Medical Cannabis Benefits

Chronic Pain

Patients who suffer from chronic pain caused by diabetes, cancer, MS, HIV, and other diseases have been turning to medical marijuana as a way to treat their pain without the use of addictive pharmaceutical medications.

Cancer

The active component of the marijuana plant, cannabinoids, have shown to inhibit tumor growth and kill cancer cells in lab testings. We work with a number of patients who use cannabis to treat their cancer and suppress it's side effects. giving them a better quality of life.

PTSD

There’s a study to support the use of cannabis to treat PTSD among returning US soldiers. The study is being led by Dr. Sue Sisley. It is part of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. The organization, called MAPS for short, is a research institute focused on exploring medicinal uses of cannabis and psychedelics.

Sisley’s project is focused specifically on learning how cannabis affects military veterans suffering from PTSD. The project first received approval from the U.S. Public Health Service in 2014.

Later that year, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment awarded a $2 million grant to complete the research.

Finally, in January 2017, research began at the Scottsdale Research Institute in Phoenix, Arizona. Now, a little over a year later, Sisley’s project is in its official Phase 2 clinical trial phase.

We at Firefly look forward to assisting our veterans upon there return and offer a 10% discount to all US veterans.

Thank you for your service.

NEWS OF THE DAY

NEW POLICIES FOR SPORTS REGARDING CANNABIS?

Football may be America's favorite sport and the National Football League (NFL) is still at the apex of its popularity, but it has a dark cloud overshadowing its undeniable clout amongst professional sports.

Despite being widely considered one of the most physically taxing sports in the world — researchers found that 99 percent of former NFL players who donated their brains to science had some form of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) — the league still enforces one of the strictest cannabis policies in professional sports.

While Americans have come to view marijuana much differently than it did even a decade ago, the NFL has yet to follow suit — but that could change come 2020.

CBA Up for Renewal

While the plant remains a fully banned substance under the incumbent collective bargaining agreement (CBA), according to a report from NBC Sports, the NFL has quietly discussed making major concessionsto its substance abuse policy, with medical marijuana being the primary focus. However, for a league that has been historically anti-pot, coupled with the fact that it's still illegal federally, it's not as cut-and-dried of a situation as one might think.

Per the NBC Sports report, the league has discussed making medical marijuana permissible in states where it is legal, but this could wreak havoc on free agency, as players might likely favor teams in states where adult-use or medicinal marijuana is legal; 25 of the NFL's 32 teams are in such states. While a full removal of cannabis off of the banned substance list is also still on the table, the league would need to have a protocol for players with marijuana-related offenses in banned states. This presents the NFL with another roadblock it is not yet prepared to clear.

It's inevitably going to have to come down to the 2020 CBA.

Many around the league, including NFL Players Association (NFLPA) Executive Director DeMaurice Smith, expects another lockout to occur in 2020; it would be the first since 2011. As always, player health and safety will remain a hot-button issue.

CBD and the NFL

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins believes legalizing cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating compound in cannabis, could serve as a bridge to cannabis use in the NFL, according to a July 2, 2018, Bleacher Report article. However, both James and Symonds agree that utilizing the full cannabis plant should be the main goal.

“When it comes to chronic pain, where guys are using something extensively, or over a long period of time, I'd rather for it to be cannabis versus opiates,” James said. The former running back noted that the THC in the full plant helps greatly with alleviating pain.

“There are some benefits from hemp-derived CBD,” he noted. “But I'm a full-spectrum guy.”

Symonds also said there's already plenty of evidence to support that the full-spectrum plant is the better, if not the absolutely necessary, option.

“It's past time that sports leagues and governing bodies recognize the science showing cannabis' therapeutic benefits — including not just CBD, but also THC and all of the other many beneficial components of the plant.”
