Florida Black Farmers Still Awaiting

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – September 23, 2021

The Department of Health

is under fire because it has still not issued a medical marijuana license to a Black farmer.

 

 

Lawmakers grilled the department to find out what is responsible for the delay on Thursday.

When the Legislature passed its medical marijuana law in 2017,

one grower’s license was reserved for a Black farmer.

 

“So that the medical marijuana licenses in our state would have equity,”

said state Sen. Darryl Rouson.

Rouson called the Department of Health before the Senate Agriculture Committee

to explain why the Black farmer’s license isn’t among the 22 that have already been issued.

 

“Years have passed since this Legislature spoke,” said Rouson.

The department blamed the delay on a lawsuit challenging

the state’s seed-to-sale requirement for license holders.

The state Supreme Court finally ruled in the state’s favor in May.

Department of Agriculture (USDA)

 

“We are working quickly and anticipate moving forward with the Pigford MMTC licensing process in the coming weeks,”

said Christopher Ferguson, director of the Office of Medical Marijuana Use.

Meanwhile, The Florida Black Farmers Wait.

Current State Of CBD and Cosmetics in the USA

Watching Florida's Stop Light on Marijuana

Although the current state of regulation for CBD is in-flux for supplement and food products, the outlook is pretty good for beauty, as long as companies are careful about where they source the CBD, otherwise adhere to the regulations governing the marketing of cosmetic products, and limit sales to states where the sale of such products is legal.

While CBD Infused Beverages and Food Remains with the FDA. Cosmetic Use Is An Open Market Soon To Be Saturated.

  CBD, or Cannabidiol, is one of many cannabinoids found in the plant species Cannabis sativa L., which, surprising to many, includes marijuana and hemp.

December 2018 – The Farm Bill Legalized Hemp

The 2018 Farm Bill defines hemp as any part of the plant Cannabis sativa L. with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis, and removes hemp and hemp derivatives from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. CBD derived from a marijuana plant, or from a hemp plant with a THC concentration of greater than 0.3%, fall outside the statutory definition of hemp and therefore remain controlled substances. In order to legally market beauty products containing CBD, companies must be able to establish that the ingredient is derived from a hemp plant, grown by a licensed grower, and contains 0.3% or less THC. The United States Department of Agriculture, the regulatory agency responsible for implementing the 2018 Farm Bill, issued a legal opinion confirming that states may not prohibit the interstate transportation of hemp or hemp derived products that satisfy these requirements.

Department of Agriculture (USDA)

The Farm Bill does not, however, supplant the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (“Act”). Under the Act, companies that want to market beauty products containing CBD cannot claim the products, or the CBD, is intended to affect the structure or function of the body, or otherwise treat, mitigate, or prevent a disease. In addition to these Federal regulatory requirements, companies must also adhere to the laws of individual states, which have the right to restrict or limit the sale of CBD products within their jurisdictions. Thus, before shipping a CBD beauty product, companies should confirm the sale of such products is legal in the target state.

Nikki Fried -Florida Agriculture Commissioner 2021

  Why is it crucial for CBD brands and ingredients providers to be completely up to date on the fast-changing regulations? The fast-changing regulations really have to do with growing and licensing requirements for hemp growers. The regulation of what constitutes legal hemp is pretty much set by the 2018 Farm Bill. Since CBD derived from hemp is the only ingredient that has been legalized by the Bill, it is critical for companies and ingredient suppliers to be sure (1) the hemp is sourced from a licensed grower, and (2) the THC content is 0.3% or lower.

3rd Party Certificates Of Analysis (COA) determine what is in the sample tested. Look for the Good and the Bad. *Pesticides, Heavy Metal or Added Toxins. COA’s are a necessity.

  Products that fail to meet these two requirements fall outside the statutory definition of hemp, fall within the definition of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act, and are thus illegal.

Florida Hemp

Companies interested in marketing and selling CBD cosmetic products will gain insights into the regulatory landscape surrounding the marketing of such products, and in particular, have an understanding of the FDA’s and FTC’s current thinking and approach to regulating the products. Research strategies companies can follow to avoid attracting the attention of regulators and consumer lawyers.   What is the number one question that CBD beauty professionals have? There are really two questions to answer. The first is can we legally sell cosmetics containing CBD? The second question is what can I do to protect the company from claims arising from the sale of CBD beauty products. As noted in response to question 1) above, the question of legality is somewhat straightforward. The question of protection is more complex, and involves the need contract with vendors, secure insurance coverage, and consider a myriad of other business considerations.

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?”

Koch sees marijuana legalization as the beginning of the end of the federal war on drugs

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.

COA’S – Don’t Pay Without the COA for Your CDB

What is a certificate of analysis?

A certificate of analysis (COA) is a lab report on the chemical make-up (e.g., contents) of a product. In the context of Industrial Hemp extracts, the COA reports on the cannabinoid, terpene, and contaminant profile of CBD products. COA’s are used to verify that the contents of the product are matched to how it is advertised. These reports are important for verifying that hemp extracts have less than 0.3% THC by weight, as determined by the definition of Industrial Hemp in the law. OUR Premium, THC-Free products are supported by COA’s such as the one shown below, which indicate ‘non-detect’ levels of THC. Also, tests are carried out to check for dangerous compounds such as heavy metals or pesticides and reported in the certificate to ensure the safety of the consumers.

Why are COAs important? A study conducted in 2017 found that almost 70% of online CBD products are mislabeled, either having substantially more or less CBD than advertised. For nutraceutical applications, knowing the exact potency and ingredients is extremely important. For example, manufacturers could claim a CBD product contains no THC, or claim a certain potency in their product, but since there is little oversight, the opportunity to “fudge the numbers” is compounded. This could be a major issue for people who are choosing products without THC in order to avoid its psychoactive side effects or pass a drug test because of a job. In an unregulated industry, with new CBD companies popping up everywhere, it is difficult for customers to know exactly what they are paying for. Labeling alone is not reliable, especially when products are sold online to customers who do not fully understand the ins and outs of the industry. This is the reason COA’s are standard practice for reliable, law-abiding CBD manufacturers. They create transparency for consumers as well as regulators to clearly identify exactly what is and is not inside a given hemp extract.

How do I find the COA for my CBD product?

There are a few ways to find COAs. Most companies will include them on their website, or provide them to customers upon request. Make sure they are up to date and match the batch number listed on your product. Indiana, Texas, Utah, and Florida have passed state laws that require QR codes on all CBD products. Although other states have not yet passed similar laws, most CBD companies are transitioning to include QR codes on their packaging to increase transparency and make it easy for customers to find this information. Customers can use their phones to scan the code on the package and link directly to the COA specific to the product that the code is printed on.

How do I read a COA?

CBD hemp third party certificate of analysis COA for hempSmart 

Certificate Of Analysis (COA) Page 1 of 8 Be sure all pages are represented. This page shows company and product description.

The first thing you want to check on a COA is that the company who performed the lab test is not the same company who is selling the product. This is called a ‘third party’ test and it is to ensure transparency in the results. If it was only tested by the company selling the product, there could be bias in the report. *This description is specific to the example COA provided by this third-party lab. COAs may vary from lab to lab, but all of the elements described should be present, regardless of format. On the top left, there is information to identify the sample and batch which it came from. On the top right, the address and contact information of the company selling the product is listed. The QR code in the top center can be scanned by anyone to verify the authenticity of the report. It links to the lab that performed the analysis so consumers can cross check to make sure the COA was not fabricated.

The bottom half of the first page shows the cannabinoid profile of the sample, listing the cannabinoids which were detected as well as their concentration. This is probably the most important section of the COA because it tells consumers exactly which cannabinoids are present and at what potency. The ID column of the chart indicates which cannabinoids were tested for. D9-THC is the psychoactive component which must be lower than .3 weight % (middle column) in order for it to be legal. ‘ND’ stands for ‘non-detect’ meaning there was such a miniscule amount, if any, in the sample that the laboratory instruments could not detect it.

Essentially, this means it is not present in the product.

Our products which are all labeled THC-Free are tested to have ND levels of THC. This specific report is analyzing a CBD oil said to have no THC, which is reflected in this table. CBD, CBDV, and CBG were detected in the analysis and their concentration is reported in milligrams per gram of the product. This ‘Conc.’ column is the potency of the tested CBD oil, which should be compared to the CBD concentrations advertised on the label of the product.

On the right of the chart is a bar graph corresponding to the relative amounts of the various cannabinoids in the product sample.

Page 2 of this COA
Showing the Major and Minor Findings

THC-Free broad spectrum hemp oils should have CBD, other cannabinoids such as CBG or CBN, but non-detect levels of THC. Full spectrum hemp extracts should have many cannabinoids including D9-THC, as long as the THC weight % is below 0.3%. Heavy Metal Analysis hemp derived CBD oil third party certificate of analysis for pesticide analysis The heavy metal analysis chart indicates which metals were tested for with the chemical symbol and name. ‘Conc.’ is the concentration of the metal measured in the sample. ‘Units’ refers to the measurement size, in this case micrograms per kilogram (1,000,000,000 micrograms in 1 kilogram). MDL is the lower limit of detection for the lab instruments. ‘Use Limits’, the most important of which being ‘Ingestion’, is the amount determined by the state Department of Public Health and U.S. Pharmacopeia that is safe to ingest per day. In the case of this report, lead is the only metal detected and it is well below the allowed limit. 11 micrograms per kilogram were detected while the standardized safety limit is 1000. Pesticide Analysis hemp derived CBD oil third party certificate of analysis for pesticide analysis. 

Another report in the COA is the pesticide analysis, which lists a number of common pesticides tested for in the sample. The unit in this case is ‘ppb’ or parts per billion. LLD is the “lower limit of detection” based on each specific pesticide, and the ‘Limits’ column is the maximum amount allowed for consumption based on safety regulations established in the State of California (these values may vary slightly depending on the specific state or federal guidelines identified in the report). The ‘Status’ column indicates PASS if the sample is under the legal limit or NO PASS if the levels are above the limit. In this report, no pesticides were detected.

The terpene profile analysis shows which terpenes were detected in the sample and the relative amount of each by weight percent. Terpenes are what give hemp products their unique flavors and aromas. The variation in kind and abundance can give consumers information on how it may smell or taste.

Don’t Pay Without the COA

In an industry that is quickly expanding with limited regulation, it is extremely important that as a consumer, you know exactly what you are purchasing.

Certificates of analysis provide transparency and assurance to consumers so they can be confident in what they are buying.

Although COAs vary in appearance depending on the lab, the basic information presented in this article should be present on any third party

COA. Dates and product batch numbers should be listed so consumers can make sure that the report is up to date and specific to the batch that their product is from. The cannabinoid profile should match the product description, including the type of extract (broad spectrum, full spectrum, etc.) and potency of the product.

Heavy metal and pesticide analysis can be used to ensure that the hemp was grown safely and its extract is safe to consume.

 

Companies which do not provide up to date certificates of analysis should be avoided.

COA fraud also exists in the industry and precautions should be taken in order to make sure your COA has not been fabricated.
