FDA Will Not Regulate CBD

February 2, 2023 Published by

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will not regulate CBD after a “careful review” of the subject. Instead, the FDA is asking Congress to create a regulatory system that balances “risk” with access to CBD products. This announcement hasn’t changed the status of CBD products, which are legal but not regulated as food or dietary supplements. Some businesses were disappointed to hear that the FDA will not regulate CBD. Many people associate the federal bureaucracy with consumer-friendly standards and […]

The German government is delaying cannabis legalization as they have yet to submit proposals to the European Commission. Accordingly, Germans may not see legal cannabis until 2025. In an e-mail to Euronews, the German health ministry confirmed that a draft law for cannabis legalization is “currently being drafted.” “A large number of legal and operational questions concerning implementation need to be answered and coordinated between the ministries in charge” before the government can submit the change to the European Commission, the […]

Will the FDA regulate CBD? It’s a question on many minds as the FDA commissioner is to appear before the U.S. House Oversight Committee. Chairman of the Committee, James Comer, wants details on CBD. He said: “It’s not just their lack of action with respect to CBD and other types of hemp. It’s their inaction regarding a lot of areas of their jurisdiction … We’ve got an agency here that has a big budget, they have a lot of employees, […]

Top Cannabis Stories of 2022

December 28, 2022 Published by

What were some of the top cannabis stories of 2022? It was a big year for legalization efforts, but full-scale implementations are still needed. While Germany looked to legalize cannabis, it didn’t happen in 2022. Likewise, despite beliefs that Biden and the Democrats would legalize cannabis or, at the very least, pass some cannabis banking regulations, nothing came of it. Cannabis didn’t fare much better in Canada, where authorities launched a full-scale war on medical cannabis and legacy medical providers. […]

Can You Overdose from THC?

October 26, 2022 Published by

Can you overdose from THC? It depends on what you mean by overdose. Usually, the term implies taking too much of a substance to the point of death. But in common parlance, talking about overdosing on THC could mean simply taking too much. And that is subjective for every individual. A connoisseur may smoke multiple joints daily, perhaps eating a 100+ mg cookie before bed. Other consumers, on the other hand, may prefer a single bowl. And maybe only on […]

How Delta 8 and 9 THC laws are different in Canada

October 21, 2022 Published by

Delta-8 hit shelves in Canada, but many wonder why processors want to produce a semi-synthetic THC variant. Consumers claim delta-8 is potent but less inebriating than delta-9 THC. But Canadian producers might target regulatory loopholes with THC variants. “Synthetic” is an ambiguous word, especially for cannabinoids. Yet semi-synthetic implies chemists modified an organic substance derived from nature with fully synthetic reagents. A byproduct of non-viable regulations Delta-8 THC became popular in the USA once the Farm Bill removed CBD-derived hemp […]
