Cannabidiol

However Right down the road at the Food and Drug Administration, they've approved four drugs from the cannabis plant.

Epidiolex, approved two thousand eighteen.

Purified cannabidiol extracted from the plant for seizures, Lennox-Gastaut, Dravet syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis.

Approved for patients one year of age and older.

yeah, it was to help people get off nicotine, but I wanted to do a low-dose, healthy pouch with synthetic nicotine.

But that wasn't possible, so we stuck with what we started, and that's CBD pouches.

Was it the

licensing and everything? Yeah.

And hopefully the, the, the picture of that leaf itself will stir, you know, the fright and, um, and, uh, um, speculation that people have against marijuana, you know, just so while we still have this propaganda and stigma, let's push some of these things through and, And that's what oil and gas is doing.

The reason being, the cannabis plant itself is both marijuana and CBD.

Oh, you want to hear something else that's crazy? CBD.

CBD.

CBD that a grandma puts on her arthritic hands and she can open her hands.

No side effects.

You cannot overdose on it.

It's one of the most perfect medicines available to humanity as a molecule.

And I realized yesterday we were in the studio for a long time, and I got up and my knees were screaming at me like I had just caught nine innings of a doubleheader.

And I was just, where's CBD? Where's the CBD drops that Sealy makes for us all at the Mesa Verde? hemp farm down in the Four Corners area and met him because of this program.

It's great stuff.

My wife had back problems because of taking care of her 100-year-old mother for a while, including a fall, and it's helped for that as well.

I'm not really taking Tylenol.

I'd rather just take a CBD gummy, um, CBD/THC mix because it helps with the inflammation and the swelling.

Um, so that was great.

When he does call me doctor, I think it's great 'cause I am a doctor and I'm a researcher.

I thought it was just recreational until it changed my life and I could walk, and I wasn't crawling to the bathroom or my wrist weren't falling off or-

Yeah

... like, I'm rubbing my grandma feet with CBD oil and putting her compression socks so she could walk.

Or she asking for her little drink, and she like, "Oh, bring me..." She'll never consume, but she would like her little lemonade when I bring her a little...

You know, there's things about this plant.

When I started in this space, I worked on the CBD side.

So I actually worked directly with medical schools.

So like, that was my background.

That's our first and foremost, you know, mission of ours.

And we live it every day.

So when I was, you know, when I first started in the space, I launched a CBD beverage line back when I was living in California.

And we also had a clinical grade CBD product line as well.

Right.

And I discovered, you know, I had seen hemp in 2018 CBD came out and then they started the synthetic and artificial CBD and the Delta eight and the Delta 10 and all the synthetics.

And I was just never, I mean, the essence of flow kind of was organic, sustainable, regenerative.

Like that was the opposite of what I wanted.

Hemp can be blended with other botanicals.

And I always thought of cannabis, especially in that image that I thought from the farmers that 2014 summer, where cannabis was just another agricultural product on the farm next to all these companion plants and next to all these fruits and vegetables and herbs.

And there's some amazing like medicine women and older women up in those hills that have tinkered with cannabis and CBD and oils for so long.

And I was like, what if I could start doing products with all these stuff, right? And my old COO in Flo Cana happened to work previously in Traditional Medicinals, which is the leading herbal company in the US.

I took supplements.

I tried CBD oils.

I tried other kinds of tinctures that people gave me and nothing worked.

In fact, after I really started trying these different things, my fear grew.
