Anything with THC is going to expereate symptoms. Plus it’s non FDA approved selling on the internet - probably safer buying Viagra from a Mexican pharmacy 

I believe that CBD oil products by definition do not have THC, or such a low amount that it has no effect.  I've tried some, which I ordered from Colorado.  It helped me sleep, but it is risky, and as you said it isn't FDA approved.

I’d never put anything in my body from the internet. And yes, it has enough THC to fail a drug test.

 

Hello BenzoBFree123-

 

This statement is simply not true.

 

According to Quest Diagnostics Director of Science and Technology, Barry Sample, CBD likely won’t show up on a drug test: “If the product contains only CBD and has had the THC removed, then an individual being tested would not be expected to test positive for marijuana or marijuana metabolite.”

"The potency of the psychoactive component of marijuana (THC) has increased over time."  That is simply not true, and the people who are ignorant of the history of marijuana always say something to that effect.  There may have been an increase in THC in the cannabis that the average person uses today, as opposed to 40 years ago, but very powerful varieties were always available if you knew where to find it.  There were imported varieties that were even stronger, and better in other ways because it was grown outdoors in tropical climates, than much of what is being sold legally now in North America.

Dude, the stuff out there ain't what your parents smoked. I don't recall any "imported varieties" produced with hydroponic technology.

I was there, lol, and I'm still here and know what's around today.  The exotic imported varieties of marijuana that we got, which usually cost two to three as much as the average person paid for typical stuff in those days, were as good or better than most anything around today, except perhaps certain extracts that we didn't have.  If the best Thai Stick was available today, exactly as it was back then, it would sell for more than the best dispensary weed available.

I don't have to answer that question, but I will.  No, I am not "high on drugs".  I have been off benzodiazepines (Klonapin) for six weeks. I used some vaporized marijuana about a week ago, but I do not consider that to be a "drug", in the same sense as the artificial ones. 

 

There is no "source" which proves or disproves my claim, that I know of, but if you think that all of the marijuana we had some 35 to 50 years ago was weak compared to what is around today, I'm sorry to inform you that you are misinformed at best, and gullible at worst.

Still laughing. You're talking about back in the day nonsense about how you were there and associated with drug dealers from what I can infer. That's like asking Cheech and Chong for a history lesson.

 

Fact you're still smoking marijuana 35-50 years later is pretty sad. Sober up pal.

You sound like a pretty judgmental person, regarding cannabis, for a young person with a history of heavy Klonopin use for ten years.  You've probably taken ten times more benzodiazepines than I have in my entire life, and you are telling me to "sober up", because I use a small amount of cannabis on occasion.  There's nothing wrong with somebody having a serious drug problem, and I certainly do not want to offend anybody who has experienced it, but I draw the line at hypocrisy and insults.

 

The bottom line is, you're very wrong about there not being marijuana that was potent some 40 or more years ago, but apparently you have made up your mind so there's not much else to say. 

 

Overuse of anything is possible, but not a single death in history has been attributed to cannabis use.

There is a plethora of information about the medical benefits of cannabis.  Longtime users appear to have a lower rate of cancer and dementia according to leading physicians who incorporate medical cannabis into their practices.

 

Opioid users can be helped to get off their pain medication with proper substitution of medical cannabis. 

 

Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, autism, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis and insomnia are a few conditions that can be helped with proper use of medical cannabis. 

 

Those of us who've been so negatively impacted by Western medicine and the casual prescribing of drugs with devastating consequences have looked seriously into plant-based and other natural remedies for our conditions.

Citation of New Drug Code

 

BBF123 ... CBD does not fall into this category:

 

  * The new drug code (7350) established in the Final Rule does not include materials or products that are excluded from the definition of marijuana set forth in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).1

  * The new drug code includes only those extracts that fall within the CSA definition of marijuana.

  * If a product consisted solely of parts of the cannabis plant excluded from the CSA definition of marijuana, such product would not be included in the new drug code (7350) or in the drug code for marijuana (7360).

 

The new drug code is a subset of what has always been included in the CSA definition of marijuana. By creating a new drug code for marijuana extract, the Final Rule divides into more descriptive pieces the materials, compounds, mixtures, and preparations that fall within the CSA definition of marijuana. Both drug code 7360 (marijuana) and new drug code 7350 (marijuana extract) are limited to that which falls within the CSA definition of marijuana.

You read it wrong. Marijuana extracts – including cannabidiol (CBD) – fall under Schedule I drug classification, making all forms of the plant illegal under federal law. In the announcement, "Establishment of a New Drug Code for Marihuana Extract," the DEA revealed a new identification number for marijuana extract, which is defined as: "an extract containing one or more cannabinoids that has been derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis, other than the separated resin (whether crude or purified) obtained from the plant." It simply created a new subset code under marijuana - so it recognized as a Schedule I drug now (just like marijuana)

 

With that said, CBD is now considered a Schedule I controlled substance, alongside heroin and LSD, because there is no proven medical use for CBD and it has a high potential for abuse, according to the DEA.

In the announcement, "Establishment of a New Drug Code for Marihuana Extract," the DEA revealed a new identification number for marijuana extract, which is defined as: "an extract containing one or more cannabinoids that has been derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis, other than the separated resin (whether crude or purified) obtained from the plant." It simply created a new subset code under marijuana - so it recognized as a Schedule I drug now (just like marijuana)

 

With that said, CBD is now considered a Schedule I controlled substance, alongside heroin and LSD, because there is no proven medical use for CBD and it has a high potential for abuse, according to the DEA.

 

No... you read it wrong BBF123:

 

"However, as indicated above, if a product, such as oil from cannabis seeds, consisted solely of parts of the cannabis plant excluded from the CSA definition of marijuana, such product would not be included in the new drug code (7350) or in the drug code for marijuana (7360), even if it contained trace amounts of cannabinoids".5

 

If I wanted to, I could go anywhere in the country & purchase approved/ regulated CBD products.

I choose to not use cannabis products. I just try to be un-biased & non- judgemental. I am simply just trying to  state the facts here 

False. Even a huge advocate like High Times agreed it is a Schedule I.

First off the links you provided are out dated. The updated, revised document from the DEC that I posted is the most recent revision along with this amendment directly from the Federal register effective on Jan. 13th 2017:

 

Federal Register Published Document

 

 

Final Action

 

After careful consideration of all comments, the DEA is hereby amending 21 CFR 1308.11(d) to include a new subparagraph (58) which creates a new code number in Schedule I as follows:

 

“(58) Marihuana Extract—7350

 

“Meaning an extract containing one or more cannabinoids that has been derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis, other than the separated resin (whether crude or purified) obtained from the plant.”

 

The creation of this new drug code in the DEA regulations for marihuana extracts allows for more appropriate accounting of such materials consistent with treaty provisions. Such marihuana Start Printed Page 90196extracts remain in Schedule I. Entities registered to handle marihuana (under drug code 7360) that also handle marihuana extracts, will need to apply to modify their registrations to add the new drug code 7350 to their existing DEA registrations and procure quotas specifically for drug code 7350 each year.

As an international forum whose mission is to support those who are withdrawing or recovering from benzodiazepines, we leave it to our members to make decisions based on the laws of their respective countries.

 

As to the USA’s current discrepancy between state and federal laws re cannabis, we leave that up to the individual. 

 

Let’s return to topic now, please.

"The potency of the psychoactive component of marijuana (THC) has increased over time."  That is simply not true, and the people who are ignorant of the history of marijuana always say something to that effect.  There may have been an increase in THC in the cannabis that the average person uses today, as opposed to 40 years ago, but very powerful varieties were always available somewhere.  If you knew the right people, you could get cannabis that had as much or more THC as the average marijuana today, in fact I would say that there were imported varieties that were even stronger, and better in other ways, than much of what is being sold legally now.

Dude, the stuff out there ain't what your parents smoked. Your retort is a baseless opinion

I was there, lol.  The exotic imported varieties of hashish and marijuana we got, which usually cost two to three as much as the average person paid for their average stuff, were as good or better than most anything around today, except perhaps certain extracts that we didn't have.

Your source is you high on drugs? 

You are asking ME, "Your source is you high on drugs", then laughing - that's the funniest thing I've read yet. 

 

I don't have to answer that question, but I will.  No, I am not "high on drugs".  I have been off benzodiazepines (Klonapin) for six weeks. I used some vaporized marijuana about a week ago, but I do not consider that to be a "drug", in the same sense as the artificial ones. 

 

There is no "source" which proves or disproves my claim, that I know of, but if you think that all of the marijuana we had some 35 to 50 years ago was weak compared to what is around today, I'm sorry to inform you that you are misinformed at best, and gullible at worst.

You may engage in polite and respectful discussion, but not insults.  This is the point Bella is making.

 

BenzoBuddies doesn't condone the promotion of illegal substances, but cannabis is no longer illegal in many places now. 

 

There is a plethora of information about the medical benefits of cannabis.  Longtime users appear to have a lower rate of cancer and dementia according to leading physicians who incorporate medical cannabis into their practices.

 

Opioid users can be helped to get off their pain medication with proper substitution of medical cannabis. 

 

Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, autism, high blood pressure, cancer, arthritis and insomnia are a few conditions that can be helped with proper use of medical cannabis. 

 

Those of us who've been so negatively impacted by Western medicine and the casual prescribing of drugs with devastating consequences have looked seriously into plant-based and other natural remedies for our conditions. 

 

ProjectCBD.org is a good website for scholarly articles on the benefits of medical cannabis.  Worth a look.

Cannabis is a Schedule I substance per the Drug Enforcement Agency. Your reference to studies on medical use of cannabis are yet to be recognized by the US Federal government and respective laws which I abide. It's a shame that a forum intended to aid in the betterment of others would allow for a gateway drug to enter the conversation.

 

Citation of New Drug Code

 

BBF123 ... CBD does not fall into this category:

 

  * The new drug code (7350) established in the Final Rule does not include materials or products that are excluded from the definition of marijuana set forth in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).1

  * The new drug code includes only those extracts that fall within the CSA definition of marijuana.

  * If a product consisted solely of parts of the cannabis plant excluded from the CSA definition of marijuana, such product would not be included in the new drug code (7350) or in the drug code for marijuana (7360).

 

The new drug code is a subset of what has always been included in the CSA definition of marijuana. By creating a new drug code for marijuana extract, the Final Rule divides into more descriptive pieces the materials, compounds, mixtures, and preparations that fall within the CSA definition of marijuana. Both drug code 7360 (marijuana) and new drug code 7350 (marijuana extract) are limited to that which falls within the CSA definition of marijuana.

WRONG!!! What high times Did was report what the DEA have done making it  C1 in your country, and what they actually said regarding the Law change by the DEA was... 'The idea of classifying weed and now CBD, as well as cannabis extracts (psychoactive or not), as a Schedule 1 drug, along with heroin is nothing less than an outrage.
