5 Reasons Why Medical Cannabis Programs Are Still Needed After Legalization

Cannabis legalization is a good thing. Although, unfortunately, the rise of legalization has resulted in medical cannabis programs being rolled back. That has certainly been the case in Washington and Oregon, and is likely to happen in other states that voted to legalize. The reasoning that some elected officials have offered up is that if cannabis is legal for all adults, why is medical cannabis still needed? I often get asked if it's even worth still being a patient in a legal state. I live in Oregon, and despite cannabis being legal here, I am still a registered medical cannabis…

What’s the Deal with CBD Water?

Apparently, you can put CBD in just about anything. If topical creams, candies, and flower weren’t enough, a few genius brands have figured out how to infuse CBD into water. This is a mildly amazing feat, considering that oil and water typically don’t mix. Perhaps needless to say, a little science is necessary to unite the two together. To successfully merge CBD in a water substance, manufacturers use a special kind of nanotechnology to emulsify CBD particles with another water-soluble compound. The result is an antioxidant-infused water with evenly dispersed amounts of CBD. This nanotechnology was originally developed as a…

You’ve heard about CBD… What about CBDa?

Humans have a long history with the cannabis plant. Some experts suggest that it is one of the oldest cultivated agricultural crops. Both hemp seeds and flowers were reportedly once eaten by ancestral communities.
