This chris um in um in america is there still this sort of pushback from no no you've got to have you know big pharma you've got to have the hemp gel we don't we don't recognize this as being helpful so it changes every day and it's changed greatly over time and i've i frankly have been flabbergasted i myself have testified you know in in state senates and houses and rule making committees where you know the law is about to change there's a proposal in front to regulate the industry and this particular example is in medical cannabis but i it floored me russ because you have the chief of police association there to lobby against the bill and i'm there to say look we can practically figure this out together and by the way you guys already decriminalized the possession of an ounce or less so running a red light is more egregious than having an ounce of weed and now you're gonna you're gonna tell us that we can't you know meaningfully produce something after the hearing the head of the chief of police association comes up and says so my dad's pretty sick and i'm wondering you can get me stuff this is what we're here to discuss man so times are a changing and the fda here um has not made up their mind quite yet on what the definitions should be but they are actively regulating the industry our state department of health and our state regulators have been extremely excited about yet responsible with how they regulate us and the fda i think is is is looking to um novel foods as a very interesting way of doing this right their concerns are about safety of the products and my argument to this is look if we can demonstrate some safety and we can demonstrate that and produce these products in accordance with what we call good manufacturing practices which exist for foods another set exists for supplements and another set even more stringent exists for pharmaceutical production
Hemp Supplements For A Week
So if we know how the product is grown and produced and it's very well documented and controlled then you've got the answer right you can say it's safe safely produced and uh resoundingly similar batch to batch a lot to lot you have mechanisms to recall a product if you had to what i'm saying is we normalize this just like everything else people take slimming gel supplement what's the big deal you know this should be no different and so we have invested very heavily in toxicology work and stability work to show that these products are safe and that there's no arsenic or lead or residual solvents or microbiology concerns with the ingredient that ollie might use to formulate and with the finished goods that ollie formulates as an example we have to tap we spend more damn money on testing than you would believe do you spend more money the amount of money we spent on tesla on testing we could have bought a tesla okay and when you figure that out you're like oh my god should have just not tested anything rolling around in a tesla i would have been happier okay this is the way of the world you have to ease those concerns
