HUGE News at the FDA!!! Just out a few minutes ago....Lets hope Trump's pick has an open mind to cannabis and it's cancer killing properties as PROVEN by OVER 50 years of reseach from Israel. Could this be the beginnings of hyper growth phase II as it applies to pharmaceutical grade cannabis and cancer treatments????
Hey, I'll be happy if the FDA just releases Federal level guidelines on CBD for now.
A cancer specialist from Houston has been tapped to take control of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is reviewing its CBD policy.
President Donald Trump on Friday picked Dr. Stephen Hahn of the MD Anderson Cancer Center to permanently lead the agency, pending congressional affirmation.
The 59-year-old oncologist would replace Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who stepped down in March.
Soon after Gottlieb’s departure, the FDA started a review of whether CBD should be allowed in foods and dietary supplements. The agency promised an update on the review to the public by late summer or early fall, though none has been made.
The FDA has said that CBD treatments are promising, but that more research needs to be done before federal authorities can allow them in foods and dietary supplement.
However, the FDA has left that position largely unenforced, leading to a proliferation of such products on store shelves.
