Most illness's are related to the body being out of balance, either by deficiency's, irregular nerve activity, or forms of inflammation. The cannabis plant is intended to be taken in a form that includes most or all of the cannabinoids. Throughout mankind's history we have used the whole plant in tinctures, anointing oils, and topicals.
To bring balance to the body, you have to provide the body with a balanced product. When I formulate tinctures, I pick complementary cannabinoids and terpenes for an intended problem like pain/inflammation, sleep, or anxiety. Just taking thc gummies does not let you get the benefit of the entourage effect. This is a synergistic action where the combined effect is greater than the sum of their separate effects.
Pharmaceutical companies look at individual components of the cannabis plant rather than whole plant compounds. This is because they can make drugs from an individual compound but not multi-cannabinoid drugs. There are too many possible drug interactions for a multi-cannnabinoid product to pass through clinical trials. Yes, delta9 thc can be a good start to help with a wide variety of problems, except for anxiety, but if you're chasing the high, you're missing out on the healing power of the plant.

When people talk about THC, they usually focus on the feeling, but the real story is what happens at the CB1 receptors. These are little protein sites scattered across the brain that help regulate mood, memory, sleep, and sensory flow. THC fits these receptors like a key, but it fits a little too well. It grabs hold in a way that can overwhelm the system after a trauma or illness when the brain is already trying to regain its footing.

CBD steps into that picture with a much calmer attitude. It does not grab CB1 the way THC does. Instead, it settles near the receptor and changes the tone of the conversation. Think of THC knocking on the door with urgency, while CBD stands nearby, reminding the receptor not to overreact. That gentle influence helps maintain steady signaling, which is critical during healing.

After a trauma or a long illness, the brain often loses endocannabinoid activity. The Master Regulator is drained, the body’s own cannabinoids, like anandamide, are running low, and the receptors that THC interacts with are not as stable. THC can hit too hard in that state and create anxiety or sensory pressure. CBD supports those same CB1 receptors by modulating how THC binds and by helping endocannabinoids move through the system with more control. That balancing act gives the brain a safer way to rebuild.

CBD also helps with receptor repair. When you go through a major stressor, the system is trying to repopulate CB1 sites that got blunted by illness or overuse. CBD supports that recovery by easing inflammatory pressure and helping anandamide stay active longer. That helps rebuild the tone that keeps THC from feeling rough or chaotic.

So when you combine THC with CBD after any trauma, you are not just taking two cannabinoids; you are giving the CB1 receptors a chance to stabilize, breathe, and recover. The brain works better when THC does not dominate the entire signal. CBD creates clarity by steadying the receptor, improving the endocannabinoid environment, and helping the person ease back into balance.

A good explanation of an effective ban on the h**p industry. O.4mg is an impossible level to achieve without using isolates. A CBD full spectrum 1000mg tincture should have 25-30mg of delta9 thc, and that level is not intoxicating.
The 2018 Farm Bill is the lie that gets repeated enough to be the truth. In that bill on the same page, right after the cannabis definition, it mentions tetrahydrocannabinols, (plural). Its not a loophole.
CBD isolate products have very limited use and are not heavily purchased by the consumer. For effective healing, we must use all or most of the plant, (entourage effect), as it was intended. For the first time in history we have effective extraction techniques where we can isolate the different cannabinoids. This gives us the ability to make products with different cannabinoid concentrations for targeted effects like anxiety, sleep, pain, tremors, etc. You have more cannabis receptors (CB1, CB2 and others) than any other type of receptor in the body. Its in all your organs, CNS, it connects, modulates these systems on a cellular level by affecting mitochondria, nerve signaling, cytokine release, serotonin and dopamine levels, and also protecting us by reducing inflammation, providing neuroplasticity and a whole host of other benefits.
Of course Americans being healthy and self sufficient is a threat to the pharmaceuticals companies, alcohol companies(thc drinks), and the MSO cannabis companies all making billions at your expense. They provide products but not solutions.
I myself have gotten off 3 pharmaceutical prescriptions for the last 3 years by formulating cannabinoid tinctures.
But they do provide millions in donations to politicians to make laws favorable to their continued success. We have seen this in the last couple years with lawsuits in several states, and this language in the Farm Bill.
In Maryland, cbd/cbg/cbc/cbn/delta8/thcv products can be purchased at dispensaries but generally are not very available. The focus is on flower, which now is all thca which previously has not been regulated. This is a gift to the MD growers, because they can grow more crop cycles, make more money, and sell you a product that is less potent. THCa when decarboxylated turns into delta9. This process is the same for all of the acidic precursors.
Amount of THCa x 0.877 = Amount of delta9
30% THCa x 0.877 = 26.31% delta9
*BTW* Do not eat thca gummies as they don't decarboxylate by eating, there isn't enough heat. Its a bu****it product.
Also the Eastern Shore of MD is much too humid to grow good flower, mold is always an issue. Cannabis, like blueberries, coffee, wine should be on the side of a mountain in sandy loam soil.
This law will wipe out the h**p industry and give the cannabis companies a monopoly, who will then give you crappy products because thats the only choice you have. A tightly regulated market kills innovation, competition, and free trade.
This one year extension is due to Senator Rand Paul's (R-Kentucky) continued support.

Dear SUSTAIN Family,

We hope this message finds you well, grounded, and thankful for the vibrant community we’ve built together around h**p-derived wellness. We at SUSTAIN are as committed as ever to bringing you safe, transparent, thoughtful products that heal, support, and uplift. And today we write to you with both optimism and urgency.

WHAT’S HAPPENING

Recently, a new federal appropriations bill was signed into law (and though at first glance it may seem distant from our daily storefront) tucked inside this legislation is troubling language that would jeopardize h**p-derived products you find here at SUSTAIN and across the national market. This troubling addition was quietly slid in during closed-door negotiations, originating from competitive sectors intent on shutting down the thriving h**p space.

If left unchecked, the text threatens to revoke the legal basis for countless h**p-derived offerings (including many of the products we champion). It doesn't feel like an attack on “just one product”, it feels like a threat to the foundation of an entire industry that has been building, responsibly, for years.

WHY WE’RE NOT GIVING UP

Here’s the good part: WE HAVE A FULL 365 DAYS to respond, to collaborate with our peers, make our voices heard, and push for a regulatory framework that the h**p industry has long requested. This isn’t just about defending the status quo; it’s about setting the terms for the future.

We believe the example set by West Virginia’s Regulated H**p Program offers a blueprint. That program shows how h**p cultivation, extraction, manufacturing and retail can be safe, transparent, and commercially viable and still fully aligned with consumer protection and public health. If the rest of the country follows that model, we can emerge stronger, more mature, and with better legislation that protects all stakeholders: farmers, retailers, consumers, and innovators.

WHY YOUR VOICE MATTERS

You, our customers, are the reason we’re here. You’re the people who trust SUSTAIN with your wellness, your discoveries, your questions. When we act together:

🔊 We amplify the voice of small and mid-sized businesses who have built everything from the ground up.

💪 We protect the diversity of products and brands we carry, so you don’t see a one-size-fits-all version of h**p wellness.

💪We protect access so that individuals seeking h**p-derived support don’t lose out on safe, effective options.

WHAT WE’RE DOING,AND HOW YOU CAN HELP

Over the coming months we will:

✅Engage with industry associations, h**p coalitions, and regulatory advocates.
✅Supply data and real-world stories to lawmakers, showing how h**p-derived wellness works when done responsibly.
✅Monitor the legislative and regulatory landscape.
✅Keep you updated transparently and frequently about where things stand.

And you can help by:

✅Staying informed: ask questions, share with us what’s working (or not working) for you.
✅Making your voice heard: contact your congressional representatives, sign our forthcoming petition, join in on public comment opportunities.
✅Supporting local, independent retailers like SUSTAIN. When you shop here, you’re supporting the ecosystem of responsible h**p wellness.
✅Sharing your story: how has h**p-derived wellness impacted your life? The more authentic stories we have, the stronger our collective case.

LOOKING AHEAD

Yes the path ahead has a mountain to climb. But we are HOPEFUL. We are ENGAGED. And we are READY. We believe that the next 12 months will not just be a fight for survival, but they will be a launching point for the kind of regulatory clarity, sustainability, and integrity this industry has long deserved.

Thank you for being part of SUSTAIN. Thank you for believing in what h**p-derived wellness can be: safe, accessible, backed by science, and rooted in community. Together, we will navigate this moment and we will emerge stronger.

With determination and gratitude,
The SUSTAIN Fam

I love CBGa because it treats balance like a job, not a slogan. The Master Regulator needs raw materials and clear signals, and CBGa shows up early, works quietly, and sets the tone for everything that follows. It is the mother molecule in the plant, a starting point that the body seems to understand.

When I stack it into a protocol, I see steadier mornings, calmer afternoons, and a nervous system that is less jumpy and more coachable.

I love it because it plays nicely with others. CBGa pairs with magnesium, omega-3s, B-vitamins, and a sane sleep schedule, then nudges our own endocannabinoids to stick around longer. That means less noise in the background, fewer false alarms, and more room for real relief.

Heavy THC users tell me their tolerance softens when CBGa is in the mix, receptors feel reachable again, and the plant works like it should instead of shouting to be heard.

I love it because it is clear-headed. People can function, think, and still feel that quiet support under the hood. Morning CBGa with coffee, after water and electrolytes is my baseline, then I adjust the rest based on the day's schedule and the body's needs.

I love it because the outcomes keep lining up with the biology. Better tone in the stress response, smoother gut days, fewer flare signals in joints and skin, and a mind that does not flood every time life throws a curve.

I have watched this across years, in complex cases and simple ones, and the pattern holds. You can start with balance by lowering tolerance with CBGa, protecting your own endocannabinoid tone and signals, and then let the rest of the plan do its work.

That is why I keep saying it. CBGa first, not as a fad, as a foundation. Get your habits right, keep your hydration tight, listen to your body, and let The Master Regulator do what it does best.

A good article about dementia, which affects many families, including mine.

"As the most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s accounts for between 60 and 80 percent of all diagnosed cases in the world. The disease stems from the loss of neurons in the brain, causing irreversible impairment in memory and thinking.

Due to the complex nature of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are still uncovering what role the endocannabinoid system plays in both the treatment and causation. However, growing evidence shows the ECS, or lack of endocannabinoids, plays a role in the creation of the disease itself.

Various types of signaling occur in our brain, and the dysfunction of the ECS due to Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome is thought to be a leading cause of issues like Alzheimer's.

The loss of nerve cell connection in Dementia patients results in plaque accumulation and variable nerve cell transmission. These disruptions essentially prevent the receptors found within the ECS from keeping the body in homeostasis which furthers the complications.

CB1 receptors are a vital component of the endocannabinoid system as they're responsible for neurotransmission behavior. These receptors are commonly found in regions of the brain that CBD stimulates to produce their intended effect. Research has found with Alzheimer’s disease, CBD mainly targets the CB1 receptors to produce a favorable immune response.

CBD is also widely known for its anti-inflammatory response within our immune system which promotes neurogenesis and lessens neuroinflammatory responses. Neurogenesis is crucial for Alzheimer's patients because the growth and development of new nervous tissue can prevent further memory impairment and loss of cognitive abilities." -Mike Robinson, founder Global Cannabinoid Research Center **pMyMedicine

This is a pretty good article about cbd for general use in dogs. All mammals have a ECS so all can benefit from cannabinoids. Current animal patients include many dogs for anxiety issues, one golden lab for epilepsy, one pygmy goat with a bad hip, and cats for well, being cats.

For pain and inflammation a CBD full spectrum tincture works great for problems like growing pains in puppies, hip dysplasia, and hospice.
For stress and behavioural issues, a CBD isolate is the most helpful. When I put my Rotty, Greta in boarding I gave them cbd to give her. She was the calmest dog there, and had never been boarded before.
For epilepsy a CBD full spectrum tincture works best. You need the thc to be truly effective. For people with epilepsy, the latest research is showing good success with THCv and Delta9 thc.

CBD oil is a liquid containing cannabidiol derived from the h**p plant, a variety of cannabis boasting high CBD and low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels. THC
