$32,500 for CBD Oil? FDA Wants to Turn CBD Oil Into a Drug???

If we don’t change a key FDA policy, that’s how much you may be forced to pay if you want to purchase CBD oil.

For years, consumers have benefitted from access to cheap, safe, and effective CBD oil supplements. But now the FDA says that CBD is a drug, not a supplement—a drug which will be sold for $32,500 a year. Legally the FDA could at any time remove all CBD supplements from the market, on its own volition, or if the drug company which holds drug market exclusivity requests FDA do so. Unless we change the rules, we may see a government-sponsored monopoly on CBD oil, and in the near future, additional monopolies on other cheap, safe, and effective supplements.

CBGVA (Cannabigerovarinic acid)

Cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA) is an naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plant. 'Mother Cannabinoid' is another definition.

CBGVA is a 'building block' for other cannabinoids, like CBGA, through the process of biosynthesis,as the cannabis plant matures, CBGVA produces tetrahydrocannabivarin carboxylic acid (THCVA), cannabidivarinic acid (CBDVA),cannabichromevarinic acid (CBCVA) and other compounds.

Resently remmoved from the SheduleI prohibitions and the information you can find are limited so we don't know enought about the pharmaceutical properties that might have.

But in a study published in Intenational Jurnal Of Oncology, six different cannabinoids were tested including CBGVA .

The study examines the Anticancer effects of phytocannabinoids used with chemotherapy in leukaemia cells can be improved by altering the sequence of their administration

The study suggest that "when certain cannabinoids are paired together, the resulting product can be combined synergistically with common astill remain efficacious. Nevertheless, the sequence of drug administration is crucial to the success of these triple combinations and should be considered when planning such treatments. Anti-leukaemia drugs allowing the dose of the cytotoxic agents to be dramatically reduced yet.

Mabe this is the start for further studies on CBGVA and in all other cannabinoids.

Timeline: Discovering the Endocannabinoid System (Part1: 1964/1995)

"The Process of Discovering the Endocannabinoid System"

Without the research conducted on the cannabis sativa plant that lead to the discovery of the endocannabinoid system, our understanding of the human body's functions would move into the future underdeveloped; unknowing of this system that produces & interacts with cannabinoids that are also found in the plant.

The discovery of the endocannabinoid system didn’t happen overnight. It was a series of events beginning in 1964 with the isolation of THC…

CBD for Dogs with Arthritis: How My Old Poodle Became His Playful Self Again

Bo, a 13-year-old poodle, was in so much pain he could barely sleep or eat. Then, his owner Alexis, like other pet owners across the country, discovered CBD for dogs with arthritis.

Alexis Rosenbaum knew something was wrong. Bo, her 13-year-old miniature poodle, hadn’t gone to the bathroom for three days. He couldn’t lift his head, eat, drink or sleep. Usually a playful and energetic poodle, Bo had to be carried around in a baby sling on Rosenbaum’s chest, but he still whimpered and cried from the pain.

"How Does CBD Help With Exercise"?

Why are athletes using CBD supplements, and what can CBD do for your exercise routine?

Last year the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) made a big change: though they still do not allow athletes to utilize medical cannabis, they’re allowing for athletes to use only CBD supplements.

Though the WADA doesn’t govern all anti-doping regulations, they do set the tone, and other anti-doping authorities are likely to follow this line. 

Athletes now have more freedom to access the health and wellness benefits of CBD, without being disqualified from competing.

CBD for Sports: “It Helps”

The WADA change came after MMA fighter Nate Diaz took a drag from a CBD vaporizer pen during a post-fight press conference, in direct violation of the rules, and explained the benefits he experienced from the supplement: “It helps with the healing process and inflammation and things like that, so you want to get these for before or after the fights, in training. It’ll make your life a better place,” Nate Diaz told press, potentially endangering his career.

Rather than ruining his career, Diaz opened the way for more athletes to use cannabidiol (CBD) to supplement and support their exercise regimen. CBD supplements can be great both pre- and post-workout to prevent inflammation like Diaz pointed out, but that’s not all. Research shows that CBD can improve recovery, especially after injury, reduce pain and muscle spasms, improve sleep, and stimulate appetite.
