cbdMD : What is National CBD Month, and Why Does It Matter?… – Marketscreener.com
Posted: January 3, 2021 at 9:49 pm
cbdMD is the Official Founder of National CBD Month, an initiative to raise awareness, provide education, and bust myths about one of the great wellness breakthroughs of our age.
Ever since the most recent Farm Bill became law in late 2018, CBD has been federally legal and ever more in demand. This demand has helped further loosen state and local cannabis laws since then, bringing the powerful benefits of CBD to more and more consumers in the form of oils, edibles, topicals, and more.
But even after all the intense media coverage and discussion, many people are still full of questions about CBD. Can CBD get you high? Is it equally legal everywhere? Which CBD sellers can you trust? And what's the best CBD oil for you?
cbdMD officially founded National CBD Month to combat these problems head-on. Throughout the month of January, we aim to shine a spotlight on the hemp-derived substance, clear up misunderstandings, change perceptions, and set standards for superior CBD products.
And it all starts with
One of cbdMD's main goals for National CBD Month is to offer consumers a better understanding of what hemp-derived CBD is, where it comes from, and how it may help them achieve their wellness goals. And while that may seem like a relatively straightforward task, it's actually quite a challenge.
Hemp gets a bad rap due to its similarity to marijuana. They're both strains of cannabis, they look and smell identical, and both were illegal for decades.
But there's one major difference. Marijuana contains lots of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the substance that makes users feel 'stoned.' On the other hand, federally legal hemp contains only trace amounts of THC (0.3 percent to be exact) and CBD is abundant.
It's also important to note that CBD does not cause a high. There are also plenty of THC-free* options available, like the CBD products available from cbdMD.
So long as CBD comes from hemp rather than marijuana, it's legal at the federal level. States that have legalized marijuana usually also allow marijuana-derived CBD, but you're better off avoiding that if you're trying to steer clear of THC.
For more detailed CBD information, see our page What Is CBD? On the legality question, check out our state-by-state guide.
Another problem information seekers face is misinformation about CBD.
Many citizens of the Internet - including some CBD sellers - make unproven claims about CBD. There are plenty of encouraging studies about CBD and its possibilities, but let's be clear: Anyone who says that consumer CBD products can cure or treat a disease does so without proper evidence.
Instead, CBD is best described as a way to support your existing health and fitness routine.
Another common myth is that all CBD products are essentially the same.
High-quality CBD products are made with care, precision, and premium ingredients while others are produced using shortcuts and the cheapest stuff available.
Even worse, some CBD offerings are little more than mislabeled counterfeits that contain little or no CBD. They may also contain dangerous contaminants.
The good news is that industry leaders like cbdMD take your health and wellness seriously.
Reputable CBD producers always provide consumers with third-party safety tests from ISO-certified laboratories. That way, you always know exactly what's in your CBD of choice.
For more myth-busting, see CBD Facts: The Real Truth About CBD Oil.
As we noted, the federal government has not accepted any claims that CBD can cure or prevent disease. So what does it do?
CBD, like other products of cannabis, works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system. This is a set of neural receptors that help regulate many processes, including mood, memory, digestion, the immune response, and even staying upright. Overall, it helps preserve homeostasis: the balance your body maintains even when stresses from your environment try to throw it off.
By enhancing this system, CBD isn't so much a targeted treatment of anything as a way to maintain whole-body wellness. Many people find that taking daily CBD helps them stay calm and focused, and boosts their sense of well-being.
If all that sounds good to you, the next question is: what product do you buy? There are many, many CBD-infused products out there, and ingenious retailers keep coming up with new ones.
We've gone into great detail about this in our CBD buyer's guide. But when it comes down to it, there are just a few ways to deliver CBD into your body, so the differences between the various products often amount to what extra ingredients are involved (if any) and personal taste. Here's a quick guide:
We've covered a lot already, but there's more on the way! Keep watching this blog to learn more about CBD benefits, different CBD products, and how they can fit into your daily life.
We'll also send out interesting articles, special offers, and more through our email newsletter. To sign up, just enter your address at the bottom of any page on our website.
Another great way to stay informed is to follow us on social media at Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We update our feeds and stories daily!
From all of us at cbdMD, Happy National CBD Month!

How Pakistan is trying to boost industrial hemp production – DW (English)
Posted: at 9:49 pm
Pakistan's government announced in September that it would allow the industrial production of hemp, a type of cannabis plant containing cannabidiol (CBD) thatadvocates say has numerous medicinal and relaxing properties. Hemp, however, does not contain significant quantities of high-inducing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Prime Minister Imran Khan's government has struggled to boost the country's foreign exchange coffers, which have been drained by a struggling economy, fiscal deficits and inflation.
Fawad Chaudhry, the science and technology minister, said Pakistan could rake in about $1 billion (820 million) in revenue over the next three years by capturing a share in the booming CBD market. Chaudhry said the industrial hemp market was worth about $25 billion globally and several countries were relaxing laws targeting cannabis-based products such as CBD oils.
The government's decision came after a UN commission voted to remove the cannabis made for medicinal purposes from a category of the world's most dangerous drugs. Experts view this change as a "watershed moment" for greater medical research and legalization globally.
Hemp production could open up new opportunities for farmers in Pakistan at a time when they're struggling with the slowdown in the cotton industry. Cotton accounts for 8% of the South Asian nation's GDP and 64% of exports, but production dropped by a staggering 20% in 2019, slashing growers' incomes.
Hemp grows almost as a weed in parts of Pakistan including in great abundance in the capital, where huge bushes can be seen sprouting at traffic roundabouts.
"Hemp is highly resistant to bad weather. There are no pesticides needed in its production, which makes it eco-friendly and safe. It can also be grown in abundance on little land and requires less water than cotton," Helga Ahmed, a German environmentalist who has been living in Pakistan for the past 60 years, told DW.
Ahmed has been actively lobbying for the legalization of hemp production in the country and noted that the applications of hemp go beyond consumer products like textiles and CBD oils. She shared that greener hemp production practices can be leveraged to tackle climate change and promote sustainable social housing.
In conservative Pakistan, where the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden for Muslims, many people are surprisingly open to using cannabis, with the spongy, black hash made from marijuana grown in the country's tribal belt and neighboring Afghanistan the preferred variant of the drug.
Across the subcontinent people have been cultivating cannabis and smoking hash for centuries. The plant predates the arrival of Islam in the region, with reference to cannabis appearing in the sacred Hindu Atharva Veda text describing its medicinal and ritual uses.
Cotton accounts for 8% of Pakistan's GDP and 64% of exports, but production dropped by a staggering 20% in 2019, slashing growers' incomes
Despite its potential socioeconomic benefits, Pakistan faces bottlenecks in ramping up hemp's production. Environmentalists who have been lobbying for hemp's legalization are worried about the vertical integration model the government may adopt.
"Hemp is an inherently carbon negative plant, but if the government goes solely with vertical integration, it will become carbon positive," Mo Khan, Green Gate Global, UK, told DW. "Technology needs to be brought in but also the indigenous knowledge base of farmers that have been tending hemp over the past 2,000 years," he said.
Khan, who has been working with grassroots farmers, said allocating at least 25% of the hemp production to small-scale farmers was the only way to ensure its sustainable production. He also noted that there are significant logistical challenges involved even if the climate and landscape are ripe for hemp, pointing to the lack of adequate infrastructure and onerous licensing and certification requirements in the country.
Junaid Zaman, the CEO of Shamanic Biohacker, launched a successful CBD e-commerce venture in 2020. His operation does not have a local supply chain, and the CBD extract used is sourced internationally through reputable biotech lab partners that adhere to the US Food and Drug Administration regulations.
The carrier oil used in the finished product, however, is sourced and made locally. Zaman plans on moving this supply chain in-house once the locally grown crop is available in March next year in Pakistan.
But such startups worry that major contracts will be allotted to existing big players. "As per my understanding, the approved license to grow industrial hemp as a crop in three districts has gone to existing and established players from the tobacco industry," Zaman told DW. "The multinational organizations concerned will this year apparently grow the crop instead of tobacco in those districts with the approval."
Observers, however, remain optimistic and believe that Pakistan has the potential to emerge as an industry leader in this sector if the government avoids repeating the mistakes of other countries and actively engages local and foreign experts to ensure sustainability.

How to maximise the benefits of CBD – The Upcoming

How to maximise the benefits of CBD
In recent years, the online popularity of CBD has increased by over 200%. Most people have read about the benefits of taking CBD or know someone whos benefitting from using CBD. For those trying to add CBD into their daily routine, there are a few things to consider. First things first its necessary to find the right supplier for CBD products even when buying them in bulk like wholesale CBD gummies. Here are tips on how to help maximise the benefits of CBD.
Incorporate more fatty acids into the diet
One of the simplest ways to get an everyday dose of CBD is to take it orally. One of the ways it is claimed help maximise the health benefits of CBD is by taking it with fatty acids. Fatty acids can be found in foods like fish, nuts, avocados, etc.
Once the CBD is taken orally, it will travel through the digestive tract into the liver. When it enters the liver, it breaks down. During the breakdown, the potency of the CBD reduces drastically. However, if fatty acids are eaten with the CBD its possible to avoid potency reduction. The fatty acids will act as binding agents for the cannabinoids in the supplement. Not only will the fatty acids maintain the CBD potency, but it will also increase absorption rates.
Using broad-spectrum CBD products
Those who are newbies in the CBD world may be surprised about the different products in the market. When looking to buy CBD products, there are branded full-spectrum, CBD isolates or broad-spectrum options. Isolates at first were the best type of CBD, but it has been disputed over the years.
Nowadays, experts recommend taking a broad-spectrum CBD due to its purity. The main difference between the full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD is that the full-spectrum contains traces of THC. A broad-spectrum CBD will be devoid of THC; thats why it can be sold in nearly every state.
Place the CBD oil under the tongue
Most people dont know that theres a right and wrong way to consume CBD orally. Simply putting the oil into the mouth and immediately swallowing it isnt the right way. It is said that to benefit the most from CBD supplements, they should be placed under the tongue for 30 to 90 seconds. The sublingual gland under the tongue allows for fast CBD absorption into the bloodstream. This method is known as the sublingual method and it allows the CBD to bypass the digestive process and the liver where it breaks down, which may reduce its potency.
When ingested orally, hold the CBD under the tongue before being swallowed, the mucous membranes absorb the compounds and are directly absorbed into the bloodstream.
Its claimed that CBD has many benefits and the above tips are said to help maximise those benefits.

Will Self on being ennobled in the New Year’s honours list – The New European
Posted: at 9:47 pm
WILL SELF on receiving a New Year's honour.
Look, I realise that talk of a happy new year must be anathema to readers of The New European this week: what with Britain ending its transition period with the European Union like some bizarre giant plague ship, under the captaincy of a erstwhile hack with a flair for rhetorical hyperbole and little else. But nevertheless, I do have some glad tidings: I have been ennobled in a New Years honours list. Obviously not in the New Years honours list why would my name appear on that, Im not a Tory party donor or a frontline NHS worker, the two groups almost certain to reap the majority of gongs this year. Nor have I managed to export much in 2020 apart from the occasional article or essay, some of which have been pretty critical of, um, the British Royals.
In truth, Im not quite the republican firebrand I once was in our fractured times there is considerable merit in a Head of State who commands widespread respect, while hopefully repressing any further urges our real governors may have to indulge in ill-advised constitutional tinkering. That being said, the mummery and flummery associated with the Royals Ruritanian fantasy of themselves makes me feel nauseous. For my own part I couldnt bend my knee to any of the top team, given the meagreness of their personal accomplishments. I know a few people whove turned down honours; my friend and mentor, the late JG Ballard, told me he was offered a CBE, but declined it when the committee told him he wouldnt be allowed to style himself Commander Ballard.
Im not sure how Im allowed to style myself now Ive been ennobled but Lord Self would seem most appropriate. I once sat next to the late Edna Healey at a lunch, and was surprised to see Lady Healey written on her place card. "Surely as a socialist you shouldnt assume a title based clearly on might-as-right?"I twitted her, and she snapped back: "I never use it in ordinary life."So I re-snapped: "This is ordinary life youre having lunch."I do have a couple of friends whove been knighted but Ive never said a word about it to either of them, taking the line that its more or less equivalent to having psoriasis: both embarrassing and revolting to look at so surely not the sort of thing youd like remarked upon.
Even so, I expect those whove received titles from their sovereign must feel particularly proud this January given 2021 will go down in history as the year in which her subjects have so clearly asserted their own sovereignty. If youre a knight of this realm you may think no longer being incorporated in the European Union lends your escutcheon more lustre. You arent just a weird hangover from feudalism but a harbinger of a brave new world. Its only embittered malcontents like me who point out that if you have been ennobled in the New Years honours list its probably because youve paid for it, cash down. Moreover, its only defeatist pessimists again, like me who further observe that youve become a Lord or a Lady just in time to witness a once-great nation reduced to the status of some fly-speck landmass whose claim to any significance at all rests on exactly such dubious activities as flogging absurd titles.
At least the nation thats ennobled me the Principality of Sealand knows its a fly-speck of a landmass, while making no bones at all about selling titles; check out their website for a price list: http://www.sealandgov.org. Located seven nautical miles east of the English coastline in an abandoned Second World War gun fort, Sealand was founded in 1967 by Roy Bates, a former British army major. Bates used the doctrines of res derelict and terra nullis to establish Sealands claim to independence; and either because the successive British governments have recognised they have no jurisdiction over the old fort, or because they cant be arsed, the Bates family have continued to rule their 0.004 square kilometre demesne to this day. The current ruler Batess son, Michael styles himself Prince Regent of Sealand, and its he who authorised my Registration Deed.
You may be wondering how I feel now Ive been hoiked up the social scale by means a few quid. Well, the British royal familys motto written rather ironically in Norman French is Dieu et Mon Droit; which can be loosely translated as: We own you, bitches. By contrast, the motto of the right, tight little island I now cleave to is E Mare, Libertas: From the sea, freedom. I know which sentiment I find more appealing and its one the Brexit faction should as well. I know, youre thinking we Lords of Sealand are, by definition, a pretty non-egalitarian bunch, but mark this, and mark it well (thats the sort of expression lords use): Sealand doesnt sell citizenship the way Britain does, so were effectively a nation of nobles rather than commoners. Envious, arent you?

Harry and Meghan’s podcast of political correctness – The Spectator USA
Posted: at 9:46 pm
Why is there not a single trans voice featured in Harry and Meghans first podcast? Its a question that needs answering. The half-hour recording the couples first since signing a $25 million deal with Spotify sets out to explore the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on, as the Duchess herself puts it, people from all walks of life. Given this description, excluding the trans community from participating seems, at best, problematic perhaps even sinister. Why leave trans people out in this most public of discourses?
This editorial decision a slap in the face for an already marginalized community seems all the more surprising because of who has made it. While the rest of us have spent 2020 hunkering down and cursing the gods, Harry and Meghan have made no bones about aggressively pursuing woke dollar. They have unblinkingly positioned themselves as the millennial king and queen of political correctness, frequently releasing videos in which they rail vaguely against privilege. Memorably, Harry used one of these videos to say the British Commonwealth, the institution for which his grandmother is the living embodiment, needs to acknowledge the past even if it is uncomfortable.
Anyway, the podcast deal announced very shortly after the $100 million Netflix deal is the latest escalation in this campaign: a kind of high stakes meta psychodrama in which these two pushy ex royals ride the Windsor family brand as far as they can stateside, at the same time apparently subverting the journalistic media they claim to loathe by lucratively becoming part of it. The company they have formed for this purpose, Archewell, has described the podcasts it will henceforth expensively produce as being to build a community through shared experiences, narratives and values.
The first podcast, trans people ostracization aside, is everything youd expect. It begins with the regal thanking of healthcare and frontline workers (as if the sacrifices these people have made have been made for the duke and duchess themselves). Meghan then rather grandly explains that she has spent the holiday season, not, as you might expect, counting her money, but contemplating all people who have experienced uncertainty and unthinkable loss as a result of COVID-19.
After that, there is just time for Harry to urge listeners to sit back and grab a cozy beverage, before the platitudes begin rolling in, in earnest. Various guests mostly liberal celebrity friends of the couple start by unselfconsciously describing themselves (philanthropist, poet, an explorer of consciousness etc.) before, against a deeply irritating Disney-style soundtrack intended to guide the listeners emotional response, delivering statements such as: humanity is ready for a new story. Through new context, new meanings, new relationships, we are giving birth to a new humanity.
At one point a woman who is described as a person who brings healing to communities of color tells us something I have learned about myself this year is how much of a spiritual practice simplicity and solitude can be. Another described as a democracy advocate tells us: most of all, I gave myself permission to be sad, so I could find joy on the other side.
Throughout, its this type of fare, precisely the sort of thing one suspects that people who have to worry about such base concerns as working to put food on the table, tend not to say to one another. Surprisingly, no one quotes Maya Angelou until the 18th minute, but when it comes its a zinger: my wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are and to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. (You go, Meghan.)
Amazingly, and revealingly, of all the contributors, it is Elton John who sounds most sane and connected to reality. He speaks frankly about the nightmare of alcoholics being unable to attend AA meetings during lockdown and the manner in which normal people have had to deal with losing loved ones and jobs. Its been the worst year Ive ever known, and Im 73, he says.

And then were back to meaningless platitudes. Without the dark, the stars cannot shine, someone says. A self-described street poet tells us: 2020, thats a very hard year for me to call my friend. And then Meghan begins to bring proceedings to a close by informing the listener: no matter what life throws at you, trust us when we say: love wins. Harry agrees. Love always wins, he says, supportively. So true, Meghan adds.
Perhaps there is a demographic that finds this kind of thing not only edifying, but enlightening. If there is, my suspicion is these people value style above substance: they prefer the manner in which things are said in a smoky, croaky, faux intellectual voice, perhaps than the content of what is being said. Certainly, Meghan is very pleased with her voice. She seems lately to have obviously styled her intonations on those of Barack Obama himself, the great liberal deity with the quadrophonic voice. If this podcast venture doesnt work out, shes certainly got a future in the ASMR game.
Ultimately, the podcast is a bit of a cheat the contributions by Meghan and Harry are mercifully minimal. Instead, they use the old trick of all journalists paid by the word for interview pieces: they just provide short links to the words of others. But we will find out more about them as people, presumably, in subsequent episodes, when they will have to sing rather harder for their supper by filling the airtime themselves. Then well really discover the scale of their ambition for world domination, and also, perhaps, the reason for their strange erasing of trans people from the COVID record.

Editor:
As a former Cub and Boy Scout, I was very disappointed when the Boy Scouts caved to political correctness and started enrolling girls. My Boy Scout leaders taught us how to be responsible, caring and productive men. I dont know what the Girl Scouts taught because it was meant for girls.
I was sad to read that the Girl Scouts sued the Boy Scouts over enrollment issues (Legal battle between Girl, Boy Scouts heats up, Reading Eagle, Dec. 27). This is another example of how political correctness is negatively affecting organizations geared to teach boys and girls how to be good people.
It is a shame that this age of ridiculousness has just about ruined two organizations that were founded to educate, encourage and allow youth to develop leadership skills and respect nature.
How about we let boys be boys and girls be girls. Lets appreciate the different developmental needs of boys and girls.
How about we go back to common sense?
How about we stop pretending that all this nonsense is moving our country forward when all its doing is causing more division.
I remember my oath and still try to live by it: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and Country and obey Scout law, to help other people at all times to keep myself physically strong mentally awake and morally straight. How about we go back to that, or does it just make too much sense?

Why is there not a single trans voice featured in Harry and Meghans first podcast? Its a question that needs answering. The half-hour recording the couples first since signing a $25 million deal with Spotify sets out to explore the psychological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on, as the Duchess herself puts it, people from all walks of life. Given this description, excluding the trans community from participating seems, at best, problematic perhaps even sinister. Why leave trans people out in this most public of discourses?
This editorial decision a slap in the face for an already marginalised community seems all the more surprising because of who has made it. While the rest of us have spent 2020 hunkering down and cursing the gods, Harry and Meghan have made no bones about aggressively pursuing woke dollar. They have unblinkingly positioned themselves as the millennial king and queen of political correctness, frequently releasing videos in which they rail vaguely against privilege. Memorably, Harry used one of these videos to say the British Commonwealth, the institution for which his grandmother is the living embodiment, needs to acknowledge the past even if it is uncomfortable.
