The key to predicting the future is sourcing primary data from the parties who will be the decision-makers
My personal opinion is that Full Spectrum CBD Oil products (Supplements and Foods) should be federally legalized by Congress, but what I feel or think should happen is irrelevant
That is why I am providing you this link to comments Dr. Gottlieb made in September 2019 on THC in CBD products — his language is very strong and direct and speaks for itself:
https://www.aei.org/research-products/speech/delivering-remarks-on-cannabinoids-gottlieb-at-samford-university-mcwhorter-school-of-pharmacy/
“The Food and Drug Administration has always been supportive of responsible research into the active ingredients of cannabis. But marijuana is still a Schedule I compound with known risks. That scheduling reflects proper concerns around the effects of THC.
These risks prompted my former colleague, the U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams – just this month – to issue a rare public health warning that no amount of THC is safe for teens, young adults and pregnant women.
THC has significant risks associated with infrequent and especially regular use.
Currently marketed products may have undeclared ingredients and impurities, including THC.
When Congress passed the Farm Bill, many expected that it would create a legal path for CBD to be widely sold in food products like dietary supplements. Some farmers say that the CBD oil from hemp is a high margin derivative from that crop. And to make the growing of hemp economically viable, farmers need to be able to extract and sell CBD from hemp.
We need a framework that not only differentiates THC from CBD, but one that also creates a safe and legal path to contemplate the addition of CBD to food and dietary supplements.
In tackling the continued marketing of CBD head on, FDA could enforce compliance with traceability and good manufacturing practice, which would help address concerns about undeclared ingredients and the presence of THC.”
“there is what they wanna do, and what they gotta do”
Congress isn’t the only party directing and influencing the FDA with respect to regulating Hemp and its cannabinoids
The pharmaceutical lobby is extremely powerful and must be taken into account here
It’s an open secret in DC that the deal currently on the table from the pharmaceutical lobby is to make a singular exception for CBD and leave the other cannabinoids for the pharma industry — whether other cannabinoids like CBG, CBN and CBC are subject to the IND preclusion is not a settled issue from their perspective
The IND preclusion for CBD is not the “whole basis” for disqualifying it from food and dietary supplements
It is only part of it
There are two other significant aspects that are in play here — both have been stated many times publicly by the FDA since The 2018 Farm Bill was passed
1) Safety data required to add CBD to food and dietary supplements
2) Preserving incentives for the pharmaceutical industry to continue pouring money into researching CBD and making medical progress
As I’ve just stated, there are 3 different significant factors that will determine whether other cannabinoids outside of CBD will be permitted by the FDA into food or dietary supplements and all 3 factors are currently working against them
1) IND preclusion — the FDA hasn’t publicly commented on this as of yet, but this is not a settled issue for many of the other cannabinoids which have been studied for a number of years
2) Safety Data — there is far more safety data on CBD than on CBG, CBC, CBN, etc
So if the FDA still isn’t satisfied with the safety data on CBD, where does that leave the other cannabinoids?
3) Preserving incentives for pharma to perform research on CBG, CBC, CBN, etc
“It is not the FDA passing the legislation, so their feelings about THC wont matter.”
I don’t even know where to begin with this argument
The FDA’s feelings about THC are very strong
And so are their facts
Facts certainly matter
Have a great weekend and good luck with your investments!
