Defense Bill Amendment Removed CBD and Hemp From Prohibition 3 Years AGO

Defense Bill Amendment Removed DOD CBD – Hemp Prohibition 3 Years Ago

Washington, DC—Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02), a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee,

secured the amendment to the annual national defense bill that would ensure that the U.S. Department of Defense

may not prohibit the possession, use, or consumption of hemp products — in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local law — by servicemembers, back 3 years ago.

S he joined Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY-10), Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, in introducing H.R.3884, the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act.

The bill was passed by the committee in November 2019. The bill outlined sweeping reforms, including decriminalizing marijuana, expunging prior convictions, authorizing a tax on its sale which would be reinvested in communities that have been harmed by the federal marijuana prohibition, and ensuring minority communities are equitably engaged in the cannabis economy.

This would apply to hemp that meets the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 definition (amended by the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018).

The Gabbard amendment was included in the final version of the bill which passed, 295-125, and now goes to the Senate for consideration.

“There is great research being done around hemp, resulting in new products coming to market that are proven to help with ailments like insomnia, inflammation, chronic pain, epilepsy, Traumatic Brain Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress and more. Hemp products provide a form of treatment that serves as an alternative option for those who would rather pursue natural remedies rather than prescription drugs.

This amendment passed with strong bipartisan support, ensuring our servicemembers have access to the same over-the-counter products that Americans all across the country benefit from today,” said Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

The 2018 Farm Bill, known as the Agricultural Improvement Act, legalized hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) and derivatives of cannabis with extremely low concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis). Currently, many over-the-counter products are sold that meet these parameters.

December 2018 – The Farm Bill Legalized Hemp

Background: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has long called for sensible marijuana policies as part of her ongoing commitment to common sense criminal justice reform.

She introduced bipartisan legislation with Rep. Don Young (AK-at large) — the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act (H.R. 1588) and the Marijuana Data Collection Act (H.R. 1587). H.R. 1588 would remove marijuana from the federal controlled substances list. H.R. 1587 would direct the National Academy of Sciences to study the effects of state legalized medicinal and adult-use marijuana programs from a variety of perspectives, including state revenues, public health, substance abuse and opioids, criminal justice, and employment.

She has called for closing the gaps between federal and state law to resolve current contradictions and provide legally abiding marijuana businesses with clear access to financial services.

She joined several of her colleagues to introduce the bipartisan Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act (H.R.1595) in March 2019, which was passed by the House in September 2019. The bill would help prevent federal banking regulators from penalizing depository institutions for providing banking services to a legitimate marijuana-related business.

She joined Rep. Jerry Nadler (NY-10), Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, in introducing H.R.3884, the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act.

She is a cosponsor of H.R.1456, the Marijuana Justice Act, to reform unjust federal marijuana laws and empower minority communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the failed War on Drugs. And, to protect veterans engaged in the state-legalized cannabis industry, Rep. Gabbard sent a letter to VA Secretary Robert Wilkie in June 2019 to demand a correction of the VA’s denial of loan guarantee benefits to these veterans.

About Rep. Tulsi Gabbard: Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is serving her fourth term in the United States House representing Hawai‘i’s Second District, and serves on the House Armed Services and Financial Services Committees. She previously served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee.

She was elected to the Honolulu City Council in 2010, and prior to that at age 21, was elected to the Hawaii State Legislature in 2002, becoming the youngest person ever elected in the state.

Tulsi Gabbard has served in the Hawaii Army National Guard for over 17 years, is a veteran of two Middle East deployments, and continues to serve as a Major.

Planting The Seeds of CDB . . .

An entire industry is being built around cannabidiol, or CBD,

one of the many chemical constituents of the cannabis plant.

A message from the Founder of “Inspirational Technologies

Inspirational Technologies – Steven Smith 2021 In this Blog, “Planting the Seeds of CBD . . .”, we wish to Inspire those who are still waiting for the process of “Legitimizing the Claims of CBD” and “MOVE the CHAINS” forward in the game of CBD. We have had patience, waited on government regulators and Pilot Hemp Programs to give framework to the farmers, cultivators and processing plants. Thank you for your participation, Steven M Smith, Owner/Founder, Inspirational Technologies.

Advocates of the compound say it confers all sorts of health benefits,

from mitigating the symptoms of depression and anxiety to treating Glaucoma,

It’s cropping up in protein powders, bath salts, makeup and even jelly beans.

Medical Advisory Groups for Corporate Subsidiaries are critical for US FDA CBD Compliance

But scientists are still unsure of exactly what the benefits — and pitfalls — of CBD are.

“Society has jumped way ahead of the science on this,” said Margaret Haney,

a professor of neurobiology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York.

Reported benefits have mostly been anecdotal, or they have come from studies involving animal models.

CBD isn’t well understood, nor have there been sufficient studies done in humans, she said.

Cannabis plants produce a group of chemical compounds called cannabinoids.

The best-known are tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC

(the so-called psychoactive component of the plant that’s associated with the marijuana “high”),

and CBD (a non-intoxicating component of the plant that doesn’t produce a high),

Hemp. Recently, Legal to grow and process for CDB.

Here’s what we do know: CBD can help treat some types of pediatric seizures.

Last year, the FDA approved GW Pharmaceuticals PLC’s Epidiolex for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare forms of epilepsy in patients two years of age and older.

But, to get to that point, GW Pharmaceuticals had to go through a long and rigorous drug-approval process to show the drug’s safety and efficacy through clinical trials.

T his hasn’t been done with CBD for any other indication, until now.

While it’s true that CBD has shown promise in pre-clinical and animal trials in addressing a number of issues such as pain, anxiety, neuroinflammation and substance-use disorder,

there’s still not nearly enough peer-reviewed research available, said Ziva Cooper, research director of the Cannabis Research Initiative at the University of California, Los Angeles.

To truly determine the effects of CBD in humans, many further studies need to be done — studies with humans, she said. “Overall, we have very little real data on the therapeutic effects of cannabidiol,” she said.

As for those CBD-based skin products that are popping up on shelves and online, Columbia University’s Haney said she remains skeptical of their marketed benefits.

Many are diluted. It’s a question of both dosage and absorption, she said. “We have no idea how much CBD you would need to rub on your skin for it to have some kind of medical effect,” she said.

The amount of CBD in a lot of marketed products — even ones that are meant to be taken orally — is so small that we can not make any therapeutic measures for the person using it, said UCLA’s Cooper.

In the few studies that have involved humans, doses were in the hundreds of milligrams, but most CBD-infused products contain much less than that,

which the company says can be used as a daily supplement and help “promote a calm sense of well-being,” it also notes on its website that such statements “have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.”

CBD advocates were hoping laws around the compound might loosen up — or at least become clearer — after President Donald Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill.

The bill legalized hemp, a variety of the cannabis plant that contains no more than 0.3% THC.

But regulation of CBD, whether derived from hemp or not, is still largely under the FDA’s jurisdiction.

Since CBD is technically an active ingredient in an FDA-approved drug,

companies are not allowed to add it to food or drinks sold across state lines or to sell it as a dietary supplement.

Companies are, however, allowed to put the compound into beauty and skin-care products, as cosmetics are not subject to premarket approval by the FDA.

That could explain why drugstore chains like CVS and Walgreens aren’t worried about introducing CBD-infused topical products in their stores.

“People shouldn’t confuse availability with legality,” said former FDA regulatory counsel Jonathan Havens.

The agency has cracked down on unfounded claims, but it has limited resources and can’t get to everyone, so it is focusing mostly on companies making blatant health claims about their products, Havens said.

The FDA recently sent warning letters to Advanced Spine and Pain LLC, Nutra Pure LLC and PotNetwork Holdings,

saying the companies violated federal law by advertising their CBD-containing products as potential treatments for ailments including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis and more.

“The FDA wants to protect consumers. The last thing it wants is companies out there marketing CBD products and claiming health benefits without any clinical rese arch to validate that,”

said Rob DiPisa, co-chair of the Cannabis Law Group at law firm Cole Schotz.

US FDA Fight to Regulate Cannabis (Hemp) More Research is Needed

At the same time, requiring anyone who wants to put a CBD-containing food or beverage on the market to go through the clinical-trial process would “chill the whole CBD market,” he said.

The FDA is aware of the public’s interest in CBD. Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb put out a statement outlining steps to figure out a framework to lawfully market cannabis

and cannabis-derived products, including public hearings and formed an internal working group to look into the issue.

DiPisa said he hopes the hearings last May 2021 will provide more clarity for him and his clients.

“Everyone is running blind right now,” he said.
