Adi Aran knows why families are willing to drive hours to see him.
"I believe they come to me because nothing else is working," said the Israeli doctor.
"We are giving them hope. Yes, I think it's the hope."


The hope Aran is talking about comes in a 10 milliliter bottle. It is cannabis oil -- also known as CBD oil -- and Aran says it has a profound impact on many of his pediatric patients diagnosed with autism.
"Some of the families say to me it's changed their life totally," he told 13 Investigates. "And I've seen that. It changes their lives."

Aran, who oversees the neuropediatric unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, has spent years studying the effects of CBD oil on children who have autism.

His latest study -- the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world -- will be complete within the next few weeks. While the research is taking place half way around the globe, the impact could eventually be felt by thousands of families dealing with autism in Indiana and across the United States.

13 Investigates traveled to Israel to learn more about the groundbreaking research and what it could mean for young patients.
Nothing to lose

“We said, 'OK, we can't go on like that anymore.' We had nothing to lose, so we tried something new.”
The idea of treating autism with cannabis oil was not Aran's idea; it came from his patients. The tall, gray-haired doctor admits his first response was skepticism.

"My initial reaction was, 'No.' There were no human studies or clinical studies .... and we didn't have any evidence that it will work," he said.
But Aran, who treats some of the most challenging cases of pediatric autism in the Middle East, eventually changed his mind. Desperate pleas from parents who lived in fear of their children's unpredictable, uncontrollable and often violent autistic outbursts convinced him to take a chance on an unproven therapy.

"We said, 'OK, we can't go on like that anymore.' We had nothing to lose, so we tried something new," Aran explained. He got permission from Israel's Ministry of Health to provide CBD oil to some of his patients, and he quickly noticed dramatic results.
"Many of them, the kids were really calm. For the first time, they were calm. The parents can get out of the house with them, and before they couldn't," the doctor said. "I saw the kids before the treatment and after the treatment, and I was very happy to see what happened."

Aran carefully documented what he observed in the first 60 children he treated with CBD oil. Behavioral outbursts were "much improved" or "very much improved" in more than 60% of the patients. Their parents reported fewer disruptive behaviors, reduced anxiety and a decrease in communication problems while their kids were taking cannabis oil. And the treatment resulted in very few negative side effects compared to the antipsychotic medications commonly prescribed to children diagnosed with autism. The results, published earlier this year in the medical journal Neurology, attracted worldwide attention.

Inspired by his early success, the health ministry quickly granted permission for a large-scale medical trial that Aran launched in January 2017. Families living with the devastating effects of autism have been making their way to his Jerusalem office ever since, looking for hope and possible answers for their children.
Miracle for autism?
One of those children is Noam Heifetz from Tel Aviv.
The 8-year-old boy sang softly as he stepped off an elevator at the sprawling Shaare Zedek medical complex, tightly holding his mother's wrist with both hands. Noam's eyes moved quickly, scanning unfamiliar faces as he walked towards Aran's office. Once inside, he approached the doctor to examine his black wristwatch. He then walked to a window to look outside before lying down on the floor near Aran's desk.
Noam was diagnosed with autism at age two. His symptoms are severe. Noam does not speak and needs adult supervision during every waking moment.
"You have a son like that who is basically so helpless and totally dependent on you, and then the enormous tantrums, enormous anger periods, it is very difficult," explained Eyal Heifetz, Noam's father.
For years, Noam's autism has meant daily meltdowns that last for hours, with nonstop shouting and aggression. During the meltdowns, his parents say Noam tries to slam his head into walls and will attempt to shove objects into his ears. That all changed when he started taking CBD oil during Aran's medical trial.
"That ended completely and that was amazing," his father told WTHR. "We tried other medicines and it didn't affect him. It didn't stop [the autistic outbursts]. The cannabis [oil] stopped it and that, for us, was almost a miracle."
Aran shares the family's excitement, but he says not all children treated with CBD oil showed improvements, and he cautions against the idea that cannabis oil is a "miracle" for those with autism.
"I am getting desperate calls from parents every day, and I have to explain this is not a miracle treatment for autism. It's not a cure. The children remain autistic, but the quality of life is improved. Often it improved -- sometimes a lot," he said.
What is CBD oil
CBD or cannabidiol is extracted from the flowers and buds of hemp plants. Some studies have shown CBD can help reduce pain, inflammation, seizures, anxiety and other medical disorders, prompting calls for more scientific research. CBD oil does not produce intoxication because it contains very low levels of the chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

How the study works
The 2-year study now taking place in Jerusalem includes 150 children and young adults who have mild to severe autism. They receive cannabis oil that consists of 20 parts CBD (a non-psychoactive element of the cannabis plant that has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties) and one part THC dissolved in olive oil. That amount of THC can heighten the impact of the CBD but is far too small to cause a "high," according to Aran.

“For the first time since he was very small, it was like he was free to be himself.”
Noam and other participants in the clinical trial took cannabis oil three times a day for 12 weeks during one phase of the study, followed by a 4-week washout period.

During a second 12-week phase, they received a placebo consisting of favored olive oil with no CBD. Because the study is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial meant to ensure scientific accuracy, families and Aran were not told whether each study participant received the CBD oil in phase one or in phase two.

For the Heifetz family, the two phases could not have been more different.
Speaking of the first phase of the trial -- when he believes his son received the cannabis oil -- Noam's father got tears in his eyes. "It was a whole different world for us. For the first time since he was very small, it was like he was free to be himself. He was calm and it's wonderful," he said.

During the second 12-week phase, Noam's more relaxed demeanor disappeared and his violent, autism-fueled tantrums returned. Once the second phase ended, the Heifetz family put Noam on a steady treatment of cannabis oil, and he quickly returned to a calm disposition with no daily outbursts or violent behavior.
"We did see a difference. A big difference," said Noam's mother, Esther.
"Life, it was quite impossible without the cannabis, and it is doable with the cannabis," her husband added.
"It works. Absolutely. No doubt. I'm certain about that."

The study could provide important confirmation for Noam and others who believe cannabis oil is effective in treating symptoms of autism, and that confirmation could come very soon. As the study nears its conclusion, the double-blind portion of the trial will be lifted November 1. That's when Aran will learn when each patient received CBD oil and when each received a placebo. Data and clinical notes will then be reviewed, and study results could be released by early 2019.

Aran knows those results could dramatically change autism treatment in Israel. The Ministry of Health will use the clinical trial to determine whether autism will be added to its official Green Book, a document that details all of the legally-acceptable indications for medical cannabis in Israel. Aran says he has also been contacted by public health officials in other countries -- including the United States -- who are closely watching his study and eagerly awaiting the results.

Here in Nigeria, a number of families are now heaving a sigh of relief, having embraced CBD OIL for their autistic children. Thank God for this amazing oil.

13 Investigates traveled to Israel to learn more about the groundbreaking research and what it could mean for young patients.
Nothing to lose

“We said, 'OK, we can't go on like that anymore.' We had nothing to lose, so we tried something new.”
The idea of treating autism with cannabis oil was not Aran's idea; it came from his patients. The tall, gray-haired doctor admits his first response was skepticism.

"My initial reaction was, 'No.' There were no human studies or clinical studies .... and we didn't have any evidence that it will work," he said.
But Aran, who treats some of the most challenging cases of pediatric autism in the Middle East, eventually changed his mind. Desperate pleas from parents who lived in fear of their children's unpredictable, uncontrollable and often violent autistic outbursts convinced him to take a chance on an unproven therapy.

"We said, 'OK, we can't go on like that anymore.' We had nothing to lose, so we tried something new," Aran explained. He got permission from Israel's Ministry of Health to provide CBD oil to some of his patients, and he quickly noticed dramatic results.
"Many of them, the kids were really calm. For the first time, they were calm. The parents can get out of the house with them, and before they couldn't," the doctor said. "I saw the kids before the treatment and after the treatment, and I was very happy to see what happened."

Aran carefully documented what he observed in the first 60 children he treated with CBD oil. Behavioral outbursts were "much improved" or "very much improved" in more than 60% of the patients. Their parents reported fewer disruptive behaviors, reduced anxiety and a decrease in communication problems while their kids were taking cannabis oil. And the treatment resulted in very few negative side effects compared to the antipsychotic medications commonly prescribed to children diagnosed with autism. The results, published earlier this year in the medical journal Neurology, attracted worldwide attention.

Inspired by his early success, the health ministry quickly granted permission for a large-scale medical trial that Aran launched in January 2017. Families living with the devastating effects of autism have been making their way to his Jerusalem office ever since, looking for hope and possible answers for their children.
Miracle for autism?
One of those children is Noam Heifetz from Tel Aviv.
The 8-year-old boy sang softly as he stepped off an elevator at the sprawling Shaare Zedek medical complex, tightly holding his mother's wrist with both hands. Noam's eyes moved quickly, scanning unfamiliar faces as he walked towards Aran's office. Once inside, he approached the doctor to examine his black wristwatch. He then walked to a window to look outside before lying down on the floor near Aran's desk.
Noam was diagnosed with autism at age two. His symptoms are severe. Noam does not speak and needs adult supervision during every waking moment.
"You have a son like that who is basically so helpless and totally dependent on you, and then the enormous tantrums, enormous anger periods, it is very difficult," explained Eyal Heifetz, Noam's father.
For years, Noam's autism has meant daily meltdowns that last for hours, with nonstop shouting and aggression. During the meltdowns, his parents say Noam tries to slam his head into walls and will attempt to shove objects into his ears. That all changed when he started taking CBD oil during Aran's medical trial.
"That ended completely and that was amazing," his father told WTHR. "We tried other medicines and it didn't affect him. It didn't stop [the autistic outbursts]. The cannabis [oil] stopped it and that, for us, was almost a miracle."
Aran shares the family's excitement, but he says not all children treated with CBD oil showed improvements, and he cautions against the idea that cannabis oil is a "miracle" for those with autism.
"I am getting desperate calls from parents every day, and I have to explain this is not a miracle treatment for autism. It's not a cure. The children remain autistic, but the quality of life is improved. Often it improved -- sometimes a lot," he said.
What is CBD oil
CBD or cannabidiol is extracted from the flowers and buds of hemp plants. Some studies have shown CBD can help reduce pain, inflammation, seizures, anxiety and other medical disorders, prompting calls for more scientific research. CBD oil does not produce intoxication because it contains very low levels of the chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

How the study works
The 2-year study now taking place in Jerusalem includes 150 children and young adults who have mild to severe autism. They receive cannabis oil that consists of 20 parts CBD (a non-psychoactive element of the cannabis plant that has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties) and one part THC dissolved in olive oil. That amount of THC can heighten the impact of the CBD but is far too small to cause a "high," according to Aran.

“For the first time since he was very small, it was like he was free to be himself.”
Noam and other participants in the clinical trial took cannabis oil three times a day for 12 weeks during one phase of the study, followed by a 4-week washout period.

During a second 12-week phase, they received a placebo consisting of favored olive oil with no CBD. Because the study is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial meant to ensure scientific accuracy, families and Aran were not told whether each study participant received the CBD oil in phase one or in phase two.

For the Heifetz family, the two phases could not have been more different.
Speaking of the first phase of the trial -- when he believes his son received the cannabis oil -- Noam's father got tears in his eyes. "It was a whole different world for us. For the first time since he was very small, it was like he was free to be himself. He was calm and it's wonderful," he said.

During the second 12-week phase, Noam's more relaxed demeanor disappeared and his violent, autism-fueled tantrums returned. Once the second phase ended, the Heifetz family put Noam on a steady treatment of cannabis oil, and he quickly returned to a calm disposition with no daily outbursts or violent behavior.
"We did see a difference. A big difference," said Noam's mother, Esther.
"Life, it was quite impossible without the cannabis, and it is doable with the cannabis," her husband added.
"It works. Absolutely. No doubt. I'm certain about that."

The study could provide important confirmation for Noam and others who believe cannabis oil is effective in treating symptoms of autism, and that confirmation could come very soon. As the study nears its conclusion, the double-blind portion of the trial will be lifted November 1. That's when Aran will learn when each patient received CBD oil and when each received a placebo. Data and clinical notes will then be reviewed, and study results could be released by early 2019.

Aran knows those results could dramatically change autism treatment in Israel. The Ministry of Health will use the clinical trial to determine whether autism will be added to its official Green Book, a document that details all of the legally-acceptable indications for medical cannabis in Israel. Aran says he has also been contacted by public health officials in other countries -- including the United States -- who are closely watching his study and eagerly awaiting the results.

Here in Nigeria, a number of families are now heaving a sigh of relief, having embraced CBD OIL for their autistic children. Thank God for this amazing oil.

Adi Aran knows why families are willing to drive hours to see him.
"I believe they come to me because nothing else is working," said the Israeli doctor.
"We are giving them hope. Yes, I think it's the hope."


The hope Aran is talking about comes in a 10 milliliter bottle. It is cannabis oil -- also known as CBD oil -- and Aran says it has a profound impact on many of his pediatric patients diagnosed with autism.
"Some of the families say to me it's changed their life totally," he told 13 Investigates. "And I've seen that. It changes their lives."

Aran, who oversees the neuropediatric unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, has spent years studying the effects of CBD oil on children who have autism.

"We said, 'OK, we can't go on like that anymore.' We had nothing to lose, so we tried something new," Aran explained. He got permission from Israel's Ministry of Health to provide CBD oil to some of his patients, and he quickly noticed dramatic results.
"Many of them, the kids were really calm. For the first time, they were calm. The parents can get out of the house with them, and before they couldn't," the doctor said. "I saw the kids before the treatment and after the treatment, and I was very happy to see what happened."

Aran carefully documented what he observed in the first 60 children he treated with CBD oil. Behavioral outbursts were "much improved" or "very much improved" in more than 60% of the patients. Their parents reported fewer disruptive behaviors, reduced anxiety and a decrease in communication problems while their kids were taking cannabis oil. And the treatment resulted in very few negative side effects compared to the antipsychotic medications commonly prescribed to children diagnosed with autism. The results, published earlier this year in the medical journal Neurology, attracted worldwide attention.

Inspired by his early success, the health ministry quickly granted permission for a large-scale medical trial that Aran launched in January 2017. Families living with the devastating effects of autism have been making their way to his Jerusalem office ever since, looking for hope and possible answers for their children.
Miracle for autism?
One of those children is Noam Heifetz from Tel Aviv.
The 8-year-old boy sang softly as he stepped off an elevator at the sprawling Shaare Zedek medical complex, tightly holding his mother's wrist with both hands. Noam's eyes moved quickly, scanning unfamiliar faces as he walked towards Aran's office. Once inside, he approached the doctor to examine his black wristwatch. He then walked to a window to look outside before lying down on the floor near Aran's desk.
Noam was diagnosed with autism at age two. His symptoms are severe. Noam does not speak and needs adult supervision during every waking moment.
"You have a son like that who is basically so helpless and totally dependent on you, and then the enormous tantrums, enormous anger periods, it is very difficult," explained Eyal Heifetz, Noam's father.
For years, Noam's autism has meant daily meltdowns that last for hours, with nonstop shouting and aggression. During the meltdowns, his parents say Noam tries to slam his head into walls and will attempt to shove objects into his ears. That all changed when he started taking CBD oil during Aran's medical trial.
"That ended completely and that was amazing," his father told WTHR. "We tried other medicines and it didn't affect him. It didn't stop [the autistic outbursts]. The cannabis [oil] stopped it and that, for us, was almost a miracle."
Aran shares the family's excitement, but he says not all children treated with CBD oil showed improvements, and he cautions against the idea that cannabis oil is a "miracle" for those with autism.
"I am getting desperate calls from parents every day, and I have to explain this is not a miracle treatment for autism. It's not a cure. The children remain autistic, but the quality of life is improved. Often it improved -- sometimes a lot," he said.
What is CBD oil
CBD or cannabidiol is extracted from the flowers and buds of hemp plants. Some studies have shown CBD can help reduce pain, inflammation, seizures, anxiety and other medical disorders, prompting calls for more scientific research. CBD oil does not produce intoxication because it contains very low levels of the chemical tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

How the study works
The 2-year study now taking place in Jerusalem includes 150 children and young adults who have mild to severe autism. They receive cannabis oil that consists of 20 parts CBD (a non-psychoactive element of the cannabis plant that has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties) and one part THC dissolved in olive oil. That amount of THC can heighten the impact of the CBD but is far too small to cause a "high," according to Aran.

“For the first time since he was very small, it was like he was free to be himself.”
Noam and other participants in the clinical trial took cannabis oil three times a day for 12 weeks during one phase of the study, followed by a 4-week washout period.

During a second 12-week phase, they received a placebo consisting of favored olive oil with no CBD. Because the study is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial meant to ensure scientific accuracy, families and Aran were not told whether each study participant received the CBD oil in phase one or in phase two.

For the Heifetz family, the two phases could not have been more different.
Speaking of the first phase of the trial -- when he believes his son received the cannabis oil -- Noam's father got tears in his eyes. "It was a whole different world for us. For the first time since he was very small, it was like he was free to be himself. He was calm and it's wonderful," he said.

During the second 12-week phase, Noam's more relaxed demeanor disappeared and his violent, autism-fueled tantrums returned. Once the second phase ended, the Heifetz family put Noam on a steady treatment of cannabis oil, and he quickly returned to a calm disposition with no daily outbursts or violent behavior.
"We did see a difference. A big difference," said Noam's mother, Esther.
"Life, it was quite impossible without the cannabis, and it is doable with the cannabis," her husband added.
"It works. Absolutely. No doubt. I'm certain about that."

The study could provide important confirmation for Noam and others who believe cannabis oil is effective in treating symptoms of autism, and that confirmation could come very soon. As the study nears its conclusion, the double-blind portion of the trial will be lifted November 1. That's when Aran will learn when each patient received CBD oil and when each received a placebo. Data and clinical notes will then be reviewed, and study results could be released by early 2019.

Aran knows those results could dramatically change autism treatment in Israel. The Ministry of Health will use the clinical trial to determine whether autism will be added to its official Green Book, a document that details all of the legally-acceptable indications for medical cannabis in Israel. Aran says he has also been contacted by public health officials in other countries -- including the United States -- who are closely watching his study and eagerly awaiting the results.

Here in Nigeria, a number of families are now heaving a sigh of relief, having embraced CBD OIL for their autistic children. Thank God for this amazing oil.

Adi Aran knows why families are willing to drive hours to see him.
"I believe they come to me because nothing else is working," said the Israeli doctor.
"We are giving them hope. Yes, I think it's the hope."


The hope Aran is talking about comes in a 10 milliliter bottle. It is cannabis oil -- also known as CBD oil -- and Aran says it has a profound impact on many of his pediatric patients diagnosed with autism.
"Some of the families say to me it's changed their life totally," he told 13 Investigates. "And I've seen that. It changes their lives."

Aran, who oversees the neuropediatric unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, has spent years studying the effects of CBD oil on children who have autism.

His latest study -- the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world -- will be complete within the next few weeks. While the research is taking place half way around the globe, the impact could eventually be felt by thousands of families dealing with autism in Indiana and across the United States.

13 Investigates traveled to Israel to learn more about the groundbreaking research and what it could mean for young patients.
Nothing to lose

“We said, 'OK, we can't go on like that anymore.' We had nothing to lose, so we tried something new.”
The idea of treating autism with cannabis oil was not Aran's idea; it came from his patients. The tall, gray-haired doctor admits his first response was skepticism.

"My initial reaction was, 'No.' There were no human studies or clinical studies .... and we didn't have any evidence that it will work," he said.
But Aran, who treats some of the most challenging cases of pediatric autism in the Middle East, eventually changed his mind. Desperate pleas from parents who lived in fear of their children's unpredictable, uncontrollable and often violent autistic outbursts convinced him to take a chance on an unproven therapy.

true

When I first learned about CBD oil, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical.
My mind immediately turned to weed and the unnerving experiences I'd had with heightened anxiety in college. For me, a person who's already predisposed to over thinking, ma riju ana, no matter what the form, would typically put my mind into overdrive and result in a common yet dreaded side effect: paranoia.

A bit of online digging led me to realize that the active ingredient in Charlotte's Web Everyday Plus He mp Oil, the product I'd been offered to test, was the chemical compound CBD, which stands for Cannabidiol. Unlike THC, the other crucial compound in he mp and ma rij uana plants, CBD does not produce the psychoactive effects that make you feel "high"; instead, it actually eases anxiety and makes you less likely to freak out.

One study comparing the effects of THC and CBD even found that, while THC increased anxiety by activating the neurotransmitters involved in the "fight or flight" response, CBD actually repressed autonomic arousal—or the nervous system response associated with sudden increases in heart rate or respiration. In other words, CBD is ideal for people looking to relax and unwind—not get out of their minds.

While the science behind CBD oil assuaged many of my concerns, Charlotte Figi's inspiring story was the kicker. Figi, a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with a rare and resistant form of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome, was actually placed on hospice care and given a "do not resuscitate" order when her parents, desperate and frustrated with pharmaceutical medication, considered medical ma rij uana. Charlotte is now 99% seizure-free since she began supplementing with Charlotte Web's CBD oil, which the brand named after Figi.

I was in awe of CBD's potent effects, especially when I learned that the oil could be used to treat everyday ailments like anxiety, chronic pain, migraines, nausea, and inflammation in addition to serious issues like epilepsy, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's.
With that, I threw caution to the wind and asked for a sample. Here's what happened when I took one full dropper of Charlotte's Web's Everyday Plus He mp Oil in the mint chocolate flavor every morning for seven days.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION
It was actually a bad bout of jet lag after a trip to California that inspired me to finally test out the CBD oil (I'll admit that my weed-based reservations kept me from trying it for the first few months). Knowing that the oil had also helped people with sleep issues, I squeezed one full dropper of the Everyday Plus oil onto my tongue, per the instructions, and waited.

Thirty minutes later, I was surprised by how subtle the effect was. While I expected a hazy nodding-off effect similar to melatonin's, the oil simply relaxed my body ever so slightly—my heart stopped pounding against my chest, my legs stopped kicking beneath my sheets, my mind stopped racing. I wasn't sure if it was the oil or the late hour, but eventually, physical relaxation gave way to mental relaxation, and I drifted off to sleep.

Reflecting the next morning, I was most surprised by the fact that I never felt "high" in any way—there was never a moment of It's kicking in; I can feel it now like with pain medications or even anti-anxiety drugs. Considering it takes time, consistency, and the right dosage to experience the full effect, I continued taking the oil once a day for the next six days. Here's what went down.
It made me less anxious and on edge.

While normally I'd be slightly tripped up by little things like an overly crowded subway car or a full inbox at work, the CBD oil seems to have taken the edge off of my anxiety a bit. Rather than overthinking a sternly worded email or analyzing a social interaction, I've found it easier to recognize the irrationality of these thoughts and actually let them go (instead of ruminating on the situation). In some ways, I feel more like myself. With that said, I've still experienced some social anxiety when meeting new groups of people—I'd be interested to see what taking the full recommended dose would do.

I'm more focused at work.
I work well under pressure, but being extremely busy at work has almost made me less productive—I'm constantly distracted by email, Slack, and the people around me, to the point where getting my work done becomes difficult. This week, however, I've found it easier to put my blinders on, block out all distractions (especially social distractions) and focus on one task at a time. I think this is partly related to the lessened anxiety—I feel more frazzled and off task when my anxiety is running high. It almost feels like a newfound sense of clarity and calm that enables me to focus.

I'm falling asleep faster.
I assume this is also a side effect of the eased anxiety, but I seem to fall asleep within the 20- to 30-minute range rather than my normal 45 minutes to one hour (or longer). Not only do I seem to be skipping (or at least shortening) the whole tossing-and-turning phase of my sleep cycle, but I'm able to snap out of the overthinking mindset that often keeps me up at night. Of course, there's no telling whether a big life event would kindly disrupt this newfound bliss, but I'd like to think it's helped on day-to-day basis.

THE VERDICT
Would I say that CBD oil has fundamentally changed my life? No. But per the Charlotte's Web website, this is the typical first experience. "Anyone who has ever started a new vitamin or supplement routine knows the short answer to how long it takes to kick in is—'it depends,'" reads the article on what to expect from he mp oil. "For many newcomers, they're not sure what to imagine, or some anticipate a huge change right away. For most of us, though, dietary supplements take time."

With that said, I'm definitely intrigued enough by the subtle effects to continue taking the oil and possibly even to up the dosage to the recommended two full droppers of the 30mL bottle per day for a week or so. Plus, I take comfort in knowing that it's an all-natural treatment for anxiety that's responsibly grown on family farms in Colorado. Something that's safe, legal, requires no prescription, and makes me less anxious, less scatterbrained, and more focused? I'm definitely on board.

Cannabinoid Solutions was closed New Year’s Eve because they had a run on CDB oil
during the holidays and couldn’t get more of their product.

“We were just selling it so quickly we couldn’t keep it in stock,”
store employee Lisa Wooton said when the store reopened Wednesday.

During the holidays, she said, many customers were buying cannabidiol, or CBD,
as Christmas presents and stocking stuffers.

“We went through a whole lot of oil,” she said.

“For me, it’s like Jesus in a bottle...”
Scott Lindsey, American Shaman owner
Scott Lindsey, who holds the American Shaman franchise on North Third Street, is also expanding his business.
His company has stores in Elizabethtown and Louisville as well as Bardstown, and he hopes to have six by March, including one in Mount Washington.

According to Statista, the online statistics portal, CBD oil sales increased from $108.1 million in 2014 to $262.2 million in 2016, and are expected to reach $813.2 million in the new year.

And CBD shops aren’t the only ones selling it. Pharmacies are getting in on the act, and even some gas stations, such as FiveStar, keep it behind the counter, along with cigarettes and lottery tickets.



And it’s expected that both sales and production will soar now that he mp is completely legal under the recently signed 2018 Farm Bill, which removed it from the list of Schedule I controlled substances. Kentucky farmers have been growing it since 2014 under state licenses and strict supervision,.

Hem p is actually the same plant as ma riju ana, but it’s often referred to as a “cousin,” because it’s grown differently, for the cannabidiol, or CBD, rather than for the psychoactive agent, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. H emp grown for its oil has less than .3 percent THC.

Lindsey said customers could drink every bottle of CBD oil in his store and it wouldn’t get them high.

He mp oil is sold for its therapeutic value. Many of those who take it say it helps them with ailments including arthritis pain, anxiety and depression, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, seizures, even Parkinson’s disease.

Lindsey is a believer. He’s a former bodybuilder who suffers from neck pain and sleep apnea,
but after he started taking CBD, he said, his pain lessened and he can sleep all night without waking.

“For me, it’s like Jesus in a bottle,” he joked.

During his first trip to Kansas City, where American Shaman is based, Lindsey said he met a woman who had migraines until she started taking CBD, and they just disappeared. He also met a teenager whose anxiety was so bad she didn’t want to leave the house, but after she started taking it, she was able to work as a waitress.

“We can’t diagnose, treat or cure anything. We can’t make any claims at all,” Lindsey said, at least not until the Food and Drug Administration does more research on it. But many of his customers return for more and tell him it works.

Davis said she’s also heard some remarkable testimonials from customers.

“It’s helped so many people,” she said.

Ben Mudd, a pharmacist at Medica, said his company also can’t make medical claims, but as a pharmacist, he recommends it based on patients’ experiences.

“We’ve seen a lot of patient success with pain, anxiety, depression” and other illnesses, he said. “We sell a ton of it.”

But he also urges caution.

“It’s not addictive. It’s not habit forming. It has very few side effects,” he said. Overall, he said, it’s a “safe supplement.” But, he added, there is a potential for interaction with some drugs, including statins for controlling cholesterol and some chemotherapy drugs for cancer patients.

“We want to make sure that if people are using supplements, they check with their pharmacist or doctor before they start it because there are drug interactions that we’re sometimes worried about with some of our patients,” he said.

Lindsey also said he and his associates tell customers to consult their doctors before taking CBD if they have concerns.


Mudd said the FDA has already approved a high-dosage CBD product, Epidiolex, as a prescription drug for epileptic seizures, but has taken a wait-and-see approach to low-dose CBD since the Farm Bill made he mp oil legal. If the agency doesn’t regulate it as a nutritional supplement, consumers who are already used to buying it over the counter will “throw a fit,” he said.

“It’s going to be an interesting year,” he said.

Fonio, quinoa – what’s next?!

Quinoa, unknown to many just five years ago, is a grain many American families now consider a weekly staple. But the cost of our food fads can impact the very farmers that bring us those crops. Spikes in demand run up prices for grains like quinoa and corn and the result is that farmers can’t afford to buy their own crops to feed their families. (frowning)

And then along comes fonio: “The most nutritious grain you’ve never heard of“.

Not only is that phrase true, it’s the name of a short documentary by GLP films and National Geographic (which you can watch below). They dive into the story of an unknown grain from West Africa that is one of the healthiest, easiest to grow and drought-resistant crops out there.

As it turns out, I ate fonio (pronounced phone-yo), unknowingly when I visited West Africa in 2003. I didn’t know what grain I was eating, but it was a staple at every single meal.

Fonio is amazing because it’s:

Drought-resistant, making it easier to grow in climates facing increased water scarcity
Incredible healthy, having properties to help combat diabetes and obesity
Gluten-free
Rich in minerals like magnesium, zinc and manganese
Doesn’t require the use of pesticides or fertilizers (!!)
High in amino acids
Been around for over 5,000 years (that’s how long yoga has been around to give you some perspective)
Aids in fighting malnutrition of women and children
Low on the glycemic index
More resilient than modern day crops
Prepping fonio is labor intensive and creates jobs in West Africa
And… it grows in poor soil
fonio_the_new_quinoa
Fonio farming family in northern Mali
In Mali mythology fonio is called “the seed of the universe” and after learning about it, I’d have to agree.

The documentary “The most nutritious grain you’ve never heard of” interviews Dr. Salimata Wade, Professor of Physiology and Human Nutrition at University of Dakar. She states that fonio is a key to help combat world hunger, the crop can be planted and grown several times in one year and it’s organic in production which is “what people want these days”.

How do you buy fair trade fonio?

Thanks to the team at GLP films, they pointed to the only fair trade fonio company called Ethiquitable where farmers are getting paid well for their hard work.

The good news is you can buy fonio in most African marketplaces and some speciality shops.

How do you prepare fonio?

Fonio is a type of millet and according to the Guardian it’s,

a cross between couscous and quinoa, in both appearance and texture” with a nutty flavor.

To cook fonio [/b]you simply put 1 part fonio to 3 parts water. I would use a rice cooker like I do for all my grains, but if you make it on the stovetop, bring it to a boil, then let simmer until fluffy and soft. For a fancier spin you can try the Seasame Fonio recipe from Splendid Table.

[b]I predict fonio will become the next best thing, and it’s my hope that the popularization of this grain will help West African farmers, combat global malnutrition and disease and will spark a movement to discover more “orphan crops” that can help us feed our growing population.


A kilogram of fonio goes for #1500.
