Billionaire – Charles Koch, On Why Now Is The Time For Marijuana Legalization

Billionaire Charles Koch On Why Cannabis Should Be Legal

Charles Koch The same devout libertarian known for spending a fortune on political causes is now being the same actively funding efforts to end federal marijuana prohibition.

Here’s why pro-pot advocates in both parties are high on his support.

Soon, Koch might be known as the billionaire who persuaded Republican and Democratic holdouts to legalize cannabis at the federal level.

“2022, Will Be Our Year To Watch For Legalization Interests To Grow” – Steven Smith, 1st Hemp USA News

Koch admits that he is not on the front lines fighting for legalization—Brian Hooks, the CEO of Stand Together (which Koch founded) and Koch Industries’ former longtime general counsel Mark Holden, and others, are doing the boots-on-the-ground work.

For far too long, drug policy has been mischaracterized as something that’s come from the fringes,” Hooks says “When in fact the majority of Americans, for a long time, have recognized that a new place for the system is wrong.”

Also, Valerie Jarrett, who was a senior advisor to President Obama, worked with Mark Holden on legislation to reduce mandatory minimum sentencing for nonviolent drug offenders.

The legislation garnered support of 80 senators, but Mitch McConnell, who was Senate Majority Leader at the time, blocked it from reaching the floor in 2016.

Two years later, under President Trump, The First Step Act passed. 

Jarrett says that the criminal justice reform would not have passed without Koch’s support.

“That’s how you get things done in Washington—it might mean you have strange bedfellows,” she says.

More than anything, Koch sees marijuana legalization as the beginning of the end of the federal war on drugs.

Here, the modern philosopher king looks to a 19th-century French

economist for wisdom. “For a law to be respected,” Koch says, paraphrasing Frédéric Bastiat, “it must be respectable.”

Market Based Management.”

The push for federal cannabis legalization has been growing slowly over the years, but now that several of the country’s biggest billionaires are on board, that dream may soon become a reality.

Charles Koch, the 85-year-old CEO of Koch Industries, is the latest multibillionaire to help fund the movement to end federal cannabis prohibition once and for all. In a recent interview with Forbes, Koch announced his support for a new plan to end federal weed prohibition by the end of this year. And to help that effort succeed, Koch is contributing $25 million of his $45 billion fortune.

It may come as some surprise to discover that Koch is an advocate of legalization, especially since the billionaire has already spent a fortune backing Republican politicians and lobbying for conservative legislation. Koch is a diehard libertarian, though, and fully opposes the idea that the government could lock someone away in jail just for smoking a joint or otherwise enjoying their own personal freedom.

“It should be the individual’s choice,” Koch said: ‘this’ is counterproductive. It ruins people’s lives, creates conflict in society and is anti-progress. The whole thing never made sense to me… Marijuana, as I understand it, is less addictive than alcohol.

However, it’s unclear whether the long-awaited federal legalization bill, a draft of which Sens. Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Ron Wyden introduced in July, can get the 10 Republican senators and all 50 Democratic senators needed to pass it. Schumer readily admits he doesn’t yet have the numbers and President Biden does not support legalization. For politicians on both sides of the aisle who still oppose cannabis, Koch has two questions:

“If you don’t like marijuana, or don’t like people doing that, and you have all these laws, how’s that working out for you?” he asks, before making his second point: “Marijuana, as I understand it, is less addictive than alcohol. So why is alcohol legal and marijuana isn’t?”

Koch admits that he is not on the front lines fighting for legalization—Brian Hooks, the CEO of Stand Together (which Koch founded) and Koch Industries’ former longtime general counsel Mark Holden, and others, are doing the boots-on-the-ground work.

So why is alcohol legal and marijuana isn’t?”

180 Life Sciences Corp. has selected a lead synthetic CBD analogue that is expected to move forward in clinical development.

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 28, 2021 180 Life Sciences Corp, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel drugs that fulfill unmet needs in inflammatory diseases, fibrosis and pain, announced today that it has selected a lead Synthetic CBD Analogue that is expected to move forward in clinical development for both inflammation and pain.

As part of a continuing collaboration since 1998 with the pioneer of cannabis chemistry, Raphi Mechoulam (Hebrew University, Jerusalem), Sir Marc Feldmann’s (the Company’s Co-Executive Chairman and Co-Founder) laboratory, and 180 Life Sciences’ scientists, identified the non-psychoactive CBD analogue as a lead molecule in the Company’s SCA platform.

The analog was selected based on a wide-ranging screen of derivatives of cannabidiol and cannabigerol made by Prof Mechoulam.

The Company believes that the analog appears to have (1) a novel composition of matter which would enable patent protection, (2) robust preclinical efficacy in several established mouse models for treating pain and inflammation in vivo , and (3) ease of scalability for future good manufacturing practice (GMP) manufacturing. Its safety profile is being explored in greater detail.

Dr. James Woody, 180 Life Sciences’ Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We believe that our lead compound HUM-217, a CBD derivative generated by cannabis chemistry pioneer Prof Raphael Mechoulam, meets all the criteria desirable to advance to clinical development. We look forward to continuing to pursue new therapeutics for one of the world’s largest drivers of disease, Inflammation.”

Prof Sir Marc Feldmann, 180 Life Sciences Executive Co-Chairman added, “It is a real pleasure to announce the progress that has been made, which we believe is a significant step forward towards the more effective use of pure synthetic cannabinoids in medicine. We look forward to continuing the development of these compounds in clinical trials.”

*About 180 Life Sciences Corp. 180 Life Sciences Corp. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel drugs that fulfill unmet needs in inflammatory diseases, fibrosis and pain by leveraging the combined expertise of luminaries in therapeutics from Oxford University, the Hebrew University and Stanford University. 180 Life Sciences is leading the research into solving one of the world’s biggest drivers of disease – inflammation. The Company is driving groundbreaking studies into clinical programs, which are seeking to develop novel drugs addressing separate areas of inflammation for which there are no effective therapies. The Company’s primary, most advanced platform is a novel program to treat fibrosis using anti-TNF (tumor necrosis factor) which is in the clinic.

Mask Research Shows EFFECTIVENESS against COVID.

Mask Filtration Studies

AS A PUBLIC SERVICE< INSPIRATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES PRESENTS THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH>

Public health experts recommend wearing face masks as tools to protect others from breathing potentially infectious particles.

At the request of University of North Carolina (UNC) Hospitals, EPA scientists are working to understand the effectiveness of masks to protect the wearer against the virus through a series of projects in collaboration with UNC researchers.

Researchers tested how well different masks and modifications filter out airborne salt particles, which are the same size as the smallest SARS-CoV-2 particles, but are not harmful.

 

Members of the research team wore the face coverings to do the testing themselves. “We were fortunate to have the lab already prepared for a different study before the COVID-19 pandemic set in, so we were able to pivot to help answer important questions UNC Hospitals and other researchers had about masks,” said Dr. James Samet, a research biologist and collaborator on the projects.

“We’ve performed hundreds of tests to provide the most useful information for decision makers and the public to help fight this virus.”

In one study, the researchers sought to determine whether alternatives to high-efficiency N95 masks reserved for health care workers could offer similar protection for hospital personnel in the event of shortages.

They tested the filtration ability of expired N95 masks, N95 masks that had been sterilized for reuse, and dozens of other face mask alternatives.

The results show that both expired N95 masks and sterilized N95 masks provided the same level of protection as new N95 masks with greater than 95 percent filtration.

Other alternatives provided less protection.

For example, surgical masks with ties provided 71.5 percent filtration, while surgical masks with ear loops only provided 38.1 percent.

Knowing the relative performance of alternatives to new N95 masks will help hospital administrators make evidence-based decisions to protect their staff.

In another study, the researchers examined the filtration ability of a variety of medical procedure masks, cloth masks and coverings recommended for the public.

They tested masks made from cotton, nylon, and other materials and in different styles, including masks with ear loops and ties.

They found that the effectiveness of the masks varied widely: a three-layer knitted cotton mask blocked an average of 26.5 percent of particles in the chamber, while a washed, two-layer woven nylon mask with a filter insert and metal nose bridge blocked 79 percent of particles on average.

Other masks scored somewhere in between.

They also tested a variety of modifications to improve the fit of commercially available medical procedure masks, like tightening ear loops, placing rubber bands over the top and bottom of the mask to reduce gaps, and placing a cut-out piece of nylon stocking over the mask to seal the gaps.

The filtration ability improved by 60.3 to 80.2 percent depending on the modification made.

As the fit of the medical procedure masks improved, so did their filtration efficiency.

In their study of masks recommended for the public, the researchers emphasize the importance of mask material and fit.

Their results indicate that not only are certain cloth masks effective at keeping out viral particles, but in many cases perform as well as or better than non-N95 medical masks.

Fabrics with multiple woven layers and reducing gaps provide substantially more particle filtration.

 

The team continues to explore mask performance with studies in progress on the effects of facial hair and face shape on mask fit.

 

The results of these projects will help the public and health care professionals choose mask options that provide the greatest level of protection.

This Review has been brought together to better inform our readers.

CBD Honey? No Really, May Bee the Solution.

“Hemp is a high pollen producing crop flowering during a period of floral resource scarcity and supports a diverse array of bees in the northeastern U.S. landscape.”

Search more images of Honey bee

In a new study published in the journal Environmental Entomology, researchers in the Department of Entomology at Cornell University in New York wondered if the growing legalization of cannabis for recreational, medical and industrial purposes is having any effect on bees.

See the source image

While marijuana is becoming in New York, industrial hemp is a fast-growing industry and the flowers are essentially the same. In a simple test (repeat visits to New York hemp farms and collected bees with nets), the researchers found 16 different bee species happily buzzing around the buds.

That variety highlights the “species richness” of Cannabis sativa when it comes to attracting bees.

“Industrial hemp offers a unique floral resource to bees in agricultural landscapes. Hemp flowers late in the summer releasing an abundance of pollen during a period of native and agricultural floral dearth. As a result, hemp pollen may offer a vital subsistence resource to bees at a point in the season when they are resource-limited, thereby helping to alleviate the pressures imposed by spatial and temporal variation in resource availability that is characteristic of simplified agricultural landscapes.”

The researchers weren’t as concerned about the growing creation of cannabis honey (we know you are – hang on) as much as how the dominance of cannabis would affect the bees.

It turns out that besides being attractive to a diversity of bees, cannabis blossoms in the late summer when most other plants are finished and bees are looking for pollen. By extending their season, cannabis may actually be helping to strengthen the bees to fight off the diseases that have decimated their populations in recent years. What about the cannabis honey?

Right.

Most products labeled cannabis honey are actually infused with CBD or THC.

While beekeepers claim the honey from bees specializing in cannabis flowers contains cannabinoids, it’s tough to differentiate between benefits that might come from them and the natural benefits of honey.

The Israeli cannabis technology company PhytoPharma International is offering pure, non-infused, highly bioavailable cannabis-derived honey called Pure Bee.

It’s available in two forms — non-intoxicating CBD Honey and psychoactive THC Honey – and is said to take effect in 10 minutes, much faster than most edible cannabis products.

So, do bees really get a buzz from marijuana? Unfortunately, no. Bees lack cannabinoid receptors and merely pass them on to their honey.

They buzz the buds merely for the fun and the exercise.

That’s just another good reason to be kind to bees.

“CBD is My Go To” say some 2020 Olympic Athletes

Effective Jan. 1, 2018, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) removed CBD from its list of prohibited substances.


The change allowed athletes to incorporate CBD into their training regimes for the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

 

Competitors in the delayed 2020 Summer Games, including softball outfielder Hayley McCleney and hurdler Devon Allen, are among those who utilized CBD products in the runup to the Olympic competition.

 

Olympic gold medalists Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird also use hemp-derived CBD for natural wellness solutions. “I use [CBD] right after training,” Rapinoe said. “It’s my go-to to calm me down after a hard training or game, as well as for sleep.”

 

The Summer Olympics were in Tokyo, Japan, through this past Sunday (National CBD Day in the USA) Aug. 8, 2021.

 

However, Japan’s strict anti-cannabis laws don’t permit athletes to take hemp products across international borders. “It’s quite frustrating that I can’t use them to compete on the world’s biggest stage,” Rapinoe said.

 

Attitudes about cannabis are shifting, and elite athletes are being more open about using cannabis to recover better, and stay on top of their game longer. U.S.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer

 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently introduced draft legislation to federally legalize cannabis.

 

The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA) addresses several areas where the Federal Government lags behind individual states in recognizing the benefits of cannabis.

 

Proposals in the bill include removing cannabis from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act.

 

Support for legalization of cannabis has been growing rapidly in the United States since 2012.

December 2018 – The Farm Bill Legalized Hemp

 

This is reflected globally in WADA’s policy change as well as nationally with the legalization of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill.

8 – 8 – 2021 Happy CBD Day! From Inspirational Technologies

About National CBD Day The CBD industry celebrates National CBD Day on August 8 every year.

 The CBD community continues to commemorate CBD Day, which focuses on educating and creating awareness about CBD among consumers through media coverage and social media.

Issues covered include ongoing studies, CBD uses, and its benefits. However, CBD brands also provide deals to enjoy during this holiday.

 

CBD is a derivative of hemp, which has faced its share of political problems, with leaders banning its use.

The hemp plant has been around for centuries, with growers using it for fiber and other things. However, it was until 2018 that hemp became legal federally.

The 2018 Farm Bill that became law recognizes hemp as legal if it has 0.3% THC or less.

The CBD industry continues to gain popularity as more people learn of CBD’s potential wellness benefits.

 

Today, you can utilize CBD in a variety of ways. Users can consume CBD in the form of oil or capsules or choose delicious gummies, which come in various mouth-watering flavors.

Brands also provide CBD topicals like creams and salves that offer targeted relief on affected body parts only.

However, preliminary research has shown CBD to help with pain, stress, anxiety, and inflammation, among other benefits. However, more studies are needed to provide additional data on CBD’s capability to alleviate such health conditions and others.
