Wellness

November 26, 2020 by CBD OIL

As more studies are published on cannabinoids and their potential medical properties, we are naturally going to see a demand for more effective products. This is especially important, as cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) have very low bioavailability, meaning that not all of the dose you take will end up in the bloodstream.

Nanotechnology has the potential to solve this challenge and create a more targeted effect.

Simply put, nanotechnology can take a cannabinoid like CBD and break it down into extremely tiny particles. Proponents of nano CBD products say this miniscule size makes CBD more easily absorbed into the bloodstream when consumed.

Nanotechnology refers to substances that are the size of 1-100 nanometers, i.e. very, very small. At this size, substances can possess contrasting properties to their larger counterparts. These can include:

  • Improved electrical conductance
  • Higher degree of strength
  • Varying chemical reactivity
  • Varying magnetic properties

While this technology is promising, researchers wonder whether or not it can be applied to harder-to-reach illnesses. For example, some have questioned if nano formulations can be can effective for cancer cells.

One study found that when synthetic cannabinoids were administered as nanocarriers, they were more successful in treating triple-negative breast cancer compared to a standard formulation in cellular and pre-clinical experiments.[1] In addition, this nanoformulation was able to boost anti-cancer effects in concert with a chemotherapy agent. While preliminary, this evidence is encouraging for potential medical use.

Many believe that nanotechnology can be used to shape the future of how we look at medicinal cannabinoids. However, it’s important to note that come companies advertising nano CBD are using the claim to attract consumers and may not actually be using this technique; as always, be a vigilant consumer and do your research before purchasing new products.

Beyond allowing for greater bioavailability, nanotechnology may provide more targeted effects on the body. However, with a lack of research concerning nano CBD in humans, it will be some time before we see these advances in science become available for various ailments.

Promoting Diversity in the CBD & Cannabis Industry

November 26, 2020 by CBD OIL

Cannabis legalization is an important and long overdue movement revolutionizing the world markets and society. However, without conscious efforts on the part of the movers and shakers in the industry, cannabis normalization will result in the perpetuation of many of the negative characteristics and trends that have plagued practically every other market and industry–most notably, a lack of diversity.

In practically every industry, from academia to journalism to tech, all minorities, including African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, women, and Asian Americans, are severely underrepresented and have been for decades. And now that the cannabis industry has come online (particularly the cannabidiol, CBD, industry given the fact that it is federally legal in the US), it is falling into this same pattern of monoculturalism.

Fortunately, there are players in the CBD and cannabis industry who are working to increase diversity in this burgeoning marketplace. Kevin Ford, CEO of Uplift, is one of them.

Uplift is a company that provides comprehensive information for those looking for answers regarding Maryland’s medical cannabis program. It also works fervently to help diversify the industry and remove the stigma minorities face when trying to become cannapreneurs.

This stigma is a by-product of the failed War on Drugs, which disproportionately slapped people of color with criminal records compared to White Americans. And it’s these criminal records that are preventing minorities from joining the green rush.

In 2018, Uplift received one of five minority-training grants given out by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. In a state like Maryland, these funds are needed to help boost minority involvement in the cannabis sphere. Currently, only 10% of investors in Maryland cannabis are minorities. Additionally, as of May 2020, only two of the cultivation licenses given out in the state were held by minorities.

This disturbing trend is found nationwide, which is why Ford wants to expand his group’s efforts outside of Maryland.

“It’s truly our goal to move from a statewide platform to more of a national platform so that minorities everywhere can get the support that they need to go about applying for these licenses or looking for employment,” said Ford in an interview with Benzinga.

With efforts from companies like Uplift, the nationwide CBD industry can become a more diversity and the rich industry.

Making CBD All-Around Green – CBD Health and Wellness

November 26, 2020 by CBD OIL

Cannabidiol (CBD) feels inherently green. For one, federally legal CBD is derived from hemp, which has various ecological benefits and applications. The reality is that a CBD product isn’t environmentally friendly in and of itself, as the process of production comes with an ecological price.

There are ways to reduce this cost to a minimum, especially as it relates to the big picture. Let’s track the CBD supply chain from its green agricultural roots to its branches into the consumer market.

Green Farming

Of course, all CBD originates in the fields, so eco practices should start there. Luckily, hemp already has a head start in that regard.

Hemp is famous for its low water “intake,” requiring 50% less water than cotton. And hemp’s waste stream can be channelled quite productively into different commodities. It also has a cleansing effect on the soil.

Hemp has all the makings to be an all-around green crop, as long as farmers don’t do anything to compromise that, such as using plastic mulch instead of a biodegradable equivalent.

Green Extraction

CO2 CBD extraction is currently the most eco-friendly method. It makes for pure, solventless, residue-free extraction.

Moreover, when CO2 is harnessed in a closed-loop extraction system, which recaptures solvents and recycles them, it makes for the ultimate green extraction method.

Green Distribution

Of course, the packaging and distribution side of things plays a huge part in any business and impacts eco-friendliness.

Companies should consider packages they use, if they’re recyclable and/or reusable, if they make the best use of space, and if there are any programs that can incentivize customers to send them back.

Bottom Line: Win-Win

While eco-friendliness may sometimes seem reserved only for companies that have already taken care of their financial worries and have the bandwidth to take on environmental ones, this isn’t true.

While sustainability and energy efficiency practices may require some initial capital, they largely pay for themselves in the long run because, as their titles suggest, they are sustainable and efficient by default.

But even if business and energy efficiency seems a distant and borderline abstract of a concept, think about this: 70% of Millennials are willing to pay more for products using sustainable practices, and, for 83% of them, a product’s environmental and social impact factors in the purchasing process.

CBD has all the green cards, now it’s only a matter of playing them right.

CBD is not a narcotic, says EU court as it rules French ban is illegal

November 26, 2020 by CBD OIL

The cannabis-derived compound CBD is not a narcotic drug because “it does not appear to have any psychotropic effect or any harmful effect on human health”, the EU’s highest court has ruled.

The decision by the court of justice of the European Union deals a severe blow to efforts by some EU countries to limit the sale of CBD, while simultaneously giving the CBD industry a boost. Many products are currently sold in the EU in a legal grey area.

The ruling was made in relation to the prosecution in France of KanaVape, a company that exports CBD oil made from whole hemp plants.

Under French law, only the fibre and seeds of hemp – a variety of the cannabis plant containing less than 0.2% of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC – may be put to commercial use, not the flower.

The court ruled that the French ban on the marketing of hemp-derived CBD products contradicted EU law on the free movement of goods.

“The national court must assess available scientific data in order to make sure that the real risk to public health alleged does not appear to be based on purely hypothetical considerations,” the court wrote.

“A decision to prohibit the marketing of CBD, which indeed constitutes the most restrictive obstacle to trade in products lawfully manufactured and marketed in other [EU] member states, can be adopted only if that risk appears sufficiently established.”

It noted that two key UN conventions classifying illegal drug do not specifically mention CBD, although they mention “cannabis extracts”.

The ruling also highlighted that France had not banned synthetic CBD, which has the same properties but is not produced using the entire cannabis plant.

Antonin Cohen, who faced the charges along with his fellow KanaVape co-founder Sébastien Béguerie, said the lack of clear regulations on CBD prevented safe market development.

“It is fundamental to develop strict quality standards in the interests of consumers in order to avoid the circulation of dangerous products,” he said. “My goal is to improve access to the benefits of plants, in a legal and secure environment.”

Robert Jappie, a partner at the law firm Ince, said the ruling was “a big win” for the CBD industry.

“By confirming that there was no scientific evidence to suggest that CBD has a harmful effect on the human body, the court has made it very difficult for the European commission to pursue their proposed classification of CBD as a narcotic,” he said.

The World Health Organization says CBD is “generally well tolerated with a good safety profile” and that there is no evidence “of any public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD”.

In recent years there has been a marked growth in the use of CBD oils, tinctures, creams and other products by people seeking to relieve stress and anxiety and to reduce inflammation. A study in the European Journal of Pain suggests that skin-applied CBD can help lower arthritic pain, but there is a lack of clinical evidence for its overall efficacy, and concern over the unregulated nature of the CBD market.

Epidyolex, a CBD-based drug known as Epidiolex in the US, has been approved by US and European health authorities to treat two rare and severe types of childhood epilepsy – the only such drug to receive the status so far.

First of its Kind Pharmaceutical Company Awaits U.S. Federal License to Develop Medicines Derived from THC and CBD

November 26, 2020 by CBD OIL

(Desert Hot Springs, California, USA) – Royal Emerald Pharmaceuticals (REP) is poised to receive the first-of-its-kind federal (DEA) license to research, develop and manufacture medicines derived from THC and CBD. Royal Emerald’s mission is to be leaders in the pharmaceutical field by creating non-addictive medicines for veterans, law enforcement and first responders suffering from ailments, such as, PTSD, pain, anxiety, depression, sleep apnea, opiate addiction and other ailments. 

“Our veterans and first responders have paid a tremendous price sacrificing for the betterment of our communities. I am dedicated to repaying their efforts with the best-in-class medicines to benefit society’s heroes,” said Royal Emerald’s CEO Mark Crozier. 

“’Safe, effective, and non-addictive medicines,’ is the motto that drives our research. We are currently researching new and safer Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Botanical Raw Materials (BRMs) that will form the basis of our medicines. Our company seeks only the most current, innovative, and industry-accepted research to ensure our position as a leader in this fast-paced and ever-changing market,” Crozier said. 

REP will provide state-of-the-art medicines and active pharmaceutical ingredients derived from THC and CBD to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) registrants and government agencies. The company is a private corporation with a federal government license pending approval. Once granted, REP will be the “first in the nation” to receive this federal approval.

“We adhere to the highest standards and quality measures in our labs to ensure that our products exceed consumer expectations. We guarantee superior quality medicines by complying with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our scientists and team of experts are experienced in drug research and development, ensuring our products are consistent, pure and safe for consumers,” he added. 

Crozier, along with most of the management team, are veterans and retired first responders who understand the everyday struggles these targeted groups face in their line of work. Crozier started REP in 2017 to combat the medical issues our veterans and first responders face during and after their service.

The Difference Between Hemp Oil and CBD Oil

February 29, 2020 by CBD OIL Leave a Comment

It is important to remember the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil. These are two completely different products that will work in a completely different way for a variety of reasons. Understanding the differences between the two will make you more comfortable when trying to find the right product to treat a specific condition.

CBD is not an active ingredient in hemp oil or any other cannabinoid product. Hemp, while derived from a non-psychoactive variety of Cannabis, has many other cannabinoids besides CBD in it. THC is one of those cannabinoids, but it is not as effective as CBD in treating various conditions, including most ailments and conditions.

CBD is generally a very good antioxidant, which fights off free radicals that can destroy cells and lead to many of the same health concerns. If you are interested in consuming CBD oil, be sure to use only pure, all-natural sources of CBD. However, the CBD is generally more effective than THC.

In contrast, hemp oil, also known as cannabutter, contains all of the CBD that you need to keep your symptoms in check without the psychoactive effects of THC. All of the THC is removed before the oil is prepared. This makes it easier to get the benefits of CBD without the dangers of THC.

Because THC is so easy to process, the major source of CBD oils is the hemp plant. Unfortunately, hemp is illegal in the United States, making it difficult to import hemp oil into the country. This is not the case with CBD oil, however.

Because CBD is a complete cannabinoid, it does not get broken down in the body. Therefore, there is no need to use a THC-based product. Hemp oil is simply a stand-alone product that includes all of the CBD.

One of the best things about hemp oil is that it is all-natural, which means it has no side effects. Unlike a variety of THC-based products, hemp oil does not cause negative side effects or interfere with any medications you may be taking. It is a great product for those who have already had a negative experience with THC, and who are looking for a safe alternative.

Although hemp oil is not THC-based, it is not completely without its risks. CBD oil is not a controlled substance like THC, and it can lead to memory loss, elevated blood pressure, nausea, confusion, and seizures. If you have had a seizure or any adverse reaction to any of these, consult your doctor or a professional before using any hemp oil.

To use hemp oil, take the oil with food, but be careful to make sure that you are taking the right dosage. Don’t exceed the recommended dose of 2.5 milligrams per tablespoon. Taking too much, or taking too little, can have dire consequences, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Using hemp oil in a variety of ways can help you achieve and maintain the health you desire. It can be added to food as a cooking oil, used as a supplement during a massage, and even used for heating the bath. There are many different ways that you can use it for various ailments, including arthritis, colitis, inflammation, digestive problems, and even anxiety.

Just like with CBD, the biggest benefit of using hemp oil as opposed to THC is that it has no dangerous side effects. With CBD, you are taking a substance that is psychoactive, but with hemp oil, you are removing the psychoactivity while still providing a lot of benefits that are similar to the benefits you would get from CBD.

The bottom line is that hemp oil is a complete dietary supplement. It is not only great for treating inflammation, it is a complete dietary supplement in its own right.

Medical Benefits of Cannabidiol Oil

February 29, 2020 by CBD OIL Leave a Comment

The most significant difference between synthetic and natural cannabis is the amount of CBD (cannabidiol) oil present in the plant. In fact, only about 10% of the THC in marijuana is CBD, so the body can easily differentiate between the two.

1000 mg cbd oil

Thus, the dosage amount of THC, which creates the highest level of psychoactive effects, must be taken in lower doses than the CBD. Research has shown that CBD and THC have very similar levels of effects, but the cannabinoid’s efficiency as a therapeutic agent is the main difference between them.

In addition, unlike synthetic THC, which can cause death if taken in very large doses, the plant has been known to be used safely by everyone. There are many different strains available, and each strain has its own unique structure. Some strains may be more well-tolerated than others.

With the different strains available, it is no wonder why people experience different experiences. But there is more than just strain to consider. There are also different strains that have different medicinal benefits, some of which are very useful in treating certain conditions, like chronic pain.

For example, for pain treatment, it has been found that one particular strain called Charlotte’s Web contains high amounts of cannabidiol. In fact, it is considered to be one of the most effective strains that are known to help in chronic pain treatment.

Some other strains, called Pain Pillow or HoneyD, contain high amounts of CBD and may even help in pain relief and muscle spasms. But, CBD oil should never be substituted for medical treatment or prescription drugs.

Even though CBD oil may help with pain management, its use should be strictly reserved for medical treatment. Medical patients should always consult their doctors before they try any kind of cannabis extract.

Any kind of cannabis extract, be it from an actual strain or from a CBD-rich plant, should never be used without first consulting your doctor. The medical literature is filled with stories about people who have tried taking cannabis extract without realizing the serious and potentially lethal consequences they could encounter.

There is no need to take chances with medical treatment. If you are unsure about the degree of your medical condition, don’t take any risks.

Furthermore, even if you are comfortable with the idea of taking cannabis extract for medical treatment, this is not the best time to try it. It is advisable to try it first in a controlled environment, preferably with medical assistance.

With CBD oil, the drug interaction process is just too complicated. Patients must be very careful when trying CBD at first.

The law against possession of any kind of cannabis is still on the books. Even so, some states in the United States have legalized its medical use, and the plants are widely available online and in many retail stores.

A Look at CBD Oil Reviews

February 29, 2020 by CBD OIL Leave a Comment

Have you heard of CBD oil reviews? That’s a label that is also known as cannabidiol, which is the non-psychoactive component of the plant. It is often used to help people with muscle spasms and seizures, however, there is a certain benefit to using it for other purposes as well.

The good news is that this substance can be helpful in a number of areas. It is being tested for many diseases, such as cancer and multiple sclerosis. CBD is being used in many pharmaceuticals as a treatment for anxiety and depression. It is helping to decrease the size of tumors and reducing the blood flow to tumors that would not ordinarily be painful.

Other medical studies are looking at the use of this substance to stop the progress of Alzheimer’s disease. In some cases, it can reduce the affects of HIV.

When doctors are conducting studies on CBD, they will test it on animals. Because they have little to no human exposure, they can get a better understanding of how CBD works. Even though CBD is a Schedule I drug, scientists still have a chance to do the research and prove that it has the same benefits as other medications on the market.

Those who have researched CBD have had mixed results with the results. Some studies have shown that it may help with anxiety and depression, but there are also studies that show the opposite.

There are some common CBD Oil reviews that have not been proven yet. The most common is that it does not help with HIV or cancer. Most people still think it might, but that is not the case.

The great thing about researching these products is that the results will vary from person to person. Some people have reported great benefits, while others haven’t. There is no denying that CBD has been used by millions of people in different countries, so there is no reason why it can’t work in the United States as well.

It has also been reported that people who use the CBD to help with pain may experience weight loss. It doesn’t help you lose weight immediately, but rather, it helps with the overall metabolic rate and helps to burn more calories. With the energy boost, you will find that you don’t need to over eat to feel better.

To continue using CBD oil to help with pain and other illnesses, make sure that you have done your homework. You want to make sure that you know what the main uses of this compound are. If you are only going to be using it for a short time, then the medical research isn’t going to mean much to you.

A wise decision would be to check out CBD Oil Reviews and see if any of the products that are on the market really work. You should look for the ones that will provide a wealth of information that will help you understand the whole concept of the use of this substance. Do your research because it could save you a lot of time and money.

CBD doesn’t seem to be as controversial as other treatments that are out there. That means that there is less of a chance that there will be false claims. It is a product that is safe and effective, so make sure that you check out the CBD Oil Reviews before making your purchase.

These CBD Oil Reviews can provide you with information regarding the effectiveness of this substance. By reviewing the various CBD Oil Reviews, you can determine if this could be the right answer for you.

How to Find the Best CBD Oil For Your Condition

February 29, 2020 by CBD OIL Leave a Comment

There are a number of different ways to find the best CBD oil for your condition. The trick is to get informed before you start trying different products. In this article I’ll briefly discuss some of the many products on the market and how they differ from each other.

The only ingredient that can be scientifically proven to be a completely natural botanical substance is cannabidiol. There are different methods used in its synthesis, including: Phytocannabinoids, which are the active ingredients found in cannabis; Cannabichromene, which produce the characteristic blue hues in hashish; and Cannabigerol, which are present in peanuts and aspirin. They are all similar in that they induce a reduced seizure threshold. Unfortunately, any use of cannabis may cause addiction.

There are different products available online, and it is important to know what each one has to offer. As a rule of thumb, a CBD oil should contain cannabidiol up to 0.5%. As mentioned earlier, the manufacturers can make it stronger, but if it contains too much of the chemical, it will most likely lose its effectiveness.

Before attempting to find the best product, it’s important to research the most popular hemp-based formulations. Here are some of the top brands:

Because many states have legalized the use of CBD, it’s likely that the only hemp-based formulations available to consumers are the pure ones. Because of this, they should be carefully studied before being purchased.

There are a few different hemp-based formulations on the market, with one of the most popular ones being Aganistripal Thatch Extract. It is made from hemp seeds, but instead of cooking them down, they are soaked and crushed, so they are prepared like a powder.

This extract contains the strongest extracts available on the market. One study found that it reduced the duration of seizures by half.

Although it’s very powerful, this product does not pass FDA muster. The reason for this is that CBD is still considered a Schedule I drug. Manufacturers can apply for a DEA license, but it is rare for this to be granted.

Another major difference between the two products is that Terra Zoodicus extract contains cannabidiol as its main ingredient. This product comes in a capsule and provides relief from both daily and acute seizure disorders. In addition, it is the only product on the market that includes caffeine.

Studies on this extract showed that it also showed some positive effects in reducing depression. However, the ingredient cannabidiol was responsible for this effect.

Unfortunately, because it contains cannabidiol, it is highly potent. This should make consumers think twice about using it to treat a number of conditions.

The safest way to purchase both CBD hemp-based formulations is to find a reputable company that has extensive experience with both products. You can easily find information about the three companies I recommend by looking for them on the Internet. This should save you the headache of trying a number of products that may not work for you.

What You Need To Know About CBD Oil For Dogs

February 29, 2020 by CBD OIL Leave a Comment

CBD oil for dogs is a solution to some of the more common illnesses that can be caused by the use of certain drugs. An example is a common canine cough that is caused by the medication Finasteride, which is used to treat male pattern baldness.

While this medication has been shown to reduce the rate of hair loss, it also increases the risk of prostate and breast cancer. Other side effects are decreased sexual activity and slowed growth in many dogs.

CBD oil for dogs is a natural alternative that does not affect the function of the liver. The immune system is unaffected by the anti-androgen in the dog’s system. The result is a stronger immune system that fights off the effects of the Finasteride.

Dogs that have been diagnosed with certain cancers of the bladder and testicles will respond well to CBD. It is often used in conjunction with these cancers because of its ability to affect cancer cells without affecting healthy cells. For dogs that have undergone surgery or chemotherapy, CBD can actually improve the quality of their overall health.

Because it can be found in coconut oil, it is easy to keep in a purse or pocket for emergencies. You will need to keep some on hand just in case of unexpected visits from your vet. Using it regularly should lead to a significantly improved quality of life in many dogs.

There are other conditions that can be treated using CBD. One of these is called Gastrointestinal Collapse. Your dog may be experiencing weakness in his hind legs and cannot get around properly.

Once proper diagnosis is made, a cause can be found and treatment can begin. For some dogs, the side effects of the CBD have to be dealt with in conjunction with the Finasteride. This is true even if you choose to give your dog the CBD to start with.

Some dogs may be allergic to the high doses of CBD that are administered. Also, it is important to be aware that the drug is addictive. This should be taken into consideration when there is any concern about the dog becoming addicted to the drug.

Also, there is the possibility that your dog may not be able to tolerate the effect that the drug will have on his gastrointestinal system. In fact, many dogs do not like the taste of it. If this is an issue for your dog, then it may be best to start a new lifestyle with the dog.

You should also be aware that there is a chance that Finasteride could make your dog totally dependent on it, meaning that he will have to have a strong vet’s prescription to gain his trust back. He may become quite ill with pancreatitis if this were to happen. This should be considered, and if it is a risk that you are comfortable with, then it is best to avoid using the CBD.

All in all, it is important to consider the dosage that you should be giving your dog before using CBD. Even with it being just a supplement to keep him healthy, it can be very dangerous to overdose him. Also, this drug does have some very strange side effects that you should be aware of.

In conclusion, it is important to take all precautions when using CBD for dogs. Talk to your vet to find out the right dosage that would be safe for your dog. It is not unusual for an older dog to need more than one dose of the CBD each day.
