										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a significant move for Florida&#8217;s hemp industry, Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed <a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2024/1698">Senate Bill 1698</a>, a legislative proposal aimed at banning delta-8 and other hemp products. This decision was met with widespread approval from consumers and businesses alike, who argued that the bill would have imposed severe restrictions and harmed the state&#8217;s economy. This article explores the implications of the veto, the reasons behind it, and what this means for the future of Florida&#8217;s hemp marketplace.</p>
<h3>Understanding the Veto</h3>
<p>Governor DeSantis&#8217; veto of SB 1698 came after substantial opposition from various stakeholders. Consumers, who rely on these products for physical and mental health benefits, and businesses, who warned of job losses and economic disruption, voiced their concerns. DeSantis echoed these sentiments in his veto letter, stating that the bill would impose &#8220;debilitating regulatory burdens on small businesses&#8221; and cause &#8220;dramatic disruption and harm to many small retail and manufacturing businesses in Florida.&#8221;</p>
<h3>The Economic Impact</h3>
<p>A study by a hemp trade group highlighted the economic stakes, revealing that Florida&#8217;s hemp market generated over $10 billion in sales in 2022 and employed more than 100,000 people. The potential job losses and economic downturn were key factors in DeSantis&#8217; decision to veto the bill. By maintaining the status quo, DeSantis aims to protect these jobs and support the industry&#8217;s growth.</p>
<h3>Future Regulatory Framework</h3>
<p>Despite the veto, DeSantis acknowledged the need for regulation in Florida&#8217;s hemp market. He encouraged the Legislature to revisit the topic in the next session, focusing on creating a sensible regulatory framework. DeSantis identified three critical areas for regulation: quality control, product packaging requirements, and the sale and distribution of hemp products.</p>
<h3>Public Response and Political Dynamics</h3>
<p>The governor&#8217;s office received over 13,000 communications from people and groups urging a veto, compared to fewer than 100 in support of the bill. This overwhelming public response underscores the bill&#8217;s unpopularity. While the Senate voted unanimously for the bill, the House showed more division, with 14 Republicans voting against it. This split highlights the complexity and contentious nature of the issue.</p>
<h3>Concerns Over CBD and Other Cannabinoids</h3>
<p>One of the significant concerns raised by opponents of the bill was its potential impact on CBD products. Although CBD does not produce a psychoactive effect, the bill&#8217;s broad language could have inadvertently affected these products. Paige Figi, Executive Director of Coalition for Access Now, opposed the bill due to its potential impact on CBD. Figi, whose daughter benefited from the CBD product Charlotte&#8217;s Web, emphasized that CBD access is crucial for many families managing severe health conditions.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p>Governor DeSantis&#8217; veto of SB 1698 preserves access to delta-8 and other hemp products in Florida, safeguarding both consumer health benefits and the state&#8217;s economic interests. As the Legislature prepares to revisit hemp regulation, stakeholders hope for a balanced approach that ensures safety without stifling the industry&#8217;s growth.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>A New Playbook: NCAA&#8217;s CSMAS Recommends Removing Cannabinoids from Banned Drug List</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>Introduction</strong></h4>
<p>In a ground-breaking <a href="https://www.ncaa.org/news/2023/9/22/media-center-csmas-recommends-divisions-remove-cannabinoids-from-ncaa-banned-drug-classes.aspx#:~:text=The%20NCAA%20Committee%20on%20Competitive,of%20NCAA%20banned%20drug%20classes.">decision</a> that could alter the narrative of drug use in collegiate sports, the NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (CSMAS) has recommended that cannabinoids be removed from the list of banned substances across all NCAA divisions. This pivot aims to recenter the focus on student-athlete well-being and reshape the <a href="https://blackcannabismagazine.com/ncaas-committee-policy-shift-cannabis-de-classification/">NCAA&#8217;s existing drug policy</a>.</p>
<h3><strong>The Driving Force Behind The Change</strong></h3>
<p>CSMAS convened in Indianapolis earlier this week, steering their agenda toward a comprehensive educational strategy to accompany these changes. The pivot is backed by substantial research from a wide range of experts, including medical doctors and substance misuse professionals.</p>
<h3><strong>The Summit and the Consensus</strong></h3>
<p>What led to this? Look no further than the Summit on Cannabinoids in College Athletics, held in December 2022. The summit concluded that cannabis is not a performance-enhancing drug. Consequently, a harm-reduction strategy, prioritizing education and support at the school level, was considered more effective than the punitive measures currently in place.</p>
<h3><strong>What This Means for Student-Athletes</strong></h3>
<p>This move signals a profound shift in the treatment of drug use among student-athletes. The new policy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dismisses the ineffectiveness of banning, testing, and penalizing</li>
<li>Focuses solely on performance-enhancing substances in the NCAA&#8217;s drug-testing programs</li>
<li>Advocates for harm-reduction strategies at the school level</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Next Steps</strong></h3>
<p>James Houle, committee chair and lead sport psychologist at Ohio State, stated, “We want to modernize the strategy with the most up-to-date research to give schools the best opportunity to support the health of student-athletes.” The final decision now rests with NCAA&#8217;s divisional governance structures, which will vote on the recommendation.</p>
<h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3>
<p>The CSMAS’s recommendation is more than just a rule change; it’s a potential paradigm shift. This move could set a new standard in college sports, placing student-athlete well-being at its core.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yale University has recently established the <a href="https://news.yale.edu/2023/02/22/yale-digs-science-cannabis">Center for the Science of Cannabis and Cannabinoids</a> to study the effects of marijuana on mental health, particularly on different age groups. Dr. Deepak D’Souza, the center’s director, stated that it is crucial to understand the impact of cannabis on society as more people use it due to commercialization. The center aims to generate high-quality information and science to help individuals, families, towns, and states make informed decisions for public health.</p>
<h5>What is Cannabis and Cannabinoids?</h5>
<p>Cannabinoids are chemicals found in cannabis that create psychoactive effects. Cannabis, on the other hand, refers to the plant itself, which contains over a hundred different cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).</p>
<h5>Why Study Cannabis and Cannabinoids on Mental Health?</h5>
<p>Most existing studies on cannabis focus on adults between 20-30 years old. However, it is equally important to investigate its impact on different age groups. According to D’Souza, older adults may be more vulnerable to the psychoactive and cardiovascular effects of cannabis, which can impair their ability to drive. On the other end of the spectrum, it is also crucial to study how cannabis affects the developing brain. The increasing use of cannabis among pregnant individuals has raised concerns about exposing the developing brain to cannabis.</p>
<h5>The Importance of Collaboration in Cannabis Research</h5>
<p>Although there are researchers at Yale who are already working independently on cannabis, the center aims to bring them together to collaborate on similar questions from different angles. It will also recruit individuals from outside Yale who have unique skill sets and interests that can contribute to cannabis research.</p>
<h5>Pilot Studies on Cannabis and Mental Health</h5>
<p>The School of Medicine&#8217;s Department of Psychiatry has allotted funds to collect pilot data for studies on the impact of cannabis on mental health. The center plans to use these studies for future grant applications with the National Institute of Health.</p>
<p>While the establishment of Yale University’s Center for the Science of Cannabis and Cannabinoids is a significant step towards studying the impact of cannabis on mental health, it also raises questions about the potential consequences of widespread commercialization. As more states legalize marijuana, it is essential to examine the impact of these changes on society as a whole. The Center&#8217;s findings will be vital in shaping policy decisions and promoting responsible use.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The endocannabinoid system is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the human body. It is similar to the immune system in that it helps regulate and balance other bodily systems. Additionally, research has shown that the endocannabinoid system can be modulated by cannabis and its constituents, particularly CBD and THC. In this article, we&#8217;ll explore the parallels between the endocannabinoid and immune systems and the role of cannabis in maintaining health and wellness.</p>
<h5>What is the Endocannabinoid System?</h5>
<p>The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system that is present in all mammals. It is composed of endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes that work together to regulate a variety of physiological processes, including pain, appetite, mood, and immune function. The endocannabinoids, such as anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), are molecules that are naturally produced by the body and act on the endocannabinoid receptors.</p>
<h5>The Endocannabinoid System: The Immune System&#8217;s Parallel</h5>
<p>The immune system is another complex biological system that helps protect the body from foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Like the endocannabinoid system, the immune system is involved in maintaining homeostasis and regulating various physiological processes. Both systems have specialized cells, receptors, and signaling pathways that work together to maintain balance in the body.</p>
<h5>The Role of Cannabis</h5>
<p>Cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids, including the two most well-known: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These cannabinoids are able to interact with the endocannabinoid receptors in the body, thereby modulating the ECS. Research has shown that CBD can help reduce inflammation, anxiety, and pain, while THC is known for its psychoactive effects.</p>
<p>In addition to the cannabinoids, cannabis also contains terpenes, flavonoids, and other compounds that may have beneficial effects on the body. For example, the terpene myrcene has been shown to have sedative effects, while the flavonoid quercetin has antioxidant properties.</p>
<h5>Medical Marijuana and the Immune System</h5>
<p>Medical marijuana has been used for centuries to treat a variety of medical conditions, including chronic pain, nausea, and seizures. More recently, it has been shown to have potential benefits for the immune system. One study found that medical marijuana use was associated with a reduced risk of autoimmune diseases such as Crohn&#8217;s disease and multiple sclerosis.</p>
<p>Another study found that cannabinoids such as CBD may have immunomodulatory effects, meaning they can help regulate the immune system. For example, CBD has been shown to reduce inflammation by decreasing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, CBD may help regulate the balance between T-helper 1 and T-helper 2 cells, which play a critical role in immune function.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Science is exploring the possibility that cannabinoid acids contain compounds that treat and prevent a variety of illnesses and diseases. What Are We Talking About Here? This form of cannabinoid (cannabigerolic acid or CBGA) is a compound of the cannabis flower. It’s the foundation of THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), and CBCA (cannabichromenic acid). [&#8230;]</p>

<h4>What Are We Talking About Here?</h4>
<p>This form of cannabinoid (cannabigerolic acid or CBGA) is a compound of the cannabis flower. It’s the foundation of THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), CBDA (cannabidiolic acid), and CBCA (cannabichromenic acid). Those are the three major resources of cannabinoid lines. Respectively, they become THC, CBD, and CBC.</p>

<p>Scientists have reviewed CBDA for almost a decade. In 2008, a study researched the substance as an anti-inflammatory agent. They compared CBDA’s molecular structures with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The results showed the chemical structures were surprisingly similar, demonstrating CBDA as a possible anti-inflammatory agent.</p>
<p>Also, thanks to its bioavailability, CBDA is quite possibly an anti-convulsive, a drug prescribed to reduce or prevent symptoms of epilepsy and other convulsive conditions. CBDA is more conducive to the human body and metabolizes in less time and with less effort. They attribute the reaction to the 5-HT receptors with 100 times the affinity of CBD.</p>
<p>The same receptor might make CBDA an effective medication for depression. Like an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) used as an antidepressant, CBDA works on 5-HT receptors.</p>

<p>Despite little medical research, early studies of CBGA imply strong application potential in a variety of conditions.</p>
<h4 class="s5"><span class="s6"><span class="bumpedFont15">Metabolic Disorders</span></span></h4>
<p>CBGA could help with metabolic disorders. A computer simulation in 2019 gave us a glimpse into the compound’s ability to manage activity in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs).</p>
<p>Should PPARs not function efficiently, diabetes and high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol increase. The introduction of CBGA showed enhanced stimulation in lipid metabolism in PPAR receptors. This resulted in reduced lip accumulation.</p>
<h4 class="s5"><span class="s6"><span class="bumpedFont15">Cardiovascular Disease</span></span></h4>
<p>CBGA may be able to tackle specific diabetic conditions like cardiovascular disease. Studies show the compound inhibits the aldose reductase enzyme. That’s a severe contributor to oxidative stress, leading to heart problems.</p>
<h4 class="s5"><span class="s6"><span class="bumpedFont15">Colon Cancer</span></span></h4>
<p>CBGA could be crucial to patients suffering the third most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of fatalities in cancer. Colorectal cancer, depending on where they start, encompasses both colon and rectal cancer.</p>
<p>Researchers studied cytotoxic effects of CBGA to find the CBGA has the potential to kill colon cancer cells. It hastened the cell death and arrested the cell cycle.</p>
<p>More research is certainly needed, but the results were encouraging. CBGA not only targeted colon cancer cells. It also prevented the proliferation of polyps.</p>
<p>There remains a massive amount of research to do before confirming CBGA consumption potential. There is speculation of juicing and ingesting CBGA from hemp. We strongly advise consulting with a doctor before doing any experimentation on your own.</p>
<p>To date, most CBDA studies consist of preclinical non-human reports.</p>
<p>GW Pharmaceuticals out of the U.K. is manufacturing a pharma-grade CBD oil, Epidiolex. It’s the FDA’s first approved cannabis-infused prescription drug. Among its many applications, Epidiolex may have a use as a seizure treatment.</p>
<p>The company also applied for two other CBDA medical patents. One is for cancer treatment. The other is for fighting inflammatory skin diseases.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cannabis has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments. In recent years, studies have shown that it may also be beneficial in treating mental health conditions. However, the use of cannabis in treating mental health conditions is still a controversial topic, and there is much that remains unknown. In this article, we will explore the relationship between cannabis and mental health, as well as its potential benefits and drawbacks.</p>
<h5>The Relationship Between Cannabis and Mental Health</h5>
<p>Cannabis affects the body&#8217;s endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and pain. The active compounds in cannabis, known as cannabinoids, interact with the body&#8217;s receptors to produce these effects. Some cannabinoids, such as CBD, have been found to have therapeutic effects on mental health conditions.</p>
<p>However, the relationship between cannabis and mental health is complex. While some people find that cannabis can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD, others report negative effects such as increased anxiety, paranoia, and psychotic symptoms. This may be due to the potency of certain strains of cannabis, as well as individual factors such as genetics and pre-existing mental health conditions.</p>
<h5>The Potential Benefits of Cannabis for Mental Health</h5>
<p>Despite the potential risks, many people have found that cannabis can be helpful in treating mental health conditions. Here are some of the potential benefits of cannabis for mental health:</p>
<ol>
<li>Anxiety: Many people find that cannabis can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety. Some studies have suggested that CBD, in particular, may have anxiolytic effects.</li>
<li>Depression: Cannabis may also be helpful in treating depression. Some studies have found that THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, can help to elevate mood and reduce feelings of sadness.</li>
<li>PTSD: Cannabis may also be beneficial in treating PTSD. Some studies have found that cannabis can help to reduce symptoms such as nightmares and flashbacks.</li>
<li>Insomnia: Cannabis may also be helpful in treating insomnia. Some strains of cannabis have sedative effects, which can help people to fall asleep and stay asleep.</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that the research on cannabis and mental health is still in its early stages, and more studies are needed to fully understand the potential benefits and drawbacks.</p>
<h5>The Potential Drawbacks of Cannabis for Mental Health</h5>
<p>While cannabis may have potential benefits for mental health, it can also have negative effects. Here are some of the potential drawbacks of cannabis for mental health:</p>
<ol>
<li>Increased Anxiety: While some people find that cannabis can help to alleviate anxiety, others may experience increased anxiety as a result of using it.</li>
<li>Psychotic Symptoms: In some cases, cannabis use can lead to psychotic symptoms such as paranoia and hallucinations.</li>
<li>Addiction: Cannabis can be addictive, and prolonged use can lead to dependence and withdrawal symptoms.</li>
<li>Interference with Medications: Cannabis can interact with certain medications, including antidepressants and antipsychotics. It&#8217;s important to speak with a healthcare professional before using cannabis in combination with other medications.</li>
