August 26, 2020 In today’s top cannabis stories, good news! Youth cannabis use has not increased during the expansion of cannabis legalization, Mitch McConnell says hemp masks are great but banking is iffy apparently, and before you crack open your next CBD drink...do you know what’s really in it?  The Morning Buzz presented by TRICHOMES brings you late-breaking news that tells you what's happening within the cannabis industry. TRICHOMES.com First up today, A new Report from the Federal Government says Youth Cannabis Use is Stable Amid Legalization’s Expansion According to Marijuana Moment, lifetime cannabis consumption among high school students has declined during the peak years of state-legal recreational cannabis legalization, a new report from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows. The biennial Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), released on Friday, examined lifetime use among youth as well as the separate measure of current (or past 30-day) cannabis consumption. It found that lifetime cannabis consumption “increased during 2009–2013 and then decreased during 2013–2019.” Given that several large states legalized cannabis for adult use during that latter time period, with the first legal adult-use sales launching in 2014, the data appears to support arguments from advocates that creating a regulated market will not lead to increased youth use as prohibitionists have repeatedly warned. There was “no change” in the rate of current cannabis use among high school students from 2009-2019, the survey found. When analyzed using a quadratic change model, however, lifetime cannabis consumption decreased during that period. “We are reassured by the latest results from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey because they show that youth marijuana use has not increased over the past decade, even as more states across the country have passed progressive marijuana laws,” said Sheila Vakharia, deputy director of the department of research and academic engagement for the Drug Policy Alliance, in a press release. She went on to say “these results affirm that we must continue to promote marijuana legalization and regulation for its public health and community safety benefits, especially in regard to limiting youth access.” ** Next, Mitch McConnell Recommends Hemp Face Masks to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is urging Americans to wear face masks to prevent the spread of coronavirus—and he suggests those coverings to be made of hemp. During an event at the Kentucky-based hemp company Ecofibre on Monday, McConnell talked about the challenges the burgeoning market for the newly legal crop has faced, especially amid the pandemic, but he said it represents a viable commodity that is bolstering the economy. Ecofibre, which is producing hemp face masks, is an example of how businesses are innovating since the crop’s federal legalization under the 2018 Farm Bill, the majority leader said. “We’re gonna need a massive number of doses [of a vaccine for COVID-19]—not just for our country but for the entire world. The coronavirus is not gone. And in the meantime, I recommend a hemp mask as one of the best,” he said, adding that the company “adapted to the pandemic situation and produced products that were helpful.” Hemp “had a great history in Kentucky,” the majority leader, who also promoted a hemp-made pen last year, said. He added that the industry is “meeting a number of different startup challenges.” Meanwhile, the standalone Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act has continued to sit in the Senate Banking Committee without action in the months since the House initially approved it. Last month, a bipartisan coalition of state treasurers sent a letter to congressional leaders, asking that they include cannabis banking protections in the next piece of coronavirus relief legislation. Several of the group’s Democratic state treasurers renewed that call last week in the face of attacks on the issue from McConnell, Vice President Mike Pence and other Republicans. ** And we will end the day with another report...an astonishing 54% of CBD Beverages Contain Less CBD Than Advertised According to Green Market Report, CBD marketplace and brand reviewer Leafreport conducted independent lab testing on 22 CBD beverage brands to determine just how much CBD is actually in these products. Their findings were shocking, and showed many of these brands to be entirely misrepresenting their true CBD content, whether intentional or not. Some brands contain far less CBD than advertised, while some actually contain more CBD. The company ordered 22 COAs from these companies in order to accurately compare their findings. #cbd sleep gummies canada #blush cbd gummies #nu natural cbd gummies
