CBD Talk Podcast

We are back! Dawn has officially passed the torch. A quick intro to Wynne and Michelle, an overview of what CBD is and isn't, how it works in the body of mammals and the nonnegotiables when choosing a brand. We hope you enjoy!

It's time to pass the torch to a new voice as I've pretty much run out of things to say! If you're interested in continuing the podcast, email an audio sample of what you would do with the show to cbdtalkpodcast@gmail.com by the end of April 2023 and our goal is to have a new version of the podcast up and going with a fresh voice by June 1, 2023.

It was great to reconnect with Chris Driessen. We hadn't spoken with Chris since episode episode 36 three years ago. Now the CEO of SLANG Worldwide, he's representing multiple brands in a publicly traded company that's available on the OTC as ticker SLGWF. We talked about product safety and consistency - a difficult task when you have products across the country where you can't take product across state lines. We also talked about the Federal regulations that are giving the Canadian side a leg up when it comes to the stock exchange and how we hope that Federal legalization will help even that playing field for the US cannabis companies.

In this episode we talk about Delta 8 THC - a THC product that is actually legal to ship to nearly all states because the DEA designated Delta 9 THC to be the "illegal cannabinoid" through the Farm Bill. This is a really interesting episode - I learned a lot. I appreciate the information that Al Hoffman brought to the episode and hope that it helps to open up the opportunity for more people to have better access to whole plant cannabinoids.

We talk a lot about the importance of ease of use in products. If it's not easy, people won't use it and CBD is definitely something we want people to use to improve their health and their lives. TJ Stouder with HOLISTIK Wellness has a product that fits that bill. We talk about the stigma around cannabinoids, products and where we hope to see the industry headed in this episode.

I wanted to do an episode about FECO (full extract cannabis oil), also known as RSO (Rick Simpson oil) because I think there might be a lot of listeners who have heard of this but have no idea what it is, why to use it or how to use it - let alone how to make it. We are joined by Rebecca Joseph who's life changed because of being introduced to FECO and now helps others to change their lives as well.

Episode #85 - A perspective on recent vape illnesses And . . . I'm back. Sorry for the absence but I needed to finish my book and I have not made time to schedule some of the amazing people that spoke at the AHPA Hemp-CBD Supplement Congress. I really felt the need to share some information on the vape related illnesses since there's a lot of noise coming out of the mouths of some politicians and the media doesn't seem to know how to cover this type of thing properly. There was a great New York Times article that had very specific information, including quotes from the FDA, that can help explain it. You can find that article here: https://nyti.ms/2N0omKU And if you want to be notified when my books is being released and having its free Kindle download day, go to https://www.cbdbea.com/ and signed up for the newsletter. I'll send you a notice a few days before and then again on the release day.

With all of the speculation about which way the FDA is going with CBD, we invited Michael McGuffin, president of the American Herbal Products Association for the last 20 years (minus 2 days as of today) to talk with us about his interaction with the FDA and his thoughts on the topic. Michael shared his insight with us and how the FDA can help both the industry and the consumer through using the dietary supplement regulations to govern CBD and how it actually already covers it in the existing regulations. If you're in the industry, head over to http://www.ahpa.org/Education/TechnicalWorkshops/TabId/349/ArtMID/1109/ArticleID/1104/AHPA-Hemp-CBD-Supplement-Congress.aspx and register to attend the AHPA Hemp-CBD Supplement Congress with workshops and speakers from the FDA, USDA and retailers like Natural Grocers among many other industry leaders.

It's SCIENCE NIGHT!!!! In tonight's episode we discussed several studies, the science behind bioavailability and specific conditions that cannabidiol is showing to be beneficial for. Jamie Baumgartner from Panacea Life Sciences was a WEALTH of information - armed with his PhD in Biochemistry and years experience in medical R&D.

Tonight we spent time with Amy Nichols learning more about the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids. The range of symptoms and illnesses that can benefit from cannabinoids is so wide because of the way the Endocannabinoid System in your body works and how the use of cannabinoids helps to strenghten that system. With a degree and experience in nutritional science, Amy was able to use that knowledge to help herself overcome physical ailments with cannabinoids and is now teaching medical professionals the basics so they can help their patients as well.
