News UFC joins Cannabis business

-Dim- said:
no he doesnt. it doesnt contain THC

even when it comes to THC Jeff has been pushing a lot of the commissions hard to adopt wada standards (150-180ng/ml) for cannabis instead of stupid low limits (like Texas). Hes been very critical of commissions like Texas to be fair.

Sold my 500 shares of ACB last September just before legalization here in Canada. Made some good gains considering I bought in when it was a $2.00 stock and sold in the mid teens.

That's really wonderful
 
Not suprised the UFC will be involved.

FYI - as many already know, weed is only banned 'in competition', so fighters can blaze away without consequence otherwise (if it clears their system in time, of course), and CBD is not a banned substance at all (but finding sufficiently pure CBD (Cannabidiol) sources that do not contain sufficient traces of other cannabinoids can be very challenging)

The following applies only to IN COMPETITION period:

"S8. Cannabinoids
The following cannabinoids are prohibited:
  • Natural cannabinoids, e.g. cannabis, hashish and marijuana
  • Synthetic cannabinoids, e.g. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabimimetics
Except:
Cannabidiol.

What you should know:
  • Please read the detailed educational articles on THC and marijuana.
  • Cannabidiol is not prohibited. However, cannabidiol extracted from cannabis plants may contain varying concentrations of THC and other cannabinoids, all of which are still prohibited. Please read our educational article on CBD.
  • An athlete should be aware that THC may be retained in fat tissue following frequent, repeated use and may be detected weeks after use. Also, significant weight loss over a short-period of time has caused THC metabolites stored in fat to be released in detectable levels, even if not used recently. USADA strongly advises athletes not to consume cannabinoids at any time.
  • An athlete who chooses to consume hemp products may be at risk for a positive anti-doping test, even though many of these products claim not to contain THC.
While the use of medical marijuana may be decriminalized in some states, it is still illegal under federal law. USADA will consider a TUE application for medical marijuana, but only for certain conditions as per the WADA TUE Physician Guidelines for Neuropathic Pain and ISTUE criteria. "

none of this has ANYTHING to do with cannabinoids. NOTHING..

This is purely a deal to research the NON-PROHIBITED cannabidoil and to work with the athletes on recommending cbd products and developing cbd products. .

Nothing whatsoever to do with weed, NOTHING, and nothing to do with medical marajuana

They are working with them to conduct studies and research on CBD use for injury recovery etc etc

Which is still sketchy because depending on how CBD is extracted there can be trace amounts of THC. Probably not enough to fail USADA but who knows USADA is so inconsistent.

USADA is not inconsistent at all when it comes to THC

the threshold is 150ng/ml but you dont get charged with a violation until you reach 180ng/ml. Thats not a point that has any leaway or room for inconsistency. its a set threshold.

it is simply impossible to hit 180ng/ml through CBD use.

Even for heavy cannabis users most excretion studies show that you drop below 180ng/ml urinary levels within 3-4 days of cessation.



Should also note the studies the PI are doing are going to be using Hemp derived CBD oil which should not have thc in it
 
More details.

It is ONLY involving hemp derived CBD (so no THC)

Its initially only creams and lotions (external use only)

And the deal only actually starts once the PI have run a voluntary study on fighters to determine that it actually works and is beneficial



Stage 1: Finding out from athletes what products they use and need

Stage 2: Aurora will develop a specific product (non oral) for the UFC for their athletes to use

Stage 3: Athletes will then use the product as part of a full scientific study by the PI

Stage 4: If the product works then there will be further development and rollout of other products


and its not even cannabis derived CBD

Didn't Nate Diaz get a reprimand for a CBD pen?
Click to expand...

at the time (2017) cbd was still technically prohibited in that it was classed as a cannabinoid (but it was still a threshold substance so there was no danger of Nate popping)

USADA basically didnt care about CBD, the only reason they did anything was because Ariel stirred the shit in the press conference. A warning is the lowest action they can take.

This thread is gonna be a great marker for which moron sherdoggers dont know the difference between

1) Cannabis - which contains THC - which IS prohibited

and

2) Cannabidoil (CBD) which is what the UFC PI are going to be researching and working on - which is NOT Prohibited
Click to expand...

you're wrong on almost everything about this

cannabis is the genus, there are species of plants that fall under the genus including sativa/indica
hemp is a cannabis plant with very low THC
THC is not prohibited out of competition

CBD occurs in all cannabis plants

there ya go, ya virgin weed poser straight from a stoned ape
SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY
 
The real question is will the fighters at least get a discount as CBD oil goes for $350 per fl. oz. and higher.
