CBD School

Gary’s CBD discovery started out as a selfish journey looking to help his CrossFit Master Competition career but then discovered that his daughter had a dependency on opiates that lead her down a path of using heroin. He realized that this plant could help her overcome her addiction but , sadly the law and legislation were not on his side, and before he could get a cannabis product that was safe and viable, she lost her battle, losing her life. She was on life support until her 27th birthday. That day Gary and his wife decided to let her go. His daughter was someone who always wanted to help others, which showed even after her death. To their surprise, his daughter was an organ donor, and she saved someone else’s life with her own. At that point, Gary’s relationship with CBD and Cannabis changed to one of helping others in addiction with a particular focus on providing help to his fellow brothers and sisters in the fire department, many of whom face problems with PTSD and associated depression. HighlightsGary’s background and personal story and his connection with CBDHow Gary used CBD to help improve his Crossfit performance Daughter’s opiates addiction and the potential for CBD to helpMission to help first responders get access to CBDPTSD and Depression - the unique stress faced by firefighters and first respondersHow CBD has helped has first responders cope with the stress of the jobHow Gary is helping promote the benefits with first respondersGary’s own company, Pure Body Zen and podcast (Good Dudes Grow Podcast)Links of InterestGood Dudes Grow Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-dudes-grow/id1546666698Pure Body Zen https://pbzcbd.com/Dealing with the emotional trauma caused by mass disasters https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/emotional-trauma-caused-by-mass-disasters/Conceptualization, Assessment, and Treatment of Traumatic Stress in First Responders: A Review of Critical Issues https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6624844/New Research Reveals Why Cannabis Helps PTSD Sufferers https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilyearlenbaugh/2020/09/17/new-research-reveals-why-cannabis-helps-ptsd-sufferers/?sh=3b12d7b5179aCBD for Veterans https://www.cbdschool.com/cbd-for-veterans/ 

Dennis O’Neill is the President of BioMediCan, a biotech startup company that has developed a unique patented method of producing pharmaceutical-grade, 100% organic, non-GMO rare cannabinoids, including CBG, CBGA, THCV, THCVA, CBN, CBNA and high-value compounds using a proprietary organic biosynthesis platform at 70-90% lower cost than conventional methods. The Cannabinoids 'CBD" Market is experiencing astronomical grow rates expecting the market to be $146 billion by 2026. There are over 200 known Cannabinoids many that are significantly more effective for treating multiple medical conditions than CBD's. The problem is it takes a significant amount of time to produce, is very expensive and there is a limited amounts that can be produced. BioMediCan has developed a bio-synthesized process where they can produce significant quantities that are free from Pesticide's/Contaminants"safer" at a fraction of the cost. We believe that this creates a significant opportunity to develop and sell mass quantities of these rare cannabinoids that are free of THC to the Global Market.
