We have a fun show for you today!
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%).

12 Patenting the Leaf of Heroes and Suppositories Questions
Hello my fellow Hemp nuts! Are you ready for the cannabis bonanza?! With Greer Barnes out of studio and performing in Las Vegas this week, the show is anchored by Unapologetic Farmer Randy Cameron, Jr, Jan Roberts, LCSW,DSW, and Jahan Marcu, Ph.D.
Word of the day: Virapattra Sanskrit word meaning leaf of heroes
High Science Topic:
The science behind patents: Who Owns Cannabis Genetics?
Article: https://bigbudsmag.com/what-happens-if-corporations-patent-cannabis-genetics/
Summary/high notes:
It wasn’t until 1981 that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) began to issue patents for natural plan. General Electric (GE), developed bacteria that was capable of breaking down crude oil, and so GE and Chakrabarty sought a patent. Today, the USPTO’s guidelines on patenting living things are even broader, allowing anyone who “invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new variety of plant ... may obtain a patent therefor.” Patents are expensive, but valuable. It works like this: First, an inventor files an application, in which they must provide details on four sets of criteria:
1. Whether or not the invention can be patented under law
2. Proof that the invention is truly new
3. The invention is useful
4. The invention is non-obvious
Cannabis is in danger of going the way the rest of agriculture has gone: toward monoculture, centralization, and restrictive patenting. The Open Cannabis Project (OCP) was established by industry leaders to resist these forces and to protect genetic diversity of the Cannabis plant as well as the economic diversity of the cannabis industry. “Without documentation, how can any of these farmers prove they had things before they were patented? We have yet to see how this will play out,” Schechter says.
The effects of these patents on the cannabis industry still remain to be seen. How can you enforce federal patents on something federally illegal?

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?

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...
