[center]Coca-Cola 'in talks' over cannabis-infused
drinks[/center]
September 17, 2018
Coca-Cola is best known for its eponymous caffeine-based drink,
but the firm now appears to be experimenting with a different
drug: cannabis.
According to Canada's BNN Bloomberg, the drinks giant is in
talks with local producer Aurora Cannabis about developing
marijuana-infused beverages.
These would not aim to intoxicate consumers but to relieve pain.
The firm declined to comment but said it was watching the
cannabis drinks market closely.
"Along with many others in the beverage industry, we are closely
watching the growth of non-psychoactive cannabidiol as an
ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world,"
Coca-Cola said in a statement.

Cannabidiol, a constituent of cannabis, can help ease
inflammation, pain and cramping, but has no psychoactive effect.
It comes as Canada prepares to follow certain US states in
legalising cannabis for recreational use, after years of
permitting it for medicinal purposes.
It has given rise to a large pot growing industry and some
high-profile partnerships.
Earlier this year, beer giant Molson Coors Brewing said it would
make cannabis-infused drinks with Hydropothecary, while
Corona-beer maker Constellation Brands invested $4bn more into
pot firm Canopy Growth.
A partnership between Coke and Aurora would mark the first entry
of a major manufacturer of non-alcoholic drinks into the market.

Quoting unnamed sources, BNN Bloomberg said Coca-Cola was in
"serious talks" with Aurora but no deal had been finalised.
"They're pretty advanced down the path" of doing a deal, one
source was quoted as saying.
"It's going to be more of the 'recovery drink' category," the
source added.
Aurora, in a separate statement, said it would not discuss
business development initiatives until they were finalised, but
added: "Aurora has expressed specific interest in the infused
beverage space, and we intend to enter that market."
Coca-Cola's shares rose marginally in early trade on Monday.

Jo Cameron, a 71-year-old Scottish woman, has lived all her life
without the sensation of physical pain. Although what you might
think at first glance, living without feeling pain comes with
its own challenges and problems. For instance, the woman has
suffered numerous burns and cuts, which often inflicted more
damage than they should have. Sometimes, Cameron would realize
her skin was burning only after she smelled fumes coming out of
her flesh. But luckily Cameron possesses another superman trait:
she heals quickly and often with very little or no scarring at
all. In a new study, scientists have found that these traits are
due to a newly identified genetic mutation — one that could pave
the way for new treatments.
‘X-woman’
Cameron’s extraordinary abilities first came to doctors’
attention when, only a few years ago, she sought treatment for a
hip injury. Her hip proved to have severe arthritis and required
replacing. Immediately doctors knew something was off since
Cameron’s disease should have caused her immense discomfort,
which wasn’t the case. After two painless surgeries, doctors
decided they should investigate more closely this unique
patient.
“We had banter before theatre when I guaranteed I wouldn’t need
painkillers,” the woman told BBC News, recounting the moment her
doctors couldn’t believe she wouldn’t need painkillers after her
surgery.
“When he found I hadn’t had any, he checked my medical history
and found I had never asked for painkillers.”
Doctors at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, ran some tests on her
finding that the woman had almost no pain response. She could
even eat Scotch bonnet chillis, which are famous for being
extremely hot, without so much as flinching.
Cameron was then referred to experts in pain genetics at the
University College London and the University of Oxford who
identified two mutations that may be linked to her pain
sensitivity and healing ability. One is a mutation that affects
a gene called FAAH (Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase), which plays a
major role in regulating the body’s endocannabinoid system — a
family of endogenous ligands, receptors, and enzymes that are
important in pain, memory, and mood. The endocannabinoid system
is also the target of compounds in cannabis which provoke a
‘high’ or ‘buzz’ once they are ingested.
The second mutation targets a gene which previously had no
apparent useful purpose. The new research, however, shows that
this mutation switches the FAAH gene on or off. In the case of
Cameron, the gene’s activity is switched off, the authors
reported in the British Journal of Anaesthesia.
These mutations may explain why Cameron doesn’t feel physical
pain or heals so quickly. What’s more, there may also be some
psychological effects. For instance, Cameron scored zero on
clinical tests for anxiety and depression. She says she never
panics or loses her cool — not even when she was in a recent car
accident.
But despite her rare condition, Cameron says that she would have
preferred to feel pain.
“Pain is there for a reason, it warns you – you hear alarm
bells.” [img

“It would be nice to have warning when something’s wrong – I
didn’t know my hip was gone until it was really gone, I
physically couldn’t walk with my arthritis.” :(
Scientists hope to translate the findings into novel drugs that
annihilate the pain response. Right now, half of the patients
recovering from surgery still experience pain despite taking
strong painkillers. In the future, researchers hope to study
other people with the same kind of mutations. In 2013, ZME
Science wrote about a similar case — that of Ashlyn Blocker, a
normal looking American teenager from a small town called
Patterson, GA.
“People with rare insensitivity to pain can be valuable to
medical research as we learn how their genetic mutations impact
how they experience pain, so we would encourage anyone who does
not experience pain to come forward,” Dr. James Cox, of UCL,
told the BBC.
“We hope that with time, our findings might contribute to
clinical research for post-operative pain and anxiety, and
potentially chronic pain, PTSD and wound healing.”

For decades, CBD oil from the cannabis plant was illegal,
research was banned and doctors who used it were persecuted.
Tens of thousands are in jail today for possessing the raw plant
material.
Now, finally it's legal in all 50 states.
What other medicines have these monsters kept from us?
What "monsters" am I talking about?
The FDA, Big Pharma, Congress and the captive news media which

My first thought was about the suppression and elimination of
the EV-1.
The phenomenon described here is why there will NEVER be a "cure
for cancer." Too much money and collateral businesses relies on
their NOT being one.

True. The profit motive has completely corrupted the health care
