Some say no to CBD Hemp because “whole plant,” but CBD Hemp is in fact “whole plant.” The entire plant is being used to make oil or other CBD products. There is some THC, it is not devoid completely. And as little as 0.15 mg THC is enough for neuroprotectant effect, enough from 1.5 teaspoons of common hempseed oil.

CO² extraction isn’t even whole plant, as it leaves some Cannabinoids behind. So while some feel there needs to be more THC in a CBD product, that is easy enough to add: it’s grown in every county in the country. But CBD is harder to get in today’s market, whether regulated or underground.

MS sufferer hits out

A Ramsey MHK's comments about cannabis and prescriptions have been labelled 'atrocious' by an MS sufferer.

This week, Leonard Singer said he was opposed to the drug being permitted for medicinal use because people who obtained it on prescription could just give it to other people. He does however, support the use of cannabis-derived, approved prescription drugs such as Sativex.

Di, who has MS uses Sativex spray to help alleviate some of the elements of her condition.

She rejects the argument that prescriptions could be sold or passed on, as a reason to oppose allowing the medicinal use of cannabis.

WASHINGTON (Nov. 4, 2015) - The O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown Law, in collaboration with the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), has received a $250,000 grant from the Open Philanthropy Project to help develop guidelines on how states, countries, and other jurisdictions that opt to legalize cannabis for medical or recreational purposes can create regulatory frameworks, consistent with the goals of legalization, that will work effectively to protect and promote the public health.

The doctor portrayed in the upcoming football movie ''Concussion'' is on the board of a company looking for a marijuana-based treatment for head injuries.

Bennet Omalu was recently named to the scientific advisory board of Kannalife Sciences, which has been developing marijuana-based products to treat the effects of concussions.

Omalu conducted the autopsy on former Steelers center Mike Webster that led to the discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE. The concussion-related disease has been found in the brains of a number of former NFL players during autopsies.

Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug with more than 181 million consumers worldwide. It is often considered to be primarily a male problem: men make up three quarters of users, consume larger quantities, and are twice as likely to become dependent. Fewer women use cannabis, do so in smaller amounts, and start smoking later than men.

Baffled and disappointed that nobody seems interested in your company’s story?

Your competitors seem to have all the luck, garnering features in blogs and magazines, while the best you get is a lousy mention in a longer article.

I’ve been working in PR for years now, and have a few things to share about why some pitches get results and most others fall flat.

According to Brookings Fellow John Hudak, it’s time for the federal government to recognize the serious policy risks born from limiting medical marijuana research. 

Among the cannabinoids in cannabis, the main psychoactive compound, THC, often outshines the one that provides a natural anti-anxiety, anti-epileptic and antipsychotic effect.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, lacks the colorful high commonly associated with your traditional marijuana high and doesn't have much of a noticeable effect when isolated. When combined with THC, the relaxing effect combats any feelings of paranoia or panic that can sometimes be felt under the influence.

While lauded for it's effect on epilepsy, recent cannabis research has identified CBD as the component responsible for a great deal of marijuana's medical benefits. Here are 10 medical use for CBD that you might not have known about:
