420 with CNW — Report Finds Young People’s Views on Cannabis Use Is Changing

As more states across the country legalize cannabis for recreational use, attitudes toward the use of cannabis is changing. A report that was recently released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse has found that the number of young individuals who view the use of cannabis as risky behavior has decreased.

According to the report, young individuals believe that in comparison to the occasional use of cannabis, vaping cannabis is riskier. They also think that experimenting with other drugs, including LSD, sedatives, heroin or cocaine, is riskier than experimenting with cannabis.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse has been tracking the attitudes of young people and adults since the late 1970s. The Institute (“NIDA”), which is under the National Institutes of Health, began including teens in the eighth and ninth grades from 1991.

Over time, the number of young people who view the regular, occasional or experimental use of marijuana as not a big deal has increased. Last year, the percentage of young individuals that viewed the use of cannabis as risky hit an all-time low. The institute also found that individuals aged between 19 and 30 who used cannabis in the past year, in the past 30 days or daily was currently at its highest.

Data collected last year showed that nearly 10% of young individuals used cannabis almost daily or daily last month, 27% used cannabis at least once last month and more than 40% used the plant at least once in the past year. NIDA also found that vaping cannabis had been increasing since 2017. However, this trend didn’t continue into 2020, with NIDA noting that the prevalence of vaping cannabis both in August of this year and in 2020 reduced to 11% and 20% respectively.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse found that individuals aged 19 to 22 as well as those in their mid-20s were more likely to vape cannabis. The Institute also found that the use of cannabis reduced with age, with the plant’s use being most prevalent in people aged 21 to 26. The percentage of grownups who use cannabis monthly or yearly at age 50 was roughly 17% while only 11% of individuals aged 60 and above used cannabis.

Additionally, men aged 19 to 30 were more likely to use cannabis every day in comparison with women. Men in this age bracket were also more likely to have vaped cannabis, in comparison to women. College students were also found to be less likely to use cannabis when compared with their peers who weren’t attending college.

These changing attitudes towards marijuana are likely to get even more people using the substance for medicinal purposes, thereby increasing interest in the latest devices, such as those made by RYAH Group Inc., which ease the use of plant-based medicines.

CannabisNewsBreaks – Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) Enters LOI with Panamanian Importer and Distributor, Applauds Recent Cannabis Law Reforms

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC), a leading all-outdoor cultivator and manufacturer of global cannabis products and brands, today announced its entry into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Robust Farms Inc., a Panamanian importer and distributor, to supply its premium cannabidiol (“CBD”) derivative products from its Kasa Wholefoods division. In addition, Robust will be applying for its import license of cannabis products, which, upon receipt of this updated licensing, Flora expects to ship its medical-grade cannabis products. Panama’s National Legislative Assembly recently passed Bill 153 to legalize the use of medical cannabis and its therapeutic properties, and Panama is expected to become the first country in Central America to regulate the use of medical cannabis. “It’s important to recognize the continued trend of medical and adult-use cannabis legalization sweeping across the globe as governments increasingly recognize its therapeutic properties and want to control, regulate and tax these products to foster economic prosperity, as well as bring significant reform in civil rights and criminal justice,” said Luis Merchan, president and CEO of Flora Growth. “We applaud the efforts of Panamanian legislators and advocacy groups to push forward this initiative that will ultimately help provide options for patients who are looking to improve their quality of life by utilizing emerging cannabinoid therapeutic treatments and look forward to working with local partners to provide our medical-grade cannabis products to the citizens of Panama.” To view the full press release, visit https://cnw.fm/Lzqz3 About Flora Growth Corp.

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.
