CBD Hemp Oil for Cancer Patients

The team's deal includes a brand activation experience where fans can learn about the benefits of CBD and other hemp-derived products while taking in a game. The Kansas City Royals organization is officially partnering up with a CBD company to promote the potential health benefits of the hemp-derived cannabinoid to its fans and supporters. According to numerous local and national media outlets , the deal between the Missouri-based MLB franchise and Pure Spectrum CBD, a producer of hemp-based cannabidiol products like oils and gummies, was announced this past Tuesday. The agreement makes the Royals the second Major League team to enter a business relationship with a CBD manufacturer, just two months after the Chicago Cubs inked a similar deal with the CBD sparkling beverage brand MYND DRINKS.        Likewise, both new partnerships come on the heels of a league-wide deal signed between MLB and Charlotte's Web Holdings , one of the largest and most well-known CBD comp...

The regulatory agency is testing the waters on potential revised guidelines for the proliferation of chemically derived variants, including Delta-8 THC . A final showdown between the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and manufacturers of controversial synthetically derived cannabinoids could be on the horizon. According to numerous media outlets , DEA will soon reveal its new rules clarifying the legality of chemically produced hemp derivatives like the politically toxic delta-8 THC isomer. Earlier this month, during the DEA’s 2023 Supply Chain Conference, the Chief of the agency’s Drug and Chemical Evaluation Section, Terrance Boos, when speaking on the topic of emerging trends, informed attendees that DEA officials have received “multiple petitions” on the issue and are “in the process of modifying our [regulations]” on cannabis constituents based on recommendations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).   His overall PowerPoint presentation covered a wide array...

With both sides of the Atlantic struggling to grapple with how to regulate the lucrative hemp-derived product, many governing bodies could take the easy way out and designate CBD as a drug. It has been five years since the U.S. Congress passed the 2018 Farm Bill , which delisted hemp from the Controlled Substances List . That simple act created a seismic event in the United States and across the globe. Farmers began to cultivate the plant at an accelerated rate, and innovative entrepreneurs took advantage of hemp's legal status to produce a remarkable number of hemp-derived products. One of those items, a favorite of alternative medicine advocates for decades, is CBD or Cannabidiol . Proponents of CBD extol its use for a wide range of health issues. Unfortunately, there is little empirical scientific proof of its efficacy in treating specific diseases or medical conditions. However, scientists have recently found strong evidence for the use of CBD in helping to combat some of the ...

Citing a rigorous interpretation of European Union (EU) guidelines, Czech health officials are banning the marketing and sale of CBD and other hemp-based products. The continuing assault on hemp and its derivatives has spread to Europe. As first reported by Hemptoday , food safety authorities in the Czech Republic say they are implementing a ban on all items containing hemp-derived cannabinoids, most notably CBD. According to the Czech Ministry of Agriculture, the State Agricultural and Food Inspection Authority (SZPI) is putting together a measure to remove all food and dietary supplements containing hemp-based cannabinoid variants from the market. Those items are sold as oils, capsules, tinctures, gummies and other edible products. In addition, the removal also extends to hemp-based topicals and cosmetics. The Ministry did not provide a timetable for when the ban will go into effect.      Hemp industry advocates and stakeholders view the action as extreme, considering t...

The NBA and MLB are leading America's popular sports leagues in openly supporting hemp and marijuana products. In the not-too-distant past, associating professional sports organizations with plant medicines, like marijuana and hemp-derived CBD , would have been viewed as a calamitous detriment and by no means a positive for those vaunted leagues. Oh, how times and attitudes have changed. Last week, the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Baseball made groundbreaking and historic announcements regarding new policies and ventures with companies in the hemp and cannabis industries.   According to multiple media outlets , the Chicago Cubs became the first MLB club to announce a new partnership with a CBD company last Friday. The team has reportedly inked a new marketing agreement with MYND DRINKS, a CBD sparkling beverage brand. Per the contractual arrangements, the company's products will be promoted via signage and "several in-game features" at the Cu...

Washington state legislators are contemplating a new "dank tax" for cannabis products based on the percentage of THC in those items. As first reported by High Times , lawmakers want to institute this new tiered sales taxation system to help prevent what they characterize as a quickly developing "crisis" in the world of highly concentrated THC products. In an interview with station KXLY , Washington state House Rep. Lauren Davis, one of the bill's sponsors, said, "Research indicates that between 12% and 50% of psychotic disorders could be prevented if high potency cannabis products were not available. If we fail to act now to counter the emerging public health crisis created by high-potency cannabis products, we will soon have another epidemic on our hands." House Bill 1641 would adjust the current taxation model as follows: Cannabis items containing a THC concentration of less than 35% would be taxed at the current 37% sales tax rate. Items with a TH...
