The Good: A bill that was recently passed by the Indiana Senate looks to regulate the production of hemp and its uses.

Senate Bill 516 would create an Indiana hemp advisory committee to provide advice regarding Indiana’s hemp laws. 

The Bad:  A last minute amendment was recently added to the bill that bans smokable CBD products. It also makes it illegal to buy or sell CBD flower.  The amendment could have long reaching unattended consequences.  

Why it matters: Smoking or Vaping CBD is the fastest way to get CBD into your system by entering the bloodstream immediately during inhalation.  Because of this you will feel the benefits in seconds.  This is great for immediate pain relief and to help with anxiety and other conditions.  CBD flower does the exact same but also has many other health benefits.  There is evidence that consuming hemp flower straight from the plant can boost overall effect and improve the cannabinoid’s beneficial aspects.

According to the NIH (National Cancer Institute) One study in mice and rats suggested that cannabinoids may have a Antitumor Effects. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/hp/cannabis-pdq
