Education?

The current changes in the regulatory space, concerning Hemp products, have become increasingly more complex in the last year. Recently, the massive outflow of different companies, with various claims, has many wondering what changed in the past few years and even more importantly, what would be the best way to approach this new ecosystem.

What is CBD?

CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring substance that has been used for a diverse set of reasons. No, CBD does not create a psychoactive effect and there aren’t any occurrences of CBD addiction. Human beings produce cannabinoids naturally and the receptors for these cannabinoids (CB1 and CB2), each deal with various areas of the brain and immune system. CBD is extracted from the Hemp plant, to act as a supplement to these naturally occurring functions.

Legality

The Farm Bill

In December of 2018, Congress passed H.R. 5485. This bill legalizes hemp and removes it as a Schedule I of the Control Substances Act.

The bill ultimately legalized hemp and hemp products on a federal level and as a result, Hemp is no longer considered a harmful crop. This leaves specific regulatory requirements up to the states, which means that each state can choose how to regulate the growth, processing, extraction, and sale of hemp and CBD products. If a state chooses, they can default to the requirements created by the USDA.

What Products Can I Trust?

CBD products, with the exception of Epidiolex, have not been approved by the FDA. To help guide your decision making process, the team at Elysian Bioscience has provided a list of factors that should be considered, among others, in attempting to find the best products on the market:

Labs

The product should have lab results from an accredited laboratory. These lab results will provide the level insight necessary to understand the quality of the CBD being purchased.

Source

Identifying the source of the product is essential, especially since there aren’t any standardized processes surrounding the growth, extraction, and manufacturing of CBD products. Be certain that the company is using CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) and that their facility and processes have been certified by their local health departments.

Dosage

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL before you decide what level of CBD is necessary for your specific need. Labels can be deceiving and your specific need should be addressed by a professional, before you attempt to find a proper dosage.
