Then there’s me hoping I can try CBD supplements. Did FL legalized marijuana too like other blue states? 

Not yet. CBD (hemp oil) and stretches have been helping my knee pain and anxiety since I started last year. 

Just have to make sure the company can actually put out the data to back their purity and process. 

Nice. Meanwhile, doctors here especially pediatricians are begging our government to allow purified, THC free CBD for low income epileptic patients but our president’s response is pretty much fuck that. 

Perhaps I can travel to a country where pot is legal and try one of those CBD supplements myself, granted that the cops won’t ask me to piss on a cup once I arrive back. 

@CUDAcores89 Cannabidiol 

@King Poet but in my shithole country, marijuana and its derivatives like THC and CBD are illegal and aren’t included in our drug formulary.

@CUDAcores89 CBD is short cannabidiol. It's one of, I think, 32 strains of endocannabinoid (phytocannabinoid) compounds that the hemp and cannabis family can produce. The US has allowances for a maximum detectable THC value of 0.03%. The cool thing about non-THC cannabinoids is that you can't overdose on them, unless your pancreas and gallbladder give out trying to absorb or digest oils, and that their very helpful for numerous conditions when used together in a non-isolated form (which is why most pharma companies don't want it), but the marijuana trade is showing pharma that there IS a considerable profit to be made in the research of the plant (hypocrites) and its effects on the ECS that is pretty in quite a lot of animals, including humans, dogs, cats, and strangely birds and reptiles. 

@CUDAcores89 Marijuana has its uses and not many people actually want the high that marijuana produces. Hemp provides more of the benefits without the lethargy, attention issues from overuse, and depression. 

@ARikozuM this could be a research topic for grad school or even for a bachelor’s degree since research on the effects of THC and/or CBD on different body systems (pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics) are quite scanty. 

It's because the FDA requires stringent rules to be followed before research can be conducted. There are also no government grants, that I know of, for research into cannabis. Most of it has to be done by smaller companies in too small a number (X<100) for the FDA to recognize it as usable within its bureaucracy.

An animal rescue, KetoPet, is having great success with ketogenic diets and animals with cancers, but it's not sufficient since the rescue isn't willing to A) kill the dogs for autopsy, B) follow a 1000 dogs all starting at the same time (too time consuming and harmful in a statement they put out), and C) Big Pet companies still calling it anecdotal at best.

Aside: If you're offering more meat to customers, you're cutting into your margins and Big Pet would rather sell General Mill's millings over offering more meat. 

The biggest issue is that CBD isolates are largely ineffective as a treatment. This is why having the full-spectrum ratios, or hybrids, is more effective in most of the Colorado shops. Big Pharma would probably put legislation that requires a doctor's degree or some nonsense to sell or distribute any cannabis.
