DEA moves some CBD medicines off Schedule 1, a limited expansion of cannabis access

[erash]

Important re. legal issues, cost (will insurance now cover?) and regulation of purity. It also will determine WHO is $ benefiting: big pharma or small marijuana dispensaries.

This is a step forward but the pharmaceutical companies, and those who either have really good insurance or lots of money, seem to be the only ones that may benefit.

My daughter is multi handicapped and often will stop eating (we, and her doctors have never really known why other than maybe it is one thing she can control). We have tried the legal appetite stimulants, which have not worked. I have been hoping that non synthetic CBD oil would become legal, so we could try it. I know that, when my mother had cancer and was taking chemotherapy, marijuana worked wonderfully.

erash,

Interesting. I am waiting for more information on this but I see it as a struggle to see who will benefit $$$. It always seems to be a follow the money, and not a medicinal wonder drug. Perhaps that is changing right now.

Keep Smiling,
