My last post left for today...and I didn't mean to over-discuss on a Friday, but that list of problems with THC is no good. You again say THC is a schedule one cannabinoid when hemp derived THC is not a schedule one cannabinoid. This is a fact. I just posted the federal amendment to the CSA.
CBD is not the only cannabinoid that functions as an antioxidant and neuroprotectant. THC does as well. You can say that THC has short term negative effects on short term memory, but we both know THC is not anywhere near as harmful as plenty of legally ingestible substances. We also know it has medical benefits, or it wouldn't be an ingredient in those FDA approved drugs you listed. Furthermore, the .3% THC that naturally occurs in hemp is so far below any level of psycho-activity, that citing such a risk comes off as a scare tactic.
Also, no FDA approved drugs contain CBD or THC derived from hemp as an ingredient. They are either synthetic or derived from marijuana.
As far as investing ahead of what you think the FDA will do, well, there is what they wanna do, and what they gotta do. The FDA were commissioned by the Farm Bill to regulate Hemp, not CBD. Are they doing that?
I don't have any beef with CANB, I just don't agree with your opinion on how the market should take shape going forward. Nothing personal. But, after the FDA has just proclaimed the IND preclusion for CBD as the whole basis for disqualifying it from food and dietary supplements, I think depriving consumers of other non-psychoactive secondary cannabinoids simply because they HAVEN'T been part of any safety studies meant for FDA approved drugs would be self-contradictory at a minimum.
There is nothing stopping any secondary cannabinoids from going into food or dietary supplements as they are not FDA drug ingredients. So if/when CBD gets a green light, the others will all legally come along for the ride. Congress passed the Farm Bill with the definition of .3% THC in it, so when it comes to passing a hemp derived CBD dietary supplement bill, congress shouldn't have an issue with .3% THC. It is not the FDA passing the legislation, so their feelings about THC wont matter. I also believe the House Bill may be amended a bit before it can fully pass.
Anyway, I'm out of posts. Have a good weekend. GL!
