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."

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.”
- Yasmin Hurd, director, Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai
