Delivery Methods for Medical Marijuana
Dr. Jordan Tishler discusses the different technologies for medical marijuana. Usage methods come in the form of inhalation, smoking or vaporizing, ingestion in pill form. This can change the speed and effectiveness of medical use. Consequently, different delivery devices are on the market. Effects of THC versus the supportive chemicals in cannabis come into play. The supportive chemicals help cannabis do its job for medical benefits. Hear what the medical industry has learned about different methods and their effects.
Marijuana Sales are Up in the 2020 Pandemic
Morgan Fox is the Media Relations Director at the National Cannabis Industry Association. He reports that during the pandemic this year, marijuana use has increased. This brings a rebound to the industry that had declining sales by the end of 2019. Despite increased sales, dispensaries still face more obstacles that other industries. They are denied banking, they have difficulty getting loans and are denied state and federal funds. Even being allowed delivery services and curbside pickup have been an obstacle.
CBD Benifits for COVID-19?
Stuart Tomc works in the Regulatory Department of CV Sciences as Vice President of Science, Regulation and Education. New interests in the benefits of marijuana have led us to explore the benefits of cannabinoids. Scientists discovered that cannabinoids are imuno and neuromodulatory. They modulate the immune system in a way that is different from global steroids. Cannabinoids do not block things the way that steroids do, instead, they modulate the hyperactive immune response and it may have some anti-inflammatory effects. This has treatment potential on virulent conditions.
