House of Jane, a cannabis-infused beverage company which added THC to caffeinated coffees and teas, now includes hemp derived CBD-infused energy supplements. So marijuana is now in the energy supplement cannabidiol (CBD) market with a time-released B-12 caffeinated energy shot. Cannabidiol is a component of the most common phyto-cannabinoids found in the cannabis-sativa hemp plant.
Supplements. And caffeine. And THC. Welcome to America 2016.
The products are all-vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, low-glycemic, fast-acting and help promote a feeling of overall wellbeing in minutes," says Ben Sheppard, CEO of House of Jane, perhaps hoping that will get a Dr. Oz producer on the phone. Because the products contain less than .03% THC, they are currently legal to ship anywhere in the United States and in many other countries. That won't prevent them from hinting with a name like House of Jane that they are a marijuana product. Claims like that CBD interacts with specific receptors that help regulate everything from energy and relaxation to eating, sleeping, inflammation and even cognitive function are only allowed because the Clinton administration signed a law in 1994 exempting the supplements market from true FDA oversight, and so they are allowed to make any crazy claim, as long as they note their product hasn't actually been shown to do anything they allege.
