The Growth Of Increasingly Strange And Unusual CBD Products

As with any new product made from CBD, manufacturers can make any claim about what their infused product can do.

The prognosticators in the industry have been saying for years that there will be a huge surge of cannabidiol products emerging. And with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill in December, 2018, that legalized hemp and the CBD derived from it (with the caveat that the USDA still has to formulate rules for growing and distributing it), the floodgates are wide open for anyone to take their shot at a new CBD product.

Check it out: Tony Magee, the founder of Lagunitas Brewing, makers of THC and CBD infused beer and seltzer, said during a speech at the 2018 NCIA Seed to Sale show in Denver that he saw a future where there would be CBD infused women’s makeup that “leaves you feeling good all day” and Febreeze that “smells like roses but has a touch of THC in it.”

“You gotta be thinking way over the horizon,” he told the crowd of mostly cannabis entrepreneurs. “If you are a retailer, you have to love your customers and prepare for not what’s coming next, but for the unknowable.”

Those words of a jazzed-up speaker have been more of a call to action in the world of increasingly strange and unusual CBD-infused products. Studies have shown how the cannabinoids in CBD bind to the cannabinoid receptors in humans, helping ease inflammation and pain. Labs have used more of a pharmaceutical model to study and develop CBD products and distribution routes, such as CBD tinctures, salves, sublinguals, patches, capsules, and gels, most of which can be purchased at your local pharmacy or in a kiosk at your favorite mall.

But how about wearing CBD-infused active wear from Acabada, infused with up to 25 grams of encapsulated CBD that lasts through 40 washes, to calm you while you work out?

Or CBD-infused sheets, pillowcases and bath towels available from Royal Heritage Home, a home textile company?

Axim Biotech has developed a series of hemp-derived cannabinoid-based oral care products, including toothpaste, mouthwash, lip balm, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and more.

Then there are CBD sex aids.

Foria, a THC and CBD wellness manufacturer, has a line of sexual pleasure enhancing CBD oil, Awaken, plus CBD suppositories for “vaginal intercourse and anal play,” and an organic hemp lubricant they call “a bedroom essential.”

Quim Rock, another sexual wellness product maker, has a CBD oil product called the Happy Clam, which they call “eye cream for your vagina.”

What more could you want? Well, the sky is the limit.

But as with any new product made from CBD, which has not been regulated and studied in the classically rigorous manner (double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial with humans) that is approved by the Federal Drug Administration, any manufacturer can make any claim about what their CBD product can do. All it takes is a little imagination of how to infuse it, how to market the product, and how to convince the customer that this wonder cannabinoid will be the magic bullet that heals what ails them, wherever and however they use it.

4 Commuter-Friendly Exercises For Your Mind And Body

With more than 4 million people spending an hour or more traveling to work, Americans have less time at home and more in the confines of car, bus or train.

Picture this: It’s 5:15 p.m., the caffeine has long worn off and you’re sitting in the car in-between the office and the leftovers waiting for you at home in your fridge. While two-day-old spaghetti doesn’t sound particularly savory, you swear the commute is two-times what it used to be.

And the thing is, you’re not totally wrong. A 2018 report from the U.S. Census Bureau found that the commute of many Americans has been slowly increasing over the past few years. With more than 4 million people spending an hour or more traveling to work, Americans have less time at home and more in the confines of car, bus or train.

If Spotify and Audible aren’t helping to pass the time, consider passing the time with a series of activities that will not only sharpen your mind, but help keep stress at bay.

Here are four exercises that can help reduce stress and elevate health:

Toe Crunches

Whether stretching toes out inside stilettos or merely trying to get the blood moving during a particularly frustrating merge, try flexing and unflexing your toes. Advanced Foot and Ankle Care Specialists in Dallas, Texas says that people who regularly stretch their feet and toes can improve flexibility, and increase blood flow.

Brain Waves

Can you work your brain while keeping an eye safely on the road? Consider listening to classical music, which isn’t actually proven to raise your IQ, but can help calm your mood by lowering your blood pressure and sharpening your memory.

Finger Taps

Here’s something crazy: Tapping your fingers can actually reduce stress and anxiety. Called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), you tap fingers along with a mantra on your body’s meridian points, which include the eyebrow, side of the eye, under the nose, chin, and more.

Neck Stretches

Dr. Jo believes stretching the neck is a great way to not only release tension, but neck pain as well. Cervical rotation, where the head tilts from side to side, helps elongate the neck and can be done with eyes firmly on the road. See a few more neck exercises here.

And when all else fails? Crying works wonders.

The Surprising Way The Coronavirus Affects The Marijuana Industry

The Surprising Way The Coronavirus Affects The Marijuana Industry

Marijuana vaporizer manufacturers rely on Chinese factories, which have shut down in response to prevent spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

Since its arrival in December, the coronavirus has infected more than 42,000 people and claimed more than 1,000 lives. Many travel plans and routes have been disrupted as well, with some cruise ships facing strict quarantines to diminish the coronavirus from spreading. To further prevent the disease outbreak, at least 24 Chinese provinces have shut down businesses and factories.

This move, while critical to world health, has had a substantial impact on global trade. That includes the cannabis industry, where marijuana vaporizer companies often rely on Chinese manufacturers to produce hardware. You might be surprised to learn that almost every component of vaporizers come from Chinese factories, with cannabis oil serving as the only American-made good in many vaping products.

“The coronavirus has had a significant impact on the entire manufacturing supply chain in China, which will be felt in the coming months,” Richard Huang, CEO of California vaporizer manufacturer Cloudious9, told Marijuana Business Daily.

“It could be a very difficult year for hardware companies trying to maintain a steady supply of inventory,” he added.

However, it’s not the first time such disruptions have occurred. President Donald Trump’s trade war with China caused similar tensions within the cannabis industry, as companies that didn’t touch the plant stared down major tariffs from importing supplies.

This breakdown in the supply chain could lead many vaporizer producers to scramble in order to fulfill orders. While enough product remains available to provide retailers, fast-selling products might soon become out of stock for the unforeseeable future. According to Arnaud Dumas de Rauly, co-founder and CEO of New York vaporizer manufacturer The Blinc Group, the biggest risk to the supply chain is “discontinuity.”

“If several key raw material suppliers suddenly close down or are several months late in their shipments, it will constitute a threat to our timely fulfillment capabilities,” Dumas de Rauly said.

Many in the cannabis industry have been unable to visit China’s Shenzhen area, which houses a significant number of hardware factories. This has caused complications in future plans and ensuring demands are met across cannabis markets in the United States. However, the American vaping-related lung illness could soften the blow. Sales of vaporizer products have dropped in the following months, and cannabis retailers have a back stock of goods to sell consumers as a result.

Can Cannabis Manage Anxiety

When it comes to marijuana and anxiety, even when smoking a strain that contains a predominant amount of THC, the role of CBD is vital.

Marijuana is a particular drug, one that can cause drastically different effects depending on the user, their mood and level of experience. One of THC’s most interesting effects is the one it has on anxiety; it can be extremely relaxing or it can cause a borderline panic attack if ingested the wrong day.

Psychology Today reports that findings on THC and anxiety are mixed, with some studies saying that it relieves anxiety and with others claiming the opposite.

This isn’t anything new for seasoned marijuana users, who’ve likely experienced both of these results as they’ve consumed marijuana through the years.

When it comes to marijuana and anxiety, even when smoking a strain that contains a predominant amount of THC, the role of CBD is vital. Studies have found that when there’s CBD in marijuana strains the compound can temper the most powerful effects of THC, which have been associated with panic attacks and strong bouts of anxiety.

It’s also important to know which kind of anxiety you’re experiencing. “There are a lot of different types of anxiety which will definitely influence how people respond to different forms of treatment or therapeutic intervention with something like cannabis. Anxiety can be anticipatory or it could be generalized or it can be connected to depression or it could be more of a panic disorder,” cannabis educator and consultant Emma Chasen told The Greatist.

Chasen says that anxiety associated with depression, the one that leaves you feeling without motivation, is the one that works best with marijuana. “For people who have anxiety connected to depression [or] general dysphoria, THC can actually be really helpful because it is euphoric.” Still, the amount of cannabis consumed matters. Large amounts of THC will likely trigger a negative experience, one that can be augmented if the user suffers from anxiety or similar symptoms.

While Chasen has a positive outlook on marijuana use for managing anxiety, other experts believe other options can manage the condition more effectively, especially for people who experience anxiety for long periods of time.

“When people are struggling with anxiety, and they believe marijuana helps them, they’re often focusing more on the short-term benefits of smoking pot. But if they look at some of the long-term issues—like not being very productive in other areas of life, or avoiding social activities or other challenges—it’s important to consider how marijuana use might impact those things,” Dr. Joel Minden told Psychology Today. Although his outlook on the drug rings outdated, the argument that marijuana plays the role of other drugs in regulating emotions does make sense.

As a way of coping with anxiety, Minden recommends everyday activities that can help you manage your condition. Exercise, monitoring your thoughts, gradual exposure to your fears, eating correctly, meditation and mindfulness are all activities that can be taken up at any point in our lives and that will provide relief to any person battling anxiety.

Despite Layoffs, Cannabis Industry Job Growth Continues To Boom

Despite Layoffs, Cannabis Industry Job Growth Continues To Boom

When compared to other industries, it is truly amazing to see the creation of jobs in the United States by the industry, as well as the cannabis industry’s growth in general.

Amid layoffs appearing as a constant, The Supreme Cannabis Company is the latest in the industry to let a percentage of its staff go. Last night after the market’s close, the company announced a 15% layoff, releasing a third of corporate positions and 13% of its operational ones. This report comes after the announcements of companies like Tilray and Aurora also slashing jobs.

All hope is not lost though in the ganja workforce. Leafly found 243,700 full-time-equivalent (FTE) jobs in the United States that are supported by legal cannabis as of January 2020. That is a 15% annual increase.

This data was reported in Leafly’s fourth annual Cannabis Jobs Report. Even more encouraging, the report shows that the industry created 33,700 new jobs nationwide in 2019, effectively making it the fastest-growing job arena in the United States.

According to the report, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Illinois are leading the fight in terms of employment expansion. Massachusetts recently celebrated the one year anniversary of legalizing cannabis for adult-use in the state and added 10,226 jobs to boot. Oklahoma saw a 221% growth in 2019, supporting 9,412 full-time jobs. Illinois adult-use market rolled out on the first of the year, and early 2020 data shows this is already a $470 million annual market supporting 9,176 jobs.

An interesting tidbit of information: Massachusetts has more cannabis industry workers than hairstylists and cosmetologists, and Illinois has twice the number of cannabis industry workers than they do meat packers. When compared to other industries, it is truly amazing to see the creation of jobs in the United States by the industry, as well as the cannabis industry’s growth in general.

Though the previously mentioned states take the prize for the fastest job growth, California is still America’s largest cannabis employer. However, Colorado may be the nation’s biggest per-capita cannabis job market. With California offering one job per 980 residents, Colorado supplies one job per 165 residents.

Colorado is also passing Washington state in terms of jobs. Though both states legalized cannabis for adult-use in 2012, Colorado supplies nearly 10,000 more jobs than Washington state, despite Washington’s population containing nearly 2 million more residents.

Despite cannabis job expansion’s rapid growth in most of the country, California and Michigan suffered technical job losses.

Leafly’s experts estimate that their job markets fell due to changes in laws and regulations. In California, an estimated 8,000 jobs moved from legal to non-legal status, but as mentioned before it is still America’s largest cannabis job provider. Michigan’s new regulatory processes pushed hundreds of legally operating dispensaries into illicit status.

Leafly started their annual job counts four years ago, upon the discovery that federal and state labor economists do not account for state-legal cannabis jobs in their employment reports. The reason? Federal prohibition. The NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes classify cannabis retail stores in the same category as art supply stores, hot tub stores, and auction houses. While cannabis cultivators have the same job code as hay farmers and agave growers.

It is important to note that this report does not include jobs created by CBD since it’s recent change in legal status. Because the regulations for CBD differ from state-legal cannabis, there is no data to build from yet.

Should The ATF Be The Feds’ Next Step After Marijuana Is Federally Legalized?

Should The ATF Be The Feds’ Next Step After Marijuana Is Federally Legalized?

Under terms of HR 420, federally legalized marijuana would be taken away from the DEA and reassigned under the auspices of the ATF overseen by the Department of Justice.

Three of the current Democratic choices for president — Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders — claim that, if elected, they will legalize marijuana at the federal level. This would not just be rescheduling it, but completely taking if off the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) list of controlled substances.

While the possibility of that actually happening is left to major speculation (not just about a Democratic candidate winning the election, but following their pre-election claims), an idea of what federally legalized marijuana might look like has been offered for Congressional consideration by one of the longest supporters of cannabis legalization, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), founder and co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus.

Blumenauer introduced a bill January 19, 2019 — the Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol Act, or HR 420 — that provides a new framework for handling legalized marijuana within an old federal bureaucracy.

“While the bill number may be a bit tongue-in-cheek, the issue is very serious,” Blumenauer said at the time.

Under terms of HR 420, federally legalized marijuana would be taken away from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and reassigned under the auspices of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) overseen by the Department of Justice. The bureau would be renamed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Marijuana, Firearms and Explosives (ATMF).

Neither that bill, nor a Senate version, the Marijuana Revenue and Regulation Act introduced a month later, have gained any traction in Congress over the last year.

Putting marijuana together with tobacco and alcohol in this way appears like a sort of logical convergence—tobacco and alcohol and marijuana, all vices of choice, managed in the same federal bureaucracy that is not under the control of the DEA.

Beyond what could or should happen in Congress is the uneasy feeling that many in the cannabis industry have about federal agents enforcing a new set of rules and regulations — especially the ATF, that has a history of issues with the public trust, and a few incidents of going overboard (think Waco).

Cozying up to a group like this doesn’t seem in the best interests of an industry looking for relief from a gateway drug stigma promoted, in part, by law enforcement reacting to misinformation.

ATF’s Special Response Team using military-style “superior tactical operational proficiencies and specialized equipment” have busted into homes in the past where small amounts of illegal cannabis were being grown or sold, and sometimes became the operative force that split up families and otherwise destroyed lives.

And it would seem a bit of a stretch to convince this bureau that what it considers an addictive substance illegal on both a federal and state level right now, according to an open letter from the ATF in 2011, could one day soon be treated as legal as a pack of cigarettes.

But…there is another side to the equation.

When you read about grow and cultivation operations like the 160-acre, 3 million square foot Coachillin Industrial Cultivation and Ancillary Canna-Business Park being built in Desert Hot Springs, California, secured by armed U.S. military veterans that would give any cartel bad guy a momentary pause, there’s some inkling that stronger measures may be needed to keep the business of a valuable cash crop humming. And those measures to properly manage public safety just may need to come from the resources of a government bureaucracy like the ATF. Shouldn’t they?

Can Marijuana Create False Memories Study Results

In a virtual reality study, one hit of marijuana caused participants to double the number of false memories they produced.

The memory is a tricky device to trust—it’s an imperfect management tool for the recollection of our past. Research has shown that each time we recall a memory, we inadvertently change its details in our brain. What was once remembered as a cloudy day at the beach suddenly becomes a rainy morning at the lake if we’re not careful.

According to new research, marijuana users should be cautious in believing their memory is telling the truth. That’s because people are more likely to create “false memories” under the influence of cannabis. One hit of weed caused individuals to double the number of false memories they created in a virtual reality scenario, a new study found.

“We are all prone to the formation of false memories, independent of cannabis use,” study author Johannes Ramaekers, a psychopharmacology professor at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, told CNN. “The susceptibility for false memory, however, increases with cannabis. Under cannabis, users can easily accept fake truths for true memory.”

Researchers defined a false memory as a recollection that either didn’t happen or included key differences than what actually happened. For the study, scientists presented participants with different virtual reality scenarios they were later asked to recall. These included an eyewitness scenario, where subjects saw a fight break out at a train station, and a perpetrator scenario, where participants became broke college students that needed to steal money from someone’s purse. An additional experiment asked users to remember words they’d never been given.

In all three scenarios, Ramaekers said, the marijuana users showed a higher susceptibility to increasing false memories. Researchers don’t have a firm answer as to why this happens. Ramaekers suspects that marijuana use activates hippocampus receptors, or where the brain stores memory, and that could produce “fragmentation of thought, loosening of associations and heightened distractibility,” he said.

When asked to remember the events a week later, researchers discovered no significant difference between marijuana users and placebo participants.

As marijuana legalization continues across the country, researchers say this knowledge could affect interpersonal dynamics at home and work. More importantly, the study’s authors emphasized false memories in criminal investigations, where bystanders intoxicated on marijuana could accidentally provide false information to police.

Get In The Mood For Valentine’s Day With CBD

Get In The Mood For Valentine’s Day With CBD

Among other attributes, CBD at the proper potency can impart some body-centered sensations that can help you relax with your partner.

Valentine’s Day contains not only a lot of sweetness, but as Carrie Solomon, CEO and Cofounder of Greater Goods observes, this day also comes a lot of expectations! CBD products can help couples get ready for this special date night, as well as enabling one to relax as the evening unfolds.

In Solomon’s estimation, “CBD chocolate is a perfect remedy when you want to take the edge off of a holiday filled with butterflies, or simply to treat yourself if you opt to stay in and make yourself your own number one that evening.” Those who prefer to offer a toast this evening can add some water soluble CBD drops into a glass of champagne. These drops add a CBD to one’s drink without any oily residue and or impacting the flavor of the bubbly.

Also, Solomon states the efficacy of CBD in getting one in the mood for this special day. “CBD at the proper potency can also impart some body-centered sensations that can help you relax with your honey as you sip on infused hot chocolate or nibble on sweet CBD treats together. No matter what, have fun with CBD to make every day a sweet day.”

As CBD does not contain THC, one can remain present and able to consent without getting high. However, as each person reacts differently to CBD, experiment before the special day so you can ascertain the correct dose of CBD that will keep you sexy and not sleepy.

For those looking for a non-edible CBD option, Trista Okel, Founder & CEO, Empower BodyCare suggests using CBD topicals to get one in the right frame of mind so you can fully enjoy this day. ”Taking 30 minutes of self care time to center yourself and relax before a night out with your love is the perfect way to get in the mood. I suggest taking a hot bath in our CBD-infused soaking salts right before date night or incorporating a soak for two into your evening.”

Consider adding in a CBD massage oil candle. These candles fill the room with a soothing sensual smell. Then, as the candle burns down, use the liquid oil for a sensual massage a deux. Should the evening veer into the sexual, CBD sensual lube can aid in an enhanced sensual encounter. Bear in mind that as these lubes contain oil, they should not be used with latex condoms.

Be mindful that even though CBD is non-psychoactive, taking CBD will heighten the body’s natural response to sexual arousal thus further increasing hormones like serotonin and oxytocin. Therefore, be sure to have a conversation about consent and boundaries before adding CBD to your evening’s pleasure, as well as continuing to chat throughout the evening.

For more pointers about how to combine CBD and sex, check out these findings from a cannabis and sex workshop hosted by Seattle-based Babeland.

This New Device Can Differentiate Between Hemp And Marijuana

Hemp and marijuana look similar, which is not great for police and hemp industry workers. This new device can help.

Hemp and marijuana look startling similar, a fact that has confused many police enforcers and that has allowed some savvy marijuana users to walk away without charges. Due to the legal differences between the two, it’s become very important for the people in charge to differentiate the two.

Hemp is legal in the country, while cannabis remains illegal in many states. Still, carrying large amounts of either will catch the attention of most officials.

Science Daily reports that a truck driver recently spent a week in jail due to the fact that he was carrying tons of what looked like marijuana. It was hemp, but police officers couldn’t tell the difference.

A group of researchers from Texas, led by Dmitry Kurouski, PhD, devised a way of measuring the amounts of THC in hemp and marijuana, since this is what determines what is legal and what isn’t in some states. Hemp plants contain 0.3% or less of THC.

The method the researchers came up with is fast and noninvasive, with a 100% accuracy in the tests that were conducted. The test functions by looking for differences between hemp and cannabis in key regions of the plant.

“When we saw such a crystal-clear picture of THC that appeared in one second of spectral acquisition, that was mind-blowing,” explains Kuroski.

Now, these researchers are looking for a way of partnering up with the industry in order to mass produce a device that can reach police enforcers throughout the country. They predict this process could take between two and three years. Afterwards, they might device a similar test that can measure CBD.

Trump To Remove Medical Marijuana Protections

Trump To Remove Medical Marijuana Protections

Trump has proposed ending a rider provision in his fiscal year 2021 budget plan that protects states with legal medical marijuana from Justice Department interference.

In public, President Donald Trump has kept his views on marijuana close to the chest. He expressed support for the STATES Act, a bipartisan bill that would protect legal marijuana states from federal interference, which caused some cannabis advocates to believe Trump was on their side.

Recent actions, however, place that belief into question. Trump said in leaked audio recently that smoking marijuana causes users to “lose IQ points,” which has been scientifically denied by the National Institutes of Drug Abuse. In addition, we’ve seen Trump secure the wrong border in his War on Drugs, as Border Patrol has reported increases in seizures of marijuana on the U.S.-Canada border as marijuana smuggling incidents have dropped along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Now, Trump has proposed ending a rider provision in his fiscal year 2021 budget plan that protects states with legal medical marijuana from Justice Department interference. Specifically, the rider states the Justice Department can’t use federal funding to prohibit states or territories “from implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.” Trump’s budget also includes a rider that prohibits Washington D.C. from using local tax dollars to regulate the legal sale of marijuana.

Both of these actions stand in conflict with previous statements Trump made back in 2016 on the campaign trail.

“I think it certainly has to be a state—I have not smoked it—it’s got to be a state decision … I do like it, you know, from a medical standpoint … it does do pretty good things,” Trump said. “But from the other standpoint, I think that it should be up to the states.”

The rider that protects medical marijuana in legal states has been renewed each year since 2014. This isn’t the first time it’s been under scrutiny, though. President Barack Obama asked the policy to be removed during his tenure as well. But Trump is going one step further.

In December, the Trump Administration released large-scale spending legislation that stated as President he could ignore any medical marijuana protections provided by Congress. Whatever happens to this rider, the Trump administration reserves the right to “treat this provision consistent with the President’s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.”
