Be Prepared for Patients to Ask About CBD Cannabidiol (CBD) products are moving into some pharmacies and mainstream retailers...not just smoke shops, dispensaries, etc. CBD and THC are cannabinoids found in two varieties of the cannabis plant...marijuana and hemp. CBD doesn't cause a "high" like THC. Hemp with 0.3% THC or less is no longer a federally controlled substance and is a legal source of CBD...after last year's Farm Bill. But cannabis STATE laws vary. For example, cannabis is fully legal in California...but all forms are illegal in Idaho. FDA regulations add to the confusion. They say CBD can't be sold as a supplement...since it was first approved as an Rx drug (Epidiolex). But CBD is allowed in hemp-derived "cosmetics"...creams, lotions, etc. This leaves a lot of murkiness with CBD...especially with orals, tinctures, foods, etc...and enforcement is spotty. So far, the most conclusive evidence is with Epidiolex...a purified CBD solution approved for two rare and severe seizure disorders. Emphasize that there's not good evidence yet to support popular CBD claims...such as relieving chronic pain, anxiety, or insomnia. And the variety of CBD products leaves many unknowns about their safety, quality, dosing, etc. In general, recommend avoiding CBD in pregnant or breastfeeding women...and lean away from it in patients taking multiple meds. Educate that CBD may cause drowsiness, diarrhea, etc...and using it with CNS depressants (benzos, opioids, etc) may worsen sedation. Be aware of many potential interactions. For example, CBD inhibits CYP2C8, 2C9, and 2C19...and might raise levels of meds such as amitriptyline, valproic acid, and warfarin. Or CBD levels might be increased by CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as clarithromycin. Plus high CBD doses are linked to elevated liver function tests. Explain most urine drug tests check for THC...not CBD. But high CBD doses with trace amounts of THC...or impure products...could lead to a positive THC test. If patients plan to try CBD, suggest checking the product for a "certificate of analysis" from an independent lab. This doesn't confirm safety or efficacy...but shows levels of CBD, THC, and contaminants.

Confused about all the conflicting reports about whether or not to use hand sanitizer this flu season? Wondering how effective non-toxic, “green” cleaners are against the H1N1 virus? Worried about the kinds of cleansers your family and pets are exposed to? Me, too!!! As a mother of three kids in public schools, I am very concerned about making sure my children remain healthy, despite the fact that we haven't had access to H1N1 vaccines yet. Fortunately, Mike Krall, CEO of PURE Bioscience, has the information we're all looking for. Tune in to Go Green Radio this week, when I will ask Mike how his patented product, SDC, may very well be the most significant and environmentally safe answer to many of the public health threats of the 21st century…and most importantly…where we, the consumers, can get it!
