420 with CNW — Could Cannabis Drinks Be Better for Your Health?

As cannabis and cannabis products become more accessible thanks to a wave of drug reform that has swept through several territories, people are increasingly using marijuana as an alternative to other products. Due to recent advances in cannabis technology, specifically nano-emulsification, the market has seen an uptick in the supply of smooth, high-quality, cannabis-infused drinks.

Plenty of people are now using cannabis-infused beverages as an alternative to alcohol, with many of them preferring a calm relaxing drink that won’t leave them feeling hangover the next day. Dubbed “California sober,” exchanging alcoholic beverages for cannabis drinks is gaining popularity. Melissa Egan, 45, says alcohol used to exacerbate her perimenopause symptoms, heightening her nausea, dizziness, insomnia, night sweats, and hot flashes. Now that she drinks cannabis beverages instead, her perimenopause symptoms have become less severe, especially nausea and insomnia, and she doesn’t have to recover for a day or so after drinking.

But is cannabis actually a better alternative to alcohol? Is it better for a person’s health to indulge in cannabis rather than alcohol? According to industry experts, cannabis is indeed safer than alcohol, but that doesn’t mean that it is 100% risk free. Rebecca Jesseman, director of policy at the Canadian Center on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), says that it is difficult to conclusively state that cannabis is safer than alcohol because there isn’t a lot of research on cannabis. On the other hand, we have decades of research on alcohol use and how it affects the human body.

Additionally, she says, the two products are so different that comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges. Both substances present health risks and can lead to dependence if used in an unhealthy manner. Individually, the degree of safety will depend on how often you consume cannabis as well as the strains consumed and the consumption method. Fortunately, drinking is inherently safer than smoking. At the end of the day, however, alcohol is far more dangerous than cannabis, says Tim Stockwell, a scientist at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research.

Alcohol’s harms are much more prevalent and costly, with the Canadian Substance Use Costs and Harms Project, co-led by Stockwell, finding that alcohol causes 15 times as many deaths and hospitalizations compared to cannabis among women. Both cannabis and alcohol will leave a user physically and mentally impaired, with consuming too much cannabis in one sitting leaving you anxious and paranoid while overindulging in alcohol makes you irritable or aggressive. However, while too much alcohol can cause death via alcohol poisoning, you cannot overdose on cannabis. Stockwell concedes that more research on the effects of cannabis is needed, although several longitudinal studies of regular users haven’t revealed a major problem yet.

With the entry of companies such as BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC) into the cannabis drinks space, consumers now have plenty of options to choose from.

420 with CNW — The Difference Between CBD Oil, Cannabis Oil

The popularity of CBD oil has grown in the health and wellness space, with anecdotal evidence suggesting that it can help manage depression, anxiety, stress and pain. Cannabidiol, or CBD, oil and cannabis oil have also been advertised as natural alternatives to standard prescription medications, which many believe are one and the same. While both oils are derivatives of the cannabis plant, they are inherently different. We look at some of these differences below.

What is cannabis oil?

Cannabis oil contains THC, which is the mind-altering compound that causes an individual to get high. The sale, consumption and possession of the marijuana plant is still illegal under federal law, despite being legal recreationally in 18 states and medically legal in more than 35 states. This means that under the law, the products are considered narcotics, which makes it harder and illegal to acquire them.

In other countries, however, individuals can be prescribed cannabis oil for medical applications. It is mainly used as an alternative treatment option when other treatments have proven ineffective. Experts believe that cannabis oil can help manage issues such as pain and insomnia.

Most people also consider consuming cannabis oil to be healthier than smoking the substance, with some believing the oil to be more potent. Some individuals also believe that administering a dose of oil is more accurate than smoking the substance.

What is CBD oil?

CBD oil can be made from either the marijuana plant or the hemp plant. However, most CBD products found across the country are made from hemp as it is not legal to sell CBD products made from the cannabis plant. This is because the marijuana plant contains more than 0.3% THC, which is the psychoactive component that induces a high.

The hemp plant contains many phytocannabinoids, including cannabidiol, cannabichromenic acid, cannabigerolic acid and cannabinol, among others. CBD oil is made by mixing a carrier oil with CBD extract. Most companies use hempseed oil or olive oil as carrier oils as they boost a product’s flavor and bioavailability.

CBD oil can be categorized into three forms: full spectrum, broad spectrum and isolate.

  • Full-spectrum CBD oil contains all the phytocannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp. These compounds are mixed together to support the entourage effect, which produces a better effect than individual components.
  • Broad-spectrum CBD oil contains cannabidiol and other phytocannabinoids, excluding THC.
  • CBD isolate, which is is 99.9% CBD oil. It is the purest type of CBD oil as it contains no terpenes or other phytocannabinoids.

Established companies such as Golden Triangle Ventures Inc. (OTC: GTVH) formulate a variety of hemp-derived CBD products geared at addressing the needs of different consumers.

420 with CNW — Why Careful Cannabis Preparation Is Crucial to High-Quality Extracts

Just a couple of years into America’s state-legal cannabis industry, extracts have eclipsed cannabis flower to become the most popular cannabis product. Last year, marijuana concentrate sales increased by 40% and accounted for a large percentage of marijuana sales. People are looking for safer, more discreet ways to consume cannabis, and consequently, smoking cannabis flower and vaping have been edged out by cannabis extracts. However, marijuana extracts are quite complex to produce, requiring precise, expert care from the time the cannabis plants are in the ground until they reach the factory.

In the early days of cannabis extraction, most cannabis extractors used whatever cannabis they could get their hands on to extract cannabinoids, regardless of the trim’s quality.  However, cannabis plants absorb and store any material present in the soil, whether it is minerals and nutrients or toxic pesticides and herbicides. These impurities eventually show up in whatever product the cannabis biomass is used to make, significantly reducing their quality and making them unsafe to consume.

With that in mind, companies committed to producing high-quality cannabis extracts have to use organically grown, high-quality cannabis that has no impurities and was harvested, dried and cured properly.

Liad Chatow, the head of research and development at California-based terpene manufacturer Eybna Technologies, notes that the chances of obtaining a high-quality product depend on the richness of the raw ingredient. Less than stellar care can result in moldy cannabis, reduced potency and lost terpenes, he states, ultimately impacting the quality of the final product. Since nothing can be done to reverse this kind of damage to the raw material, extractors can save themselves significant time and money by ensuring they source organically grown cannabis that has received proper care before and after harvest.

California-based Papa & Barkley ensures the cannabis it purchases for extraction is in good shape by sending temp workers to cannabis cultivators to trim and prepare the raw cannabis to company specifications. It is the responsibility of companies to make sure that the cannabis they purchase was treated right at the farm as, unlike most industries, cannabis has no industry standards, says Papa & Barkley’s chief product officer Guy Rocourt.

On the other hand, Jason Muniz, founder and president of Texas-based hemp extractor and decorticator Texas Blue Diamond Solutions, says that proper harvesting, curing and storage before extraction is the farmers’ responsibility. His prediction is that at some point in the future, farmers will sell their hemp and cannabis at different price points depending on their quality, much like tobacco.

The highest-quality raw material would come at a premium while the lower-quality cannabis would be cheaper, he says. But before that happens, extractors who want a piece of the lucrative extracts market have to ensure the raw material they use is in good shape. This is precisely what leading companies such as The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER) do in order to come up with products that customers learn to rely on.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Hero Technologies Inc. (HENC), Veteran Hemp Company Setting High Bar in Dynamic Marketplace

Hero Technologies (OTC: HENC) and its wholly owned subsidiary Veteran Hemp Company vow to hold themselves and their products to the highest of standards as the cannabis industry grows and an increasing number of companies rush to enter the space. In addition to setting a high bar of distinction in the dynamic marketplace, the subsidiary offers another unique aspect to cannabis company ownership in its founding by veterans. “Initially, this group of entrepreneurial veterans found a nook in the American cannabis industry on the security side of things.
