Iggy Azalea Calls Lizzo A ‘Troll’; Watch Gigi Hadid Kick A Woman Off Stage For Crashing Chanel Runway Show

Gigi Hadid to the rescue after a woman crashes the catwalk during Paris Fashion Week; Iggy Azalea claps back at Lizzo who may have thrown shade at her on Twitter.

Iggy Azalea Calls Lizzo A ‘Troll’ After The ‘Truth Hurts’ Singer Shades Her

Via iHeart Radio:

Lizzo is only two weeks away from breaking the Australian rapper’s record for longest-running No. 1 on the Hot 100 by a female rapper with her breakout hit “Truth Hurts.” However, Iggy isn’t ready for her 2014 single “Fancy” — which features Charli XCX and held the top spot for seven weeks — to lose the record just yet. So much so, she’s even started a Twitter campaign to ensure it doesn’t happen.

It all started when Lizzo appeared to throw some shade Iggy’s way while encouraging her fans to keep streaming “Truth Hurts.”

“YALL… IF WE KEEP THIS UP FOR 2 MORE WEEKS… TRUTH HURTS COULD BE THE LONGEST FEMALE RAP #1 OF ALL TIME….. RIGHT NOW ITS ‘FANCY’ ??? CAN WE DO IT?!” Lizzo tweeted on Monday (September 30). She then followed up, adding, “*Fancy is a BOP and my homie @charli_xcx is genius on it (STREAM CHARLI- HER NEW ALBUM NOW).”

It didn’t take long for Iggy to notice Lizzo’s possible shade as she responded in a since-deleted tweet: “I could have SWORN I was the one rapping that song but okay…” The “Boys” rapper then instructed her fans to stream Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s collab “Señorita,” which currently holds No. 2 spot behind “Truth Hurts.” Iggy doubled down on her tweet by changing her Twitter name to “IGGY AZALEA stream señorita” and her profile picture to a photo of Camila and Shawn.

However, when a fan suggested that Iggy should clarify if she was being serious or not, for Lizzo’s sake, Iggy replied: “Lizzo is A TROLL. Charli is A TROLL. Y’all the only ones who miss the gag every time.” The 29-year-old rapper later added, “Trust me. You know when I’m actually dragging someone, Like when I dragged wendy last week. Im mean. This ain’t that, I just saw y’all upset over nothing so I ran with the joke YOU provided me with. It’s all in good fun.”

Earlier this month, Iggy dragged Wendy Williams for throwing shade at her during the talk show hosts’ infamous “Hot Topics” segment. “Who’s the Australian girl with the fake body?” Wendy asked her audience. Iggy then fired back on Twitter, writing, “Who’s the crack head in the half way house with the gossip show thing?”

Watch Gigi Hadid Kick This Woman Off Stage For Crashing Chanel Runway Show

Via iHeart Radio:

A woman decided to storm Chanel’s runway finale at Paris Fashion Week when she hopped onstage mid-show and tried to walk with the other models along the Paris rooftop set at the Grand Palais. With no security around at the time, Gigi took it upon herself to confront the stage crasher, whom she forcibly escorted to the backstage area with a look of frustration, as witnessed on fan-shot videos from members in the audience.

According to WWD, the crasher in question was identified as Marie Benoliel, a comedian and YouTube personality popularly known as Marie S’Infiltre, who boasts 195,000 followers on Instagram. Benoliel attempted to blend in amongst the roster of chic runway stars, wearing a “hound’s tooth tweed suit and a flat-topped hat” and was all smiles during the scandalous scenario before her stunt was put to an end. The comic, currently performing at the Comédie des Champs Elysées theatre, eventually confirmed her identity on WWD’s Instagram page, writing, “That’s me,” under a post, along with a middle-finger emoji.

Among the spectators to witness the incident was Cardi B, who had a front-row view of the altercation.“I loved the show. I got a little scared when the girl flew on the [runway],” the rapper supposedly told reporters of Benoliel.

Apparently, this isn’t the first time Benoliel has crashed a show. Less than a week ago, she interrupted the Etam show wearing lingerie and a sleeping mask on her face, later bragging about the stunt on her Instagram page.

The Difference Between CBD Oils For Humans And Dogs

People love their dogs, to the point that many consider them part human. But have we gotten to the point where we can share both a walk and our stash of CBD with our beloved fur friend? When it comes to people and their dogs, is CBD use interchangeable? Where does the medicine diverge between man and beast?

The simple answer is that, outside of dosage, CBD oil is typically no different for either species, but the FDA does have different package labeling requirements for supplements meant for humans and pets. Also, CBD oil for dogs often has added flavoring, such as bacon, to make it more palatable to pooches. There’s also the addition of cod liver oil, which helps enhance the effects of CBD in canines.

Just like in humans, CBD is non-psychoactive for dogs, but it can be effective in treating arthritic inflammation in those that are affected. CBD will relax a dog (or human), especially if the product is made from high CBD cannabis versus hemp, but not to the point of passing out, unless you really give them a high dose. Consult a professional before titrating.

CBD can also go far in improving a dog’s life. Even if it’s the happiest big dawg or little pup, if they are spooked by loud noises, suffer from separation anxiety or are generally nervous, CBD oil, which can be gotten in capsule form and then split open and poured over food, will take the edge off and ease the dog’s mood.

It’s also estimated that up to 5 percent of dogs suffer from seizure disorder. CBD is a known seizure suppressor and in humans and canines alike it can practically cure even the most severe disorders. This is an area where you definitely want to contact a professional as to dosages and other cannabinoids and terpenes that need to be included for optimal results.

One area where there are no differences between humans and doggies is that CBD is a safe and effective treatment for myriad ailments, is thought to be a nervous system protectant and an appetite stimulant among many other things.

Above all, no matter your genus, CBD is an excellent anti-inflammatory. Inflammation is the cause of most aches, pains and even ailments out there. CBD is a medicine that you or wo/man’s best friend should take on a regular basis if needed so that it can be constantly working its magic and building up in the body’s system, whether two or four legged.

Why These 4 Professional Athletes Use CBD To Manage Pain

Many gym warriors and amateur athletes have turned to CBD for recovery, but what do the professionals have to say?

There are plenty of claims made about CBD these days. Sometimes it can be difficult to parse between fact and fiction, as peer-reviewed research is limited on the subject. Studies have shown that CBD can be an effective painkiller and promote a better night’s sleep, which is why CBD has become so attractive for athletes in recent years. Amateur rock climbers and cyclists alike have touted using CBD in recovery, but what about the professionals that need effective pain management and anti-inflammatories have to say about CBD?

We collected what some notable professional athletes have said in the past around CBD to get a better gauge of how and why they’re turning to the cannabinoid.

Bubba Watson, professional golfer

Earlier this year Bubba Watson announced a multi-year partnership with cbdMD, a company that produces CBD products. In the announcement, Watson said he turned to CBD to help extend his career by easing pains and injuries he’s acquired throughout his career.

“I’ve had doctors involved to do my research and see what companies out there make a product that’s safe for me and safe for my family. It was a no brainer,” Watson said. “There’s no bad stuff in it, there are no chemicals in there that will mess you up or make you fail a drugs test. There are certain companies we trust.”

Rob Gronkowski, Super Bowl-winning tight end

After winning a Super Bowl last year with the New England Patriots, Rob Gronkowski walked away from football because the trauma placed upon his body was becoming too much to endure. Last month, Gronk begun advocating for football players using CBD in recovery, as using CBD has allowed him to become pain-free for the first time in his career.

“I’m advocating for CBD to be acceptable for all players for recovery,” he said. “You can just call me Mr. Recovery. You know you like that name. Mr. Recovery, baby.”

Riley Cote, former NHL enforcer

A long-time goon for the Philadelphia Flyers, Riley Cote was no stranger to suffering on the ice—regardless if he was on the giving or receiving end. After trying CBD in 2013, Cote has since become a CBD advocate and started his own CBD company as well.

“I started mindfully consuming CBD just to help treat whatever damage I thought I’d caused. I stopped drinking for a full year,” Cote told DOPE Magazine. “The last two surgeries I had, I just used cannabis to manage my pain, no pharmaceuticals.”

Paul Pierce, former Boston Celtic star

You may know Paul Pierce for his NBA hot takes now, but the former Boston Celtics racked up some serious NBA miles, playing 19 seasons of professional basketball. He recently launched his own vape pen line, and stating he uses CBD to manage the “chronic pain and anxiety” as a retired professional athlete.

“Just being an athlete, you get addicted to pain medications,” Pierce said. “In my case, I was dealing with severe neck pain, because back in the early 2000s I was stabbed severely. I dealt with a lot of chronic pain in my neck and back. I was trying to find alternate remedies for this. And it got to the point where I was addicted to pain killers or NyQuil just to fall asleep, until I came across what CBD did for me.”

How You Consume Cannabis According To Your Zodiac

How You Consume Cannabis According To Your Zodiac

Your birthday can say a lot about you, including your cannabis preferences. Scorps use it mainly for sex, while Libras are very hot and cold with the stuff. Here’s what your sign says about you (we assume).

Whether you believe in it or not, astrology is enjoying yet another wave of popularity as the witches of the world find each other (and fans) via social media. It’s the source of endless jokes, memes, and lengthy discussions about whether or not Pisces can have Big Dick Energy or if Libras will ever be less clingy when they find love or if Scorpios will ever not be deeply emotional.  

Each sign is pretty different, which is why we’re speculating via the stars how each consumes cannabis.

Aries March 21-April 19

Aries are leaders and creative organizers. This is the thoughtful host or hostess who maybe isn’t a big smoker, but will always have some joints at a party or on hand for a traveling friend. Aries will abstain unless it’s the perfect pull of the perfect joint (maybe ones wrapped in Shine Papers). Don’t you dare hand them the dregs of an almost gone roach.

Taurus April 20-May 20

Taurus live for indulgences like cannabis, and are stable creatures. This drive for comfort backed by hard work leads them to choose a reliable pipe or sweet bubbler from MJ Arsenal to get the right amount of relaxation on after a hard day’s work.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XRSB1HKOT/

Gemini May 21-June 20

Getting down with both of their persona is a must, so Gemini switch between vaping out of a bougie Pax 3 to twisting up old school chubby toothpick joints, like those out of a D.A.R.E. Commercial. You’ll be cackling after smoking with a Gemini, so skip your ab workout that day.

Cancer June 21-July 22

Artistic Cancer are homebodies who crave repetitive structure that habitual cannabis can provide. As potheads, you’ll find a Cancer sucking away at a Double Barrel vape pen while alternating a Juul, the cannabis/tobacco balance in digital form must be optimal for peak performance.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BdaRk6FAZrE/?hl=en

Leo July 23-August 22

Because brash Leos love to boost the class factor, you’d likely see one enjoying a high-end table piece like those of My Bud Vase before they launch out into the social butterfly ether.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FZi57JYY0/

Virgo August 23-September 22

Confident and riotously funny, Virgo come stacked with Raw wrapped spliffs, the European kind, and though the tobacco isn’t welcome to the rest of us, if it keeps the perfectionist Virgo from keeling over from our insolence, I back it. Of course, some hot Virgo’s love a chocolate edible once in a while.

Libra September 23-October 22

Dreamy Libras get very hot and cold with cannabis. When they’re in the mood to flit and fleet from leaf to leaf, you can find them eating half a loaf of infused banana bread and accidentally being stoned in inappropriate places. It’s quite lovable and hilarious.

Scorpio October 23-November 21

Passionate Scorps barely touch the stuff, except to get better experiences in the sack. Why not get literal with some of Caitlin Rose Sweet’s super chic and delightfully graphic ceramics?

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl1HXV6lA92/?hl=en

Sagittarius November 22-December 21

Sag’s will be the most likely to try THC Epsom Salts to wash away all those glorious sins. Sagittarius party hard and are too busy working to smoke on the daily, but those periodic indulgences will be just that, indulgent as a bath.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm18m2ZHk36/?hl=en

Capricorn December 22-January 19

Capricorn is sick of your shit, and definitely sick of both states that make homegrows illegal and high prices at dispensaries. They will be the first to invest in a Seedo because technology is more fun than socialization.  

https://www.instagram.com/p/BhzMdekgOlN/?hl=en

Aquarius Jan 20-Feb 18

Aquarius, like many late wheel zodiacs are either super into weed or completely ambivalent. When an Aquarius is hooked, they’re going to be big on dabs, bongs, hemp wraps, anything supersized.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn34n9LBcOq/?hl=en

Pisces February 19-March 20

Just like their previous sign and frequent friend Aquarius, Pisces are all-or-nothing cannabis users. The cannabis inclined Pisces will be so committed that you can likely find them intermittently smoking, vaping, or eating edibles, and even slathering their entire body in topicals like those from Whoopi and Maya to deal with illnesses real and imagined.

How America’s First Cannabis Lounge Is Already A Game Changer

How America’s First Cannabis Lounge Is Already A Game Changer

Lowell Café in California could reshape trends around social lifestyles in the country, one meal at a time.

In the private event world of cannabis tourism, marijuana-infused dinners have blossomed over the past several years. Utilizing careful dosing and culinary techniques that allow participants to enjoy psychoactive effects without forgoing taste, these dinners have showcased the potential of combining high-quality food with cannabis. Unfortunately, most Americans couldn’t enjoy that high-end fusion without forking over a hefty sum. Until now, that is.

This week Lowell Farms opened the first cannabis lounge in California, “serving farm fresh food, coffee, juice, and cannabis daily,” according to the company’s website. Not only is Lowell Café the first legal cannabis lounge in California, it’s the first legal lounge in America, allowing diners to openly consume marijuana on the premises as they enjoy their meals.

“We have families reaching out wanting to bring their kids or grandparents and high school groups of friends flying from all over the world,” restaurant director Kevin Brady told the Los Angeles Times. “I feel like we’re Disney World.”

There’s a catch, of course. Due to restrictive West Hollywood laws, a cannabis lounge can either be an establishment that serves marijuana-infused foods, or a place where customers can openly smokes, vape, dab, and consume cannabis products. In addition, no alcohol will be served at Lowell Café—though mocktails, juices, and teas will be served. Customers can purchase all the marijuana goods they need on site, but will receive two separate bills at checkout—one for the food (payable by cash or card), and one for the cannabis (cash only). Those who bring their own weed will pay a $20 convenience charge.

But Lowell Café’s coolest invention is something they’re calling a “flower host.” Akin to a sommelier, a flower host will present different cannabis pairing options with your meals—advising you which marijuana strains and products you should consume alongside your dishes.  Your flower host can even roll you a joint on spot with a weed of your choosing.

“Cannabis contains aromatic compounds that occur naturally in different types of flower, creating unique aromas and flavors,” Brady told Eater. “Pairing these aromas and flavors, in addition to the enhancing effects of cannabis, allows chef [Andrea] Drummer to pair a truly unique experience that we can share socially with our guests.”

Lowell Café will be an experiment in many ways and indicate the future of cannabis lounges in others. Whether Americans begin gathering at social places to consume cannabis like they do alcohol could reshape the texture of social lifestyles. We might soon see a future where hitting up a cannabis lounge is as commonplace as hitting a bar. What a world that’d be.

5 Convenient Uses For Your Old Tech

Getting rid of old tech is complicated, with many stores and organizations making a lot of demands before they accept your product. Here’s how you can repurpose your old devices.

If you’re dumb like me, it’s really hard to sell used stuff. Although there have never been more outlets for getting rid of your old tech, there’s always that voice in the back of your head that reminds you of all you could do with that useless piece of junk. What if your phone breaks and you need an emergency spare? What if you need parts to build something great?

With each passing year technology developments improve and devices like phones, tablets and laptops grow much more dated. It’s fairly common to have a couple of these laying around in your house. Here are five things you can do with them:

Transform it into a digital photo frame

No one takes the time to print pictures anymore, which is why someone created digital picture frames. But they’re kind of pricey and look like a plain tablet. Although you can transform any device into a digital photo frame, an old tablet works best for purely aesthetic concerns. Clean it up, place it on a cheap stand, plug it into power, hide the cable and connect it to the Cloud. Both Android and Apple devices allow you to create slideshows, allowing you to start from any picture in your library or to have the device navigate within a specific folder.

Use it as your family planner

Leave any old device at home and use it as a family planner, letting everyone know who’s turn it is to do the dishes, complete chores, or use as a reminder for important events. If you place this device on the kitchen, you can also use it as a cookbook, to play music and podcasts when cooking or for adding items to your grocery list.

Recycle it

Instead of letting your old tech collect dust, you can recycle it. This process requires a bit of effort from you, but it is the most responsible thing to do. Call2Recycle is a great option, providing drop off locations where you can donate rechargeable batteries and old cellphones. In order to find a spot near you just enter your zip code at their website, Call2Recycle.org.

Use it as your exclusive e-reader

Some people like to have different devices with specific functions, like a device that’s exclusively for music or another that’s just for reading. Download all the reading apps you need on your old device and take it with you, allowing you to read without distractions and social media temptations.

Donate it

If you fail at everything else, you can always donate it, which is pretty nice. Dell Reconnect is a partnership between Dell and Goodwill that accepts all computers, no matter their state. You can drop off the device at participating Goodwill stores around the country. AmericanCellPhoneDrive.org is a great option for recycling cellphones, accepting all brands and refurbishing or recycling them responsibly.

4 Tips To Avoid Fake Vape Cartridges

The string of diseases associated with vape pens has got users alarmed. Here’s what you can do to stay safe and minimize risks.

It’s been a crazy month for vape smokers. The CDC announced that there’s a lung injury outbreak associated with vaping, which has injured over 800 people and caused 12 deaths across multiple states. It’s an alarming set of statistics that have prompted rash decisions, with states outright banning vape products. With so much misinformation flying around, the least you can do is ensure that the product you’re vaping is legitimate.

Although there’s no foolproof method of protecting yourself against a tarnished product (this can happen to legitimate companies) there are many ways of cutting your risks.

Here are four tips that will help you stay safe.

Only purchase licensed products

If you stay away from the black market you’re eliminating exposing yourself to poor cartridges. Purchasing products from licensed sources guarantees that the cannabis used goes through strict testing. It’s also important to highlight that this vaping crisis has demonstrated no connections to cannabis. For the moment, there’s no immediate risk.

Watch out for ripoffs

Right now is not the time to experiment with strange products with too good to be true prices. It’s safer to spend some money and preserve your health. Buy certified products from dispensaries that have the appropriate licenses. Check the package of the cartridge and look for packaging date, lot number, batch number and date of manufacture. These details might not protect you completely, but they ensure that what you’re buying is legitimate.

Do your research

If you don’t live in a state with legalized marijuana, be careful with your purchases and do some research. Look up marijuana communities online and see what products people recommend. If you can get your hands on licensed products learn about brands and avoid experimenting. Look for brands that have been around for a couple of years, that are trusted by large amounts of people and that have an up to date presence on social media.

Quit vaping for a while

If you’re really concerned about this vape crisis, you can switch temporarily to smoking flower or consuming edibles, rosin or sift. Although vaping is extremely comfortable and discreet, it’s okay if your nerves are a little rattled. Luckily, there’s a lot of other cannabis options.

Adele Reportedly Dating Rapper Skepta After Filing For Divorce From Husband; Justin Bieber’s Ex Attends His Wedding

Adele has found love again six months after announcing split from husband; Justin Bieber invited his ex to his wedding yesterday and she Instagrammed about it.

Adele Reportedly Dating Rapper Skepta After Filing For Divorce From Husband

Via iHeart Radio:

Adele has reportedly found romance with rapper Skepta.

Six months after announcing her separation from estranged husband Simon Konecki, the “Hello” musician has been spending a lot of time with the 37-year-old grime star, The Sun reported Monday (September 30). “Adele and Skepta have been there for each other a lot after both their relationships split up. They have a close bond and there’s definitely a special connection,” an insider told the publication.

The news comes weeks after Adele filed for divorce from Konecki.

Skepta, whose real name is Joseph Adenuga Jr., also hails from Adele’s native Tottenham, North London. Less than two weeks ago, the 31-year-old songbird supposedly appeared at the “Greaze Mode” artist’s birthday party at the Crystal Maze experience in London. “They’re spending more and more time together,” the source added. “Some of their friends are hoping and predicting they could end up being a great couple one day.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLFtiSnhZM/

Both stars are parents: Adele has a son, Angelo, 6, with Konecki, and Skepta became a father last November. Per the source, “They are both private about their love lives and they are both committed to their children first and foremost as well.”

Did we also mention the pair have been longtime friends?

“Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going,” he once told ES Magazine in 2016. That same year, the “All I Ask” singer celebrated Skepta’s Mercury Prize win by posting a photo of him on her Instagram page captioned “Tottenham Boy” along with a heart emoji.

“She gassed me up. One day I was just chilling and she [tweeted] a picture that said ‘Tottenham boy’ and she’s from Tottenham as well,” he told IBTimes UK of her post. “I was actually going to quit music that day, that was one of the sickest things ever. She’s like the lady of Tottenham.”

Justin Bieber’s Ex Attends His Wedding to Hailey Baldwin

Via People:

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin‘s sunset South Carolina wedding boasted an impressive guest list that included the singer’s first-ever girlfriend, Caitlin Beadles.

Beadles, 25, documented the festivities on her Instagram Story, which show her raving over “gluten-free” cornbread at what appears to be the couple’s rehearsal dinner.

Beadles, who is the founder of Caitlin’s Vine of Bravery Dog Rescue, also shared a shot of herself and her brother Christian Beadles from the celebration.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EUPsDCe6M/

For the special occasion, Beadles wore a soft pink lace dress and nude sandal heels while her brother opted for a navy blue blazer paired with tan trousers and sneakers.

Bieber, 25, and Beadles dated for one year, according to E! News, after meeting in 2008. The pair have remained friends ever since as Bieber even spent Thanksgiving with Beadles and her family in 2017.

Bieber and Baldwin, 22, officially tied the knot — for the second time — Monday evening at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, PEOPLE confirmed.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B3EfGVGHiBA

The couple, who first got married in a New York City courthouse last year, said their “I Do’s” in front of 154 guests — including models Kendall Jenner, Camila Morrone and Joan Smalls, as well as Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun — at Somerset Chapel, a source confirmed to PEOPLE.

Just before the wedding, planned by Mindy Weiss, guests enjoyed pre-ceremony cocktails at the Inn lobby lounge.

5 Cannabis Body Butters That Help Winter Skin Issues

A great way to smooth out any skin issues standing in the way of your chilly yet cheery days ahead is to use a cannabis infused body butter.

It’s hard enough transitioning from the warm months of summer to the cold days of fall and winter. But add to that dry flakey elbows, itchy knees, and moisture deprived skin from just about everywhere else on your body, and you may start forgetting that winter is supposed to be idyllic: comfortable, cozy, seasonally uplifted and perhaps even jolly. An easy way to ensure your skin matches your spirit is by using a cannabis infused body butter.

Body butters are already a luxurious way to combat dry skin, but adding the anti-inflammatory properties of THC, CBD or a combination thereof is the cherry on top. Plus, the following companies are small batch, ecologically aware, source wonderful ingredients, and make their creams with love and dignity.

Luxury Unisex Ultra Strength Body Lotion

Lord Jones’ extra strength, high CBD, full spectrum body lotion is cooling on contact as well as being fast absorbing and a lifesaver for skin conditions. It penetrates deep and carries the scents of Lord Jones’ signature fragrance: fresh with notes of sage, mint and green citrus. This is definitely a unisex smell and has neutral packaging that edges on the luxury look, with majestic elk holding up information on the product and adorning the packaging and bottle.

Sanjay Gupta Shared Marijuana And Autism Update

Sanjay Gupta Shared Marijuana And Autism Update

Leading marijuana researchers now believe a cannabis compound could treat autism symptoms.

When Dr. Sanjay Gupta unveiled his investigative series on marijuana in 2013, he legitimized the plant’s therapeutic and medical capabilities in the mainstream. Nowhere was this more prominent than Gupta’s focus on how cannabis treats seizures, specifically in children. He introduced the world to Charlotte’s Web, a popular CBD oil for patients that drastically reduced the number of seizures patients like Charlotte Figi experienced. As a 3-year-old, she had 300 seizures a week; by taking Charlotte’s Web she only had two to three seizures a month while also eliminating all other anti-seizure pharmaceuticals.

RELATED: What Scientists Are Saying About The CBD Boom

In his latest report, “Weed 5: The CBD Craze,” Gupta directly examined the wellness trend he had a hand in starting. “We are in an age of wisdom, but also an age of foolishness,” he declared. The foolishness because “CBD has been hijacked by unscrupulous actors peddling crooked, corrupt and contaminated products.” But the wisdom comes from the work done by GW Pharmaceuticals.

Gupta was given exclusive access to a GW Pharmaceuticals during his report, which included a clinical trial on cannabidivarin, a marijuana compound more commonly known as CBDV. The study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, focused on the effects CBDV could have on the “irritability and repetitive behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder.” Similar to CBD, CBDV is non-psychoactive and does not cause users to get “high.”

GW Pharmaceuticals investigated the effects CBDV could have following the success of its cannabis-based medicine Epidiolex had in treating epilepsy.

“When you look at these—loss of cognitive function, poor socializing skills, poor language skills—what you’re looking at is a phenotype very similar to autism,” GW founder Dr. Geoffrey Guy told Gupta. “In my mind, epilepsy and autism-type presentations are on the same continuum.”

Due to the range and variety of symptoms seen in autism spectrum disorders, some experts warn caution in pinning hopes to CBDV. Currently, there is no known cure for autism. Dr. Eric Hollander, the lead scientist on the trial, has more than 30 years of experience researching autism spectrum disorder. Like Dr. Guy, he believes autism and epilepsy could share underlying causes, and will focus his research on treating the associated symptoms caused by autism.

“In some of the animal models that are similar to autism, it was found that CBDV had important effects on social functioning, on decreasing seizures, on increasing cognitive function, and in reducing compulsive or repetitive behavior,” Hollander said. “So for that reason, we wanted to apply that to autism.”

That said, don’t expect results anytime soon. The double-blind clinical trial won’t conclude until June 2021, with results finalized by September 2021.
