Take Action Now to Protect CBD!

The House Agriculture Committee is considering amendments to the upcoming Farm Bill. We need to act fast to oppose a terrible amendment that would federally ban all ingestible hemp products with any level of THC. 

This would destroy a huge percentage of the industry, including many CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil products that have many health-supporting cannabinoids along with naturally-occurring but non-intoxicating levels of THC.

You can read the text of the amendment here. 

We must oppose this amendment and preserve our access to CBD and full-spectrum hemp oil products. Write to your member of Congress to oppose this amendment!

• My entire family has found CBD oil to help with both sleep and pain.  I give the brand we’ve had success with here:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/01/16/ldn-cbd/  (I am not affiliated with ANY companies).  It is potent.  The company has other strengths & combinations as well.

• The important takeaway is this:  

CBD is what pharmacologists call a promiscuous drug. That means it could be effective for treating a number of medical conditions. In broad strokes, CBD affects more than one process in the body – a term called polypharmacology – and so could benefit more than one medical condition.

As of early 2023, there are 202 ongoing or completed scientific trials examining the effectiveness of CBD in humans on such diverse disorders as chronic pain, substance use disorders, anxiety and arthritis.

In particular, CBD appears to be an anti-inflammatory agent and analgesic, similar to the functions of aspirin. This means it might be helpful for treating people suffering with inflammatory pain, like arthritis, or headaches and body aches.

CBD also holds potential for use in cancer therapy, although it has not been approved by the FDA for this purpose.

And this, right here, is why it simply must go.  It does too many things simultaneously that interferes with Big Pharma profits and since most of our politicians are all in bed with Big Pharma, there is a concerted effort to ban it, plain and simple.
