Fact Checking CNN’s Claim That Some Cannabis Products Now Have 90% THC Levels
Sniping CNN’s Reefer Madness Article
One would think that in 2023, Reefer Madness articles would be essentially non-existent. However, here we are with CNN publishing some unscientific anti-reefer nonsense, most probably sponsored by their sugar daddies – Pfizer.
Nonetheless, it’s my duty as a cannabis activist to dismember the propaganda and show people just how insidious these media companies are. Even though no one really takes CNN seriously anymore.
Throughout this article, I’ll be breaking down specific parts of the original CNN article which can be found HERE in its entirety.
CNN:
Marijuana and other products containing THC, the plant’s main psychoactive ingredient, have grown more potent and more dangerous as legalization has made them more widely available. Although decades ago the THC content of weed was commonly less than 1.5%, some products on the market today are more than 90% THC.
The buzz of yesteryear has given way to something more alarming. Marijuana-related medical emergencies have landed hundreds of thousands of people in the hospital and millions are dealing with psychological disorders linked to cannabis use, according to federal research.
But regulators have failed to keep up.
Reginald:
Firstly, while there are some truths mixed within this opening statement, there are also plenty of falsehoods scattered about. For example, the statement that “Although decades ago the THC content of weed was commonly less than 1.5%, some products on the market today are more than 90% THC.”
This is inherently false. Most people did not smoke weed with 1.5% THC or less decades ago. There have always been the knowledge that “some cannabis strains are more potent”, and people knew this in the 1950s and 1960s. Cannabis has been around for thousands of years, and people have used it for its psychoactive properties.
In fact, the use and manipulation of the plant into its many forms have been intertwined with the fabric of our global society. Every culture at some point in time utilized cannabis as a medicine and for industrial purposes.
Therefore, the assumption that during the early 1900s up to the 1960s, there was no understanding of potency, selective breeding, etc – is ludicrous.
While it’s true that most weed available to the markets were either “ditch weed” which was low potency, or cannabis shipped from Mexico. Mexican weed does have a lower than average percentage of THC, however, you’d still see on average potency between 4.5% – 9%.
CNN:
Pot has changed profoundly since generations of Americans were first exposed to it.
Cannabis has been cultivated to deliver much higher doses of THC. In 1980, the THC content of confiscated marijuana was less than 1.5%. Today many varieties of cannabis flower — plant matter that can be smoked in a joint — are listed as more than 30% THC.
At one California dispensary, the menu recently included a strain posted as 41% THC.
Legalization has also helped open the door to products that are extracted from marijuana but look nothing like it: oily, waxy, or crystalline THC concentrates that are heated and inhaled through vaping or dabbing, which can involve a bong-like device and a blowtorch.
Today’s concentrates can be more than 90% THC. Some are billed as almost pure THC.
Reginald:
While it’s technically true that there was low THC in the 1980s – the confiscated cannabis were often left in dismal conditions. Testing wasn’t done immediately. THC degradation happens immediately and don’t be fooled – they did NOT test for THC as stringently as they claimed.
During the 1980s, THC was not their main concern. Look at the D.A.R.E PSAs and you’ll see that they didn’t talk about THC. They talked about “marijuana” or “pot” in general terms because the average consumer wasn’t too savvy about the lingo.
Of course, there was certainly a culture of breeders that were creating more potent strains via selective breeding – the fact of the matter was that law enforcement data integrity on the subject matter is very shotty to say the least.
Additionally, recent research has pointed out that a vast majority of advertised or listed cannabis potency is oftentimes over exaggerated. Realistically, most potent strains sold in dispensaries sit between about 15%-20% .
Furthermore, cannabis consumers tend to regulate their consumption. If they buy high potency cannabis, they tend to consume less of the substance. Therefore, even the mention of potency is irrelevant for the majority of consumers. However, the mainstream wouldn’t say this.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t “problematic” consumers, but it does mean that CNN is wilfully using alarmist rhetoric to hype up the “challenges” of the industry.
CNN:
Higher concentrations pose greater hazards, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “The risks of physical dependence and addiction increase with exposure to high concentrations of THC, and higher doses of THC are more likely to produce anxiety, agitation, paranoia, and psychosis,” its website said.
In 2021, 16.3 million people in the United States — 5.8% of people 12 or older — had experienced a marijuana use disorder within the past year, according to a survey published in January by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.
That was far more than the combined total found to have substance use disorders involving cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription stimulants such as Adderall, or prescription pain relievers such as fentanyl and OxyContin.
Other drugs are more dangerous than marijuana, and most of the people with a marijuana use disorder had a mild case. But about 1 in 7 — more than 2.6 million people — had a severe case, the federal survey found.
Reginald:
Firstly, cannabis has always been consumed more than the other drugs combined. Secondly, the vast majority of the “16.3 million people” were “older” than the age of 18. In fact, if you take a look at the statistics, you’ll notice that there have been a decline in use within younger generations.
While college use has risen, 18 & under has seen a slight decline.
Secondly, “Marijuana Use Disorder” is a loose term. You have to smoke like 2 joints a week to be considered “an addict” which makes anyone who is “busted with weed” essentially “addicted” according to this rhetoric.
Finally, even this article admits that the vast majority of consumers don’t have a negative experience. And their line of questioning ends there.
Why didn’t they ask, “Why did the 6 out of 7 have a good experience?” What where the differences between these people? Did it have anything to do with set and setting, history of psychotic disorders, etc?
All of these issues have practical solutions, but when you drum the “alarmist” drum, you can’t hone in on the actual important elements, you have to keep the ethereal boogieman in the center frame so that you can continue to operate with impunity.
CNN:
Uneven State Regulation
Medical use of marijuana is now legal in 40 states and the District of Columbia, and recreational or adult use is legal in 22 states plus D.C., according to MJBizDaily, a trade publication.
Early in the covid-19 pandemic, while much of America was in lockdown, marijuana dispensaries delivered. Many states declared them essential businesses.
But only two adult-use states, Vermont and Connecticut, have placed caps on THC content — 30% for cannabis flower and 60% for THC concentrates — and they exempt pre-filled vape cartridges from the caps, said Gillian Schauer from the Cannabis Regulators Association, a group of state regulators.
Some states cap the number of ounces or grams consumers are allowed to buy. However, even a little marijuana can amount to a lot of THC, said Rosalie Liccardo Pacula, a professor of health policy, economics, and law at the University of Southern California.
Some states allow only medical use of low-THC products — for instance, in Texas, substances that contain no more than 0.5% THC by weight. And some states require warning labels. In New Jersey, cannabis products composed of more than 40% THC must declare: “This is a high potency product and may increase your risk for psychosis.”
Reginald
It’s true that due to cannabis prohibition on a federal level, there is no universal regulation. However, the evidence linking high potency cannabis caps and the impact on people consuming them is limited.
Whether it’s legal or not – high potency cannabis is now a thing. Meaning, people will get it iether on the black market or the legal market.
The truth of the matter is that if you are going to “cap” how much cannabis you can buy under the guise of public safety, shouldn’t that apply to alcohol which has a higher body toll than cannabis?
Alcohol is tied to 40% of all violent crimes and domestic abuse. If there’s a candidate to “limit” in terms of potency, and availability it’s alcohol.
Yet the reason we don’t do this is due to the failed experiment of prohibition. We know that if you limit or try to prohibit certain goods – the black market steps in.
Therefore, the best approach is education. Teaching people “how” and informing them of the risks. Creating protocols for those who have “gone over the edge” and provide them with the tools to get back on track.
CNN:
The FDA has “all the power it needs to regulate state-legalized cannabis products much more effectively,” said Lindblom, the former FDA official.
At least publicly, the FDA has focused not on THC concentrates derived from cannabis or weed smoked in joints, but rather on other substances: a THC variant derived from hemp, which the federal government has legalized, and a different cannabis derivative called cannabidiol or CBD, which has been marketed as therapeutic.
“The FDA is committed to monitoring the marketplace, identifying cannabis products that pose risks, and acting, within our authorities, to protect the public,” FDA spokesperson Courtney Rhodes said.
“Many/most THC products meet the definition of marijuana, which is a controlled substance. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. We refer you to the Drug Enforcement Administration for questions about regulation and enforcement under the provisions of the CSA,” Rhodes wrote in an email.
The DEA, part of the Justice Department, did not respond to questions for this article.
Reginald:
That’s because, for anyone who understands how the FDA and the DEA operate, they are the gatekeepers to legalization. It’s because of this catch-22 situation that exists between the DEA and the FDA.
They have used this system for decades to stagnate research, stop any attempts of decriminalization, de-scheduling, etc.
While the FDA could regulate cannabis, I’d rather not. Since the pandemic, we have seen that the FDA is essentially an extension of big pharma. We have enough historic evidence to at the very least suggest a “heavy collaboration” between the regulatory body and those they “allegedly” regulate.
From a consumer perspective, the trust in the FDA is at an all time low. We know more about how they operate now especially due to how they handled the pandemic.
Therefore, it would be best to create a special regulatory agency apart from the FDA. Under what scheduling is alcohol and tobacco again?
CNN:
In the meantime, said Coleman, adviser to the National Cannabis Industry Association, states are left “having to become USDA + FDA + DEA all at the same time.”
And where does that leave consumers? Some, like Wendy E., a retired small-business owner in her 60s, struggle with the effects of today’s marijuana.
Wendy, who spoke on the condition that she not be fully named, started smoking marijuana in high school in the 1970s and made it part of her lifestyle for decades.
Then when her state legalized it, she bought it in dispensaries “and very quickly noticed that the potency was much higher than what I had traditionally used,” she said. “It seemed to have exponentially increased.”
In 2020, she said, the legal marijuana – much stronger than the illicit weed of her youth – left her obsessing about ways to kill herself.
Once, the self-described “earth-mother hippie” found camaraderie passing a joint with friends. Now, she attends Marijuana Anonymous meetings with others recovering from addiction to the stuff.
Reginald:
Then Wendy the earth mother should grow her own cannabis shouldn’t she? After all, she is an “earth mother”. And why would she suddenly be attending a marijuana anonymous meeting? If she’s been smoking all her life, then she had access to cannabis pre-legality.
Meaning that she has a direct link to her “OG” weed.
Something just smells way too fishy with these unprovable sob stories about weed grannies and teenagers losing their shit because of the “potent weed” when 6 in 7 have no issue with high potency weed according to the very article.
This is a tactic that was used by Randolph Hearst when he tried to smear cannabis. He invented these stories that “could be true” and since he owned the newspapers, he didn’t have to prove it to be true.
CNN, being a tool for Pfizer would most certainly advocate against cannabis for the sole reason that legalization of cannabis equals massive loss of potential revenue for pharma.
Furthermore, people often times “red pill” themselves when they smoke weed, especially, when they learn about the messed up history of cannabis prohibition.
Therefore, from what I see from this article is no different than from what Hearst and DuPont wrote about cannabis in the 1930s leading up to Reefer Madness..
The Sticky Bottom line
At the end of the day, I think that most people don’t take CNN too serious anymore. Nonetheless, they spam this into the psyche of the masses which forms social opinions. This is why I take it upon myself to eviscerate their propaganda and show a more nuanced version of the truth.
CNN AND CLICKBAIT CANNABIS HEADLINES, READ ON…
Germany had a record 34.6 tons of cannabis imported in 2023 for medicinal and research uses, a significant increase from previous years. This inflow highlights how Europe’s biggest medical marijuana market—which is federally regulated—is changing, as seen by the increasing interest that foreign organizations are showing in Germany’s cannabis sector. Notwithstanding a little slowdown in growth relative to prior years, the notable rise in imports underscores the nation’s critical position in molding the world’s cannabis industry.
The surge in cannabis imports coincides with significant shifts in Germany’s regulatory framework, particularly the abolition of the previous cultivation quota system. This system, which restricted domestic cultivation to a select few companies, compelled the nation to heavily rely on imports to meet demand. With the introduction of more flexible conditions for cultivating medical cannabis under the new legislation, Germany aims to reduce its dependence on foreign imports, ushering in a potentially transformative era for the domestic cannabis industry.
End of Cultivation Quota System: A New Era for German Cannabis
The abolition of Germany’s growing quota system, which marks a watershed moment in the country’s cannabis industry, promises a paradigm shift in cultivation dynamics. Only three companies were awarded permits to develop medical marijuana under the previous system, following a stringent application process. As a result, their total output was limited to 10,400 kg over four years. As a result, the shortage of supplies from domestic farms forced a considerable reliance on imports to meet rising demand.
However, with the latest regulatory revision, enterprises may now apply directly to the Cannabis Agency for permission to produce medicinal marijuana. This decision marks a shift from the tight quotas of the past, providing a more streamlined and accessible route for firms to engage in cannabis growing. Peter Homberg, a major person in Germany’s cannabis business, believes that the increased flexibility in cultivation conditions will progressively reduce the need for foreign imports, opening the path for more self-sufficiency in the home market.
Once the growing quota system is removed, there will be a great deal of freedom for expansion and innovation in the German cannabis industry. By allowing a greater variety of companies to engage in cultivation, the regulation change fosters a more competitive environment that is advantageous to development and diversity. Moreover, this is a significant step toward aligning German cannabis regulations with evolving international standards, therefore enhancing the nation’s competitiveness in the global cannabis market.
While the transition away from import dependence may take time to materialize fully, the dismantling of the cultivation quota system sets the stage for a transformative journey towards self-sustainability. As companies seize the opportunity to expand their cultivation operations under the new regulatory framework, Germany inches closer to realizing its vision of a thriving and resilient domestic cannabis industry.
Imports in Flux: Dynamics of Germany’s Medical Cannabis Market
Germany is a significant importer of medicinal cannabis, but its position is under examination due to changing market dynamics and regulatory environments. In the past, the country has been a vital market for foreign exporters, providing profitable prospects in the largest federally regulated medicinal marijuana industry in Europe. Nonetheless, recent legislative modifications, such as the removal of marijuana from the list of illegal substances, portend a possible reorganization of Germany’s import market.
The elimination of the requirement for patients to get specific prescriptions for medicinal cannabis has simplified access to the drug by removing marijuana off Germany’s list of illegal substances. Standard prescriptions, on the other hand, are sufficient, streamlining the procedure and maybe stimulating demand in the medical cannabis industry. This legislative change is anticipated to rebalance the import-export dynamics, which might change the way cannabis goods enter Germany and change international export tactics.
It’s unclear how long Germany will continue to rely on cannabis imports despite these legislative changes. The timetable for reaching self-sufficiency is still unclear, even though it is expected that domestic cultivation and the elimination of regulatory obstacles would eventually lessen reliance. The future course of Germany’s medicinal cannabis market may be significantly influenced by strategic alliances and infrastructure investments made by industry players as they traverse this transitional period.
Fostering Domestic Growth: Germany’s Cannabis Cultivation Outlook
The cannabis industry is seeing a radical change as Germany allows for larger-scale commercial cultivation. The possibility of obtaining cultivation permits offers domestic businesses a special chance to profit from the growing market for medical marijuana. Demecan’s managing director, Constantin von der Groeben, is upbeat about the industry’s potential for expansion and notes that his company is prepared to surpass prior production quotas in light of the current legal environment. This shift toward homegrown production represents a calculated attempt to foster self-sufficiency in the German cannabis industry. Although imports would still be necessary to meet demand right away, the granting of crop licenses indicates a more extensive commitment to developing domestic production capacity. The sector prepares for a period of innovation and growth as stakeholders look at opportunities for extended cultivation activities.
This pivot towards domestic cultivation signifies a strategic endeavor to cultivate self-sufficiency within Germany’s cannabis market. While imports may continue to fulfill immediate demand, the issuance of cultivation licenses signals a broader commitment to fostering indigenous production capabilities. As stakeholders explore avenues for expanded cultivation initiatives, the industry braces for a period of innovation and expansion, poised to redefine Germany’s role within the global cannabis market.
Nevertheless, the timeline for achieving full autonomy in cannabis cultivation remains uncertain. While strides are made towards bolstering domestic production, Germany’s reliance on imports may persist in the short to medium term. As industry players navigate regulatory nuances and operational challenges, strategic partnerships and investments in cultivation infrastructure are poised to shape the trajectory of Germany’s cannabis industry, laying the groundwork for sustained growth and innovation.
Bottom Line
Germany’s record-breaking cannabis imports in 2023 underscore the nation’s pivotal role in shaping the global cannabis industry. Regulatory changes, such as the abolition of the cultivation quota system, signal a transformative shift towards self-sufficiency in domestic cultivation. While significant progress has been made, the timeline for achieving full autonomy remains uncertain. Strategic partnerships and investments will be instrumental in navigating regulatory complexities and ensuring sustainable growth in Germany’s evolving cannabis market.
HOW IS GERMANY IMPORTING WEED, READ ON…
Let’s imagine you just found out you have a surprise drug test at work and you “may or may not” need to flush THC out of your system as fast as possible by, say, Monday.
Detoxing from cannabis involves waiting until all traces of the substance have cleared the body, a process influenced by factors like usage frequency and quantity. If you need to flush all the weed out of your system within 10 days, order a Test Clear Kit here, they work well and have great customer reviews. But what is going on with your body and why does your body still have THC in it after smoking weed?
Cannabis comprises various compounds, notably tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These substances bind to the same receptors as naturally occurring endocannabinoids, typically eliminated through urine and stool.
Detoxing from marijuana and managing cannabis use disorder involves a multifaceted approach. This includes goal setting with support, addressing withdrawal symptoms, managing physical and mental changes during detoxification, among other elements.
Given the individualized nature of substance use disorder, seeking professional addiction treatment is crucial. It allows for tailored detox strategies, managing potential side effects, handling marijuana overdose effects, and exploring diverse detox methodologies.
Understanding Marijuana Detox
Marijuana detox is the process of eliminating tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), marijuana’s psychoactive component, from the body. It is critical because THC can remain in the body’s fat cells even after marijuana usage has stopped, potentially resulting in positive drug test results or hampering efforts to achieve sobriety.
Marijuana detox is required to eliminate leftover THC from the system in those who are drug tested, such as sports, workers, or those in court. This protects against negative repercussions while also ensuring that testing protocols are followed.
The process of marijuana detox is essential to the goal of recovery. Removing THC from the body helps to terminate the cycle of reliance, lessen cravings, and make the road to recovery easier.
Additionally, persons suffering from marijuana-related health issues may require marijuana detox. Excessive or extended usage can be detrimental to both physical and mental health. Detoxification, which allows the body to rid itself of THC and its derivatives, may be able to mitigate any negative health consequences. Could you pass a THC drug test with 2 hours notice? Let’s find out…
What’s the duration of cannabis presence in the body?
As per American Addiction Centers, here’s the estimated duration for cannabis detection:
– Hair: Up to 90 days
– Urine: 3 days to over a month, contingent on usage
– Saliva: Approximately 48 hours
– Blood: Roughly 36 hours
Moreover, a 2017 study found that cannabinoids may persist in sweat for 7–14 days.
The duration of these compounds in one’s system varies widely. Another 2017 study highlights that the strain of cannabis used is a significant factor. Different strains contain varying cannabinoid levels, influencing their presence in the body.
Usage frequency also plays a role. Prolonged cannabis use prolongs cannabinoid traces in the body. This implies potential positive tests months after cessation; some have tested positive for THC even 3 months post-discontinuation.
Other factors impacting cannabis detection duration include:
– Consumption volume
– Exercise frequency and type
– Dietary habits
– Metabolic rate
– Body fat percentage
Given these variables, pinpointing the exact duration of cannabis, particularly THC, in one’s system after use can be challenging.
Optimal Methods for Weed Detox
Detoxifying from marijuana is multifaceted, with no singular “hack” to navigate through withdrawal, cravings, and other challenges.
Achieving the best results in marijuana detox entails considering various factors. Effective marijuana detox involves:
1. Attending to physical well-being by addressing common symptoms like aches and pains during withdrawal.
2. Maintaining a balanced diet with ample water intake, consistent healthy meals, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine.
3. Prioritizing mental health care to manage emotional adjustments in brain chemistry, such as anxiety or depression.
4. Implementing strategies to prevent relapse and cope with cravings through support groups, therapy, or treatment centers.
5. Engaging in therapeutic activities to foster new interests and habits, often facilitated through outpatient programs or professional assistance.
There’s no shortcut to hasten marijuana detox. However, practices like hydration, nutrition, warm showers, and exercise can aid in physical comfort. Yet, the body and mind still require time to purge THC remnants.
Rather than expediting detox, it’s crucial to utilize this period with medical guidance to establish a foundation for relapse prevention and address withdrawal symptoms.
Though treatments and medical detox programs exist, there’s no quick fix or magic remedy to instantly eliminate marijuana from the system or pass drug tests.
Symptoms like red eyes can be alleviated with cold compresses and eye drops.
Natural detoxification remains the most effective approach. The liver plays a pivotal role in removing marijuana and other toxins. Maintaining overall health supports liver function, aiding in toxin elimination and restoring bodily balance.
Various products claim to assist individuals in eliminating cannabis traces from their bodies, available in forms such as:
– Tablets
– Capsules
– Mouthwashes
– Shampoos
However, the effectiveness of these detoxes may vary depending on the type of drug test undergone. For instance, detoxes targeting urine cleansing might not yield desired results and could even result in a contaminated urine sample.
This occurs because urine-focused detoxes operate by purging the kidneys. While eliminating THC, they may inadvertently remove creatine and diminish urine’s natural density. Consequently, these factors could lead to the test appearing contaminated, necessitating a repeat test.
The Importance of Professional Marijuana Detox
Seeking marijuana detox with medical oversight is essential for safety and efficacy. Healthcare experts can craft personalized detox strategies tailored to an individual’s unique requirements, objectives, and medical background. They oversee the detox process, offer guidance, and manage any potential complications.
Supervised detox guarantees appropriate support and care, with healthcare professionals recommending additional treatments or therapies to address withdrawal symptoms and underlying issues contributing to marijuana usage.
Furthermore, medical supervision ensures the individual’s safety throughout detoxification. Abrupt cessation of marijuana may induce withdrawal symptoms, potentially uncomfortable or harmful. Professionals can employ measures to mitigate these symptoms and advise on managing cravings for sustained abstinence.
Bottom Line
THC detoxification is a complex process influenced by individual factors like usage patterns and metabolism. While natural methods offer effectiveness, seeking professional medical guidance ensures personalized care and safety. From managing withdrawal symptoms to addressing underlying issues, professional supervision enhances the detox journey. Remember, there’s no instant solution for THC detox, but with patience, proper care, and professional support, individuals can navigate towards sobriety and improved well-being successfully. By understanding the importance of medical supervision, individuals can embark on a journey of detoxification with confidence, knowing they have the necessary tools and support to achieve their goals.
