The New FDA Guidelines for CBD medications

The FDA recently put out a new draft for CBD medications speeding up the approval to use generic CBD medications for this. This can change the way that CBD is used medicinally, potentially paving the path for cannabis usage and growth to treat various medical conditions.

The new qualifications

This is something that determines the medication and then equivalent within the marketplace. This is now allowing CBD users and companies  to get a waiver from the FDA, provided they meet the requirements for this as well.

The qualifications are as follows:

  • The generic types of the CBD solutions need to have the same type of concentration and the dosage of the product that’s considered the reference listed drug.
  • It also should not have any major formula changes or different active ingredients that change the bioavailability of the product.
  • The CBD medications need less than .1% THC in them 
  • They also must have the botanical raw material listed from the species, and also be able to look at the correct type of species and how it’s identified
  • Due to the variety of different cultivars that are out there, they now need to properly authenticate each cultivator, and that’ll be used as the BRM basis that’s out there.
  • They need to follow then proper guidelines of the Good Agricultural and Collection Practices, ensuring that there are very little variations to this, offering some consistency from one specific batch of drugs to the next.
  • This is something that’s been put out, so that the people can get these generic varieties of drugs faster than waiting for it to be approved.

New Means to Study CBD

Probably the biggest thing about this isn’t the new requirements but instead the new approval from the FDA to study CBD in order to find out more about the cannabinoid, and also how it can help others. People.

They would look at the different concentrations, and also what was on the label that was listed.

This actually solicited new companies in order to help study the CBD that’s there, and some of the other cannabinoids that are there. They would collect and look at some of the samples, to find out the quality and also some of the other types of health products that come with this.

This includes all manner of CBD product such as oil, tinctures, baked goods, and even candy and water for those to better understand this  They would look at the samples that are provided there, and they would look to make sure that the CBD within all of this is fresh enough. They work to ensure that the bacteria, such as salmonella and the like aren’t’ there, and they get the proper analysis that’s there.

This goal is to properly address the guidelines in order to help with better understanding of CBD, and also of the different other products that come around with this. 

This is something that’s still being looked at today, and there are tons of people who are looking to get the full benefit of CBD and the other products that are there.

What does this mean for the future of this cannabinoid a lot actually. A ton of people can now use CBD for a variety of applications, and it’s less that it’s a bad product, but instead, one that definitely offers newfound potential for those who need it.

We hope that with those FDA requirements and some of the other new additions we not only see the beginning of a new and fun means to get CBD for different uses, but also a possible road for proper cannabis usage, and educating others on THC products too. 

Strains for GERD 

GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux affects around 20% of people in the US, causing chest pain, issues with swallowing, and vomiting. It’s important to make sure that you try to get treatment for this, but some people have found that cannabis is a great way to treat GERD symptoms in ways that are beneficial to you. 

Using Cannabis for GERD 

This is used in a lot of cases to help with the munchies, but suppression of your appetite is a symptom of GERD, since a lot of people eat a lot less since they don’t want to digest and swallow. 

This can boost your appetite, helping you eat despite the discomfort. It also can be used to help with soothing a lot of pain.  for those who have chemotherapy, nausea, and the like, THC can help with reducing this, and the CBD in the cannabis plant can help with anxiety, reducing the distress that you feel and helping you unwind as well. 

You may want to use it topically to the areas you feel discomfort, or take it as a tincture after you have a meal to help with the acid in your stomach being produced. Some also like to smoke afterwards to help with reducing the feelings of nausea, along with cramping as well. 

The best strains 

Below are some of the best strains for those who have GERD, since this is good and may offer some effective symptoms.  Again, not all of these may be ideal for you. 

Thin mints, which is similar to peppermint oil is a strain that combines girl scout cookies with Durban poison, and it tastes like a mint after you have dinner. It naturally soothes your stomach, making digestion possible. 

Ringo’s Gift is another one, which is great for pain relief, especially in your esophagus, since swallowing is one of the common issues people with GERD have, so this can offer some relief from the pain in many people. 

Pure Kush is another one, since this is another good one because it offers pain relief. It’s indica, so it will leave you couch locked, so it’s best to consume this one at night. 

Grandaddy purple has a large amount of THC, and is good for those who are experienced with this strain. If you’re new to using cannabis and aren’t used to the potency of this, take this ne slow, since this is good for relaxing and sleeping and also helping to reduce GERD symptoms that are aggravated 

Blue Hawaiian is a great one to help with mellowing you out, melting away stress when you feel worried about this.  It is good for daytime use due to the high levels of sativa, to help you feel revived, uplifted, and happy as well. 

OG Kush is another one, since this is one that’s great for the anti-nausea results that are there. If you feel liked your stomach is going to turn upside down, or are struggling to hold back vomit, this is a good one for stomach settling.  It also is one that is very high in THC, so do be mindful of when you use it, and if you have to use it during the day after a vomiting episode, use the strain sparingly. 

Finally, we have holy grail Kush, which is another one that’s good for a lot of conditions. It’s an award-winning strain mixture of OG#18 and kosher Kush, two also highly acclaimed strains. This is another good one for nausea and pain in your abdomen, also helping to naturally stimulate the appetite so you feel better in no time!
