Researchers have speculated Cannabinoids to have a broad potential use as therapeutics in a variety of health issues. Ranging from treating chronic pain to psychiatric disorders. The possible use as a chronic pain reliever to substitute in place of opioids is a significant motivator to push the CBD market forward.
Regarding psychiatric disorders, numerous American citizens suffer from disorders ranging from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), through panic disorder (PDP, all the way to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If the class of compounds (i.e., Cannabinoids) could reduce/ mitigate disorders and pain, why not use them in place of more dangerous substances? Here is your chance to weigh in on the issue at hand. One source of cannabinoids is from hemp. In 2018, the farm bill included provisions on hemp production along with restrictions on THC -- tetrahydrocannabinol -- content in the crop. THC is the component in marijuana, which is attributed to the psychedelic effects.

According to Politico Agriculture (and the USDA), the comment period will be extended from December 30th until January 20th:
GET THOSE HEMP COMMENTS IN: The Agriculture Department extended the deadline for public comment on its proposed hemp regulations from Dec. 30 to Jan. 29, meaning implementation of the new rules could be delayed. That's potentially a problem for aspiring hemp growers getting set for the 2020 planting season, writes Pro Ag's Liz Crampton.
More than 1,000 comments have been submitted already — and the bulk of the input is likely to come in just before the deadline. USDA's plans cover everything from THC testing to hemp data maintenance. If you need a refresher on the regs: Read up here.
The regulations were released by the USDA back in October of this year. More information can be found on the following web page on Regulations. Check it out.
In the near future, I will be writing more about the chemistry of the CBD production, testing, and market for investing. Stay tuned!
