Brain Tumor & Cannabinoid Therapy Research

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date May 11, 2021

“Go gray in May” represents bringing awareness to the brain tumors that affect nearly 700,000 individuals in the United States today. If you are affected by a brain tumor or know someone who is, we have resources to support and help you to increase your quality of life.

In this blog, for Brain Tumor Awareness Month, we aim to answer your questions about brain tumors and cannabinoid therapy research. For those new to this plant-based therapy, just know that you are not alone. Realm of Caring is here to navigate this difficult journey with you.

Terms to know:

Endocannabinoid System (ECS): Largest neurotransmitter system in the body, composed of endogenous cannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors, and metabolizing enzymes. It helps the body to maintain biological harmony across all major body systems.

Endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids): Cannabinoids produced naturally within the body that bind to or modulate receptors present all throughout the body. Examples include anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG).

Phytocannabinoids: Cannabinoids found in cannabis plants such as Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD).

How they may help:

Tumor angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that are needed to increase tumor size. Therefore, antiangiogenic properties are correlated with suppressing tumors or halting their growth. The antiangiogenic activity of cannabinoids has been well-researched. The anti-tumor effects of THC, CBD, endocannabinoids AEA and 2-AG, and synthetic cannabinoids have been clinically studied for decades now. Recently, more phytocannabinoids are being researched for like-benefits. The ability of these cannabinoids to modulate cell survival and death, as it relates to tumor and cancer growth, has been considered as “significant from a drug development perspective”.

There is a large body of data with solid scientific evidence that points to the role of the ECS in tumor generation and progression. The introduction of cannabinoids to the ECS has resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth as well as suppression of malignant cell growth and cancer cell death. The combination has shown promising efficacy against glioma among other tumor and cancer types.

The cannabinoids that have been used to study these effects also show the ability to decrease negative side effects of conventional cancer therapies as well as having an acceptable safety profile. It is believed that cannabinoids are safe to take in conjunction with traditional cancer therapies. Talking with a doctor is always suggested, but research does suggest that cannabinoids may actually increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Current strategies to combat cancer utilize combined therapies, to target cancer cells and tumor growth. The idea is that cannabinoids with other anticancer agents work together to slow down or cease the progression. One combined approach includes a 1:1 ratio of CBD:THC. Administering the two together may potentiate each other’s ability. Anecdotally, many cancers respond to this ratio well although the exact milligram needed to be an antiangiogenic or cause apoptosis is unknown and can vary depending on the cancer type and stage.

Realm of Caring has Cancer Dosing Guidelines to help you get started in this process. There is a lot to consider when starting cannabinoid therapy but, as always, a Realm of Caring care specialist is here to help with your questions.

Spring Cleaning: How to donate or dispose of unused medication

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date April 27, 2021

For many clients, being on cannabinoid therapy means living a life of quality with fewer pharmaceuticals. Over time, Realm of Caring has helped thousands of individuals to find their therapeutic range with plant-based therapies. This, in turn, has helped individuals to work with their doctors to lessen or remove their daily medications.

If you are one of these individuals, then you may be wondering: how can I either donate or properly dispose of my unused or expired medications? We have gathered up a list of resources to hopefully help you out with this.

Drop off or Donate Medications

American Medicine Chest helps you by finding the closest drop off location to you. Just simply fill out this form and drop off your unused medications at a secure drop box.

Sirum is a non-profit organization who you can ship your unused medications to and they will then donate to those in need. Shipping is $10, but it is a great way to make an impact for someone who cannot afford medication.

If you are wishing to drop off a controlled substance that donation facilities typically do not accept, you can find a controlled substance public disposal location by visiting the Diversion Control Division website.

The National Conference of State Legislatures has listed drug return, reuse and recycling laws for 38 states + Guam so you can become aware of how your state handles prescription drop offs.

Disposing of Medications

Medication that is sent down a drain has the potential to pollute our environment. Medication that is thrown away may reach the soil in landfill or be ingested by wildlife that feeds on landfill items. For the purpose of protecting our environment and our health, there are specific ways to responsibly dispose of unused or expired medications.

If a medication drop-off location is not convenient for you, you can mix the left over medication with an unappealing substance such as kitty litter, dirt or coffee grounds. Placing the leftover medication in a new container will also help to make it unrecognizable for someone who is searching for pharmaceuticals that may end up harming them. Make sure whatever new container you place it in can be closed tightly, such as a coffee can.

Before recycling or tossing your prescription packaging, make sure all of your personal information is crossed off for your own protection.

Diversity Month: Creating Opportunity and Inclusion in the Cannabis Industry

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date April 9, 2021

April is Diversity month, a month to recognize the rich and unique cultures and backgrounds that make up our society. It is also a time to draw attention to the need to create opportunity and inclusion for all people. This is especially important when it comes to the cannabis industry. The ball is rolling for legalized cannabis in the United States, however the majority of those who are benefitting are not those who have suffered the greatest impacts of cannabis criminalization.

The War on Drugs notoriously and negatively affected minority populations. Last year, the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act was introduced to federally legalize marijuana and implement social justice reform programs to those communities most affected by cannabis prohibition. This year, in 2021, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR) have placed cannabis policy change at the federal level as a top priority. Senator Booker announced on Twitter on March 22nd that “Legalizing marijuana is necessary to right the wrongs of our failed drug war and end decades of harm inflicted on communities of color. But that alone is not enough – we must also expunge records and lift up people who were unfairly targeted in the drug war.”

Published research has assessed five areas of social justice related to cannabis prohibition as:

Expungement of previous arrests and convictions for cannabis crimes that are no longer illegal.

Consequences of cannabis-related offenses in a cannabis-legal environment.

Diversity of the cannabis legal industry.

Funding of equity and/or restorative justice programs for those communities most affected by cannabis prohibition.

Risks of cannabis legalization negatively impacting the populations that most suffered under the legacy of cannabis prohibition.

During this diversity month, there are minority-owned cannabis businesses you can look to promote and support. As well, there are organizations that are working to improve cannabis industry inclusion and repair the harm that the war on drugs has had on communities. To fulfill a goal of Realm of Caring (RoC) to educate the community, here are some resources available to you to learn more about some of these organizations and current plans for cannabis legislation.

Last Prisoner Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cannabis justice reform and believe that those who are able to profit from the legal cannabis industry have a responsibility to help release and rebuild the lives of those who have suffered from cannabis criminalization. Watch RoC’s interview with Managing Director, Mary Bailey here.

Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP) is a nonprofit with a mission to unite and mobilize the voice of law enforcement in support of drug policy and criminal justice reforms that will make communities safer by focusing law enforcement resources on the greatest threats to public safety, promoting alternatives to arrest and incarceration, addressing the root causes of crime, and working toward healing police-community relations. LEAP is a sponsor of the MORE Act. Watch RoC’s interview with Lt. Nick Bucci about the MORE Act here.

Asian Americans face unique issues relating to cannabis use and acceptance due to differences in history, culture, and social stigmas. Asian Americans for Cannabis Education (AACE) connects and empowers Asian communities to educate the public on cannabis issues, news, and policy affecting Asians worldwide. Learn more here.

Females to the Front is a national and international platform working to support women in the cannabis industry. Their goal is to ensure that the cannabis industry has gender parity and female founders have the tools in their toolbox they need to grow and raise. Learn more here.

Realm of Caring Foundation (RoC), is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that was established by parents in 2013 to support families who were out of medical options. By creating educational resources, conducting research, and assisting families with data-rich answers to their questions, RoC continues to be a leader in the cannabinoid (cannabis/hemp) field. RoC’s no-cost Care Team has served more than 100,000 clients worldwide and supports a network of over 2,000 medical professionals. To learn more about participating or to donate to this cause, visit www.realmofcaring.org or call (719) 347-5400.

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date April 8, 2021

Colorado Governor Jared Polis and the Colorado General Assembly declared April 7th to be forever known as Charlotte Figi Day in 2020. This April 7th, 2021, Coloradans remembered Charlotte, who passed just a year ago at the young age of 13.

Colorado Legislators took pause on Legislative Day 054 in both the House and the Senate to pay tribute to Charlotte and her family and what she accomplished in her short life for millions across the globe.

Representative Hooton and Representative Ransom celebrated the perseverance it took to get legislation passed to allow cannabis use for chronic and debilitating conditions.

Senator Gonzalez and Senate Minority Leader Holbert recognized Charlotte in that she “impacted millions of lives in Colorado and across the globe as a cannabis pioneer patient”, noting that “Charlotte was the inspiration for Realm of Caring, a nonprofit established to guide families through their healing journey with cannabis-based medicine.”

Eight Years in the Making: Realm of Caring’s Impact Over Time

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date April 7, 2021

Founded in 2013, Realm of Caring (RoC) is an independent 501c3 non-profit organization who serves anyone in need of more information about cannabinoid therapies. Through revolutionary research, innovative education, and life-changing grants, RoC seeks to facilitate and encourage the mainstream acceptance of transformative, plant powered therapies to benefit individuals and families and serve healthcare providers as well as the hemp and cannabis industries. Since becoming a formal non-profit in 2013, RoC has cherished a vision that has remained unchanged: the belief that the quality of life matters.

The impact of RoC knows no bounds. Individuals have been helped globally, in these last 8 years, to find that quality of life through research, education, increasing access to, and one on one support with cannabinoid therapy.

The Observational Research Registry (ORR) with Johns Hopkins University (JHU) has included 4,000 participants over time, providing 5 million data points. These significant findings have paved the way for clinical trials, helped companies to determine how their products are helping people, and informed millions on the benefits of cannabinoid therapy. The first paper based on this research was published in 2020 finding that 77% of users attributed positive effects to the medicinal use of cannabinoids.

The data accumulated over the past eight years has informed quality education. This education has been delivered through many mediums by Realm of Caring to help medical professionals assist their patients, dispensaries responsibly serve their customers, legislation pass at state and federal levels, and consumers make informed decisions about their health.

Realm of Caring has played an important role in helping to increase access of cannabinoid products to customers. One way they are able to do this is through providing grants and products to those who cannot afford the high cost of cannabinoid therapy. Realm of Caring has given away almost $3 million to clients in need since the Realm Cares program’s inception in April, 2015; a number that will hopefully continue to grow over time.

Along with providing financial support, Realm of Caring offers the best resource to those who are looking for success with their cannabinoid therapy – time. Over 350,000 inquiries have poured into the call center and we now have more than 67,000 clients. Over 2 million minutes have been spent on the phones with individuals worldwide, looking for support and resources. This is a service that has been and will hopefully remain available for free. The support services offered to clients include administration suggestions based on published data, pulling information based on peer-reviewed research, and taking the time so each individual may find success. Oh, and let’s not forget that RoC has aided 22 states in passing cannabis legislation!

What Realm of Caring has accomplished so far, could not have been possible without the loyalty and dedication of their donor base. The generosity over the years has contributed more than $10.1 million in contributions and in-kind gifts. Overhead costs are able to remain low with a small but mighty team. An average 82% of the funds contributed go directly to programs and services since inception. This ensures that the majority of the money collected goes straight to collecting and improving research, furthering education, and giving back to the community in financial need.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

RoC has a handful of initiatives that they know will have a monumental impact on their clients and the cannabis and hemp industries.

Huge data initiative to make sense of and make available the 5 million+ data points and share findings with the community and industry. RoC’s demographics have changed significantly and they believe they are sitting on predictive data that can help determine future trends. The only way to find out is to dig deep. RoC has hired a team of data scientists and engineers to help, and are happy to report that they are 6 months into the most ambitious effort they have ever undertaken. They are interacting with the data on dashboards and have gotten a glimpse at the powerful insights, but this endeavor needs significant investment.

Increasing participation and retention in the second version of the JHU registry that is a better user experience and a shorter, more impactful survey is a goal of RoC in the future. They also need more cannabis and hemp brands participating in this research allowing for more health outcomes and insights on their products. RoC recently brought on a new Research Director to lead this charge.

Roc wants to reactivate and remove the waitlist for the Realm Cares grant program. People are in need more now than ever before. RoC also needs to recruit more brand giveaways like the campaigns they have run with Aspen Green, Charlotte’s Web, and Stratos. Stratos is the perfect case study; they increased their market share of the registry data over 39% after initiating this program that also gives them a tax break* and a place to give aging inventory. Win, Win, Win.

The industry needs a meaningful and data driven education platform that encompasses the wealth of practical knowledge and data that RoC has collected over the past 8 years. RoC aims to expand services in this area. The goal is to make a learning program so informative, engaging and user friendly that individuals will seek their services above all others.

If you are feeling inspired and wish to contribute to RoC’s initiatives, fill out this form and a RoC team member will get back to you!

Getting to Know Delta-8-THC

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date February 23, 2021

Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8-THC) is a cannabinoid that is growing in popularity due to its accessibility in the hemp industry. It is less psychotropic and chemically more stable than its isomer Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC), while still having its own researched benefits.

Delta-8-THC and Delta-9-THC are practically identical. They have the same molecular formula of C21H30O2; which also happens to be the same molecular formula as cannabinoids cannabichromene (CBC) and cannabidiol (CBD), and the hormone progesterone. Their metabolisms follow the same pathways and they have been researched for their like-benefits, as they both have an affinity for CB1 receptors in the brain. For example, both delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC have been studied for their benefits as antiglaucoma agents and for their ability to reduce tumor growth in rodent models. While their chemical behavior is very similar in most cases, there are a few chemical differences that set delta-8-THC and delta-9-THC apart.

First, delta-8-THC is less psychoactive than delta-9-THC, resulting in individuals being able to tolerate higher amounts per administration. In one study, children with hematologic cancers were able to take considerably higher doses of delta-8-THC than delta-9-THC to prevent vomiting due to antineoplastic treatment. They were administered 480 treatments of delta-8-THC and all participants reported feeling relief. This shows promise for delta-8-THC as an effective, yet inexpensive, option to relieve pediatric cancer patients of their nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, with negligible side effects.

Another difference between the two are their chemical stability and how they are extracted. Delta-9-THC will readily oxidize to cannabinol (CBN) with oxygen, light, or natural aging. Delta-8-THC, on the other hand, is a stable molecule with a long shelf life. Although stable, extracting delta-8-THC is not quite as simple. Delta-8-THC grows in very small amounts in cannabis, however it may be able to be derived from hemp or from CBD; which also makes it technically legal in several states. Many delta-8-THC products are created synthetically by converting CBD into delta-8-THC through a process Dr. Raphael Mechoulam patented, called isomerization.

A few other differences to mention are some advantages that delta-8-THC may have. A study published in 2004 tested small amounts of delta-8-THC in mouse models for its effect on cognitive function and food consumption. Over the course of the study, delta-8-THC showed a tendency to improve cognitive function without the psychoactive effects that are typically associated with cannabis. Food intake increased with a similar performance to delta-9-THC but at a significantly higher rate, showing delta-8-THC as having therapeutic potential for weight disorders.

A question you may be curious about is: will delta-8-THC show up on a drug test that is looking for delta-9-THC? And the answer is, most likely. After cannabinoids are metabolized they are excreted for days. As THC molecules break down in the body, they become smaller molecules known as THC metabolites. The major, excreted glucuronic metabolite through the urine is THC-COOH glucuronide. The urine tests are not looking for the specific THC isomer that goes in the body, they are instead looking for the THC-COOH metabolites that come out.

As with many cannabinoids, much research still needs to be completed and considered on delta-8-THC before we can fully understand its full potential. What we do know is that there is a lot of promise as a less psychotropic alternative to delta-9-THC.

5 Reasons Why Cannabinoid Therapy Might Not Be Working For You

Post author By Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Post date April 6, 2020

Many people often give up on cannabinoid therapy because they are not seeing the results they are looking for. We see it a lot, people who try a product for a week and then decide it is not for them because they find no relief. So they stop taking CBD but continue to suffer from symptoms. We want you to be able to find success with your product(s), so we thought it might be helpful to discuss the five most common reasons why your cannabinoid therapy might not be working for you.

#1: Poor Quality of Product

A very common problem is that many CBD products are not regulated. You may actually find yourself with a product that contains little to no CBD. This has been shown on Washington Post, CBS News, NBC News, and more.

You will want to confirm the quality and consistency of a product before buying. To do this, the company should be able to provide you with a certificate of analysis or a batch report from a third party lab for the specific product you have bought or intend to buy. This testing is done to verify that what the label says is what you have in your bottle. It is also done to show that the product has been cleared for molds and pesticides. Cannabis is safe, research proves that. What is not safe is inconsistency, misleading labels, and lack of testing.

#2: Your Dose May be Off

Have you been taking your product for some time and have yet to find relief? Maybe you are taking a dropper-full of a tincture here and there. Maybe you tried a capsule and “didn’t feel anything”. CBD works through the accumulation of the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Through consistent, twice a day dosing, we may be able to replenish our ECS with the cannabinoids it needs to bring our bodies to homeostasis. For most, this means it will take a few increases over the course of some weeks or months to find a true “therapeutic dose”. Every individual is different so what dose works for one may not be enough (or might be too much!) for another.

One other thing to keep in mind is that the CBD molecule is bi-phasic. Imagine a bell curve. Where you want to be is at the peak of said bell curve. This is where you are finding relief from your symptoms. Too little CBD may have no effect, so it may be a bit of a climb to get to that peak. On the flip side, too much CBD may tip you over to the other side. If this happens, from an oversaturation of cannabinoids, you may see exaggerated or new symptoms.

In short, this reason for cannabinoid therapy not working can be summed up by the Goldilocks principle. You do not want to have a dose that is too low or too high, you need to find your individual dose that happens to be just right.

#3: Expectations

It is hard to know what to expect of cannabinoid therapy, especially when it seems so many are claiming it to be a “cure-all”. The truth is, it may take time to find relief. When someone is experiencing chronic pain or in need of seizure control, that is not necessarily something that they want to hear. However, for cannabinoid therapy to be able to consistently show day to day relief, it first needs to accumulate in the ECS. If, after giving some time, no relief is felt then it is possible you may need an increase as was mentioned in the last point. All in all, we do not want you to expect too much upfront. Just as with any lifestyle change, progress takes time. It could take days, weeks, or months before that difference is realized.

#4 Interactions

Another thing to be mindful of when starting out with CBD therapy is the other medications that you may be taking. Joanne Doyle Petorongolo, a pharmacist at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital states “as the number of medications increases, the potential for drug interactions goes up, and there’s an increased potential for side effects”. CBD is not advised for everyone depending on the medication being taken, the amount of medications being taken, or the treatment one is going through.

The first possible step to avoiding potential interactions is to space the administration of CBD and pharmaceuticals away from each other. You can also check what those potential interactions may look like with your doctor, a pharmacist, or an online drug interaction checker.

#5 Method of Delivery

We are sure you know by now, there are so many types of CBD products out there. From tinctures to capsules to edibles to topicals to vaping and everything in between. The percentage of CBD that is absorbed by the bloodstream, also known as bioavailability, will change depending on which method you are using. A tincture that is taken under the tongue, therefore can be absorbed mostly in the mouth, may have increased bioavailability. A product that needs to be broken down by the digestive system may have decreased bioavailability. That is not to say that edibles, capsules, and other methods that need to pass through the digestive system are not effective. For some, this can be the method that works best. It all depends on you, the individual. So if you are finding that one way “does not work” or simply is not a regimen that works for you, there are plenty of other options to try before ruling CBD out.
