RE:RE:Pressure is mountingU dib't know what part of that statement suggested that I had a link to anything scientific or such!
I merely commented on what I have heard from people I know that buy cbd for pain and have shared that with me.
Because the US only recently passed some legislation to take the stranglehold off of studying cannabinoids on US soil. i expect that we will see more studies and scientific exploration for which I am excited because the whole pharma use benefit is kind of wild west, word of mouth by those that use the products or their cannabinoid guru expert at the shop where they buy.
What I know and believe is that all of those people that got certified medical access prescriptions and such wanted more than just safe and unadulterated pot and hemp and real doctors that studied the cannabinoid system of the human body, stepped up to supply legal access for these consumers before they began to allow adult rec use.
There are investigators studying and experimenting with pot and hemp and isolating powerful cannabinoids and terpenes and phytos that they are having great success with for pain, anxiety, seizures, sleep and more.
I have posted repeatedly about some of players that think there is a strain that curbs appetite and if you google it, it is fairly well documented.
I can see a whole line of success with that if they go the distance and put it through the normal pharma requirement steps to bring it home. Energy and well being too and possibly even vitamin boosters.
I didn't google Canada's search engines but there could be what you are looking for there because Canada built there marijuana legalization out of their pharma use which has always been the saving grace for legalization, especially for rec use for adults.
The people that I mentioned told me they were using cbd oil. Some cbd oils have thc also in small quantities so it could be that they are actually giving themselves a big enough dose that the thc gets them buzzed.
Hemp and pot are the same thing to me and definately need to be marketed as psychoactive and non-psychoactive because they both carry thc and cbd and a whole bunch more ingredients and consumers are going to have to know exactly what they are taking if they run the risk of losing jobs or driver's licenses for testing positive for thc use when they show up for work or drive their car.
Government and legislators have a lot of work to do to even get their heads wrapped around the important stuff and let the industry players figure out their sizes of containers and strengths that consumers will want.
Canopy has experimented with a couple of hundred skus from smokeable to creams for pain, to vapes, gummies and chocolate but what I think they have put most of their effort into is cannabinoid infused beverages which show a lot of potential to cross into the soft alcohol beverage territory and they have a great chance there because without alcohol they are very light in calories plus they don't give you a hangover.
I can imagine heading to my favorite bar or lounge and sipping a scotch or beer and switching to a thc or cbd infused for my aches and pains for which I have had success with this style beverage that helps loosen up knots in my back. Gummies work too but not as social as having a beverage or two with some friends.
