Military Service Members Will Now Be Allowed to Use CBD

Military Service Members Will Now Be Allowed to Use CBD

On Monday the House of Representatives approved an amendment that will allow military service members to use products containing hemp and its derivatives, including CBD.

The measure states that the”Secretary of Defense may not prohibit, on the basis of a product containing hemp or any ingredient derived from hemp, the possession, use, or consumption of such product by a member of the Armed Forces” as long as the crop follows the federal guidelines of hemp and that “such possession, use, or consumption is in line with applicable Federal, State, and local law.”


According to Marijuana Moment, the measure passed by a vote of 336-71 along with dozens of other non-cannabis amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).  The bill includes a measure that will allow heads of military branches to issue reenlistment waivers for those who use marijuana or were convicted of one marijuana misdemeanor offense.

Last year, military veteran Tulsi Gabbard filled a bill to modernize the hemp industry called the “Hemp for Victory Act.”  This act mandates studies into the use of hemp food products for school lunches and the therapeutic value of hemp’s extracts for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  This bill could also address recent CBD policy conflict, various military branches releasing statements that do not allow service members to use products containing non-intoxicating cannabis.

What Is Acapulco Gold Cannabis?

Acapulco Gold is a legendary sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originated in Mexico's Guerrero region during the 1960s. Known for its distinctive golden-colored buds and potent cerebral effects, this landrace strain has maintained its reputation as one of the most sought-after varieties among cannabis connoisseurs.

The strain typically contains 18-25% THC with minimal CBD (under 2%), making it primarily psychoactive rather than therapeutic in the traditional CBD sense.

Different Strains of Weed: How Many Are There?

Sour Diesel. Purple Kush. Amnesia Haze. If you’re a fan of cannabis, you’ve probably noticed that there are many different types to choose from, and most of them have funny names. And yes—they are all different. But, what makes them different, exactly? And how many marijuana strains are there, really? Well, let’s find out. 

What Are Cannabis Strains?

In popular culture, different cannabis cultivars are referred to as “strains.” Each individual strain is a cannabis variety that has been bred for its specific characteristics by a cannabis breeder. So, Granddaddy Purple is a strain. Harlequin is another strain. The former is a sleepy strain that produces a high percentage of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The latter is a mellow flower that produces both THC and cannabidiol (CBD). The plants both have different lineages and different characteristics. Hence, they are different strains. 

But, the word “strain” comes with a fair share of controversy. From a scientific perspective, referring to cannabis varieties as “strains” makes very little sense. And yet, “strain” is the word that remains in popular culture. The difference is mainly semantic—in the world of botany, different plant varieties are called cultivars, not strains. The word “strains” is usually reserved for bacteria and viruses, not plants.
