00:00
hello everyone I am here ready to talk
00:03
are you ready to learn
00:08
let's get oriented first and foremost
00:11
let's talk about what's going on in the
00:14
little window you got here there are a
00:16
few tabs for you to look at char char
00:19
how are you there is a chat box what you
00:22
can type in all sorts of wonderful notes
00:25
to me thanks for all the love I'm
00:27
getting thank you if you want to ask a
00:30
question there's a questions tab you can
00:32
click on that ask a nice little question
00:34
there is a poll that I would like you
00:37
all to fill out if you use CBD or not
00:40
and
00:42
you can see who else is here look at all
00:44
these people that have already shown up
00:46
and we it's just six o'clock Oh sir
00:49
you're gonna have to put your pants on
00:51
I'm just kidding I can't see you guys
00:53
you can only see me
00:55
yeah great this is awesome a little note
00:59
the technology's probably gonna break
01:02
and we're gonna lose you know this feed
01:04
I'm sure because that's the kind of luck
01:06
I have if we get through it we'll
01:08
celebrate I think that everything should
01:10
be good it's snowy and cold here in
01:12
Woodstock and I'm super excited to be
01:15
able to do a webinar for everybody out
01:17
there we're gonna talk about CBD of
01:19
course I figured I would give it maybe a
01:22
minute or two more as people come in and
01:25
drips and drabs I'm gonna turn off some
01:28
stuff so that way I don't get
01:31
interrupted by anybody I could just
01:34
focus on you guys any questions for me
01:39
before we get started everybody I see
01:41
there's one do you think CBD could
01:43
influence a simple ovarian cyst I'm
01:45
thinking of inflammation
01:47
it's a great question and I'm gonna say
01:50
I don't know I don't think that I have a
01:55
good answer for that and I think that we
01:58
should probably talk a little bit more
01:59
about what's going on but hopefully the
02:01
lecturer here today will help you
02:02
understand all of this stuff really well
02:05
so everybody can hear me if you can hear
02:07
me say yes in the chatbox and then the
02:12
other thing that I'd like to know is
02:14
where is everybody from there's a lot of
02:16
people from Woodstock but they think
02:17
there's people from other places so feel
02:20
free to type in where you're coming from
02:23
look at this boom boom boom look at all
02:29
the fun that we're having Oh somebody's
02:31
from Florida of course snowy and cold
02:35
all right
02:38
well without further ado I guess we can
02:41
get started with this fondness that we
02:44
call CBD let's make sure that our thing
02:48
works here well here it goes
02:52
all right I'm gonna share my screen and
02:55
you're gonna see the president
02:59
entitled CB dues and CB don'ts alright
03:10
how are we doing everybody with me yeah
03:13
okay so here we go
03:15
CB dues and CB don'ts first things first
03:19
we got some housekeeping this is a
03:22
really cool software service that we're
03:23
using so it allows you to rewatch this
03:25
at any time you'll just follow the same
03:27
link and you'll be able to see this
03:28
video all over again so be careful what
03:30
you say because people can see that too
03:31
don't say anything rude or or dirty
03:34
because we don't want your name attached
03:36
to that the slides I'm gonna post these
03:38
tomorrow so you don't have to worry
03:39
about writing these down or do it can I
03:41
get a copy emailing me I'll post them
03:43
automatically if anything comes up where
03:45
I want to create something for you to
03:47
download I'll put it right at the same
03:48
page if you have questions feel free to
03:51
go nuts I agree that it this is gonna be
03:55
more fun than a rant because I'm going
03:57
to try to get through 40 minutes without
03:59
swearing once so you know we'll see how
04:01
that works out
04:02
we have a poll over there if you take C
04:04
beat or not I'd like to know how many
04:05
people are using CBD and in typical Neil
04:09
fashion I wrote too much I wrote too
04:11
much stuff and I think that we have a
04:13
lot to cover so I'm gonna be speeding
04:15
through all of this if you don't know
04:17
who I am
04:18
I am a pharmacist and I have a practice
04:20
here in Woodstock I'm a holistic
04:21
pharmacist so basically I focus on
04:24
lifestyle modifications diet exercise
04:27
stress management along with supplements
04:29
and nutritional products and then
04:32
finally looking at medications but
04:33
including medications in this whole
04:35
thing to optimize somebody's wellness so
04:38
you can read all this at another time
04:39
when you download the slides one of the
04:41
things I always like to say is that I'm
04:43
not an expert I'm not the person
04:45
involved in CBD research I'm not the
04:47
purse the scientist that's studying the
04:49
actual results I'm not submitting case
04:52
studies and all of that stuff I am just
04:54
your translator I am the person reading
04:56
the available evidence and giving it to
04:59
you in the best fashion that I know how
05:01
and more importantly though I'm an
05:03
advocate for you so especially with CBD
05:06
I feel like there's so much
05:08
misinformation and so on
05:10
many problems with the products on the
05:11
market that I really have to step up the
05:14
advocate game here so mostly though I'm
05:17
just a bigmouth professional it gets a
05:19
little crazy and asked some tough
05:20
questions and as evident by that picture
05:23
and the lighting in here it has a
05:25
receding hairline are there supplements
05:27
for that alright so this is an important
05:29
disclaimer that I have to include of
05:31
course anything that you say here here
05:36
that I say is not real it's not been
05:38
evaluated by the FDA so don't stop any
05:41
medications don't start new therapies
05:43
without talking to a real medical expert
05:45
that is in your circle if you want me to
05:47
be that then yes we can have a
05:49
consultation and we can talk more to
05:50
determine what your individual case may
05:53
require but this is not blanket advice
05:56
that everybody should follow without
05:57
first talking to your own professional
06:00
my responsibility here is to be
06:03
responsible so there's going to be no
06:05
outrageous claims no craziness just real
06:07
practical advice around products and
06:09
what the current evidence shows so CBD
06:12
in my opinion is something that can
06:14
simple systems and in my practice as
06:16
well as friends and all over the country
06:18
you've heard it there's been so much
06:21
positive feedback and in my personal
06:23
opinion we need a path forward from the
06:25
Wild West of today to a more responsible
06:27
tomorrow around all cannabis products
06:31
especially the fun stuff which will of
06:33
course allude to because I have a very
06:35
low maturity level all right so CBD a
06:39
natural product that definitely has
06:42
value to many we need great products and
06:45
informed users today we're gonna cover
06:47
what CBD is we're going to talk about
06:49
the legality we're gonna understand the
06:51
numbers we're gonna develop a strategy
06:53
to use CBD successfully and then we'll
06:56
teach you how to use find a great
06:57
product all without getting ripped off
06:59
and one important thing to note is that
07:01
this video is evergreen it's gonna
07:03
always be out there so I'm not gonna
07:04
mention a single product I'll have
07:06
pictures of products mostly ones that I
07:08
don't like just to kind of show how
07:09
silly it is but I won't mention the
07:12
brands that I currently recommend
07:13
because my thought is is everything
07:15
changes especially in this industry so
07:17
at the end very end end we will talk
07:20
about the products that we have and what
07:22
I reckon
07:23
currently but that will not be part of
07:24
the main presentation so CBD CB CB don't
07:30
get mad if you heard and me say any of
07:32
this before because I am a bit of a
07:34
broken record and I will repeat myself
07:36
so a lot of my analogies I just really
07:38
like to use over and over again so when
07:41
we talk about CBD it's all bright and
07:42
cheery but I need to get a little bit
07:44
dark because it's a serious thing the
07:47
industry is a hot mess it's a new thing
07:50
it's a so it causes a big learning gap
07:53
for patients and practitioners I
07:55
actually just spend a half an hour today
07:56
talking to a vet's office who are very
07:58
gun-shy about using this in their
08:00
animals because of the legality and the
08:02
concerns about products so there's a lot
08:04
for us to learn before we can use this
08:06
responsibly it's untested so if you look
08:10
at the collection of evidence and the
08:12
peer-reviewed
08:12
I guess meta-analysis they'll say that
08:14
there's not a lot of edit solid clinical
08:17
recommendations what we do have is a lot
08:20
of anecdotes a lot of stories of people
08:22
saying that it works really well so we
08:24
don't really know on a grand scale if
08:26
this is all just a fluke or if it really
08:28
works my hint and it probably works but
08:30
right now it's it's pretty untested and
08:32
it's legally ambiguous so it's sold
08:35
everywhere but it's literally illegal
08:38
you you cannot debate that fact CBD
08:41
supplements and CBD and food is illegal
08:44
the next thing is like the product
08:46
standards are crazy my analogy you
08:48
probably heard it before if you look to
08:50
the left we see four different types of
08:52
Tylenol and that's it there are four
08:54
doses of tylenol there's tylenol regular
08:56
strength extra strength arthritis and
08:57
the liquid that's it every store that
09:00
you go to every generic product will fit
09:02
into one of those categories and on the
09:03
right is all different concentration and
09:06
doses of CBD products and that's not
09:09
even the half of it so it's pretty crazy
09:12
how much variability is out there for a
09:16
consumer how would you know where to
09:17
start or what to do right they use
09:20
numbers that aren't important so anybody
09:22
that's looked at a CBD product and I
09:24
think I've got one here Boop I'm gonna
09:26
cover that up but it says 1500
09:28
milligrams on the front of it what does
09:29
that even mean it does that represent
09:31
the strength and the hint is is that it
09:33
doesn't the descriptors aren't real so
09:36
they
09:36
basically the the labels will say hemp
09:41
oil or they'll say Fido cannabinoids is
09:43
that means CBD or does that mean other
09:46
stuff so there's again confusion and
09:49
labeling our business we have eight
09:52
different options all of do Isis and in
09:56
my case they're all great there are good
09:58
brands that we vetted thoroughly and
09:59
they're consistent with the quality but
10:02
that's super rare quality programs for
10:04
manufacturers are inconsistent and in
10:06
many cases does not even exist and they
10:08
don't even happen retailers are clueless
10:10
most of them are just looking to cash in
10:12
here man they're just this is a gold
10:14
rush and everybody is rushing for the
10:17
gold
10:19
so this grandmother here in this picture
10:20
she looks like she's experienced she
10:22
looks like she's been around the block
10:24
but most people don't understand that
10:26
they're getting ripped off right so most
10:28
people have never bought drugs before
10:30
right nobody's bought CBD before so
10:33
imagine trying to buy a bag of weed for
10:35
the first time at age 60 or something
10:37
like that there's probably a good chance
10:38
that you won't know what a good value is
10:41
or what to pay but uh approximately
10:43
forty to sixty bucks sounds good
10:45
manufacturers know this and they will
10:47
price the product not based on what it
10:49
should be but what the market will bear
10:51
so it's really important to kind of have
10:54
that advantage going to the table so
10:55
that way you don't get ripped off and
10:58
because of all of this
10:59
my general consensus is that most retail
11:01
shops are not qualified to sell CBD and
11:03
many manufacturers aren't qualified to
11:05
make the stuff out of the dark into the
11:10
light
11:10
CBD though is very very promising
11:13
imagine a day when we do know all about
11:15
it right so we have somebody that wants
11:17
to use CBD to support their anxiety and
11:19
they're taking xanax and they don't like
11:21
the idea that xanax a valium and all
11:23
those things have all of these
11:24
dependency issues and potential
11:26
withdrawal symptoms and they're sick of
11:27
taking ambien and how it makes them feel
11:29
imagine that with the help of a doctor
11:32
and somebody like me we can switch
11:33
somebody from that stuff to something a
11:36
little bit more natural like CBD I think
11:39
that that time is coming and I think
11:40
that there's an opportunity for this but
11:43
of course all things have liability is
11:45
especially CBD based on what I currently
11:48
I'm reading here is that the liabilities
11:50
CBDR a lot less than a lot of the things
11:53
that are used right now so this might be
11:55
the next step in our treatment of a lot
12:00
of common conditions for that the
12:02
American public are suffering from so CB
12:05
do proceed but do so with caution like
12:09
how I'm looping and all that that CB do
12:11
see we don't right alright so let's get
12:14
started here what is CB d and will you
12:17
get wasted very important questions to
12:19
ask so this is a cannabis plant of which
12:23
there's about 80 active pharmaceutical
12:25
compounds in there the two big famous
12:27
ones are THC and CBD THC being what I
12:30
call the awesome one which induces
12:32
giggles and the high and but if don't
12:35
let anybody tell you any any other thing
12:37
it is a gateway drug it's a gateway
12:38
directly to very dangerous things like
12:41
M&Ms; Ding Dongs and French fries so it
12:43
does increase your appetite and it makes
12:45
you want to eat it gives you the giggles
12:47
some people would prefer the CBD portion
12:51
right the chill one the relaxation the
12:53
comment strains like indica you may have
12:56
heard that before are called in the
12:58
couch because they're higher in CBD so
13:00
you're more relaxed in fact indica has
13:03
been shown to increase the gravitational
13:05
pull of couches so this is a more
13:09
scientific professional version CB d
13:12
stands for cannabidiol I'll let you read
13:14
that another point because I am neither
13:16
scientific nor professional so let's
13:18
keep moving CB do know the difference
13:20
between THC and CBD and the first thing
13:23
that you see be do you do need to know
13:25
is CBD won't get you high literally the
13:28
first thing that everybody says when we
13:30
start talking about CBD is some sort of
13:32
crazy story about the time that they
13:35
smoked pot right CB don't share your
13:38
weed war stories I've heard them alright
13:40
so I can't smoke pot it makes me anxious
13:42
yeah you and 30% of the population
13:44
literally getting a an anxious effect
13:48
and a panic effect from the thing that's
13:50
supposed to calm you yes I know that
13:52
that happens I don't do drugs I'm not
13:54
telling you to do drugs I'm telling you
13:55
to take CBD I haven't smoked pot since
13:57
the 30s well that was a long long time
13:59
ago and I took two hits off a joint when
14:01
I was 12 right all of these stories come
14:03
up and even
14:04
the most famous one I didn't inhale
14:06
right so we don't have to share your war
14:08
stories because marijuana and hemp are
14:10
two different things
14:11
CBD products come from hemp not
14:13
marijuana they're it's two sides of the
14:16
same coin right cannabis sativa is the
14:18
plant and the they're just different
14:20
species marijuana is higher in the THC
14:22
component than it is in CBD where the
14:25
industrial hemp is almost entirely CBD
14:27
with less than 0.3 percent THC and
14:30
that's an important number to remember
14:31
that that 0.3% the that's the the legal
14:35
limit of THC that can be in any CBD
14:37
based product hemp is also used for its
14:40
fibrous nature textiles and rope
14:43
manufacturing so hemp is this really
14:45
great plant super useful in a lot of
14:46
different industries so I came up with a
14:48
way for you to remember the difference
14:50
between marihuana and hemp and this is
14:52
gonna be famous someday so make sure
14:53
that you remember that you were here and
14:55
heard it first right so marijuana is
14:57
dope hemp is rope so you tell people not
15:03
dope just rope and you can hashtag that
15:07
out that's gonna be internet famous
15:08
thanks to Woodstock vitamins all right
15:10
so remember that hemp verses CBD this
15:13
comes up so what's the difference
15:14
between hamp and CBD well here's a great
15:17
analogy that I've beaten to death
15:18
oranges you squeeze them you get orange
15:21
juice inside of orange juice you've get
15:24
vitamin C the same kind of a
15:26
relationship happens with hemp so hemp
15:28
is the the plant you squeeze out all the
15:30
goodness you get hemp oil and within
15:33
hemp oil is CBD so you can actually get
15:36
hemp oil that has had all the CBD
15:38
removed from it so you won't actually
15:40
have any active CBD in that hemp oil so
15:43
you can just have bunk stuff so that's
15:45
an important thing to know is that even
15:47
though you might be buying hemp oil
15:48
doesn't mean that there's any
15:49
concentration of CBD so what does CBD do
15:53
to us hang on a second I got a question
15:56
let's see what's going on over here all
15:59
right I'm not answering that because
16:01
Steve you're not allowed to answer
16:02
questions so effects of CBD a so CBD can
16:05
reduce your feelings of anxiety it has
16:08
some mood modification so there's some
16:10
consideration that it may actually help
16:12
with depressive symptoms so there
16:13
definitely needs more research there but
16:15
there has been some anecdotes saying
16:17
that it helps
16:18
CBD antibody definitely causes a muscle
16:20
relaxation and even affects the way that
16:22
our pain signals transfer so you can
16:25
have some pain management or pain
16:27
support from it you will fatigue and
16:30
drowsiness and that's wanted by some
16:32
people some people need to go to sleep
16:34
at night right so they want that
16:35
that drowsiness other anti-inflammatory
16:38
components to it maybe but I think
16:40
that's something that needs a lot more
16:42
study the most important thing to
16:48
understand is that there are things that
16:49
CBD won't do and there's a lot of
16:51
outrageous claims out there so like one
16:53
of them is that CBD will cure cancer and
16:55
that's like not even a cool thing to say
16:57
cancer is a very broad range of diseases
16:59
in may CBD or medical marijuana or you
17:02
know marijuana and generally help
17:04
support the whole process but it may
17:06
help out with symptom management but
17:08
it's definitely not going to do anything
17:09
to cure cancer based on the current
17:12
evidence of that's available so it's not
17:14
gonna reverse any diseases not gonna fix
17:16
all your problems it's not gonna make
17:17
you a better person
17:18
well you were already a better person
17:20
than me but it might make me a better
17:22
person if I was a little bit less
17:23
anxious for sure so there's a lot of
17:25
promise but the Charlatans will try to
17:26
convince you that it's to use it in
17:28
unsustainable ways and that's something
17:30
that you should not be doing is using it
17:33
in a way that is not substantiated who
17:36
can use CBD well everybody adults
17:39
children teenagers cats and dogs
17:40
everybody give it to Grandma if you want
17:42
you can give it to your kids it's it's
17:45
great the dosing though will vary person
17:47
to person species to species so what an
17:49
adult needs will obviously be different
17:51
than what a child needs which will be
17:52
different than what animal needs an
17:54
interesting thing to know is that
17:55
products that are marketed towards a
17:57
single group that's just marketing so
18:00
you don't need a dog CBD versus a human
18:02
CBD that's just trying to get them you
18:05
know get you to buy a couple bottles of
18:06
the same stuff so as long as it's clean
18:09
and potent and it's dosed correctly one
18:11
CBD for the entire household is all you
18:12
need so alright where are we now
18:16
navigating CBD aka the CBD market needs
18:20
GPS so the legality of CBD is something
18:25
that always comes up and everybody's
18:26
like oh it's legal especially now the
18:28
hemp bill was just signed well no it is
18:30
not illegal the
18:32
armed bill of 2018 rate hemp and hemp
18:34
products legal but the FDA who is the
18:35
person that's responsible for regulating
18:37
supplements says absolutely not and
18:40
that's straight out of the horse's mouth
18:41
right down in the bottom there is the
18:42
press release from the bossman so if you
18:45
read that it'll very clearly tell you
18:48
that CBD as a supplement is not a legal
18:51
thing it is not legal to put CBD into
18:53
foods what they did say is that because
18:56
of the public interest and because of
18:58
the outpouring they want to have
19:01
conversations to find a pathway to make
19:04
it available to people but right now CBD
19:07
supplements are not legal there's only
19:09
one CBD product that's been approved for
19:11
use and like children for epilepsy and
19:13
any claims that they make about CBD
19:15
being able to treat or cure diseases is
19:17
a real problem so it's not legal but I
19:21
would say CB don't sweat it because it's
19:23
not like they're gonna raid anybody
19:25
there's actually an enforcement
19:26
restriction in place and they're not
19:28
going to start knocking down doors as of
19:31
right now that of course could change
19:32
tomorrow but you know I would consider
19:35
that the the batting order for the
19:36
people that are gonna have the most
19:37
problems are the the people claiming
19:39
that CBD does things that it doesn't
19:41
manufacturers some really really big
19:44
retailers and I don't even think
19:46
patients would even be on that list I've
19:48
heard of people flying with it I've
19:50
heard all these different stories I
19:52
think we're coming to a point where the
19:54
legality is still in this weird gray
19:56
area but we're moving more towards black
19:58
and white definitive with you know
20:01
responsible regulations around CBD and
20:04
making it accessible for people so the
20:06
other thing that's really important to
20:08
understand is that the products are all
20:10
over the place so we've covered a lot of
20:12
ground so far and we haven't even like
20:14
dipped our toe into the water if you
20:16
want to start CBD besides understanding
20:18
what it is where it comes from and all
20:20
the legal implications there's so much
20:22
more to know there's lots of different
20:24
options there's no standardized
20:25
strengths as I was talking with the
20:27
tylenol example I mean you can get CBD
20:29
and brownies I actually have some
20:31
downstairs is that a good thing we don't
20:33
know and because there's all these
20:35
different brands that aren't technically
20:38
required to follow any manufacturing
20:40
processes because it's a big weird legal
20:42
gray area you have a lot of non comply
20:45
and manufacturers out there so we still
20:48
have a lot of product variability that
20:49
we have to talk about so let's start
20:51
first with CBD dosage forms and you know
20:54
my subtitle and this one is because one
20:56
or two things just isn't enough we need
20:58
to have 15 different items in this
20:59
country in order for us to feel
21:01
successful so alright watch the grandma
21:04
references haha
21:05
alright so there are lots of different
21:07
ways that you can get CBD so the first
21:10
and foremost is the smoked version right
21:12
so little pen inhale it and you absorb
21:16
the CBD through your lung so you have
21:18
oral capsules or tablets
21:19
you have edibles and foods which are a
21:21
little bit different than the oral
21:23
capsules or tablets
21:24
sublingual liquids and topical
21:26
preparations so let's go through these
21:28
inhaled CPD is typically vaporized using
21:32
one of these little silly little looking
21:33
flutes here you basically the device
21:36
heats the oil to a high temperature
21:39
converts it to gas versus like lighting
21:41
it on fire inhaling all of those
21:43
wonderful things like ammonia and stuff
21:45
and burning ashes so it is a safer way
21:48
to inhale stuff but I'm still not really
21:52
for inhaling CBD it does have a very
21:55
high bioavailability so a small amount
21:56
of CBD will get into the blood at a
21:59
higher rate than oral dosage forms or
22:03
even sublingual forms that's a big
22:05
advantage and it will work a lot quicker
22:07
the problem is you're inhaling it you're
22:09
applying this stuff clean or not to the
22:12
your lungs which are a very soft
22:14
sensitive tissue dose I trations hard
22:17
right so if you were using something
22:19
like CBD for a proposed medical purpose
22:23
right for to treat something in the
22:24
future right to to help us with
22:27
something what do you do take four puffs
22:30
like is that
22:32
whole thing like I don't understand how
22:34
we can titrate the dose to make sure
22:36
you're getting just enough and not too
22:37
much the other thing is like it's
22:40
wasteful so you you put 10 milligrams
22:42
into the thing of oil and you light it
22:44
and you're gonna burn off a lot of it so
22:46
I'm not really a big fan you'll have a
22:48
higher total cost with CBD I'm sure the
22:51
cost per milligram is going to be low
22:52
but because you have to buy this pen and
22:54
have all this like gadgetry around I'm
22:56
not a big fan of inhaled CBD oral
23:00
capsules or tablets is another way to
23:02
get it as a more traditional dosing form
23:03
so basically they just put the CBD oil
23:05
into a capsule or tablet and you know if
23:09
it's a 10 milligram capsule then you can
23:11
take two capsules to get 20 milligrams
23:13
the problem with oral absorption is that
23:15
it's super erratic you're not going to
23:17
get consistent blood levels one report I
23:20
said I saw showed that the absorption is
23:23
lowest six percent which is crazy
23:25
it does need to be taken with fat so if
23:27
you decide that I do want to use a
23:28
capsule or tablet cause it's just more
23:29
my speed you should have a so somebody
23:32
will take it like a smidge of coconut
23:34
oil or like a scoop of peanut butter or
23:36
something like that just to help with
23:37
the absorption oral products will have a
23:40
slower onset of action than using other
23:42
dosage forms then the problem here is
23:44
that there could be waste right so if 15
23:47
milligrams your dose but you have 10
23:48
milligram tablets you're basically
23:49
blowing like five milligrams just out of
23:52
the water right so like you'd have to
23:54
take two tens and that would get you 20
23:57
milligrams and you blow right past the
23:58
15 milligrams that you need so I don't
24:00
like the the tablet oral dosage forms
24:02
because you're too restricted and the
24:05
intervals in which you can dose and all
24:07
oral capsules or tablets that I've seen
24:09
have had a higher cost per milligram
24:11
than other dosage forms edibles now this
24:15
is just CB dick ulis don't buy a CBD
24:19
edible there is no reason for its evils
24:22
are great for THC where you're just
24:24
trying to get high right you don't need
24:25
an exact dose you just need a fuzzy
24:27
amount right what's the likelihood that
24:29
this manufacturer of gummies is actually
24:32
taking 10% of their gummy yield and and
24:35
testing it to ensure proper mixing
24:38
they're not dude they just take a big
24:40
vat of gummy stuff and then they pour it
24:43
into mold so you could get one magic
24:45
gummy that has
24:45
all of the milligrams of CBD in it if
24:48
they didn't mix properly enough you know
24:50
that and the cost is SuperDuper high
24:53
we've seen edible CBD as high as like a
24:57
dollar per milligram we're ten cents per
25:00
milligram is is really all you need to
25:02
pay for CBD so there's a much higher
25:04
cost with the same problems of oral
25:06
dosing erratic absorption time to onset
25:09
the fat that's needed it's just not an
25:11
idea so here's here's another CB don't
25:13
don't bother with CBD edibles it's it's
25:15
kind of silly I'm drying up we need a
25:18
humidifier up here sublingual liquids
25:21
this is my favorite and there's a lot of
25:24
different reasons for that it's
25:26
typically in oil and it can be on any
25:28
base so if you take the CBD out of a
25:30
hemp plant you can put it back in hemp
25:32
oil and then you have like a pretty kind
25:34
of like well-put-together product you
25:36
can put in coconut oil one of our
25:38
products done in that I mean you can put
25:39
it in any kind of oil you can put it and
25:41
anything that somebody would want to
25:43
ingest that's an oil base for sure the
25:45
thing I like the most about it is that
25:47
you can really get into the minutiae of
25:51
the dosing you can really
25:52
titrate those doses right down to the
25:55
specific milligram or even half
25:56
milligram dose when we have our patients
25:59
that are pets right they need one
26:02
milligram per ten pounds so if you need
26:05
to give it an animal one-and-a-half
26:07
milligrams of CBD you can very easily do
26:09
that with the right concentration with
26:12
an oil the problem is that it kind of
26:16
tastes a little bit like grass if you
26:17
especially for using hemp as a base and
26:19
the drops versus the MLS that's a big
26:22
thing like if if concentrations are
26:26
regarded as a dose per milliliter and
26:28
you have a dropper and a droppers this
26:31
unspecific volume of water like what
26:34
does it drop if you actually try to
26:36
figure out what a drop is it'll be based
26:38
on the size of the dropper and like the
26:39
the width of the hole at the bottom at
26:41
the dropper so I tell people to use
26:43
stuff like oral syringes
26:45
those are like oral syringes the problem
26:47
is is that the oral syringes they have
26:49
their own liabilities it's kind of messy
26:51
it's tough to pull it up but this is a
26:53
way to use the liquid and then get
26:56
consistent dosing the other thing that
26:57
that's crazy with CBD that's
26:59
or a liquid is that the math is even
27:01
more complicated so you definitely need
27:03
some help with that there is a huge
27:06
benefit in the cost CBD is an expensive
27:08
experiment for a lot of people with
27:11
starting bottles for most adults being
27:13
between forty and eighty dollars that is
27:16
a big investment for a lot of people so
27:18
you want to find the best value and you
27:21
will find the best value I've I've found
27:23
with liquid oils topical CBD this is
27:26
something that's kind of interesting
27:28
right so what if I can take the CBD and
27:30
rub it on the painful area or rub it on
27:33
an inflamed area can I can I take CBD
27:35
rub it in and will it help my joints
27:37
that's a lot of questions that I don't
27:39
know if we have answers for what I do
27:41
know about transdermal absorption of
27:43
drugs is that the dosing needs to be
27:45
consistent so the it doesn't go from
27:47
outside your body to right into the
27:49
bloodstream
27:49
it actually like sits and and kind of
27:51
accumulates in the skin a little bit and
27:54
then that is what you know you know
27:56
drips into the the bloodstream so you
27:59
need consistent dosing at least twice a
28:01
day in order for the CBD to kind of
28:04
build up to a good level one of the
28:06
things that you have to understand is
28:08
that in order for something to get
28:10
through the skin you have to put
28:11
penetration agents in and a lot of CBD
28:13
products I've looked at don't really
28:14
have that so it's just pointman or a
28:17
cream and CBD so it's not really pushing
28:20
it into the skin and another dirty trick
28:22
is they will put in a CBD pointment
28:26
they'll put in like menthol and they'll
28:28
put in camphor or they'll put in arnica
28:31
though so they'll put in things to a CBD
28:32
product that actually helps with pain
28:35
right that's been proven that's been
28:36
used forever so is it the CBD that's
28:39
doing it or is all is that those other
28:41
ingredients and there's an obvious
28:43
reason that they're doing it because a
28:44
lot of times CBD topically won't really
28:46
work for people right away so by putting
28:50
those other things in there then you're
28:51
kind of guaranteeing that people be like
28:53
oh wow this $50 CBD cream worked really
28:56
well for me so if you are going to use
28:58
the CBD topical make sure that you're
29:00
getting just CBD with a you know a
29:02
sophisticated base but know that you're
29:04
gonna pay more and it's going to be
29:05
really inconsistent dosing how do you
29:07
there's like two globs of CBD a day is
29:10
that is that what you're using just a
29:12
little note I also
29:13
have told people to take the CBD oil and
29:17
just do a consistent number of drops 5
29:19
to 10 drops on surface of the skin and
29:21
massage it in because what's an oil but
29:24
a liquid version of Weightman right so
29:26
you can use topical you can use oral
29:29
stuff topically which is really cool so
29:32
boop-boop-boop all right let's keep
29:34
going my recommendation here is to use
29:37
sublingual oils it is the lowest cost
29:39
for CBD milligram of CBD it has the
29:42
optimal dose hydration because remember
29:44
we want to make sure that we're using as
29:46
little as possible it'll have the fewest
29:48
absorb variables for absorption so
29:50
you're putting this onto your tongue
29:51
you're gonna let it sit for a couple of
29:53
minutes and basically 30 minutes to an
29:56
hour and a half you'll notice an effect
29:58
which is really good
29:59
most people will see stuff around 40
30:01
minutes or so and you'll have a very
30:04
consistent effect the more that you
30:07
swallow the less that's going to get
30:10
absorbed so I think it's just your
30:12
tongue never use edibles that's silly
30:15
and just be careful with topicals if
30:17
you're going to do it so CB do look to
30:20
sublingual oils for the best value CBD
30:24
by the numbers time to get good at math
30:26
which is very difficult for a lot of
30:28
people this is something that I like to
30:31
go over with everybody because the the
30:33
words are used incorrectly so let's get
30:35
on the same page about that a dose is
30:38
how much you take right so I take 500
30:42
milligrams of Tylenol for my headache my
30:45
wife might take a thousand milligrams
30:46
and that's the dose that works for her
30:48
so the dose is the amount usually in
30:50
milligrams of a compound that gives the
30:53
desired effect the strength which is
30:56
also known as a concentration is the the
30:59
thing it's the product so it's how much
31:01
active ingredient is in a certain unit
31:03
of that product so back to the tylenol
31:06
example 500 milligrams per tablet if it
31:09
was the liquid it might be 500
31:11
milligrams per teaspoon so with liquid
31:14
CBDs it might be 25 milligrams per ml
31:17
right so that's the strength
31:21
there's this craziness with the package
31:24
sighs so how many dosing units are in
31:25
the container while you look at that
31:27
bottle of Tylenol and says 24 it says
31:29
100 you know that there's 24 500
31:31
milligram tablets in there and CBD land
31:33
all of this stuff is a big mishmash so
31:36
dough strength and package size are put
31:38
on the packages and nobody knows what's
31:40
what so let's go over that so looking at
31:42
this little bottle here you see and I'm
31:45
gonna focus on the bottle the red circle
31:47
there hemp oil 500 right so people say
31:50
oh I take the 500 or I've been on the
31:52
750 I got CBD oil well that is not
31:57
telling you how strong it is that's
31:59
telling you how many milligrams total
32:01
are in there so it's more representative
32:03
of the package size the strength of a
32:06
cannabis product is not not the number
32:09
on the front this represents the total
32:11
amount of CBD in the entire bottle read
32:15
that bottom line I'm gonna say to the
32:16
camera doing it this way is crazy
32:20
dumb and confusing so putting that out
32:23
there the 500 milligrams in the total
32:25
package it's like saying well this
32:27
tylenol bottle has 50 grams of Tylenol
32:29
and there's a hundred tablets you figure
32:30
it out right that's a pretty
32:32
irresponsible way for us to do this
32:34
whole thing
32:34
çb don't confuse the number on the front
32:37
of a CBD product for the strength oh
32:40
let's get into brownies I know I said
32:42
edibles aren't the way to go but let's
32:43
let's let's use brownies because they're
32:45
easy to understand and it might make
32:47
your you know your mouth ward a little
32:49
bit let's assume that we bought this CBD
32:51
brownie and it was labeled 240
32:53
milligrams on the front right it doesn't
32:55
mean that each piece is 240 milligrams
32:57
right because we'd want to eat one piece
32:59
to get the dose but it means that the
33:01
whole set is 240 milligrams so if each
33:04
unit is one of these squares and they're
33:06
six squares that means that the strength
33:08
is 40 milligrams per brownie square
33:12
right so it's not 240 per square it's 40
33:16
milligrams six times 440 C B do look at
33:20
the amount per unit to determine the
33:23
strength this is an important thing
33:24
don't look at the front of the bottle
33:26
turn it around and look at the
33:27
supplement facts panel that'll give you
33:29
a better understanding of what you're
33:31
supposed to use your CBD
33:33
is a consistent number that you respond
33:37
to it has nothing to do with your
33:38
product this is an important
33:40
conversation because when people start
33:42
asking about CBD and I start talking to
33:44
them about it the first thing they want
33:45
to know is well how much do I have to
33:47
take to get the dose and that's
33:49
irrelevant what matters most is how much
33:51
you need to get the effect and that's
33:53
the number that you should always commit
33:55
to memory so always commit to memory
33:57
that I respond to 10 milligrams of CBD
33:59
so and it won't matter what product you
34:01
have right so let's use this as another
34:03
example what if your dose was 40
34:05
milligrams right well if I have 40
34:07
milligrams as the dose that works for me
34:09
within this situation I can take off one
34:11
of these squares of the brownie and I
34:13
can get the results that I'm looking for
34:14
but what if my dose was 10 milligrams
34:16
and all I have is a 40 milligram brownie
34:19
well I'd have to cut it evenly into a
34:21
1/4 and take 1/4 of a piece to get that
34:25
10 milligrams right this is complicated
34:28
right you need to have somebody help you
34:31
with this whole process and the only
34:33
reason that we need this is because of
34:35
all the silly crazy ways that this stuff
34:39
is done and there's no like good
34:41
regulations about this so I always say
34:44
that you know it's it's ok to just say
34:48
well I don't know you tell me what to do
34:50
but what I really really want from you
34:52
is to understand these things and how
34:55
these things play out so that way you
34:57
can take more ownership and more control
34:58
of this situation because you know you
35:01
you really want to be in a place where
35:03
you're making more informed decisions
35:04
around CBD and not just going with the
35:06
flow here so just to review the doses
35:09
how much you take usually in milligrams
35:11
the strength is how much active
35:13
ingredient in a certain unit so you know
35:15
40 milligrams per brownie piece right
35:17
it's the concentration and the package
35:19
size in the world of CBD is that big
35:21
number on the front so that's how many
35:23
doses so if you got a 500 milligram CBD
35:26
and your dose that you take that works
35:28
for you is 10 milligrams that means that
35:31
you'll have 50 doses in that 500
35:33
milligram package and that's all it's
35:35
telling it was just how many doses
35:36
you'll have dosing ranges are extremely
35:41
wide right so if we're going down this
35:43
path okay so what dose do I use we have
35:46
to understand that there
35:47
really no established guidelines we just
35:50
have a few little bits here and there of
35:53
dosas that will work for people as low
35:56
as one milligram
35:57
all the way up to 30 milligrams per
35:58
kilogram and beyond so for me I know I
36:01
got to lose weight I've talked about it
36:02
before that's 3,000 milligrams of CBD a
36:05
day that's $200 of CBD every single day
36:08
that I would have to take if I needed
36:10
that high of a dose so you can see that
36:12
that range you could drive a truck
36:13
through so you know what is going to you
36:17
is probably going to be much much less
36:18
but you have to understand that the
36:22
evidence has shown that not everybody
36:24
will respond to low doses they will need
36:26
higher and high some people will need
36:27
higher and higher doses of CBD in order
36:30
for it to be beneficial this is a little
36:33
graphic that I've made up for used to
36:37
make it a little bit easier for people
36:39
to understand so if you look at this as
36:42
a scale hi Missy good to see you
36:45
if you look at this as a scale on the
36:47
far left side we have low doses all the
36:50
way up to super insane high doses and
36:52
what this is telling you is that
36:53
basically if you're using CBD for the
36:56
it's anxiety support features you're
36:58
gonna be using it at low to middle doses
37:01
right most people are responding for
37:03
that stuff and the low range again I've
37:05
had people take super and say no high
37:07
doses of it and nothing happens right
37:09
but this is just a generalization for
37:12
sleep support same thing it's gonna be
37:14
lower doses and you're kind of get into
37:16
the high range if you're looking to help
37:18
out with pain CBD doses are very varied
37:22
and up into these crazy doses most of
37:25
the trials around pain management with
37:27
CBD and marijuana shows that the doses
37:29
need to be high and especially the stuff
37:31
with the epilepsy and children if that's
37:34
the thirty milligrams per kilogram
37:36
dosing which is this huge huge number so
37:39
know that the dosing ranges are super
37:41
duper high now do you start out taking
37:43
CBD and the super insane level no that
37:46
doesn't make any sense so we have to
37:47
have a better strategy for approaching
37:49
CBD let me keep moving because we're
37:52
getting time so you know the first time
37:55
should be special if you've never used
37:57
marijuana or CBD products before you're
37:58
going to respond differently so light a
38:00
candle get back
38:01
going right we don't know how you're
38:03
gonna react so we want to see if this
38:05
will work especially if you're
38:07
inexperienced now that was a good joke I
38:09
don't care who you are
38:10
so the strategy that you're going to
38:12
implement when you're using CBD is to
38:14
start low go slow but go thank you
38:21
we want the lowest effective dose when
38:23
we're using any medication any product
38:26
right so we want to use the absolute
38:29
lowest when we're using drug therapy
38:31
when we're using supplements when we're
38:34
talking about our food we want the
38:35
lowest effective amount and the two
38:37
reasons why is to minimize the side
38:39
effects most importantly for me is to
38:42
keep the cost down I want I want you did
38:44
not have to spend a million bucks on CBD
38:45
so if you don't listen to me for example
38:48
and slowly increase your dose over time
38:50
to creep up to the dose that works for
38:52
you and you blow right past and you take
38:55
a hundred milligrams in your first dose
38:56
great it relieves your pain or does
38:59
whatever it is that you were looking for
39:01
it to do right but what if 50 milligrams
39:04
gave you that same level of pain relief
39:06
well now you've just wasted half of the
39:08
dose but you'll continue to use the 100
39:10
because that's what you responded to so
39:12
the strategy has to be start low so the
39:14
starting dose is for most adults are
39:16
around 5 milligrams and at bedtime
39:19
should be around 10 milligrams
39:22
I personally respond to 5 milligrams
39:24
pretty well right our product that we
39:27
sell to that we give to most people it
39:30
ends up being like 6 milligrams so again
39:32
it's just approximate so 5 milligrams in
39:34
that range is where most people should
39:36
start if they want to start on the dose
39:38
of CBD now again most people will need
39:41
more than just five milligrams that's
39:43
just where we start without overdoing it
39:45
kids it's going to be tough some older
39:48
kids probably 5 milligrams but mostly
39:51
less for younger kids but that's where
39:52
you would want to speak to an expert and
39:54
pets the current data a literature
39:58
advise says approximately one milligram
40:00
of CBD for every 10 pounds at your cat
40:03
or dog weighs so the big dogs need big
40:05
doses and the range for for pets goes
40:09
from 1 to 6 milligrams per 10 pounds for
40:11
most conditions so
40:14
boop-boop-boop-boop any Susan Alexander
40:19
just asked about with the CBD carriers
40:21
such as glycerin and ethylene glycol are
40:22
they bad to inhale that's a great
40:24
question I want to actually answer that
40:26
right now the that's why I don't like
40:29
vaping right so this whole like vaping
40:31
trend the stuff that goes into vape pens
40:34
and to vape liquids is the same stuff I
40:39
used to put in my fog machine when I was
40:40
a DJ when I was 19 right so it's the
40:42
same exact stuff and they had big
40:45
warnings on there that said do you not
40:47
directly inhale except now these young
40:49
kids are just piping the stuff into
40:50
their lungs and bringing it back out so
40:52
my personal opinion again is I don't
40:54
like inhaled CBD because of the exposure
40:57
to this other stuff I don't think it's
41:00
good for people to be exposing their
41:03
lungs to high doses a polyethylene
41:05
glycol and such so back to dosing CBD
41:09
dosing is trial and error so you start
41:11
out with your first dose you wait 30 to
41:13
90 minutes did anything happen if so
41:16
you're a cheap date congratulations
41:18
because you're just like me I can get
41:20
away with a very low cost and I get the
41:24
results that I want if not you need the
41:26
next part of the dosing strategy which
41:28
is to go slow so increased by five or
41:31
ten milligrams ends and you can
41:34
literally do that the next time you dose
41:36
but go we want to make sure that you
41:38
start at a low dose you increase and you
41:41
you increase aggressively so don't wait
41:43
and take the same dose for four times
41:45
some people may have heard me use this
41:47
this little anecdote the story of a
41:49
customer that was using it in their
41:51
father at a nursing home and they were
41:53
doing the same exact dose every day for
41:55
14 days and it didn't work and then she
41:57
said well after 14 days it started to
41:58
work I said well what changed and she
42:01
said well we doubled the dose okay when
42:03
I said well you could have done that
42:04
literally on day 2 and you would have
42:06
gotten the same results as as that so
42:08
don't waste your time with that same
42:10
dose increase as much as your body
42:12
allows so so it can be used up to four
42:16
times a day and Duncan I'm actually
42:18
going to answer that question pretty
42:19
soon so I will hold that so with liquids
42:23
if there's a big problem coming with the
42:26
dose and this is something that we can
42:27
kind of get into
42:28
more detail at some other point but
42:30
basically how do you get this dropper in
42:34
your mouth and get the right dose so
42:36
it's tough I recommend the oral syringes
42:40
or the brand that we carry has a
42:42
calibrated dropper so you can get your
42:44
hands on a calibrated dropper that shows
42:45
you like what a quarter ml half ml 3/4
42:48
full ml is on a dropper then you're
42:50
gonna have much better results and it's
42:51
gonna be much easier to use so CBD CB
42:56
don't confuse drops for your dose so one
43:00
of the things I always hear is oh I take
43:02
five drops of CBD that's like taking a
43:04
saying I take six capsules of lipitor
43:06
what does that even mean like how much
43:07
how many milligrams do you take right so
43:11
use the calibrated dosing tools when you
43:13
can so alright so I will answer Duncan's
43:17
questions so like how long does the
43:19
effect last so essentially what happens
43:21
is you need to establish what dose helps
43:26
you and then you need to figure out how
43:28
long that effect lasts so from my
43:31
feedback that I've gotten for people
43:33
somebody was using it for some joint
43:35
stiffness right I want to try it for
43:37
joint stiffness so take a dose before
43:39
bed and I said you can probably need to
43:42
use it up to four times a day for that
43:43
and they said well actually that bedtime
43:47
dose last me until two o'clock in the
43:49
afternoon the next day so for that
43:51
person he only needs to dose twice a day
43:54
two o'clock and bedtime some people need
43:57
to dose four times a day so it's really
43:59
about finding what dose works for you
44:00
and how long that dose lasts that's an
44:03
important thing finding a good brand
44:06
needle meet haystack there are lots of
44:10
problems with CBD products I've met and
44:13
spoke to too many owners of CBD brands
44:16
and let me tell you they are living out
44:20
the stereotypical Cheech and Chong I'm
44:23
gonna open a weed business right as this
44:26
industry matures I'm sure we're gonna
44:29
see more business people getting in that
44:31
understand all of the implications and
44:33
quality controls and stuff like that but
44:35
right now you just you just have these
44:37
random people that are involved hemp in
44:40
particular because it's a plan
44:42
has a unique set of contaminants right
44:45
so if you think about it there's stuff
44:47
that we spray on the plant that we have
44:49
to worry about pesticides and herbicides
44:51
the soil that it's in will cause the
44:54
hemp to pull well well the the hemp will
44:58
pull up any of the grow stuff that's in
45:00
the soil and particularly heavily heavy
45:02
metals are a problem like lead arsenic
45:04
and Mercury hemp in particular is a
45:08
hyper accumulator which means it earns
45:11
its name weed right it's pulling up
45:13
everything from the environment pretty
45:14
and non-discriminatory careful of the
45:18
the farming environment that the hemp is
45:21
is raised in on top of this we have to
45:24
be concerned about what methods are you
45:27
using to extract out the CBD from the
45:30
hemp you are using industrial solvents
45:33
that are potentially carcinogenic like
45:35
curse antigenic like hexane or are using
45:38
something like supercritical extraction
45:39
which is just carbon dioxide or even
45:41
some grain alcohol or something like
45:42
that there are effective cheap dangerous
45:46
ways and there are effective a little
45:48
bit less effective safe environmentally
45:51
beneficial ways so all of these are
45:54
concerns but a lot of people aren't
45:55
really thinking about it it's gonna be
45:57
near impossible for any consumer to have
46:00
enough information to determine if a
46:02
brand is truly high-quality it's tough
46:04
for me I tell people all the time we
46:06
have moved to private labeling or
46:09
contract manufacturers of our
46:11
manufacturing of our own products
46:12
Woodstock vitamins stuff because they're
46:15
legally required to give me all of the
46:16
quality data whereas other brands I'd
46:19
have to just trust that they're gonna be
46:20
a little transparent and as time goes on
46:22
they're becoming less and less
46:23
transparent so imagine CBD companies run
46:26
by you know some O's and like you know
46:29
they don't even know what to look at
46:30
they're not gonna be sharing that so
46:33
transparencies key is the brand you know
46:35
posting their test results frequently if
46:38
they're sharing are they testing
46:39
correctly are they sharing often so I've
46:41
got a couple examples about pesticides
46:43
which is very interesting so I go to a
46:44
CBD site they're like oh we share all of
46:47
our quality data right on the site and
46:48
they had a pesticide test and it listed
46:50
three stupid pesticides of the 35 or 40
46:54
that you need to look
46:55
right so so while yes they're testing
46:58
for pesticides they're not testing
46:59
enough the next problem that you have to
47:02
think about is how often are they
47:04
testing so a lot of botanical companies
47:07
will test a new contract manufacturer
47:09
the first three or four times that they
47:11
use product for pesticides and
47:13
herbicides but once four tests come back
47:15
positive they'll just randomly test
47:17
after that I don't think that's good
47:19
enough I think that they should be
47:20
testing every single time because who
47:21
the heck knows what's happening and in
47:23
fact we switched one brand from being
47:25
excellent to good just because of that
47:27
they stopped testing as frequently as
47:29
every lot and the new brand that we
47:31
brought and we convinced them that they
47:32
should be testing every single lot so
47:34
that's an important and important thing
47:36
to know is that I'm a pit bull and I
47:38
can't even get the information I need so
47:40
it's gonna be really tough for consumers
47:41
to be able to get this information but
47:44
an easy way to check is to look at cost
47:46
now cost isn't related to quality at all
47:49
in the natural products industry you can
47:50
have a fifty dollar supplement that you
47:52
know is garbage you know and you can
47:54
have a twelve dollar supplement that has
47:56
just tremendous value but in CBD world
47:59
if you look at the cost per milligram
48:00
that's a great indicator of value so I'm
48:04
all the brands that I've looked at I
48:05
found prices from good to excellent
48:07
we're like all over the place right so
48:09
we had really high quality stuff and and
48:12
we had ridiculously high prices and
48:14
super low good value prices so when you
48:17
plot them all out I found 10 cents per
48:19
milligram is the best value of CBD this
48:23
this is where you actually use that
48:25
stupid number in the front of the bottle
48:26
the the 500 milligrams of the 1500
48:29
milligrams you take the total cost of
48:31
the CBD product and divide it by the
48:33
amount of CBD in there and that'll give
48:35
you the cost per milligram it may seem
48:37
like well Neel saying 10 cents is okay
48:40
well this product was 12 cents so that's
48:42
a small difference well no that's a 20
48:44
percent increase we've seen stuff as
48:46
high as 90 cents per milligram the local
48:48
dispensary was charging that much it's
48:50
expensive for a weed license so I'd
48:51
imagine that's where they're trying to
48:52
make their money back but that's insane
48:54
when you can get a high quality product
48:56
for less than 10 cents topical products
48:59
oral doses and edibles will have a very
49:02
high cost per milligram compared to oils
49:05
I just got a question about the
49:06
shelf-life so most of these are good out
49:08
like 1/2
49:09
two years the expiration testing on most
49:13
of them that I've seen have been two
49:15
years so they should be good like that
49:18
the oils won't go rancid as long as they
49:20
put the proper antioxidants and such in
49:23
there so you know that's the big thing
49:25
is that when you put a chemical compound
49:27
in oil it's not going to degrade like it
49:30
would in water what's going to happen is
49:32
the oil is gonna go rancid so after you
49:35
know a year or two especially in you
49:37
know home storage conditions you're it's
49:40
just gonna get a little skanky a little
49:42
bit so you just want to make sure that
49:43
you're using fresh stuff it's time to go
49:48
over what we learned here people okay
49:51
stop talking Neil so CBD from white belt
49:55
to green belt so I wanted to revisit a
49:57
bunch of concepts to you know
49:59
reintroduce this stuff I think it's
50:00
super important CBD has tremendous
50:02
potential more research is definitely
50:04
needed the clear cut regulations have to
50:07
be put in place
50:08
putting the consumer first not these
50:09
mega corporations that are just trying
50:11
to screw us all over and we have to have
50:13
a modern progressive mindset like the
50:15
thing that makes me most nervous about
50:16
the FDA statement is like it's not
50:18
really a supplement and it needs to you
50:20
know go through a whole new drug process
50:22
and it's you know get over yourself
50:24
let's let's look at it as a supplement
50:26
because it's been around forever and
50:28
their only reason that it doesn't have
50:29
the status of all the old stuff is
50:32
because we've been prohibiting it for
50:34
way too long for stupid political
50:36
reasons so I really think CBD should be
50:38
a supplement that people use so I hope
50:41
the FDA you know kind of wakes up to
50:43
that understanding the nuances of CBD
50:45
including the strength dose package size
50:47
and dosage forms a super critical to
50:49
make helping you make a better
50:50
cost-effective decisions if you choose
50:52
to start CBD you start low at five to
50:55
ten milligrams and increase using trial
50:57
and error going slow and so that works
51:01
so go my final thought this comes up a
51:06
lot don't treat your medical care
51:08
especially CBD like you would choosing a
51:11
restaurant while you're on vacation
51:13
right this happens all the time I
51:17
understand what you're saying you know
51:19
but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go
51:20
read a few blogs I'm gonna look at
51:22
reviews

53:21
a little question-and-answer session so
53:23
let's so here thanks Kevin appreciate
53:26
that char you're the best
53:28
right any questions yes another bus
53:31
shirt that's funny let's do this won't
53:35
you
53:38
when effective how long is the effect we
53:40
answered that side effects drug
53:43
interactions and yada yada yada from
53:46
Selma hi Selma
53:48
so side effects of CBD will be related
53:51
to what it already does which is
53:54
sedating it is drowsiness some people
53:59
might have some confusion associated
54:02
with it right Steve I took a little bit
54:05
too much CBD before a conversation with
54:08
an employee the other day and it was it
54:11
was interesting I got a little bit too
54:13
much I think I overdosed by about 5x but
54:17
yes drug interactions are a real thing
54:19
and it's something that we have to be
54:20
concerned of the literature that I've
54:22
seen around drug interactions the case
54:25
studies show that it will have drug
54:28
interactions but it's in that super
54:30
intense silly high dose range so like 30
54:33
milligrams per kilogram a day which a
54:35
lot of people won't get to and Anik you
54:36
know looking back through history people
54:38
have been smoking pot and taking their
54:40
prescription drugs for a long time
54:41
without concerns of drug interactions so
54:44
I really feel like when we have more
54:46
data we can conclusively say that drug
54:48
interactions are a factor of high doses
54:50
but I would still use caution when
54:53
you're using CBD if you take medications
54:55
CBD will interact with a ton of drugs
54:58
because it's affecting the same enzymes
55:01
in our liver that and our gut that are
55:03
metabolizing everything that's important
55:06
so you know stuff like warfarin and
55:08
statin drugs and stuff like that so
55:10
let's see okay so this is a great
55:15
question how does the quality available
55:16
with a medical marijuana prescription
55:18
compare to what we sell so if it's done
55:20
right it would be the same so CBD at a
55:23
dispensary versus CBD here will be the
55:25
same the only difference that I've seen
55:28
is the cost the cost at a dispensary is
55:31
always like through the roof compared to
55:33
what we can do and there is no
55:34
difference in quality one of the things
55:37
that comes up is yeah so right Charlene
55:41
the best uses are pain or anxiety -
55:44
chills that's what people are using it
55:45
for it to kind of take that edge off
55:46
right they wanna you know take that that
55:49
little
55:50
bad off I'm gonna do this I'm gonna send
55:52
real quick I'm just gonna send everybody
55:54
a link to the products so here's how it
55:57
works
55:57
the we put the products on our site but
56:01
we didn't put any indication that their
56:04
CBD products because of that legal gray
56:06
area so they're only going to be there
56:07
for a little bit so I'm going to put the
56:10
link to the product page if you are
56:13
interested in and seeing what we have
56:15
and I will do with stock vitamins
56:23
concepts collection slash CBD webinar
56:27
2019 I think let me just see if this is
56:29
what does it I think I just forgot the
56:31
silly wait alright let me try it again
56:38
I'm new to this this is actually good
56:40
that it works I'm surprised we had music
56:42
before we had pictures of my children
56:44
how cool is that
56:56
I'm not even gonna be able to push this
56:58
out so anyway anyway you can just uh
57:00
whatever check the email it'll have all
57:03
that stuff there
57:06
alright so Boop there will be a link you
57:11
can see this again we're gonna put it up
57:13
in the future thank you for coming
57:15
everybody we appreciate it and Kristin
57:18
thank you for the compliment does your
57:21
body need more and more CBD over time
57:23
does it become less effective over time
57:25
would it need to be increased that's a
57:26
great question the big question mark
57:28
there I would assume that there's some
57:29
level of tolerance that builds up to any
57:31
of these products I'm also assuming that
57:35
the doses needed to cause tolerance are
57:37
going to be outside the range that most
57:40
people will be so again we're on the on
57:44
the lower side is what most casual users
57:46
are using it for so I think at that
57:49
point there's not going to be a lot of
57:50
accumulation but we still need all of
57:52
that data we need the pharmacokinetic
57:54
data to know how our bodies handle CBDs
57:57
so we can make these decisions more
58:01
wisely so if use it for sleep support
58:04
are you drowsy in the next morning Mike
58:07
great question one of the reasons that
58:08
I've switched almost entirely from
58:10
recommending any of the other
58:12
traditional botanicals to CBD is because
58:15
of the stuff I highlighted about it
58:17
being very predictable we know exactly
58:20
when it'll start to work we know how
58:22
easily how to track the quality stuff
58:24
and the biggest thing is that you don't
58:27
have those liabilities of the
58:29
traditional botanicals like valerian and
58:31
holy basil and all of these different
58:33
things right so we we like CBD because
58:36
if you you know if you wake up in the
58:38
middle of the night and your mind's
58:40
racing and you want to you know try a
58:41
dose of CBD this is the feedback that
58:43
I've gotten is that you can do a small
58:45
dose of it and it doesn't leave that
58:47
hangover or fuzzy foggy feeling the next
58:49
day which is super duper cool so there's
58:53
a note about peak
58:55
PTSD gets in the realm of where THC will
58:58
will succeed if we're talking about just
58:59
like anxiety and maybe some depressive
59:02
symptoms the literature's current
59:04
currently pointing towards CBD having a
59:06
great role there but if you have like
59:08
traumatic experiences it seems that the
59:10
the CBD the THC is the the better one so
59:13
you'll want a combo what about drug
59:15
testing you need more CBD if you take
59:17
one without stage say okay so this is a
59:19
good question
59:19
so will the point three percent THC
59:22
found in a lot of CBD products show up
59:24
on drug testing if you're nervous about
59:26
drug testing just get a CBD that has
59:28
zero THC which we have those those are
59:31
the ones that are in coconut oil if
59:33
you're if you end up on the site and the
59:36
the CBD THC thing is a big question mark
59:39
we know that THC will have some sort of
59:42
amplifying effect on the CBD right so
59:45
they work synergistically together the
59:47
THC will make the CBD receptors work
59:50
better is like what the preliminary
59:52
stuff says but we don't know how much
59:53
that is or like if that caps up so you I
59:57
am waiting for us to get the the data
60:00
that says yes this is exactly the amount
60:02
of THC that's needed to make this dose
60:04
of CBD more effective until then and
60:07
again for the conditions that we're
60:09
talking about the things that we're
60:10
talking about it's super low dosing so
60:11
probably CBD by itself is fine
60:13
can it be useful for arthritis that's a
60:16
good question I think the feedback that
60:19
I've gotten from people is that it can
60:22
be when I was looking up CB the first
60:26
time it it works on the Mew and Delta
60:28
opioid receptors so those are signaling
60:31
pathways that opioids use so there is
60:33
some pain mitigation arthritis and you
60:37
know the the big thing to know here is
60:38
that I'm not going to be recommending
60:41
CBD as first-line for anybody so if
60:44
somebody that has arthritis it's going
60:46
to be a less inflammatory foods eat
60:48
anti-inflammatory foods exercise do lots
60:51
of stretching you know working the
60:53
wellness pyramid use omega-3 fatty acids
60:56
use a good dose of collagen and then
60:58
once you've done all that check off all
61:00
those boxes then adding in that next
61:02
level adding in that CBD for for relief
61:05
is where we would go some people want to
61:07
skip directly to go to get some relief
61:09
so they can do all that stuff and that's
61:10
great too so all of that is a good
61:13
option so you're welcome is he good to
61:16
see you and Jenny Casey Jenny thank you
61:19
appreciate it
61:20
interesting information I got a question
61:22
on the question tab CBD and gabapentin
61:25
will they interact I am assuming that
61:28
there will be no drug interactions at
61:30
the levels that we would be using them
61:33
in I don't believe that gabapentin is
61:35
metabolized along those same pathways
61:36
I'd have to look it up but I will go
61:39
with my standby that the drug
61:41
interactions are only happening at the
61:42
mega doses and CBD and Lyme disease
61:45
treatment Steve that's a good question
61:47
so Lyme disease especially
61:50
post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome is
61:52
a painful process
61:53
so using CBD may be beneficial
61:57
especially if there's any anxiety
61:58
related symptoms the same kind of thing
62:02
the achiness that the pains the the
62:04
muscle tension all of that stuff may may
62:07
have limes may help out with that
62:11
post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome so
62:12
that is that all right so I'm done if
62:16
you guys don't have any questions I
62:18
think I'll take off and then we will do
62:20
this again answer the survey tell me
62:22
what you want me to talk about next I
62:24
really like doing this webinar thing
62:25
this is cool I've never had 60 people in
62:27
a class I've only had classes of like
62:28
eight so it's pretty cool and thank you
62:31
again any questions coming in at the
62:33
last minute could you could could you
62:35
take the oil under the tongue cause a
62:37
sore throat I don't think so it
62:39
shouldn't be that big of an irritant in
62:41
fact if anything hampel has like
62:43
anti-inflammatory compounds in it you
62:46
know it's one of those oils that has
62:47
lots of like a you know healthy fats so
62:51
I would think that it wouldn't be a
62:53
problem so all right everybody I'm out
62:56
and thank you very much for joining me
62:59
and we will talk to you sometime soon
