Personalized Cannabis Testing....follow your DNA to CBD and Cannabis Compatibility

This is something new that just came across my radar…DNA testing to see your own unique and personal response to CBD, THC and terpenes and potential side effects.  An in-depth scientific report shows how your unique genetic makeup may best respond to cannabis strains and formulations. Results include product recommendations, suggested dosage guides and methods of administration.  For patients and physicians.

Have you already done a 23 & Me, Ancestry or Family Tree DNA test? If so, you can upload your test and the cost is much cheaper. If you haven’t already done DNA testing then this company sends you a kit for you to take your own swab, register the kit online, send in the kit and they will take it from there.

Cannabis medicine can be tricky sometimes, finding the right mode of delivery, compatible strains for your own health situation and dosing, especially if you have many health issues going on at the same time

This might provide more insight. This is a new realm of testing and I would imagine as time goes on it will be more comprehensive.

CBD illegal before it ws discovered???

This short article came from a larger article on ProjectCBD.org by Martin Lee, June 11, 2019

CBD became illegal before it was discovered.

Cannabis was effectively outlawed by the federal government in 1937 with the passage and implementation of the Marihuana Tax Act. The Act explicitly stated that cannabis resin or any extract from the resin was considered to be “marihuana” (i.e. the Evil Weed). Cannabidiol (CBD) is found in the resin, nowhere else in the plant. (Tetrahydrocannabinol – THC, aka The High Causer – is also concentrated in the resin along with a slew of other therapeutic compounds.) In effect, CBD, a nonintoxicating cannabis component, was prohibited by federal law before anyone actually knew that CBD existed.

It wasn’t until 1940 that Roger Adams, a University of Illinois chemist, first identified and synthesized CBD. Two years later, he was awarded a patent for his unique method of isolating CBD. Adams observed that CBD had pain-killing properties and he contributed to the 1944 La Guardia Report on the Marihuana Problem, which debunked many of the scaremongering reefer madness claims promoted by the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. By the time Adams retired in 1957, he had published 27 studies on CBD and other plant cannabinoids. He was subsequently honored by the American Chemical Society, which established the prestigious Roger Adams Award in recognition of his life’s work. Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam picked up where Adams left off and elucidated the precise molecular structure of CBD in 1963. And he did the same for THC in 1964.
