Yes, each State is undergoing learning curves, however, Florida and Texas have put into place regulations to insure the public safety and quality, effective July 1st.

1) Who can take CBD?
CBD, and any cannabinoid intended to be ingested, is a food supplement. With any food or vitamin supplement, it is always best to consult a physician before making a change. This is especially true if there are current prescription medications in your life. We are not physicians and cannot diagnose, treat, or cure any symptoms. It is not recommended that pregnant or breastfeeding women ingest CBD as there is simply not enough research to determine the impact to the child. With that said, all mammals can see benefits from CBD as we all have the same endocannabinoid system that cannabinoids like CBD can support.
2) Different Types of CBD Products & serving sizes
There are many different ways to include CBD and other cannabinoids in your life.
CBD Rich Hemp Oil Extraction
This is the hemp oil directly extracted from the plant. There are many different methods used for extraction. We recommend products that are CO2 extracted as other methods can leave chemical residues. These are primarily sold in oral syringes that allow the customer to dispense, as supplements. We use Strawberry, Orange, Lemon and Mint Flavors for both 250mg and 500mg CBD per bottle. NO THC. Many other companies admit that they have dropped the ball on taste. Most of their customers complain of the taste and compare it to organic dirt. That would be quite unpleasant to consume.

CBD / Hemp Topicals
In addition to assisting with internal health and well being, cannabinoids are used for skin care as well. The raw oils can be used directly on the skin, but there are specifically formulated topicals that use carrier compounds and ingredients that will allow the cannabinoids to soak into the skin more quickly and they may add a great scent or smoother texture. Also, the use of CDB has been positive in the treatment of SUN Burn.

CBD for Pets
Hemp oil treatments aren’t only beneficial to humans. Many families have successfully used these tailored products for treating pain, stress, anxiety, and other symptoms in their pets.

3) CBD Brands
There are SO many CBD brands out there! We carry only those that we have tried ourselves, and had tested at a 3rd party lab. We want to make sure that all the good things (like an accurate amount of cannabinoids) are in there! And that all the not so good things (like psychotropic compounds, heavy metals, and pesticides) are not there.

All information contained in 3rd party testing should include all pages of information.

Hemp is a versatile variety of the cannabis plant, which can be used in various ways, from bio-fuel and industrial building materials to food and clothing. It does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), so its use or ingestion does not make one “high”. 

Apparently, it can also be used in the building of economical, sustainable, affordable, and secure housing. This progressive home was built by Dun Agro, a Dutch company specializing in “hemp concrete,” also referred to as “hempcrete”, which is made from hemp fibers, water, and glue.

The mixture is initially pressed together in a mold and then is left to dry for 3 months. Afterward, all the sections needed for the home are assembled.

The hemp houses take only a part of the time houses of that size generally take to be made, and at the same time, they are more durable and earthquake-resistant.

Dun Agro claims that the main benefit of buying a hemp house is the negative CO2 footprint, as hemp takes on 13,500 kilos of CO2 when it grows and it remains stored in the hempcrete.

The company put its hemp home on display on November 30th, 2018,  and plans to build and sell more hemp homes in the near future, estimating that it can produce up to 500 of them annually. 

Even though it is not the first one to attempt to build such a house, the company claims that it is the first one to have succeeded in doing so. 

Therefore, in times when numerous countries face housing crises, and so many people in the third world experience crises of resource deficits and financial issues when it comes to housing, this eco-friendly alternative company might offer a unique and invaluable solution, in the form of hemp houses!

A new study just out this week demonstrated that Full Spectrum CBD (without THC) the non-psychoactive cannabinoid mostly found in the Hemp plant and to a much, much lesser extent, the Marijuana plant, could assist those with opioid addiction.

When given to patients with heroin or opioid addiction, CBD helped them experience less cravings when compared to those participants given a placebo. The CBD was also effective in making patients feel more at ease and lessen anxiety symptoms.

“The specific effects of CBD on cue-induced drug craving and anxiety are particularly important in the development of addiction therapeutics because environmental cues are one of the strongest triggers for relapse and continued drug use,” the study’s lead researcher and the Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai director Yasmin Hurd said in a press release.

The study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 42 men with known heroin addictions, but weren’t taking methadone or buprenorphine, two substances known to treat opioid addiction. None of these men were taking heroin or opioids at the time, and randomly divided into three groups—one collective taking pills containing 800 mg CBD, another with 400 mg CBD pills, and finally a placebo group.

Over the course of two weeks, individuals were shown various images that would test their potential cravings and overall mood. Some media participants saw included nature videos while other pictures shown were associated with drug use, like needles or packets filled with substances resembling heroin. Afterwards, individuals were asked to rate their heroin cravings, as well as their anxiety levels.

The groups that had taken CBD reported less cravings and anxiety on average compared to the placebo group, though the difference between the two CBD groups was insignificant. In addition, more objective measurements like heart rate and cortisol levels in saliva (which can be used to evaluate acute stress) were also down.

“Our findings indicate that CBD holds significant promise for treating individuals with heroin use disorder.” Dr. Hurd said. A successful non-opioid medication would add significantly to the existing addiction medication toolbox to help reduce the growing death toll, enormous health care costs, and treatment limitations imposed by stringent government regulations amid this persistent opioid epidemic.

This Study comes on the heals of many States who have adopted their own Legalization procedures of their Individual State initiative process is July 1st, 2019 for many states, including Florida, as being finally ‘Legal’ in the eyes of legislative process and more importantly the people, who will benefit most.

While the authors caution this is an “exploratory” study, the scientific community remains encouraged by the results. To continue their findings, Dr. Hurd and her team will next explore CBD’s effects on the brain and the second will focus on more specific CBD formulas to treating opioid addiction.

You thought you had banking and credit card problems. The Cannabis Industry is finally gaining Positive Momentum.

The push for legislation that would allow banks to do business with cannabis companies without the risk of federal enforcement action is gaining momentum, and credit unions are playing a key role. 

The National Association of State Treasurers adopted a resolution on Friday that calls for “common-sense federal laws and regulations” for companies in states that have legalized cannabis for medical or recreational use that are forced to deal with large amounts of cash. 

“Cash-based systems are inefficient, expensive and opaque, making illicit activity more difficult to track and posing a significant risk to public safety by increasing the likelihood of violent crime,” the association said in its resolution. 

Because cannabis remains a Schedule I drug at the federal level, a classification that groups it with heroin, federally insured banks are unable to do business with companies for fear of being shut down, a situation that experts agree is hampering the development of the sector. 

As Canadian companies enjoy their first-mover status in the only G-7 country to fully legalize cannabis, U.S. companies have been unable to open bank accounts or tap capital markets to raise the funds needed to grow their businesses, and many have been forced to hire security companies, such as Brink’s Co., to guard cash piles. 

Ryan Donovan, chief advocacy officer for the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), said one out of every two cannabis businesses has been robbed. “We wouldn’t tolerate that in any other industry, and we shouldn’t tolerate it here,” he told MarketWatch. 

Credit unions have a core mission of serving the communities they operate in, and are keen to help the fledgling cannabis sector grow and thrive, but they, too, need a safe harbor or state exemption to fully participate, he said. CUNA has no official position on cannabis itself, but it would like to see one of two measures currently under consideration be adopted, said Donovan.

The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act is a bipartisan bill introduced in March that would protect banks and their employees from liability for federal prosecution when servicing cannabis companies. The bill is sponsored by Colorado Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter, Washington Democratic Rep. Denny Heck and two Ohio Republicans, Steve Stivers and Warren Davidson, and is supported by the banking sector, the National Association of Attorneys General and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, among others.

Separately, lawmakers are promoting the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States (STATES) Act, which gives each state the right to determine its own approach to cannabis legislation. That bill is backed by Elizabeth Warren and Cory Gardner, both Senate Democrats and presidential hopefuls and Attorney General William Barr has said it is his preferred solution.

“The bill that becomes law will be the better bill,” said Donovan. “Our interest is making sure that credit unions can service businesses that are legal at [the] state level, either through a safe harbor or a law that recognizes [a] state’s authority to decriminalize the substance.” 

The issue runs deeper than the challenge of cash management. Cannabis companies face a variety of obstacles, including in acquiring real estate, in land-title issues and in buying insurance coverage.

“Like any other business on Main Street, they have deposit needs, but also payroll, building supplies, expanding and getting into other lines of business, and payments,” said Rachel Pross, chief risk officer at Maps Credit Union in Salem, Ore., which has been working with cannabis companies since 2014. While companies are banned from using card networks, Maps can allow them to wire money and use online banking and pay with direct deposits.

Maps is not lending to the sector for now, although that would change if there’s a change in the federal treatment of cannabis companies. “It’s certainly something we would evaluate much more open-mindedly,” she said. 

Pross testified on behalf of CUNA at a Federal Committee in March, on her institution’s experience of banking and cannabis, emphasizing the risks to the community of cash-only businesses. 

Maps has received more than $500 million in cash deposits from cannabis companies in the last two years, she said. “That’s $500 million removed from Oregon’s sidewalks that used to be carried around in backpacks and shoe boxes by legitimate, legal business owners,” she said. 

Cannabis banking can be conducted safely and effectively, she argued. The Maps approach is to collect extensive records and to conduct criminal checks on account signers to ensure they are complying with all state laws and regulations. The credit union has invested in the infrastructure needed to monitor and maintain high-risk cannabis accounts and files quarterly suspicious-activity reports on any account suspected of engaging in illegal activities.

Financial institutions that decide not to bank for the sector are still at risk of serving those businesses, she told the hearing.

“Indirect connections are often difficult to identify and avoid because growers and retailers don’t operate in a vacuum,” she said. “Like any other industry, they work hand-in-hand with vendors and suppliers. These are Main Street businesses like the printing company that makes a business card, the landlord that rents office space, and even the utility company that provides water or electricity. Under the existing status quo, a credit union that does business with any one of these indirectly affiliated entities could unknowingly risk violating federal law.”

Most states that have legalized have done so through the ballot, demonstrating the growing public support for cannabis. It’s now up to lawmakers to devise the rules needed to protect them.
