WORD OF THE DAY:
Bhangini : an ancient sanskrit and hindi word for cannabis translating to "breaks three kinds of misery”.
HIGH SCIENCE/RESEARCH FINDINGS:
The article for today’s High Science, is a trip through the wayback machine to 1975 and covers a foundational study documenting the so-called "slingshot effect”, a term used to describe the effects of taking THC and CBD together, which has been described on social media and other anecdotal reports.
Science Article Title:
Interactions in Man of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol - Cannabinol and Cannabidiol
• When taken orally CBD can delay onset, increase duration and intensity of THC
• This occurs because CBD can block the liver metabolism of drugs
• The effect appears slight in this study
Source:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1097148
More Notes on the 75’ study:
Oral doses of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) 20 mg, combined with placebo or with 40 mg doses of cannabinol (CBN) and cannabidiol (CBD), were given to volunteers. The combination of THC with CBN produced no detectable changes in the quality, intensity, or duration of the effects of THC alone. The THC-CBD combination tended to delay onset and prolong effects of THC, while making them somewhat more intense. Even this interactive effect was slight, providing no reason to abandon the current practice of basing doses of marihuana for clinical studies solely on THC content. At the very most, the presence of comparatively large amounts of CBD in combination with THC may have increased slightly its clinical effects. CBD has been reported to be a potent inhibitor of hydroxylating enzymes. Such an action could delay formation of the Il-hydroxymetabolite, one which is known to be somewhat more potent than the parent substance. This action might also delay formation of dihydroxymetabolites, which are generally assumed to be inactive. Thus, the clinically observed slower onset and longer duration of the THC-CBD combination might possibly be explained by this mechanism.

CANNABUSTING: Finding or Fiction?
When you hear strange things about Marijuana...Who you gonna Call?! CANNABUSTERS!
To warm us up, let’s start simply, a news report stated that in all, 31,075 people are registered with the program. Fewer than half of registered Ohio medical marijuana patients buying product: marijuana news

This story is out of florida, the Grandmother (or great-grandmother) that was arrested for CBD oil at Disney World, detained again this week after returning to the park and got caught using a vape pen. After some very serious comments about how she was treated, She quipped to the media, appearing with her lawyer, in an interview, that “I thought that chipmunk was following me but I kept telling myself not to be so paranoid.”BUT WHAT IS TRUE...is that the Grandmother, Hester Burkhalter, is threatening to sue Disney and Orange county police of Florida, represented by Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump. Charges were dropped, but she is suing over things like spending 12 hours in jail while waiting to post bail...

Segments:
- The Check In
- Our word of the day is: Shivbooty = Shiva’s plant
- Segment: "No, THC does that"
- Research Focus/High Science:
Given popular stereotypes that cannabis use is associated with a lack of motivation and, indeed, extreme sedentary behavior (c.f., “couch lock”), increased cannabis use could worsen the sedentary lifestyle epidemic that the US is currently facing. On the other hand, cannabis use is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency because of its potential to improve sports performance, and numerous reports in the popular press suggest that endurance athletes utilize cannabis in their training. Such conflicting ideas about the relationship between cannabis use and physical activity necessitate further investigation into how cannabis use may affect factors associated with regular physical activity participation.

MS patients taking cannabis were able to reduce intake of opioids and benzodiazepines
According to a retrospective chart review of 77 patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis treatment with cannabis allowed one third to reduce the intake of other medications, including opioids. Scientists of Dent Neurologic Institute Amherst in New York, USA, published their study results In the Journal Neurology.
Subjective improvement endorsed by patients was extensive, with alleviation of pain (71%), spasticity (43%), and sleep (42%). In addition, 34% of patients were able to decrease or discontinue other medications including opioids, stimulants, and benzodiazepines. A low rate of discontinuation (14%) was observed, most frequently due to cost (36%) and lack of efficacy (36%).

WORD OF THE DAY:
dabcident; When you are dabbing (dancing) and you accidentally injure yourself by hitting something or someone. As well, a dabcident can consist of you pulling a muscle by dabbing.
When you are smoking dabs and screw up and burn yourself, or get your wax on stuff.
"I burnt a hole in my coat sleeve. It accidently touched the nail, it was a dabcident."
-Urban Dictionary
OVER THE COUNTER
•
PRODUCT - Will this product work or will it be Cannabusted?
◦
Tampons Link
◦
If you have painful period cramps, you’re in luck. There’s a new cannabis-infused “tampon” on the market, and according to customer reviews, it’s “magical.” It’s not exactly a tampon, just a cocoa-butter-based, tampon-shaped suppository, infused with THC and CBD oil.
◦
The product is called “Relief” made by a company called Foria selling at around $10 a suppository. One woman with endometriosis said it “changed her life,” in a review on Foria’s website. Another called it “better than Midol.”
◦
According to the reviews, one suppository can provide 24 hours of relief. Unfortunately not all women can access the little “lifesavers.” So far, only dispensaries in California and Colorado carry them. If you don’t live in those states, you can order the CBD-only version online.
◦
Both products are made with sun-grown cannabis cultivated to organic standards and independently-tested as free of pesticides, heavy metals, microbes and other toxins.
TIME FOR NEW HEMP TIMES TO REGULATE: THE FDA and the future of cannabis
FDA CBD Regulations - NutritionalOutlook.com
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has said if the FDA is unable to come up with regulations quickly, it would be up to Congress to create a framework. Friday’s hearing isn’t expected to yield immediate results and the FDA is set to create a working group to continue the effort, but speakers will include cannabis industry pioneers, entrepreneurs, politicians, scientists and doctors, many of whom have played a role in legalizing cannabis and hemp.
The FDA has warned companies that because it views CBD as a drug, it cannot be added to food or beverages or marketed as a dietary supplement in interstate commerce. But it has also said that given the strong public interest in CBD as a wellness aid, it will seek to help provide pathways to regulatory approval.
The Need for Federal Regulation of Marijuana Marketing
A national for-profit marijuana industry is expanding substantially in the United States. Thirty-three states have legalized medical marijuana, 10 of which (where 1 in 4 individuals reside) have also legalized recreational marijuana. Sales of marijuana are projected to increase from $8.5 billion to $75 billion by 2030, rivaling current tobacco sales ($125 billion). The initial marijuana marketplace was limited to a few states, but emerging brands have developed sophisticated national marketing campaigns that could potentially have an effect across state lines. This marketplace expansion, along with questionable marketing practices, introduces a need for federal action.
For some physicians and public health experts, the marketing strategies used by MedMen may harken back to an era when physicians endorsed their favorite tobacco products and youth wore tobacco-branded clothing in schools. The time for a response is now, for delayed reaction will yield lingering exposure to potentially hazardous marketing claims. A national evidence-based regulatory regime for marijuana marketing must become a public health priority.

WORD OF THE DAY:
Charas: cannabis resin (hashish), either hand-rubbed or sifted. Charas (Hindustani) is the name given to a hashish form of cannabis which is handmade in the Indian subcontinent and Jamaica. It is made from the resin of the cannabis plant.
Social Justice Focus:
https://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a27009941/cbd-privilege-marijuana-legalization/
We Have to Acknowledge That CBD Use Is a Privilege. Though CBD (unlike THC) has been largely legalized, recent arrest numbers of black and brown people still reflect troubling policies.
In this growing market of Cannabis products, CBD can be found in stores across a multitude of states and regions in the US. Despite the rapid expansion of the market, some consumers will face accessibility issues due to location and demographics. The exclusion of POC and minorities from the profits of the Cannabis industry still happens, despite the history of oppression that Prohibition has created.
“Cannabis has been split in the public imagination and in many of our laws, into a good guy and a bad guy. A drug and a medicine.”
“Those profiting off of CBD ought to ask themselves what they can do for the predominantly black and brown kids still bearing the brunt of criminalization.”

CBD Can Help Curb Heroin Cravings, New Study Finds | Leafly
The record-breaking climb in US overdose deaths—which now outnumber peak annual deaths from car crashes, guns, and HIV—has led some to second-guess cannabis legalization. But a new study ...
Cannabidiol (CBD) reduced cue-induced craving and anxiety in individuals with a history of heroin abuse, suggesting a potential role for it in helping to break the cycle of addiction, according to research conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published May 21 in the American Journal of Psychiatry. The study also revealed that CBD tended to reduce physiological measures of stress reactivity, such as increased heart rate and cortisol levels, that are induced by drug cues.
"Our findings indicate that CBD holds significant promise for treating individuals with heroin use disorder," says Dr. Hurd. "A successful non-opioid medication would add significantly to the existing addiction medication toolbox to help reduce the growing death toll, enormous health care costs, and treatment limitations imposed by stringent government regulations amid this persistent opioid epidemic."
“CBD holds significant promise for treating individuals with heroin use disorder.”

WORD OF THE DAY:
Gatra-bhanga ancient sanskrit or hindi word meaning “body disintegrator.
HIGH SCIENCE/RESEARCH FINDINGS: Thank you to Sarah Russo and Dan Goldman for both texting me about this article and bringing it to my attention.https://www.leafly.com/news/health/cbd-can-help-with-heroin-addiction-study-findsResearchers in NYC (Shout to Mount Sinai) teamed up with a team in Spain. Dr. Yasmin Hurd is one of the authors of the paper, she is a colleague of mine. I have hosted panels that she has been on. She’s one of the enlightened drug abuse researchers. And someone I am hoping to work with on some of the institutes work. The work was published in the journal of neuroscience this week.TAKE HOME MESSAGE: The study in rats, translated into its human potential could mean that after abstaining from opioid use for a time, CBD could prevent relapse. But may have no effect on first wave of opioid addiction, CBD may not prevent the development of addiction but may help break the cycle or relapse after abstinence.Cannabis and its benefits remain controversial Reports exist showing THC can both help or hurt regarding opioid use
Little research exists on CBD’s effect on opioid or heroin use Rats were trained to self- administer heroin, they learned very quickly Rats
were trained using environment cues Rats were given CBD during different phases of drug abuse cycle drug addiction cycle involves maintenance, extinction, and relapse CBD has no effect on any part of opioid use during first part of experiment After two weeks off of heroin, rats were challenged in “treatment tank” CBD protected rats from seeking out morphine when placed back in the “treatment tank” The effect lasted two weeks- which is amazing

Did you know JFK smoked pot in the white house?While in the white house he suffered from severe back pain and addison’s disease, some claim Kennedy used cannabis to treat his conditions but there is no supporting evidence for this myth. He was taking several medications to help him function.“On the evening of July 16, 1962, according to [Washington Post executive] Jim Truitt, Kennedy and Mary Meyer smoked marijuana together. ... The president smoked three of the six joints Mary brought to him. At first he felt no effects. ”According to Mr. Truitt, “They smoked three of the joints before he (J.F.K.) told her: ‘No more. Suppose the Russians did something now.'”The most widely referenced account of Kennedy’s supposed marijuana use was not primarily linked with his health or with medical treatment. Rather, it was an anecdotal account of JFK’s supposedly being introduced to recreational pot use by one of his mistresses that was published in the National Enquirer tabloid in 1976 and referenced in the 1984 book The Kennedys: An American Drama by Peter Collier and David Horowitz.

HIGH SCIENCE/RESEARCH FOCUS:
Today’s High science research focus, is bigger than the discovery gravitational waves!
New evidence may invalidate a lot of THC testing that is done after people die from accidents or natural causes. Research tries to tie MJ to deaths by looking at levels in the body after people die. Researchers/toxicologists have found what is described as “Oh my god” levels of THC in post mortem analysis.
Post-Mortem THC levels do not shed light on intoxication Levels
Researchers have found that the death greatly affects THC levels in the blood. Potentially discounting all roadside and death related research into cannabis.
If you take a blood sample from a living person, and it is low or within legal limit, but if the day that day, the levels shoot up to “oh my god” levels, due to the body breaking down and releasing it.
Coroners/toxicologists being asked to determine whether marijuana played a role in death state that “we couldn't really answer that question, it is not scientifically possible. because what happens is that if take you the sample after death the results produce artificially high, “sky high”, levels of THC that make you think “oh my god” by in facts its just an artifact from the body breaking down.
“We cant rely on post-mortem THC concentrations when it come to the impairment that somebody was at or the level they had in their the system when they were alive.”
The fresher the body, the lower the blood levels of THC.

“we acknowledge one key point of agreement with Berenson: Research does show that cannabis can trigger or worsen psychosis in predisposed individuals. Indeed, we have spent years educating the public about this risk.”
“We appeal to government officials, the public, and our fellow physicians to support the sensible regulation of adult cannabis use as a more humane and cost-effective alternative to prohibition. Our nation must embrace science, reject misguided moralism around cannabis use, and recognize that books like Berenson’s are exactly what he inadvertently entitled his own: Reefer Madness.”
