T

he future is bright for Florida with the Hemp revolution. I am excited and hope you are too as I have seen the wonders of CBD both on Humans and Pets. But see for yourself do not let others sway you until you see what it does. There are many articles are out there that talk about a lack of scientific proof behind the entourage effect, I can tell you that those scientist are probably not patients themselves. Once you feel it’s power you know for sure it exist, without the need to make any medical claims, if it makes you feel better you know it does. If you suffer from health issues that CBD has improved better than other medications, you know the truth is out. You do not need further studies or articles to turn you into a believer or a Government agency to confirm what you already know and feel in your body. I am excited for what this will bring into our state and with the testing requirements we will for sure know what we have in the products we purchase. I have purchased products in the past that I did not find effective and now you will feel safety when knowing what a product contains.

These is a historic moment for Florida and the whole nation as we have moved to legalized the Hemp market creating a new Hemp Industrial Revolution.

The Florida patient’s had asked and it came.

Both Trulieve and Altmet Muv have provided solutions. Think your voice does not matter.

This is proof that it does.

Multi-Step Process The proprietary multi-step process includes separating glandular trichomes under extremely cold conditions with the use of sieves, static charge, vibration, filtration, and high pressure.

Pure Fire High quality full spectrum extract with the perfect balance between potency and flavor.

Up in Smoke

Light it Up Testing the pre-rolls and they are all not made the same. Both Trulieve and Altmed offer some fire.

NEW There are many options, But both of the Florida MMTCs listed above seem to offer the best choices.

We expect buds of flower to be packed in the pre-rolls, not trim. And I am very happy with the consistency in quality.

Other dispensaries may not put the best buds in their pre-rolls.

Strain Slayer’s Beach Cleanup The Strain Slayer volunteer group is a 100% cannabis community sponsored beach clean up team. lead By Brian Gray A.k.a ”Strain Slayer” we are out to Slay the Stigmas and Stereotypes society has placed on cannabis patients.

What better way to do that than to give back to our community and clean up our beautiful beaches. The booming beaches of Florida make a great place to educate the public and show them that we aren’t “A bunch of lazy stoners” we’ve vowed to clean 12 beaches in 2019, and so far the first 6 have been a huge success. Together we can educate the world and change the way people think about cannabis and the patients that use it.

Cannabis Heals Treatment can help, but this condition can’t be cured

What is Arthritis?

There are two types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

They show up as joint pain and stiffness and worsen as you age.

S

tatistics claim that over 56% of arthritis patients are under 65. This disease affects people of many ages even children. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints which causes pain and several other symptoms.

The initial symptoms of arthritis

are usually stiffness, especially in the morning, pain and swelling around the joints. You get tired more quickly than you used to, restless sleep becomes typical, and over time it progressively becomes difficult to move joints and even to use your own hands.

Once again, there is no cure for arthritis. Depending on the type

Arthritis can cause permanent joint changes.

of the disease itself, there are a few more or less effective treatment options. There are many cannabinoids in the plant, but THC and CBD are the ones “in charge” for fighting pain and inflammation. When researchers first noticed that cannabis has some potential in treating chronic pain, they basically didn’t have a clue how that actually happens. They first discovered that the joints of people suffering from arthritis have extremely high levels of CB1 receptors. That led them to conclude that the substances in marijuana which trigger the activation of those receptors have the potential to reduce inflammation, as well to reduce pain.

Preferred the White Widow If you are going to try them go for White Widow is the more effective out of the two.

Flower Testing

Bruce Banner and White Widow Two awesome strains that need to go back to the lab for additional work.

C

ureleaf is the company with the biggest market cap in the cannabis business and with that said, these two strains from them need additional work to make them more effective.

Both are very fresh, they lacked trichomes and aroma.

T

he biggest take away is when medicating in the morning. Unless you have another source of medication these two leave you looking for a different strain or different product.

I keep hearing their Afghany is good flower as well as another strain that is suppose to be in the 30%.

We can improve with a little glass for my friends.

Hemp Industry

Hemp Revolution Creating the state hemp program within the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

SB 1020 Florida’s Hemp On June 26, 2019 Florida’s Governor Ron Desantis closed the day by signing the Hemp Bill

T

his new bill now allows the Department of Agriculture to create regulations regarding licensing and cultivation of hemp. This new Bill places our State into an agri-

cultural green industrial revolution.

Nikki Fried believes this could place a boost in our farm and rural sectors of the economy. The State’s Hemp program will create a multi-billion dollar industry.

Florida will become a pioneer, said Senate bill sponsor Rob Bradley, RFleming Island Hemp has over 20k uses and the Hemp industry in the US is worth over 700 million annually. It can be turned into products such as fabrics, construction materials, plastic, milk.

Hemp is a fully biodegradable product. This Bill also regulates CBD which treats many conditions such as insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety and many others. This is also bringing test and product safety standards.

Lose the Plastics There is nothing better for Cannabis storage than glass, specially for Cannabis shipped in the hot Florida heat.

The patient’s are asking for Glass jars.

A

ir to Light and temperature can each affect the quality of your Cannabis flower.

So what is the best way of storing Cannabis flower, Plastic, Glass or Metal Plastic is not recommended for storing Cannabis because it’s moldability. It can leak chemicals that change the flavor of the flower. Specially when transported in the hot florida heat. If

12

July 2019 · Florida Buds Magazine

you leave the flower long enough during transporation in the hot heat, your flower will lose it’s euphoric feel and degrade into CBN. Also at high heat the medicinal properties of the terpenes will dry out.

As yourself this questions. Have you experienced flower that had a decarb feel ?

Arelative humidity (RH) level between 59% and 63% is ideal to keep your weed as consistently fresh in terms of potency, aroma, flavor, texture, and color.

A Glass jar is imperative as it is airtight, impermeable to oxygen, not affected by humidity and inert to temperature fluctuatiions.

Now Glass jars will not protect it from drying up and becoming brittle.

The static charge on plastic may fry the trichomes

Cannabis Health

Quercetin Anyone?

Independent effects of quercetin directly reduce fat tissue growth and development. Promotes health through weight reduction

T

Quercetin suppresses proinflammatory cytokines production through MAP kinases andNF-kappaB pathway

here are many benefits to Cannabis. And one of my unexpected finding has been weight loss. I had been trying to find the reason that I seem to have lost excess fat and my weight has reach a much balanced point. I had attributed this to a raised metabolism from my sativa preference but as I read and noticed that I have a high comsumption of RSO, my testing leads me to believe quercetin high strains may have

a responsibility to bear on my weight loss and improvement wth aging inflammation. Aging is a progressive degenerative process tightly integrated with inflammation. Quercetin transiently increases energy expenditure but persistently decreases circulating markers of inflammation.

Quercetin, a polyphenolic compound and a major bioflavonoid in the human diet, has anti-inflammatory properties and has been postulated to enhance energy expenditure.

Terpenes Terp #tuesday INTERPENING

Interpening is the art of evaluating Cannabis quality and determining psychotropic effects.

It’s Terp #tuesday so you know

by IG @The Green NP

Everyone raves on about limonene, myrcene and pinene but today I will highlight some of the other terpenes that are commonly found in cannabis that are under looked.

Humulene

Beta-Caryophyllene

Trans-Nerolidol

Humulene is a terpene also commonly found in clove, basil, and hops that leaves a subtle earthy, woody aroma with spicy herbal notes.

What’s cool about Humulene is that although most people associate the munchies with cannabis, humulene is actually known to suppress hunger.

Additionally, Humulene is known to have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties.

It is also unique because it has synergistic effects with CBC, CBG to boost its antifungal effects, THC for anticoagulation, and THCA, CBGA as an insecticidal. When combined with beta-caryophyllene, it helps with cancer drug delivery.

SPICY Caryophyllene or beta-Caryophyllene is a spicy, peppery terpene found in spices like black pepper, cloves, and cinnamon, as well as herbs like oregano, basil, hops, and rosemary. Caryophyllene carries anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant properties. One of its unique features is that studies have demonstrated that due to its large size and structure it is able to activate several receptors in the body, including CB2, which is usually activated most by CBD. Some studies even elude that it may help reduce alcohol cravings as well as provide gastric protection! It carries synergistic effects with CBG and CBD to achieve further analgesic benefits.·

CITRUS Trans-nerolidol is an aromatic terpene found in jasmine, tea tree, and lemongrass that provides floral aromas combined with notes of fruity citrus, apples, and rose. This terpene tends to bring sedative effects and is believed to that inhibit the growth of parasites, fungi, and other microbials. In fact, it is considered a powerful toxin against harmful protozoa like malaria and leishmaniasis. It is also aids in delivering drugs through the skin. It’s sedative effects can be enhanced when combined with THC, CBN, or myrcene.·

EARTHY

Strains that are known to test high in humulene include White Widow, Jack Herer, GSC, and Headband.

Strains such as Island Sweet Skunk, Jack Herer, and Skywalker OG are known to contain high levels of this terpene.

Strains that are known to produce higher levels of caryophyllene include AMS, Diamond girl, OG Kush, Bubba Kush, and Chemdawg.
