00:02 So today we will continue talking about endocannabinoid system in medical cannabis and medical

00:09 . Just the reminder that this is of the major homo static body regulatory

00:16 but it also plays a very significant in the brain. There are certain

00:21 of the system as you learned which the enzymes the endocannabinoid And their target

00:27 chapter CB one and CB two You saw that these receptors in particular

00:34 slide relates to the expression of CB receptors that is also responsible for in

00:41 endocannabinoid system for causing a bliss happy your like effect by controlling neural transmission

00:49 endocannabinoid but also with Fido can avenues exile exogenous cannabinoids That is also going

00:57 be affecting different parts of the brain contains CB one and CB two

01:02 So we talked about major parts of brain of functions here And where there

01:07 a lot of expression of CB one . We also talked about the fact

01:11 CB two receptors are also expressed in and glia they're more dominant and glia

01:18 . And the other thing that we is that these CB receptors cannabinoid receptors

01:23 the most predominantly a protein coupled receptors the brain in neurons. CB one

01:32 through this deep polarization induced suppression of or deep polarization induced suppression of inhibition

01:39 you have deep polarization present ethically with . You would have calcium and deep

01:44 here production of unbroken ambulance and this feedback Retrograde fashion or travel will bind

01:51 the CB one. This episode located synaptic terminals. They will control the

01:56 of calcium of blocking calcium voltage gated through G protein coupled complexes and controlling

02:04 release of glutamate. So deep polarization suppression of excitation with subsequent intimate and

02:10 polarization induced suppression of inhibition if there too much of gathered that's being released

02:15 there's too much austin optic stimulation. subsequently with harbor early stimulation as

02:22 Also No CB two receptors are dominant the wheel southland particular microbial cells.

02:29 we discussed that there instead of controlling process like neural transmission Like CB one

02:36 CB two receptors and we are there are more concerned with the functions that

02:43 are responsible for the microbe leah. of the functions is control of inflammatory

02:50 and pro inflammatory side of and we the circuit behind the munchies how activation

02:59 CB one receptor can actually enhance the of smell. So you can think

03:04 under cannabinoids can enhance the sense of evacuating CB one receptor then exogenous spite

03:10 phenomenons can also enhance the sense of and enhancing that sense of smell will

03:18 appetite and will promote feeding behavior. CB 1 receptors are mostly controlling your

03:27 CB two inflammation and we talked about few other slides in this lecture.

03:37 what we understand about medical cannabis and society thinks about medical cannabis is created

03:48 media and special interests and a few that ran the government And a few

03:56 interest families that were controlling the And we're talking about 1930's immediately,

04:04 after the end of alcohol prohibition. alcohol was illegal Until 1932.

04:14 and then it became legal, the , this is what alcohol prohibition

04:21 And all of a sudden there was individual in the regulatory agencies in the

04:27 States that said that we think that and he actually said that statement on

04:33 capitol hill in Washington D. Is the most dangerous drug and substance

04:41 exists. And so the eradication of candidates and the long culture of using

04:50 and candidates and medicinal preparations was deleted the time and it was of course

04:57 by special interests by very large families were running either timber or chemical

05:05 which is the Dupont family that had lawyers and had their process controlling the

05:14 . The medical community never was a , cannabis, cannabis or marijuana and

05:23 for cannabis historically used for hundreds of . And medical community even at these

05:31 stages of cannabis prohibition at this early is the medical community was responding and

05:41 the regulators to leave Canada's and half researched further one additional purposes, but

05:50 was not the case. Instead. Madness has ensued. It was a

05:57 that was created that called marijuana that cry for it and die for

06:03 Reefer Madness. The burning section accession that makes beasts of men and women

06:13 ng into frightful perversions, innocent youth of a new sex crazed marijuana unleashed

06:23 . Oh my God, that sounds like the uh sex industry should have

06:28 many different marijuana preparations by now. you know, maybe there's some truth

06:34 stimulating some of this behavior in a sense, but not in an aggressive

06:41 . And this hypothesis of gateway that if you basically small cannabis and

06:49 that will lead you into harder that will lead you to this

06:54 perverted sex behavior. And all of had very strong racial undertones. White

07:02 , if they smoke marijuana, they go with brown men, they would

07:07 with mexicans and they would date black . And that's just horrible. So

07:13 was the whole thing that media was on in the public and the special

07:19 , We're eradicating the plant to have interests from the timber or chemical factories

07:29 by the sorts of production. The thing is that this mentality still

07:38 If you ask some of the older and people that are not even in

07:42 cannabis industry that are even younger people they will say, well, what

07:47 you think? It's bad, Why it bad? Because there's a

07:54 And if there is usually an well, it can lead to,

07:58 a gateway drug. It's but that drug hypothesis has been disproved. Canada's

08:04 less addictive than nicotine, that's less than Kathleen as a matter of

08:11 Okay, so this gateway hypothesis and we know that a lot of times

08:17 not the first thing that younger adults not Children would try in the absence

08:24 their parents and not promoting. And think what it just happened. So

08:28 got into my parents liquor cabinet when was six years old, that was

08:33 first thing cigarette, you know? what is the gateway drop? But

08:40 mentality persists and dominates the 20th century , we don't understand much about the

08:47 until there is this to think that should understand a little bit about.

08:51 then they have even a question for about this. It's called high performance

08:55 chromatography and it's an analytic analytical chemistry that is used to separate identify and

09:03 each component in the mixture. It on prompts to pass a pressurized liquid

09:09 containing the sample mixture through a This is a column that it passes

09:15 packing material column. Mhm filled with solid absorbent material. Each component in

09:24 sample interacts slightly differently with absorbent material this column, causing different flow rates

09:31 they flow different clips for the different and leading to the separation of these

09:37 ingredients in the solid mix here as flow out of the column and then

09:44 one as it flows out of the gets detected by this detector the waist

09:49 discarded and the active fella must get by the detector. They get computerized

09:57 presented as these peaks. Okay so is a principle behind behind high performance

10:04 chromatography or liquid chromatography in general. more sophisticated techniques that have been developed

10:12 . Why should you care about Because most of the time when you're

10:16 about preparations, botanical preparations, that in pharma copia and Pharmacopeia was the

10:26 of medicines, the substances and how use them for medicinal purposes. That

10:31 present before there were other regulatory agencies were established such as Food and Drug

10:38 which was only really formally taken its . Although the food substances different substances

10:47 food and supplements were Starting to be from 1906. But formally food and

10:55 administration and controlling the active ingredients in really didn't formalize until the 40s,

11:01 , 60s and even 70's when it up with a certain schedule of

11:07 So now what you have is most the preparations and the pharma copious were

11:15 botanical extracts. So you can take route and you can take this plant

11:20 you can take this leave and you soak it in alcohol and then you

11:25 make this concoction. And so and there was H. P.

11:30 C. And liquid chromatography techniques, really didn't have a good way to

11:37 the molecules from these preparations and as know France and fruit and anything that

11:48 natural mushrooms, lettuce vegetables also contain number of ingredients. And so we

11:58 know what was the active ingredient really is causing in Canada's. We didn't

12:04 what this active ingredient is that is this effect of of euphoria or the

12:11 effect. Until After the h. . o. c. was developed

12:16 the 1960s 1960 for Dr. Mateos isolates and correctly describes the primary

12:27 ingredients and the cannabis plant, Delta Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Within about 20

12:37 there are two Delta 9 synthetic medications our pharmaceutical medications that are released Babylon

12:47 the national. They're both 2.5 THC tablets that are used in the

12:54 stimulation as empire medic as we refer . Last lecture in the wasting syndromes

13:01 is quite common with chemotherapy and terminal . So the synthetic DELTA nine THC

13:09 FDA Food and Drug administration approved preparations been around since 1980. Plant based

13:19 nine THC And the second most prevalent cannabinoid that is found in Canada on

13:27 came about only in 2005. So 50 years after the isolation of this

13:34 nine THC molecule, the big Malls is actually a combination of 1

13:41 1 THC. To CBD buckle spray it's a spray that you spray in

13:47 cheek or underneath your tongue because most the absorption you have of active ingredients

13:53 the oral cavity is in the cheek . Sublingual lee and in the upper

14:01 where you have the best rates of of the active ingredient. So the

14:07 Smalls is used for anti spasms. anti spasmodic or spastic activity and or

14:18 in multiple tourism. But this drug um also it's not available in the

14:26 States and all of the drugs that seeing in the slide or pharmaceutical of

14:33 that are approved by F. A. And can be prescribed by

14:39 qualified physicians. These are pharmaceutical cannabinoid . There are some panic And they're

14:48 plant based but the victim also is available in the United States available.

14:52 thinking about 25 different countries that originated the UK. It was quite available

14:59 most of the european countries and beyond second plan days drug didn't see its

15:06 and approval by the until 2016, was Cannabidiol, oral solution or a

15:16 chur the drops that is mixed with seed oil, alcohol, strawberry

15:25 Not really plasm or good preparation, I would not consider it. But

15:30 has been tested and it is very as anti convulsive. Some meaning it

15:37 seizures and especially the types of features are intractable for types of epilepsy is

15:47 are intractable. Intractable means they cannot treated by readily available pharmaceutical medications and

15:56 plant derived CBD helps in particular DR . And lemons get stopped syndrome upward

16:04 . So it is now approved in United States On schedule five of the

16:11 proof and can be prescribed been used anti convulsants. These are all of

16:18 FDA approved medications in this country. really have dealt amount of THC and

16:25 . You don't, there is no for THC and CBD preparation during the

16:34 subsidize pharmaceutical war. If you get chance, I urge you to watch

16:40 movie called the scientist, DR rafael scientists or was probably the only scientist

16:50 want and confiscated hashish from the police in as well. And she's was

16:58 confiscated by Israeli police and he wanted police and got himself the chunk and

17:03 it in his bag and rode the and everybody was wondering the bus with

17:07 smelling so much and he took it the lab and he isolated. Then

17:15 found THC and many scientists have tried on themselves. So he then credit

17:22 monkeys and in the lab and some got very active when you tried higher

17:30 and playful and you tried higher doses THC they seem to have gotten a

17:35 bit like sedated and may be So then he decided well let me

17:43 some home. So he took it and had his wife, bacon,

17:49 cake And he had eight guests over slices of chocolate cake. Each slice

17:56 chocolate cake has 10 mg of THC , mind you, this is

18:01 So they didn't know much about the dozing for humans. And the only

18:07 he had was from this monkey So he has eight guests over.

18:12 if you watch that movie, the , we have cake after dinner and

18:19 of the guests are laughing their butts . I don't exactly remember the

18:25 One of them is really kind of seemingly unchanged. The other one seems

18:30 be fidgeting and was very busy and of the persons other people are having

18:36 conversation and social and one person is a panic attack and so they calm

18:44 person down from the panic attack. to this day, we know even

18:51 on that very first anecdotal incidents with Meshulam and the chocolate cake. We

18:58 that different individuals will react differently to and phenomenal and has to do with

19:07 discussion we had at them of last . That was actually prompted by one

19:13 the questions. And that discussion was the endocannabinoid system tone and what is

19:20 endocannabinoid system tone is and how you measure it. And so there is

19:25 differences in the levels of the endocannabinoid of an avenue receptor expression, even

19:32 enzymes that synthesize or degrade. And there are enzymes, forests and the

19:39 that would be degrading THC also after consume it as it gets into the

19:45 . So all of these things depend an individual. Now for the most

19:50 we know that it may have negative in about 10% of individuals. Sometimes

19:56 negative effect. The first time use THC that is medicine, the recreation

20:02 called the first pass effect. Whenever passes into your body it passes through

20:08 body. First time you may have strong reaction. You know an equivalent

20:15 is um for many people it happens coffee with caffeine they haven't had in

20:23 law has a strong effect of nicotine smoking a cigarette after not smoking for

20:29 while. I used to smoke when was younger would make me really dizzy

20:33 almost nauseous. But then that was first pass. And then in the

20:37 and 3rd cigarette seemed to be like . So that's what we're talking about

20:42 you can watch more about the movie the further developments that were happening.

20:48 Raphael Meshulam was still alive and is active in Israel and the research community

20:55 very active and I've been connected, the pleasure of connecting with him and

21:01 with him in person as well. this is the endocannabinoid system. And

21:11 we already discussed that in the previous , this is just a reminder and

21:17 are some of the different functions that modulate and regulate paying stress immune

21:23 appetite member information, thermal regulation and the Canaveral and molecules such as anandamide

21:30 Finnish, economical on fuel such as THC are very similar and live where

21:36 can buy them. To see the . When you talk about cannabis

21:42 you have to realize that most of cannabis products and most of the medicines

21:47 general that you consume go through the ingestion and whenever it goes through an

21:53 in josh o it gets absorbed. if you're tuning the swallowing and in

22:01 if you're talking about cannabis, medical products that are available in the state

22:05 texas, it is only these oral products and these topical minimum products that

22:11 basically creams and south. So in best way to introduce exogenous cannabinoids into

22:22 system, into the brain or the is through inhalation vaporization, which is

22:28 lower temperature eating without burning plant matter a preferred way to smoking and the

22:35 of inhalation into the bloodstream through the and the deal I can be immediate

22:42 both the medicinal and adult use Now that is already in the

22:51 Now, if you're talking about oral that can take 1/2 an hour to

22:58 hour, sometimes even two hours because depends on each individual's metabolism, how

23:06 the metabolism is, how fast is digestive system acting? It depends on

23:12 prior history, what is in the justice system. So there's a delayed

23:19 of ingesting cannabinoids and cannabis. It's prolonged the fact with oral and Joshua

23:28 inhalation, that effect is typically half the time of the ingested effect,

23:33 is 68 hours. Also when it in, just that it goes through

23:39 secondary liver metabolism. Then you get and deliver of delta nine THC into

23:47 11 0. H. THC, also has both medicinal but also euphoric

23:54 as well. Another good product that think when I talked about about everything

24:01 this class about Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's medications think about what's needed, What may

24:07 to be developed in the future, is accessible to be developed because I

24:12 that my students like yourselves will be if not uh cannabinoid medication developments,

24:21 in Alzheimer's medication developments or other um could leave all these functions that you

24:27 find interesting. So suppository, for , is also another very good way

24:34 getting cannabinoids into the system into the . You can have either anal or

24:42 suppository and there's a lot of blood , there's a lot of sensitive nerve

24:50 . So there's a lot of absorption these areas and the active ingredients get

24:56 delivered into the bloodstream and you don't this secondary liver metabolism by that.

25:06 these are all of the different things consider. When you're talking about products

25:12 you're talking about pharmaceutical products, Sublingual, in fact these synthetic THC

25:22 are um not regarded very highly by . A lot of the patients prefer

25:29 switch to plan the right preparations go back a little bit two basics

25:34 understand what is legal. It is , for example, in this

25:40 low THC cannabis is also referred to hemp for industrial, it's typically Canada

25:49 , which is a subdivision of which is sativa, indica hybrids and

25:55 Morales with most of the Canada strengths help. And even in high THC

26:01 such as medical cannabis, recreational adult cannabis as a birth way. Most

26:06 them are hybrids and mixed sativa and . It's and Morales given together.

26:12 most of the hemp that you have in this country that is legal is

26:19 THC and the plant matter. These typically tall plants, but they can

26:24 be grown shorter depending on the purpose the tall plants. They can be

26:28 for their stock for the seeds and you're using it for the seeds and

26:33 using growing male plants And those seeds very nutritional and you can make oil

26:39 of these seeds that doesn't have much a cannabinoids and can be used as

26:44 great food source from the great source omega three omega six um fatty acids

26:52 the cut off or legal Federally So even in Texas, you can

26:57 $150 as a farmer and you can hemp seeds and grow hemp seeds as

27:02 as you're teach sea level that the sea level is going to be below

27:08 . However, in natural circumstances and to teach the percentage of the levels

27:16 other cannabinoids and other molecules in the very much dependent on the local fluctuations

27:23 the weather and local fluctuations in the of light, division, temperature and

27:30 in the soil. And sometimes these come plans. They peak Th C

27:36 was about 0.3%. And naturally these what we would consider industrial home

27:44 They can actually go up to almost to 1% of THC. And

27:51 level of THC is also the level THC that can be present and finished

27:57 from investment. Uh these levels like , It's legal in Italy and is

28:07 considered industrial health 1% THC is still an industrial hemp in Czech Republic,

28:14 still considered industrial sample 1%. In . So you have different international entities

28:22 governments setting this natural plant the limit THC what is allowed and what is

28:27 him, but it's not the United is 0.3% THC high THC cannabis is

28:35 grown for female plans that have these color was also reported as buds and

28:43 are for medical cannabis for recreational muslim or hybrids and THC levels.

28:50 these plants that you will typically goes anywhere between 5 to 25% THC

28:57 what it's called. High THC you , the highest THC levels are the

29:02 Level of cannabinoids that these plants can is about 36%. So that means

29:10 36% of genetic material and everything you in those big cola would be dolphin

29:16 THC so this is very very And in general it's a total amount

29:22 cannabinoid. It's not just THC that be peaking at about 36%. These

29:28 usually shorter plans traditionally because of the activity and illegal growth that was growing

29:35 . No, because of legal And so many states including medical Canada's

29:40 texas. There was a variety of , stocky short plants and that that

29:47 that long to find he would often this term synthetic or street cannabinoids and

29:55 marijuana or synthetic cannabis. Just think that there is synthetic anonymous. But

30:00 think if there is synthetic marijuana, synthetic cannabis. If you think this

30:09 isn't such a wrong term to use marijuana, it's like saying there's a

30:14 um orange, there is a synthetic , there is a synthetic rose,

30:24 an element from that melon, but not a synthetic melon. Have you

30:27 one? I have virtually only but doesn't exist When we talk about synthetic

30:36 that are listed. They're synthetic in . It's not cannabis. They're

30:43 They're fake. They're usually synthesized in lives in Eastern europe and asia and

30:51 horrible places to do that kind of . They're really potent powder like materials

30:57 are sprinkled on the plant like matter in different packages from the kush spies

31:04 sold their headshots and the regulators kind chase them fast enough because There's over

31:12 actually did research with one of the students published a really Interesting article just

31:19 popular literature, synthetic anomalies, over variants that were reported and that was

31:27 years ago. And so they get on some plant matter tobacco Matter packaged

31:34 shipped and sold them head shops and removed and then some other shipment comes

31:38 with some other molecule and turns out be the synthetic anatomy. So is

31:43 worse in Houston and Hermann Park, so far from where you are.

31:50 you're on campus or if you live campus There were over two dozen deaths

31:57 occurred because somebody was dealing synthetic anonymous cannabinoids are so dangerous that one use

32:13 psychosis and can cause even chronic psychiatric . One use and overdoses are quite

32:27 and intoxication are possible as well as that are not legal in our dragons

32:34 this is different parts of cannabis plants leaves and stems. You have

32:44 These flowers will have these uh huh . The balloons will contain these grandeur

32:53 combs that are semi translucent, that contain cannabinoids and also will contain terrapins

33:01 up to 60% cannabinoids in these strike and up to 8% of these Turpin's

33:07 are aromatic molecules and the molecules that we smell. Canada's you have

33:15 I have seen sprouts and all of different parts of the plan especially when

33:21 talk about hemp plants that are grown long stocks can be used for different

33:28 . Even the roots, the roots try turbine oil alkaloids and the roots

33:34 used by historically, by this an greek and ancient Greece to make concoctions

33:46 roots to treat information, cannabis it stems can be purposed into fiber

33:55 ropes. And if you wonder what the ropes made out of before?

34:02 were synthetic material before there was cotton example there was ham probes, probes

34:11 all the way to the middle of 20th century when there was no more

34:15 . Ah that's how plastics it can made from the plant from the seeds

34:23 oil. The central fatty acids 35 up the seed sprouts will have this

34:34 play them. And when we talked emergent were we born plants in this

34:44 the plants that we are allowing again as the hand plans to be federally

34:49 and drawn again you have to think all of these different aspects and

34:56 When people think about cannabis and they about Hampus THC CBD. I think

35:02 the harpers house socks, food and inflammatory properties of course, cannabinoids promoting

35:13 wellness, sleep scorpions, nice Okay, so there's very different applications

35:21 in emerging markets that form around plants are being reintroduced back into societies

35:29 It's different and marginal markets can these parts of the plant targeting different

35:37 different, completely different industries from nutraceutical . Two industrial engineering in the building

35:47 , which is really, really interesting it's a very durable building material

35:55 if you basically chop up ham stems mix them with lime and water,

36:02 becomes a fantastic building material. Work and installations. Okay, so we

36:13 into the tri cones. That's what tri cones look like. There's a

36:19 , they have a whole biochemical machinery the top of their heads that synthesized

36:26 . Roids. And the whole cellular supporting the head of the traffic cones

36:31 they come in different shapes and different . They're typically under 100 or 150

36:37 and life or so. And there a central droplet metabolite droplet that is

36:46 in the head of these tri cones that's what you have cannabinoid synthesis and

36:51 cannabinoid synthesis will synthesized cannabinoids. And also have disc cells here that will

37:00 producing Turpin producing cannabinoids intermediates and recently it's important because Turpin's besides being volatile

37:13 and smell the aroma giving molecules to plants also can be precursors to

37:19 And some of these serpents are also be magnetic. That means that they

37:24 activity of some kanab. So you the federalist structure here. You have

37:32 structure of the citation here for the the for the article, the major

37:41 . When we talk about cannabis are that's what everybody talks about. First

37:48 CBD now everybody talks about CBD uh Fox News I think talks about Pe

37:54 na. It's everywhere and C B or C B. G. And

38:00 general, where do these bananas come ? Well, first of all,

38:05 have to be synthesized by the plans we're talking about vital economic policies around

38:10 phenomenons synthesized by the plans. The B G A is the root or

38:18 mother of C B C B D N T H C A. And

38:25 are these CBD and THC a. plant cannabis plants has seven cases that

38:33 the Civic versions of delta nine, a. Tetra hydro phenomenology or C

38:42 G. A canopy Jiranek C B A C B D. A sentence

38:49 C B G A, which is core molecule, THC a sentence will

38:54 it into Hc A CBD a Alternative C B D. A.

38:57 is kind of a dialect cost. the plan actually doesn't even produce THC

39:05 doesn't synthesize to you. Only synthesizes Civic versions of THC CBD CBD the

39:18 versions which is THC or CBD and they become neutral versions through heating process

39:28 otherwise. The chemical decoder box elation . When the Citigroup is removed,

39:34 acid group is removed from THC A nine and it becomes delta nine

39:41 The same happens with C. G. A. From CVG through

39:45 letterbox elation, CBD A becomes CBD the car box elation as well.

39:51 this plant actually that is viewed And molecule cannabis plant is viewed as the

39:59 stringent federally controlled, planned and scheduled the same as heroin that plan.

40:07 it's schedule one. And the federal says that plant is because it contains

40:16 In reality that plan doesn't continue, THC you know if you heat plant

40:24 vaporizing it or smoking it or heating . Otherwise it will turn into

40:30 But the plant itself doesn't contain So it's on schedule one or some

40:36 reason because of the default box Now we talked about CB one receptor

40:43 what a fact CB one receptor has neuronal transmission. We talked about.

40:49 . Burgess and with dramaturgical neural transmission . And now we can understand that

40:54 example THC just like anandamide or to G. Um Other than economical it

41:02 be an agonist Two CB one That means that when it binds to

41:06 one receptor would activate the G protein . That would block the calcium

41:13 C. B. G. Which also found of plans will also bind

41:17 CB one receptors but it can activate one of the South course is an

41:23 with CB one or something. and Dampens CB one activity when it binds

41:29 CB one receptor, it is called Alistair IQ modulator. So it will

41:37 Dampen The Activity of CB one And so now you understand that the

41:43 , Canada's plant will contain a variety these phenomenal is and this is just

41:47 of them that are major ones that discussing. In reality. There's over

41:52 different phyto cannabinoids from Canada's plant. are the major phyto cannabinoids. There's

41:59 lot of minor phyto cannabinoids that are that come in small quantities and hard

42:04 find. But they do exist And you can see that these three major

42:10 Canavan on THC CBD and CBD are different relationship, not different completely but

42:18 relationships And regulating or modulating CB one . If you look at the final

42:27 in excess of 115 I think maybe over 120 turbines, I think it's

42:33 over 140 turbines that are found in . If you look at the literature

42:39 I'm not talking about the conditions and FDA has THC approved for. But

42:45 you look in the literature, do see causes the high effect on psychotropic

42:51 is known but it is also anti . And you're a protective. In

42:55 if you search us government patent on neural protection, you will get the

43:02 . S. Government patented patented for inflammatory and Europa tec tive purposes.

43:07 analgesic, it helps from pain. know that we saw that the FDA

43:11 appetite stimulant of course anti climatic prevents anticancer. Does that mean it is

43:21 cancer litigation? No, but there significant evidence showing that it can stop

43:29 of cancer cells. A lot of has been done in vitro and a

43:33 of it has been done with synthetic that you can use in the lab

43:38 THC but robert plant derived molecules. I think that evidence is mounting as

43:44 . There are negative side effects of can cause anxiety and panic attacks.

43:49 can increase and raise the heart. hard trade has low rate of

43:55 So we talk about cannabis addiction or . It's not only just THC because

44:06 example, I'll give you an example what you crave for when you go

44:12 take a shower and you have your shampoo or body wash or body lotion

44:20 you put after the shower. Why crave it. You crave the

44:24 You don't necessarily crave. Oh, going to have such moisturizing a fight

44:29 you crave the smile. So you dependent on having a good experience partly

44:39 you have a small presentation that's very sensory sensation. So this dependency is

44:46 not linked to CBD. CBD. can actually be anti addiction. CBD

44:53 been shown in studies to reduce addiction to opioids. So but there's low

45:01 one in 11 people that have cannabis disorder that typically functional members of the

45:09 but they overuse cannabis priorities cannabis and functionality and that dependency as I said

45:22 low rate and even lower number of would have hyperemesis syndrome which is this

45:30 indigestion and very strong abdominal pains typically the morning that are linked to high

45:36 of THC US and potentially some genetic uh alterations or that a person may

45:45 predispositions. CBD has been shown to non non psychotropic, meaning it doesn't

45:52 a high effect and reduces not gonna with THC it's actually antisocial coding and

45:59 neural protective and by cancer is not diabetic contradiction and geopolitical combust into american

46:05 cheesy. Does that mean that CBD FDA approved for these conditions now.

46:11 there is ample evidence if you look search for both animal and human studies

46:18 of them are placebo double, why controlled others are survey studies, others

46:23 randomized studies of small cohorts of patients will find the effects of CBD.

46:30 these conditions it has mild side effects just fatigue drowsiness and high levels of

46:36 . And some people can call in and causing digestion high levels of cannabinoids

46:42 CBD and CBD and other cannabinoids also have a drug and drug interaction that

46:49 person is taking another drug for treating condition. C B. G.

46:54 know that C B G is a one antagonist. It's a partial agonist

46:59 CB two but it also binds to other receptors serotonin and trp and transient

47:06 potential receptors. It can increase under . Okay, it also interacts with

47:15 are gamma and healthy to enter energetic experientially. There isn't enough evidence of

47:21 B. G. There's I believe one clinical trial experimentally. Cdbg seems

47:26 be beneficial and used for anxiety treating and sleep negative effects of THC as

47:36 . We call the THC CBD and may act via the same or different

47:42 . This is this is the CBD to serotonin receptors. Yes.

47:47 Actually CBD prefers to mind to serotonin over the canal. Did she also

47:54 the trip receptors. So these five molecules, when we're talking about the

48:01 system where being kind of the CB centric but this shows you that this

48:06 will also be other the neurochemical and receptor systems in the brain and the

48:15 you call that this is all that approved by FDA that if THC replying

48:22 DVD in this country talked about that substantial evidence of cannabis and cannabinoids have

48:29 this the last time and effective for , nausea, vomiting, Multiple multiple

48:36 , spasticity. There is moderate evidence this is from 2000 17. And

48:40 can read about limited evidence that exists cannabinoids for different conditions like glaucoma for

48:48 . But it's a little bit, never does. And maybe some of

48:52 studies that were done improving inter ocular is maybe not the only thing that

48:57 should be looking in glaucoma. Uh we may be looking at the reduction

49:02 information. And that's something that the is agreeing to start using phenomenal is

49:07 for ocular inflammatory symptoms. Now when talk about what is legal, what

49:15 made in the plan of what is by humans? I already showed you

49:20 there is C. B. A. Sent a S. And

49:24 CBD a synthesis or CBD that's produced the form. I showed you that

49:30 is delta nine THC a synthesis and nine is produced by the plan by

49:41 . And I also am showing this to which is delta eight THC.

49:50 in this ring here, at the left you have the number of carbons

49:58 nine term. So delta nine THC have a double bond between the line

50:05 10 Delta 80 C. Will have bond moved over between eight and

50:13 The plan's the only thing you always to balance. I have to ask

50:20 you're talking about an avenue is the or in fact if you're talking about

50:26 and carrots, is is there synthesis molecules And if the answer is

50:33 that means it doesn't come directly from plant. It takes another process than

50:40 simple decoder box elation and such is case with delta eight THC, which

50:46 medium binding properties to see the one can cause half of the euphoria high

50:52 . And there's no known medicinal properties doubt the THC. I can tell

50:59 if you want to learn more. give you a link to read one

51:03 my articles about delta eight THC that all of the references. But there's

51:07 lot of additional evidence for CBD. lot of additional evidence for delta

51:12 But there isn't Many for Delta eight Delta eight comes from CBD. So

51:19 you have the CBD molecule to the box elation, you actually have to

51:24 a chemical manipulation of CBD so that get this DELTA A. You get

51:32 bond and the desired location on this . And it's not a very necessarily

51:39 procedure. It's another chemical procedure. there's a lot of unknowns with delta

51:44 THC but you will see it advertised heavily and the current state is not

51:51 controlled by the texas regulators. That's is being advertised with a lot of

51:56 shops and shops and such, you , just cautionary. No, I

52:01 know much doesn't come from the That means that different labs will use

52:07 methods, temperatures solvents and such to to where they need to get This

52:15 in respect of the binding properties to one receptor. I hope you appreciate

52:20 creativity. This is actually somebody asked about my company. This is one

52:25 the adventures and involved in Canada's Bluebonnet wellness and you can see the

52:33 flower here on top of the bonnet um Canada's leads here at the bottom

52:42 any case, Canada squad as I , will produce a whole bunch of

52:47 Canavan ours and Turpin's THC CBD CBD bc Canada Korovin, C B M

52:56 D D V. Canada environment. like I said over 120 or so

53:02 cannabinoids that are produced in different varieties would be called different strains of cannabis

53:11 . Turpin's is what Canada's prime But Turpin's can be found in

53:18 the Lyman E will be found in and orange and mandarin and Canada's

53:24 And those tri cones will produce a of Lyman is one of the most

53:28 . Turkey's can have 1 to 2% Lyman in and the total mass of

53:33 tri cone which is really significant. cannabis will smell like commons. Carrier

53:39 in the baby carrier film was most european that is expressed and hound and

53:47 cannabis molecules and in fact when dogs used to drug dogs used to sniff

53:53 cannabis. They were trained to sniff carrier film just carry a film.

53:57 more volatile. It's too big because present in cannabis plant but it will

54:02 be present. And cloves and Um Black peppers and then particularly this

54:10 pepper from West africa that has very levels of mercury offline Very very often

54:16 out to be a selected CB two agonist. Whoa. It's a

54:21 dramatic periodical and this Canada pneumatic molecule pneumatic appropriate that acts sort of like

54:28 and interacts with CB2 receptors. Another common topi ating is lying a little

54:37 Lionel would be found alive under. if the same try cones that we

54:42 about instead of expressing Lyman. Mean would be expressing line a little turkey

54:47 the cannabis plants would smell like There's many different smells and some Canada's

54:53 smell like gas that have very earthy gassy smells. And that's because different

55:00 of cannabis plants depending on the depending on the growing conditions, the

55:08 time, the curing preparation of the product from the plant matter, whether

55:15 oil or gummy or something else. plays into the final composition, what

55:24 call them matrix but the active elements ingredients that these products will contain.

55:31 it may be biased towards each seat be biased towards CBD may be biased

55:36 lima beans. But in reality any of the botanical preparations will gain dozens

55:43 active ingredients and dozens of active ingredients even more. But at least dozens

55:49 active ingredients that have known biological properties have known physiological effects on our

55:58 And why the little, for example very known common properties of lavender.

56:05 hmm. So why my name Lionel lavenders, anxiety, litigant and

56:15 And the combustion analgesic alpha pioneer acts as some falco monasteries inhibitor. If

56:23 recall as of alcohol investors breaks down single colon molecules in the synapses and

56:30 a table column mysteries, inhibitors, will actually learn about it more when

56:35 are studying Alzheimer's disease for those that taken by force. But the most

56:41 Alzheimer's medications are actually alcohol industries So alpha pining which is found in

56:49 lot of the difference plans and and some in some cultures in japan for

56:58 , there is what is called forest and that is walking through the forest

57:05 has a lot of these pipeline like because there will be smelling very strong

57:13 it has very strong relaxing properties. at the same time with access that's

57:18 topical administration inhibitor, it is It could reach its systemic Marceline Marceline

57:28 farm and mangoes very common from It's also firemen and cops.

57:36 and when you talk about hops, interesting is hops is the closest plants

57:44 Canada. Mhm. A they're the related plants hops and cannabis, the

57:53 are of course used to make a of things. But a lot of

57:58 that we like that comes from the is called beer and hops you know

58:05 like an avenue noise can have you for example if you are showing me

58:13 but if you go and if you drinking beer next time maybe you should

58:18 attention to with hops we used and will see things like I'll tell you

58:25 hops, what is Citra hops gonna you think about? Probably citrus but

58:30 what? Citra hops are likely to aromatic Turpin's that are resemblance of the

58:39 that you will find in citrus such why money deal. So they have

58:46 own biological they also have their own properties. That's why you need

58:54 L. C. You need to your botanical preparations, analyze them the

58:59 output of active ingredients, the ratios concentrations. And that will lead us

59:04 more sophisticated formulations that we could then into pharmaceutical drugs as well. But

59:12 now we have a variety of different Canada's and when I say legal

59:19 legal cannabis THC systems. Most of countries in the world except for Russia

59:26 Russia will probably never legalize even In fact one of their pieces of

59:33 is that Ukrainians dressed some of the on earth. Um They don't like

59:41 but let me not get off the here and get very very angry.

59:46 will turn very very red and probably if I stay on this topic any

59:53 with concerns the dictators and tyrants that unfortunately murder and gas Children. So

60:04 talk about what actually could help the soldiers and what could help the Ukrainian

60:12 to recover. One of those things would argue would be phenomenal in particular

60:18 from THC. And globally you have legal cannabis systems. So you have

60:24 pharmaceutical system which is the National So some of the drugs like Marinol

60:30 the United States, the Activex has is CBD THC plant derived has approved

60:35 the U. K. But it's approved in the United States. And

60:37 you have some drugs like At the which is 20% CBD approved in the

60:43 and approved in the United States and in different schedules in these countries.

60:48 are health insurance subsidized medical cannabis They also have national and also you

60:55 say international because there's shipments that are of Canada's between different countries such as

61:01 Colombia and Germany and Portugal and Germany South Africa and other places and

61:09 So these are international nationals. National medical cannabis programs example is Germany

61:16 Canada's flowers sold in pharmacies and his insurance subsidies in the United States and

61:22 have states regulated cannabis programs in some they have both medical cannabis programs and

61:31 or adult use medical cannabis or adult cannabis programs that are not medical.

61:37 an example is the state of massachusetts has both a very robust medical cannabis

61:44 and recreationally program. In this the patients that are registered medical cannabis

61:52 , They get tax exemptions, but health insurance does not cover any of

61:58 state regulated cannabis products, so far there's a 20% tax exemption in states

62:05 Massachusetts, that means that they don't 20% tax that recreationally user in massachusetts

62:12 the state has both programs would pay recreational adult use programs. Our neighboring

62:20 of colorado, our neighboring state of has a very robust medical program.

62:28 Mexico is moving into recreational programs. Oklahoma Louisiana has a pretty robust medical

62:37 . But you have developed these programs by state, California is probably the

62:42 state in the economy and the fifth economy in the world that has legalized

62:49 use. Canada's has full taxation and specific. When you talk about Canada's

62:55 specific. So in one problems like on the uh, from the east

63:02 Canada, the dispensaries or the medical recreational Canada stores are going to be

63:09 by governments and monopolized by governments and you go to the west coast to

63:17 , Vancouver on the west coast of Columbia and you have dispensaries instead of

63:24 government run stores and you have consumption , all sorts of different programs and

63:31 problems that's in this case in Canada the United States is texas right now

63:37 have low THC and CBD. So have legal home program, we have

63:42 home products and then we have this THC medical cannabis products. Most of

63:49 things that we have in texas are products from extinctions. Large adjustment

63:55 ice cream, etcetera can also be ingestible difficulty of those is about 20

64:02 . Um for some people it's five , some people, that's why it

64:08 up to 20 mg. So when Nahshon gave all of his friends 10

64:15 and a piece of cake that was right, hundreds of milligrams of product

64:20 it can be used in extreme cases there is a severe condition or if

64:25 isn't enough stimulation of the cannabinoid system it may be. When you talk

64:30 ratios, we typically talk about ratios dominant cannabinoids and profits such as THC

64:37 CBD 1 to 1 versus 4 to 40 mg 10 mg of CBD per

64:44 . That's what we talked about. are the products all of the injection

64:48 that are available in texas. When talk about texas and in general texas

64:57 and in general any market cannabis products now have no standard. So you

65:06 potentially walk in to get some hemp from one store And you asked one

65:13 About CBD or CBD. And you one answer and then you'll ask them

65:17 the question. And the person will , I don't know. Uh and

65:22 they will recommend this, my grandmother this adults her and you're also about

65:27 see, well, you know, told me that the strain that's called

65:30 Dream is going to make your you want to try, it

65:34 you know, so it's all and . But I have a standard,

65:38 fact most of the products, we even have the proper active ingredients

65:43 they wouldn't even track these major Turpin's many instances that I just showed you

65:49 the reputed and biological effects, but interact with kannapolis and the interactions with

65:55 kannapolis and turbines is referred to as end entourage of facts, the entourage

66:02 the matrix of molecules and some of molecules will form an entire garage that

66:09 exemplify or exaggerate one effect or an theorized that will be competing sets of

66:17 and therefore not achieving the same therapeutic . Uh, when you talk about

66:23 cannabis and what can be done in journal in Canada spark is you have

66:27 realize that there's a lot of businesses texas, there's texas, compassionate use

66:34 , there's two licenses, there's a that pops up here in Houston but

66:39 focused in the boston area, There's 20,000 registered patients in Texas With 3-5

66:46 , there's going to be about 800,000 a million registered medical cannabis patients in

66:52 . And so this is going to . But often get a question from

66:57 . Well, you know, I skills and I thi I have skills

67:02 programming. I work with scr stuff that's a Canada's industry now is a

67:10 , multi, multi billion dollar In fact right now, there are

67:15 , this company here called Duchy Within year duchy from zero became an evaluation

67:23 was the $4 billion valuation. And do these companies do that actually create

67:31 that solve the product and deliver the that identify the products. And that's

67:36 of the things that I'm working on actually how can we have the market

67:43 all of these products based on the ingredients is their system that would allow

67:49 to simply identify them probably based on active ingredients. You know why?

67:54 typically you don't really care much about when you shop for something specific.

67:59 always use beer as an example. love beer. But the reason why

68:03 love uh reasons many reasons why I beer. But the reason why use

68:08 for example is because if you walk to the isle that has microbrewery

68:13 it's the same thing. I don't . You just choose things by the

68:17 . If you know, pilsener versus versus queen ale vs. India pale

68:28 , That's good. Most of the don't, most of the people know

68:32 name the brand and that's all. you get bored with it and then

68:38 try something. Oh that didn't taste because you don't know what is in

68:41 ? You don't see any identifiable, you any active ingredient and you

68:46 beer, you can think it's a version when people consume cannabis, they

68:51 THC the consumer adam also can get pretty high. They don't see what's

68:59 the products and they don't have an way to another practice in the

69:03 So often people go on one trip colorado, they say kind of that

69:07 awesome. You know, I tried product and it relaxed me and I

69:12 asleep, I laughed and I then go back and they don't know how

69:16 find the same product because they cannot the same brand of Miller lite that

69:21 stolen every gas station so they can the same product. So was this

69:28 brand? I think there was. if the consumer just had an easy

69:32 to see some color, some picture strengthen the product, that's all they

69:36 to know. And right now, of the cannabis products are all kind

69:41 grouped together, there's no categorization and no standardization so that there is an

69:47 standard group that's working, we'll give another example. Again, they use

69:53 because alcohol has psychotropic or intoxicating Just like THC does imagine if you

70:00 in a total wine, which is big or specs or even in the

70:07 store and all of the Deers, of the wines, all of the

70:12 were mixed together. And what if saw brands that made liquor, beer

70:21 wine, have you seen corona Have you seen corona vodka And in

70:28 industry that exists you will see a that makes 15 different products from powders

70:34 drinkable als to smoke herbals to something to creams. And this is really

70:41 for the consumer and that's why I to educate you guys because I feel

70:45 you're not only going to learn but can be smarter with this, not

70:50 about Canada's but about anything beer. example when you next time choose,

70:57 you know it's Citra hops that I because it has that lemony taste I

71:02 knew and now you're gonna say I'm look for cetera hop but you're gonna

71:07 back to that beer. I always where can I find Citra hops?

71:10 no way that this beer is organized and flavors of strength and so maybe

71:16 coming in the future too. But think there's a lot more sensitive because

71:21 is still illegal in many places, still very highly regulated where it is

71:27 and it is still has very high causing effect of properties. So

71:33 really need to be more cautious and more attention to what is in the

71:37 ingredients. So in texas, welcome taxes, welcome to texas. Here

71:44 are now in texas and guess who in charge of the THC limit and

71:53 is administering the medical cannabis program that not. Which is known as texas

72:00 abuse program. You guessed the tribe and Human Services, no Department of

72:11 Safety GPS, the Department of Public . You get you see state

72:21 So it's DPS that has been charged regulating the program. There are two

72:26 that allow for two companies right now grow th c up to 1%.

72:33 the products reality, it's the limit 1% which is 10 mg of THC

72:40 and hemp Farm bill which is concerns of hamp allows three mg of THC

72:46 because it's 0.3%. And that's why texas program was referred to as Low

72:52 program. And most of the other that you saw on the map

72:57 these programs that are dolphin Medical used programs in dark green or comprehensive medical

73:04 programs in light green and sharp, green. Those have very robust medical

73:12 programs that have a lot of licenses a lot of products that are available

73:17 they do not limit THC to There's no limit on THC, there's

73:24 limit on the doses per serving in but there's no limit on THC and

73:31 special inhalable products or flour products if may, the second component that's very

73:38 component. But again, it should very interesting for you because I've talked

73:42 it last time and said it is demonization of cannabis that I just showed

73:49 with this reform madness. And how not only americans but cultures around the

73:54 still think about cannabis is gateway drugs prophecies. Crazy drugs dangerous. You

74:00 the benefits outweigh the hearts. We determined that all of these texas This

74:07 state Oklahoma is the most conservative I think one in 20 individuals in

74:12 is THC high THC cannabis. So not about being liberal being concerned.

74:21 nothing to do about partisanship of Is it is it medicinal? Is

74:29 dangerous or not? Answer is it medicinal? We need to know a

74:33 more about it. There was a systematic as it was prohibition on

74:38 There's a systematic suppression on the research could be done in Canada's plant,

74:43 only changed last year until last There was only one facility in Old

74:53 that allowed to grow candidates and that flower was really poor quality was

75:00 did not have a variety of strains are available for the patients around different

75:05 and it will solve the National Institute Drug abuse neither for research purposes.

75:11 , curiously enough, it was sent pre rolled joints to several patients that

75:17 access to to free medical Canada's because want hustles against Carolina. It's really

75:26 things that, that, that you when you do a lot more research

75:30 these things. So, but what really interesting is that there was a

75:35 of the research and actual Canada's So you can go ahead and order

75:38 synthetic THC $60 a monogram and do in the dish. Whole animal

75:47 That's really difficult. But it's still planned research. And well, you

75:51 to wait to get some molded powder Mississippi for about a year of junk

75:58 and being under a microscope. And gonna think that you're going to intoxicate

76:03 in the university or the hospital. you're near like a criminal, this

76:10 all existed until last year. You believe you did research on Canada's

76:14 Note that medical marijuana, medical there's existence in the state of California

76:26 never dying. Piece. That's 25 years ago. It was legal.

76:37 means the patients were buying it. using. But you could not do

76:44 jobs. And until last year, still cannot do research from the dispensaries

76:49 the weed marijuana, cannabis, whatever you wanna call it wherever you

76:55 it in any dispensaries in massachusetts. cannot take it to the hospital,

76:59 cannot take it to the university and research. As of last year,

77:04 federal government allowed 11 more grows in to go through this national program with

77:10 National Institute of drug abuse. But going to be better because now there's

77:16 to be competition. So molded powder not going to pass, there's going

77:20 be more varieties and people that are into this or not lose government

77:25 but also in university entities, but entities, which means they will really

77:30 the ways to commercialize these elements and formulations that they will produce from their

77:35 growth that are federally approved and those separate from the state regulated growth.

77:40 this year, state of Texas and fact, last year 2021 released the

77:45 in texas that talks about institutional review and research of cannabis with medical schools

77:51 hospitals from the dispensaries. And this is in conflict with federal rules.

77:57 the state hasn't even released. So you have, about a year later

78:01 have a rule how you can do on cannabis from the dispensers and you

78:06 cannot do research Cannabis from dispensaries. probably won't be able to do it

78:11 year. You probably won't be able do it until it's federally completely

78:15 which means that the federal government Okay, it's not just these 11
