Podcast Intro: When people get diagnosed with something either chronic or terminal, they suddenly are at the mercy of their doctors. Because of the overwhelming, people don't always feel competent to stand in their own truth or even ask the right questions.  Many people try to fight diseases with therapy. Unfortunately for others, healing from chronic diseases isn't for them. With the usage of Cannabis and other THC products, people have had the chance to heal and even have much better health in life.  In this episode, Joanna Matson-Tandberg will share her experiences with cannabis and how it is transforming the medicine industry. Stay tuned! What you'll get out of tuning in: How can cannabis aid in the healing of a disease? Can you treat cancer with gummies or other stuff that is sugar-based? What is sublingual? Links/CTA: Yogahealer ongoing FREE Workshops http://zvbotanicals.com https://www.instagram.com/zvrebelwellness/ Highlights: We have a global mental health crisis magnified by and contributes to chronic sleep problems and digestive issues. People need and want to feel empowered and more in control; to be able to do more on their own to improve their health and wellbeing. For people to gain freedom and independence in their lives, and to take back control of their bodies and mind, they need hope, wisdom, and change. We need integrated approaches to self-care, self-love, and daily living routines and habits. People are hungry to learn and access the tools necessary to find contentment in life and freedom to handle daily stress and still stay balanced, grounded, and connected. Magazine Interview Hemp 101- The Basics by Veronica Castillo The French Toast: “The Connection Between Ayurveda, Cannabis, And Psychedelics” by Becky Garrison Radio Interview about Ayurveda on the NOWe show in Canada Cate highlighted that cardiovascular disease is a disease of chronic inflammation. Cate shares her thoughts that there's so much variability in guiding members in a course in terms of the medicine and the dose.  Cate tells a moment when she's going against the culture.

You're going to feel the effects about eight times more than if you're doing a sublingual or a suppository because the way cannabis is metabolized through the liver gives you eight times the increase of sensation.” “It's easy to feel crazy when you're counterculture, but it makes so much sense in your own body and intuition. You feel that you are violating yourself when you venture into something not accepted by a common culture.” Eventually, you start to get your freedom back. You create your power source inside yourself. There is intelligence so much greater than we understand and so much greater than we have. Even though these plants have incredible healing powers, they also have poison powers because too much of anything is bad.” Guest Bio: Joanna Matson-Tandberg ZV Botanicals Founder & CEO, Joanna (Jo) Matson-Tandberg Joanna is the founder and CEO of ZV Botanicals, a lifestyle and wellness brand offering hand-made CBD-infused Ayurvedic formulas, like tinctures, bitters, body oils, and salves.

Some of us come to the power of plant medicine relatively late in life (me for example), while others are practically born into an appreciation of their medicinal benefits. Sarah Russo falls into the latter category. As the daughter of respected cannabinoid researcher and neurologist Dr Ethan Russo, since being a child she has shared his fascination with all things botanical. For over a decade, Sarah was involved with pushing for a change in cannabis legislation in the US, and was very much involved in the formative years of Project CBD. Now living in Ibiza, Spain, Sarah's vision of plant medicine extends well beyond the cannabis plant, and is why she has written the graphic novel, Herbs for the Apocalypse: where plants and punk rock collide in a tale of apocalyptic reckoning. Check out the fantastic website that accompanies the book, which seeks to empower us 'by delving deep into the realms of how herbal medicine can heal and bring us closer to our higher collective evolution.'For more information and to find out how to get hold of the graphic novel go to:https://www.herbsfortheapocalypse.com/Instagram/facebook: @herbsforapocalypseTwitter: @herbsapocalypseCheck out Dr Ethan Russo's fantastic podcast episode explaining clinical endocannabinoid deficiencySupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/marybiles71)

Greg Gerdeman, PhD is a neuroscientist and educator with expertise in the physiological actions of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system. Recently, Greg has gotten involved in the conversation around Delta-8 THC. He comes at the topic from a neuroscientist's perspective questioning how much we know about how Delta-8 THC affects the body and the brain. He also raises important questions about how the compound is created and what that means for consumer safety and the legality of Delta-8 THC products. We discuss: What Delta-8 THC is and how it differs from other THC isomers Why there is a sudden influx of Delta-8 THC products How the 2018 Farm Bill opened the door for Delta-8 THC production The process for creating Delta-8 THC from CBD isolate and the risks associated with it Whether Delta-8 THC is produced in the plant, and at what levels What research has been done to understand how Delta-8 THC affects users and more Thanks to This Episode's Sponsor: Project CBD Project CBD is a California-based nonprofit dedicated to providing up-to-date news and information on the science, movement, and industry around CBD, medical cannabis, and plant-based medicine.

I had the honor of working with Martin in 2017 and always enjoyed our conversations and captivated whenever I heard him speak. His team at Project CBD collaborated with Reader's Digest to write "The Essential Guide to CBD: Everything You Need to Know About What It Helps, Where to Buy, And How to Take It" available now!Martin Lee is a wealth of knowledge and a master wordsmith in his books: 1985 – Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the Sixties Rebellion 1990 – Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media 1997 – The Beast Reawakens: Fascism's Resurgence2012 – Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana – Medical, Recreational, and Scientific His journey led him to co-creating Project CBD in 2009 with fellow journalists who had been covering the medical marijuana story—the science, the movement and the industry. They felt that the reintroduction of CBD-rich cannabis into the grassroots supply merited special attention. The serendipitous reappearance of whole plant CBD in Northern California in 2009 has given doctors and patients a unique opportunity to evaluate the effects of cannabidiol. Project CBD updates doctors and patients on developments in cannabis science, therapeutics and political economy.MY NOTES & RESOURCESCommunity building botanical Bottom line CBD helps people, but not intrinsically psychoactive, Plays a role in the drug addiction, accelerated because of help with addiction. Bring people into the fold because of cbd rich,Community building factor of cannabis, protect from big business, 2013 Dr. Sanjay Gupta can world found out they didn't have to smoke or get high. 2009 Project CBD started giving thousands of clones, then shifted to what products should be made with cbd, 2017/2018 farm bill.

Martin A. Lee is an award winning journalist and author who as well as cannabis has written  about fascism, media fairness, drug policy and the social history of LSD. Most people in the cannabis industry know Martin as the founder of Project CBD, a respected educational cannabis nonprofit that promotes and publicises research into the medical uses of  CBD and other components of the cannabis plant.In this episode, Martin shares how back in 2008, as one of the few journalists  attending the early International Cannabinoid Research Society symposiums, he was fascinated by the preclinical studies showing the  therapeutic potential of CBD in a host of health conditions.However, on returning to California, he realised that  only high THC cannabis was available to patients  with no mention made of CBD.And so began his hunt for CBD-rich cannabis cultivars. His quest was eventually rewarded  with the discovery of about six varietals, which Martin and a small group of other CBD enthusiasts began giving away to patients, dispensaries and growers in California.  And so in 2009 Project CBD was born, without which the Stanley Brothers probably wouldn't have known to grow a CBD-rich strain of cannabis in Colorado,  the world may not have heard about how CBD reduced the seizures of Charlotte Figi, and the current global CBD phenomenon quite possibly would not have been born.

“The FDA and CBD have a tripolar relationship. Hemp CBD is not scheduled. CBD from cannabis is Schedule 1--dangerous. Epidolex is Schedule 5--safe.” In 10 years CBD (cannabidiol) has gone from being a relatively unknown substance to a ubiquitous health and wellness balm sold in gas stations, corner grocers' and thousands of websites. Because it is still unregulated in the US, manufacturers make all sorts of breathless claims about what it can do. It stops epileptic seizures! Eases your dog’s arthritis! Erases your frown lines! And while some of these claims may be true it’s no surprise that a CBD backlash has started. Perhaps you’ve read reports about the “toxicity” of CBD or its potential to “damage our livers in the same ways as alcohol and other drugs” or that it is dangerous to take with Tylenol. Or maybe you've read FDA iwarnings that it can cause suicidal thoughts or increase tendency toward depression, aggression or panic attacks. To set the record straight, I called Adrian Devitt Lee, Project CBD’s chief science writer and a PhD candidate in applied math at the University College in London. Adrian is the co-author of several articles in peer-reviewed journals (check out Is CBD Toxic to the Liver and CBD and Drug Interactions) and has been involved in cannabinoid research since 2011 at California Pacific Medical Center, Medicinal Genomics, and CannaCraft. What you’ll hear in this interview might shock you but likely won’t surprise you. PS. As listeners to this podcast know, old myths about cannabis (and new myths about CBD) take on a life of their own. For context on how some myths die hard I’m including this article by the always brilliant Dr. Peter Attia on monosodium glutamate (MSG). Even though MSG has been proven safe for 60 years, it’s still falsely accused of causing “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.” Attia traces the origin of the myth and how it continues to trump scientific evidence. Cannabis has been used for over 5,000 years with no serious harms ever reported yet the myths keep coming.

Can CBD really improve our health? Scientific research indicates great potential for treating everything from anxiety to Alzheimer’s to autoimmune diseases. Martin Lee, journalist, author and co-founder of California-based non-profit Project CBD, discusses the latest findings, the difference between CBD and THC, and how athletes are using CBD for both pre-covery and recovery. “I would go so far as to say I don’t know a better drug, or a better substance, for anxiety.”https://www.projectcbd.org/Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana by Martin Lee

Martin Lee, is the founder of Project CBD. He is an award winning Investigative Botanical Science reporter that began following the early CBD phenomena at conferences where international scientists were beginning to get excited about its potential. He talks about the paradoxical and complex plant that therapeutically behaves more like an herb and less like a pharmaceutical and recounts the groundbreaking research studies that revealed the Endocannabinoid System. Lee describes cannabis as a gateway for the world to appreciate other herbs and healing modalities that also work to enhance the ECS's function. He is the author of several books, including most recently Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana – Medical, Recreational and Scientific. The American Botanical Council gave Smoke Signals its James A. Duke Excellence in Botanical Literature Award. Named by High Times as one of the 100 most influential people in cannabis, Lee is the recipient of the Emerald Cup's Lifetime Achievement award.Useful linkshttps://www.projectcbd.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-a-lee/To learn more about plants & your health from Colleen at LabAroma check out this informative PDF: https://mailchi.mp/2fe0e426b244/osw1lg2dkhDisclaimer: The information presented in this podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace professional medical advice.

Dr Max Alzamora, a physician of over ten years with a background in functional medicine and occupational health, has been prescribing medical cannabis since 2017.Dr Alzamora now runs CannaHope, a busy private practice specialising in treating patients with cannabinoid, is Medical Director at Cann Farm, Advisory Doctor at the NGO Gotas de Esperanza, and Board Member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians Colombian chapter. I came across Dr Alzamora in a presentation he gave at a Society of Cannabis Clinicians' webinar in which he discussed the case of Glendy, a 16-year-old girl who had been having 10 seizures a day, despite all the pharmaceutical anti-seizure meds she was taking. After trying various CBD oils, Glendy found most relief from her seizures when Dr Alzamora prescribed her a cannabis oil containing CBDA (she now only has 10 seizures a year).At the time, I was researching an article for Project CBD about CBDA, so I took the opportunity to interview Dr Alzamora about Glendy's case history and his use of acidic cannabinoids, as well as his experience in general of treating patients with medical cannabis in Peru.It was a real pleasure to hear just what strides Peru and Latin America are making in integrating medical cannabis into their health systems, where doctors like Dr Alzamora have comparative freedom to think outside of the box when treating patients with cannabinoids.

If you work in the cannabis business, you've probably heard of the endocannabinoid system, you might even talk about it in your marketing materials to explain why customers should buy your products. The sad truth is though, for the vast majority of the population, doctors included, the endocannabinoid system isn't even on their radar.If you're listening today, you may have a cursory knowledge of how the endocannabinoid system works, but even the scientific researchers we so admire would admit much still remains to be learned about its significance to our health and wellbeing. So for any of the endocannabinoid-curious amongst us, this podcast with neuroscientist Dr Greg Gerdeman is essential listening. Greg has been involved with many key discoveries regarding the ECS and for many years taught marine biology college students at Eckerd College in Florida about the ECS and neurobiology. So if like me, you never made it past high school science classes, listening to Greg share his knowledge about the endocannabinoid system, human biology and our evolution as a species is a real privilege normally reserved for undergrad students.

Episode 7 of Cannabis Voices is dedicated to the memory of George Gannon, the 30-year-old British man who sadly lost his battle to cancer in March this year.Told through the words of his partner, Natalie, she bravely shares their journey through cancer, how the medical profession gave up on George, and how if it were not for Natalie's determination to find alternatives (which included cannabis), George would have died 18 months earlier.I won't lie, Natalie's story makes for hard listening, the pain and grief are still present in her voice. But she is determined to keep George's memory alive. George's story is just one of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients around the world who are hoping cannabis will work where conventional medicine has failed. Many have achieved extraordinary results, but it's a difficult path to take coming with all the dangers associated with sourcing cannabis oil (in high quantities) from the black market. But it's also a story of hope. How in the midst of tragedy, love and community flourish.ResourcesArticle for Project CBD, inspired by George's tumour reduction after taking cannabis oil.

We were once carefree below-the-line film and TV workers: I did props and set dressing and Dave was an Assistant Director and occasional actor. Then we were thrust into family caregiving when my mom was suddenly diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. We learned so much from my mother's decade-long journey that I felt we had to share our best practices with other families in crisis. We created AlzNotes.com to provide care gap training and plant based education to others in relationship with dementia. My mom transitioned to Pure Positive Energy in 2019. Cannabis Helps Dementia podcast was born out of my desire to shout from the rooftops how we and others have eased the suffering of loved ones living with dementia by using a medicinal herb where there is no other relief available. You'll hear the science and stories of how cannabis helps ease the difficult behavioral symptoms caused by dementing illnesses. One of the things we learned on this life-changing journey was that the United States Department of Health has held a patent since 1998 specifically for neuroprotection which inspired us to do more research. Patent # 6630507B1 “...cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia…” When we started to get serious about this research, we learned about Dr. Ethan Russo, who is a world renowned neurologist, psychopharmacology researcher, former Senior Medical Advisor to GW Pharmaceuticals (GW created Epidiolex and Sativex, cannabis based medications for epilepsy and MS symptoms) and he is a member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians. Dr. Russo is a badass rockstar of medical cannabis research and among many other things, he wrote a review article in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, “Cannabis Therapeutics and the Future of Neurology” that really got my attention. Dr. Russo gives the reader an introduction to cannabis medicine, then shows us the studies that have already been done that show how cannabis helps multiple neurological issues including epilepsy, brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's Disease and of course, Alzheimer's.

In this episode of CannMed Coffee Talk we talk with Martin A. Lee, the co-founder and director of Project CBD. In addition to creating content for the Project CBD website and speaking at conferences around the globe, Martin has authored several books, including Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana–Medical, Recreational and Scientific. In fact, we have a copy in our Medicinal Genomics office.    Martin and I discussed the topic everyone is talking about, COVID-19. Martin has reviewed the scientific literature to find out whether CBD can calm the cytokine storm that the COVID virus can set off, whether CBD has anti-viral properties, and if cannabis is an immune system booster, suppressant, or both. As you can imagine, with a virus as new and novel as COVID-19 and a federal ban on cannabis, the research is far from conclusive. But I think you will see there is some potential and some areas that merit future research. Who knows, maybe we will see some compelling data at a future CannMed event.   Click the player below to listen, and thanks to our sponsor, Project CBD!

Professor Manuel Guzman is Professor of Molecular Biology at the Complutense University in Madrid where he has been a leading light in discovering the anticancer properties of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. He led the team behind the first ever clinical trial for THC as an antitumoral agent in the rare type of brain cancer, glioblastoma. I recorded this interview for an article for Project CBD examining just how close we are to the approval of a cannabis-based anticancer drug, but managed to draw Manuel into a whole host of fascinating topics, on which he talked openly and frankly. Highlights include: A summary of how near or far we are away from a cannabis-based cancer drug.How the bar is set higher for cannabinoids compared to other areas of research.What other types of cancer are likely to move onto the clinical studies stage in cannabinoid research.Manuel's view on GW Pharma's 'mining' of the cannabis field with patents for different types of cannabinoid combinations and diseases. Why a cannabis-based cancer drug will always be trialled alongside standard treatments such as chemo or radiotherapy.Practical advice from Manuel for patients with cancer about how to safely use cannabis oil. The biphasic effect of THC and how this may influence its antitumoral activity.An explanation of the difference between tolerability and tolerance.A call to action to patients to play their part in the normalisation of cannabis by telling their doctors about their cannabis use.

A few months ago, I interviewed Dr Claude Cyr, a Canadian family doctor and author of a number of peer reviewed papers about the use of cannabis in palliative care for an article I was writing for Project CBD.Dr Cyr describes palliative care as the best 'port of entry' for integrating cannabis into medicine because it is one of the only disciplines where physicians actually have the time needed to spend with patients.He says: "Palliative care is a specific situation where we can actually put into question the core philosophy of medicine which is the evidence based paradigm. I think physicians need to stop obsessing over the evidence when their patients are dying and clearly telling them, ‘I’m really enjoying this, I’m getting huge benefits from this, I’m sleeping better, I’m eating better.’ But the physicians are nodding their heads and saying, ‘I hear you, but I can’t accept this because I’m still lacking evidence.’“But I think there is enough data out there to convince physicians that it’s safe for palliative care patients, and it’s predictable.” I particularly enjoyed discussing with Dr Cyr how the psychoactive nature of the cannabis plant can actually have a therapeutic place in end-of-life care, potentially helping a patient to accept their death. “When you look at the studies of psychedelics in depression and existential anxiety in cancer patients, some of these results have been dramatic,” says Dr Cyr. “Although cannabis isn’t a true psychedelic, there are some similar experiences that patients tell us about."At smaller doses patients experience a psycholytic effect, a lowering of the defences allowing people to explore other aspects of their psyche, and that’s when they start making connections between different aspects of their reality.”A great, informative interview to be enjoyed.Useful links:Doctors for Responsible Access.

In this episode, we get a primer on cannabis science with Zoe Sigman, program director of Project CBD and science editor of Broccoli Magazine. Zoe guides us through the history of cannabis research, explaining how scientists discovered the endocannabinoid system (aka the ECS): the system in our body that interacts with cannabis. Basically…. WTF is the ECS? What else does it do? And do we even need weed in order to keep this system healthy? Zoe updates us on the latest science and explains what we're still learning/that there is still a lot to learn. Plus: can we trust the claims being made by cannabis brands? Zoe untangles the complex relationship between regulations and research, and offers some tips on making educated choices.

You may have noticed that people use CBD for a wide range of health concerns, including anxiety, depression, pain relief, insomnia and other sleep struggles, and digestive issues. People even give CBD to their animal companions for various ailments. This might lead you to wonder... Why does CBD work so well for so many different health concerns? How is this possible? How can a substance be so safe, yet so powerful? The answer? We are hard-wired for CBD use! To understand how CBD works in the body, let's explore the Endocannabinoid System. This article continues below the video and podcast. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMbp4wH0b4k[/embed] You can also learn more about our CBD Health and Wellness podcast. [audio mp3="https://cbdhealthwellness.info/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Endocannabinoid-System.mp3"][/audio] What are endocannabinoids? In the 1990s, scientists discovered endocannabinoids, which are natural cannabis-like molecules produced by the human body. They began to realize cannabis exerted its effects, in part, by mimicking our endocannabinoids. While trying to understand the effects of the cannabis plant, they discovered a complex cell-signaling system and named it the endocannabinoid system (more on that shortly). The word "endocannabinoid" stems from endogenous (a substance or process originating from within an organism, tissue, or cell) and cannabinoid (named for the plant, cannabis).  The terms "endocannabinoid" and "endogenous cannabinoid" refer to the same thing and are used interchangeably. It is believed that the endocannabinoid system, present in all mammals (and many other animals), evolved in primitive animals over 600 million years ago. Humans and animals naturally synthesize endocannabinoids, which are chemical compounds that activate the same receptors as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the best-known active component of marijuana (Cannabis sativa). Endocannabinoids help keep internal bodily functions running smoothly. Several endocannabinoids have been identified so far, but the two key players are anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglyerol (2-AG). These endocannabinoids are made from fat-like molecules within cell membranes, and are synthesized on-demand. This means that your body makes and uses them exactly when they’re needed, rather than packaged and stored for later use like many other biological molecules. AEA and THC are similar, but AEA doesn't get you high like THC does (CBD does not cause a "high"). AEA does have a calming effect, though. In fact, it gets its name from ananda, the Sanskrit word for bliss. What are cannabinoids? Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that trigger cannabinoid (and other) receptors in the body. More than 100 cannabinoids have been identified in Cannabis sativa plants (hemp and marijuana belong to this plant family). The two most commonly studied (and used) cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is an established scientific fact that cannabinoids and other components of cannabis can modulate many physiological systems in the human brain and body. There is a massive (and rapidly growing!) body of evidence that supports the existence of the system and the therapeutic benefits of CBD. In the brain, cannabinoids and endocannabinoids work as neurotransmitters (chemical messengers that deliver information from one cell to the next.) Neurotransmitters all interact with a lot of different receptors and thus have a lot of different effects. Experts aren’t completely sure how CBD interacts with the ECS. But they do know that it doesn’t bind to CB1 or CB2 receptors the way THC does. Instead, many believe it works by preventing endocannabinoids from being broken down. This allows them to have more of an effect on your body. Others believe that CBD binds to a receptor that hasn’t been discovered yet. We will discuss receptors in more detail shortly. What is the Endocannabinoid System? The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological system which plays many important roles in the human body. It is responsible for the physical and psychological effects of cannabis. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment. In the introduction to Getting High on the Endocannabinoid System, Dr. Bradley Alger eloquently described the ECS: The endogenous cannabinoid system—named for the plant that led to its discovery—is one of the most important physiologic systems involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. With its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and virtually all of the body’s organs, the endocannabinoids are literally a bridge between body and mind. By understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that could connect brain activity and states of physical health and disease. The ECS exists and is active in your body even if you don’t use cannabis. Its functioning depends on many factors, including genetics, age, stress levels, diet, and overall level of health. Not only is the ECS a natural bodily system - it's a very important one. You may have heard a lot of claims about the medicinal properties of marijuana or about THC and CBD. Some of those claims may seem to be too good to be true, but research supports many of them. The reason for the far-reaching effects have to do with the wonders of the endocannabinoid system itself. As Dr. Dustin Sulak explains in The Endocannabinoid System, Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological life, from the sub-cellular, to the organism, and perhaps to the community and beyond. Here's one example: autophagy, a process in which a cell sequesters part of its contents to be self-digested and recycled, is mediated by the cannabinoid system. While this process keeps normal cells alive, allowing them to maintain a balance between the synthesis, degradation, and subsequent recycling of cellular products, it has a deadly effect on malignant tumor cells, causing them to consume themselves in a programmed cellular suicide. The death of cancer cells, of course, promotes homeostasis and survival at the level of the entire organism. Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids are also found at the intersection of the body's various systems, allowing communication and coordination between different cell types. At the site of an injury, for example, cannabinoids can be found decreasing the release of activators and sensitizers from the injured tissue, stabilizing the nerve cell to prevent excessive firing, and calming nearby immune cells to prevent release of pro-inflammatory substances. Three different mechanisms of action on three different cell types for a single purpose: minimize the pain and damage caused by the injury. The presence and critical functions of the ECS across many systems of the body, including the nervous and immune systems, explains why such a wide variety of ailments and disease states are responsive to cannabis-based interventions - including the use of CBD. The three main components of the ECS are: Endocannabinoids, small molecules that activate cannabinoid receptors Cannabinoid receptors, which are located in the nervous system and throughout the body - endocannabinoids and cannabinoids bond with them Enzymes that help break down endocannabinoids and cannabinoids after they are used These functions all contribute to homeostasis, which refers to the stability of your internal environment. For example, if an outside force, such as pain from an injury or a fever, throws off your body’s homeostasis, your ECS kicks in to help your body return to its ideal operation. What are cannabinoid receptors? Cannabinoid receptors sit on the surface of cells and “listen” to conditions outside the cell. They transmit information about changing conditions to the inside of the cell, jump-starting the appropriate cellular response. We have (at least) two types of cannabinoid receptors: CB1 - in the central nervous system (brain and nerves of the spinal cord) CB2 - in the peripheral nervous system (nerves in your extremities), the digestive system, and specialized cells in the immune system Cannabinoid receptors are believed to be among the most plentiful in our central nervous system, and some researchers hypothesize that we could have a third, undiscovered one, as well. CB1 and CB2 are expressed in mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish. Endocannabinoids can bind to either receptor. The effects that result depend on where the receptor is located and which endocannabinoid it binds to. For example, endocannabinoids might target CB1 receptors in a spinal nerve to relieve pain. Others might bind to a CB2 receptor in your immune cells to signal that your body’s experiencing inflammation, a common sign of autoimmune disorders. Initially, research suggested endocannabinoid receptors were only present in the brain and nerves, but scientists later found that the receptors are present throughout the body, including our skin, immune cells, bone, fat tissue, liver, pancreas, skeletal muscle, heart, blood vessels, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract. Through those receptors, the ECS helps regulate a lot of important functions, such as: appetite and digestion metabolism immune function chronic pain inflammation mood sleep reproduction/fertility motor control temperature regulation memory and learning cardiovascular functioning muscle formation bone health liver function pleasure/reward stress skin and nerve function [activecampaign form=1] What role do enzymes play? When endocannabinoids have finished their job and brought things into balance within the body, certain enzymes come along to break them down and prevent them from going too far and upsetting the balance in the opposite direction. The two main enzymes that are responsible for breaking down endocannabinoids once they’ve carried out their functions are: fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), which breaks down AEA monoacylglycerol acid lipase (MAGL), which breaks down 2-AG These enzymes ensure that endocannabinoids get used when they’re needed, but not for longer than necessary. This distinguishes endocannabinoids from many other molecular signals in the body, such as hormones or classical neurotransmitters, which can persist for many seconds or minutes, or get packaged and stored for later use. CBD can affect overall levels of endocannabinoids in the brain, referred to as “endocannabinoid tone.” CBD inhibits the FAAH enzyme, which as explained above, breaks down anandamide. This means CBD can increase anandamide levels by preventing FAAH from breaking it down. Inhibiting the FAAH enzyme has been shown to be a useful strategy for treating anxiety disorders - some of CBD’s anti-anxiety properties may come from its ability to inhibit this enzyme, in other words. What is Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency? When the ECS becomes dysregulated, this is called clinical endocannabinoid deficiency. Experts believe this dysfunction is likely implicated in nearly all disease conditions. According to U.S. National Institutes of Health scientists Pal Pacher and George Kunos, “Modulating endocannabinoid system activity may have therapeutic potential in almost all diseases affecting humans, including obesity/metabolic syndrome, diabetes and diabetic complications, neurodegenerative, inflammatory, cardiovascular, liver, gastrointestinal, skin diseases, pain, psychiatric disorders, cachexia, cancer, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting among many others.” Project CBD elaborates: When the endocannabinoid system doesn’t function properly, our health suffers. By modulating the endocannabinoid system and improving endocannabinoid tone, CBD and THC can slow, or in some cases stop, the progression of various diseases. Dr. Ethan Russo, a board-certified neurologist and psychopharmacology researcher, believes that many chronic diseases may be caused by clinical endocannabinoid deficiency. In an interview with Project CBD, Dr. Russo explained what a deficiency of endocannabinoid function might look like: If you don’t have enough endocannabinoids you have pain where there shouldn’t be pain. You would be sick, meaning nauseated. You would have a lowered seizure threshold. And just a whole litany of other problems. It occurred to me that a number of very common diseases seem to fit a pattern that would be consistent with an endocannabinoid deficiency, specially these are migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, and fibromyalgia. They have some things in common. They’re all hyper-algesic syndromes, meaning that there’s seems to be pain out of proportion to what should be going on, in other words you can look at the tissues they look okay, but there’s biochemically something that’s driving the pain. (source) To read Dr. Russo's 2016 paper on endocannabinoid deficiency, please click here: Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Reconsidered: Current Research Supports the Theory in Migraine, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel, and Other Treatment-Resistant Syndromes Which conditions may cannabinoids help? Cannabinoids are being researched as potential treatments for all kinds of conditions, not just those involving endocannabinoid deficiency. Many studies have already revealed that CBD may be therapeutic for many conditions, including but not limited to: Alzheimer's disease addiction and alcoholism anxiety cancer cardiovascular disease diabetes depression digestive issues epilepsy and seizure disorders insomnia and sleep disorders neurological, neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric illnesses acute and chronic kidney disease autoimmune diseases chronic inflammatory diseases chronic pain conditions So, there you have it!

Today, Neal is joined by author and co-founder of Project CBD, Martin A. Lee. CBD is the latest drug craze and with good reason. It has applications from lowering anxiety, to pain relief, to calming neurological disorders. However, as a derivative of hemp, its research and distribution can be stymied be narcotic laws. Martin explains to us a bit of its history including prohibition; the science of how it interacts with the other compounds of hemp, especially THC; the research being put into finding the right dosages and cannabinoid combinations for various ailments; regulation; and what he hopes will become of the medical cannabis industry.

In the last two years interest in CBD outpaced THC and has yet to peak. The world is awash in CBD, but because the market is unregulated, it’s difficult to know what you’re buying. Confusion abounds.This episode is supported by Medical Cannabis Mentor: The finest evidenced-based cannabis education courses for healthcare professionals, dispensary personnel and patients. Ask about special pricing for listeners of the this podcast!A few months ago I heard a rumor that CBD was getting more Google searches than God. I couldn’t find any evidence verifying that, but Google did reveal this surprising trend:CBD vs THCIn the last two years interest in CBD outpaced THC and has yet to peak. The world is awash in CBD, but because the market is unregulated, it’s difficult to know what you’re buying. Confusion abounds. And for good reasons. Recent reports show that labels on the bottle sometimes bear no relationship to the oil or tincture inside. Some CBD oils have high levels of THC (the standard amount is just .3%, which is too low to cause any sort of high); other brands contain no CBD whatsoever. Too many claim to have a certain number of mgs of CBD but when tested, are shown to be wildly inaccurate. Other issues to beware: Is your CBD free of contaminants? Much of the CBD from China or Eastern Europe was grown on soil that may be contaminated by industrial waste. If a product hasn’t been tested by an independent, 3rd party lab, you’ll never know for sure. And if it has been tested, where can you see the results? Transparent companies post results on their websites. The terms on the label are also perplexing: Here’s a quick guide to an isolate versus a full spectrum or broad spectrum oil. CBD Isolate is pure CBD extracted from hemp with no other cannabinoids. It is dried and crystalized, and many contend it is less effective than Full Spectrum CBD, which is extracted from hemp with all of the accompanying cannabinoids, including that tiny amount of THC. Broad Spectrum is CBD is Full Spectrum, but with all of the THC removed. Finally, there’s the price -- a sore spot for anyone on a low or fixed income. It’s not uncommon to find a 1000mg bottle of CBD costing $60. At 25mg twice a day that comes to over $1000 a year, which is sky high for a product produced from a plant that grows wild almost everywhere in the world. The best way I can contribute to stopping shoddy business practices is through education. That’s why this episode features Martin Lee, Director of Project CBD, the California-based nonprofit that has been disseminating research about this cannabinoid long before it was a Google trend. Martin tackles the challenges of navigating the unregulated market to find good, reliable medicine. Our second interview is with Dr. Junella Chin (featured several times in previous episodes on our podcast), who has treated over 10,000 patients with CBD in the last 15 years. She offers practical advice about using it for maximum impact. If you know of a reputable CBD brand that is transparent in its growing and extraction practices and affordable, please let us know.

Brooke Brun and Katie Moodie are the Co-Founders of KB Pure Essentials, a lifestyle company offering an all-natural line of wellness and beauty products formulated with CBD. Their goal is to bring the life- and health-changing benefits of CBD to every individual through easy accessibility, while leading the way in community education.   I've tried a lot of CBD oil products, and I can tell you there's a lot of junk out there – but KB Pure Essentials just works. That's why I feature their products on my website, because I only want offer my clients the most effective and most natural options.   Katie and Brooke met through a Craigslist rental listing in 2009, and they have been best friends ever since. In 2013, wanting to spend more time together and create a business that suited their lifestyles, they decided to launch an all-natural wellness brand. At that time, they were actually not using CBD oil.   But Brooke has epilepsy, and she began to suffer from the side effects of her anti-seizure medication. She believed there had to be a better and more natural way to treat her condition.   They started researching CBD and found that it was being used to treat children with epilepsy. Unfortunately, none of the CBD products on the market at that time seemed to work, and most of them were being formulated from cannabis (as opposed to hemp), which still contained THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana.   “It's hard to wrap my brain around, now, that you had to do something illegal in order to get a better quality of life, and that didn't seem right. I thought there had to be a better way!” –Brooke Brun   They decided to make the CBD oil themselves and incorporate it into their product line – not only did it help Brooke, it was an almost immediate success for their business. As a result, they rebranded to focus exclusively on wellness products using hemp-extracted CBD oil in 2015.   Want to learn more about CBD oil?   Check out a previous episode in which we debunk CBD myths: https://thomunderwood.net/project/ep-20/ (Ep. 20 – Smashing the Stigma: CBD Oil Doesn't Get You High (and Other Fun Facts) – with Dr Stephen Cabral) One of Brooke & Katie's favorite sources is the nonprofit Project CBD: www.projectcbd.org/about/what-cbd   Check out some of the KB Essentials products:   Their best seller: 125mg CBD Hemp Oil (0.5 fl.oz.)

How the perception of CBD changed with Martin A. Lee is the co-founder and director of Project CBD. Martin is also the author of several books, including Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana–Medical, Recreational and Scientific, which received the American Botanical Council's James A. Duke Award for Excellence in Botanical Literature. Project CBD is a California-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting and publicizing research into the medical uses of cannabidiol (CBD) and other components of the cannabis plant. Project CBD provides educational services for physicians, patients, industry professionals, and the general public. Lee said this to NowThis News: “We were the first group, actually to advocate the medical marijuana community in California about CBD. We were involved in introducing CBD, both physically, the plants, and in terms of education to emphasize that there are other options besides the THC orientation the ‘get high' orientation for medical cannabis.” He said he's not entirely sure how to feel about CBD's current popularity, but he emphasizes that cannabis has far more to offer. “CBD, you can kind of think of it as kind of a medical rockstar, but when you really get down into it, it's the combination of CBD and the other parts of the plant." We expand on what he witnessed on how the perception of CBD changed over the years. As well as What are the main contributors this shift, What other parts of the plant are powerful in combination with CBD, and much more. Named by High Times as one of the 100 most influential people in cannabis, he is the 2016 winner of the Emerald Cup's Lifetime Achievement Award.
