ATTN #CBD stakeholders: @US_FDA today holding scientific conf. on CBD/other #cannabinoids. I'll be live tweeting throughout. Not sure we'll get much insight on immediate path forward for consumer products but I'll share noteworthy observations. Agenda: bit.ly/3pHXU8V
I'll be paying particular attention to @DrAbernethyFDA's remarks at 9:05a (head of #FDA's #CBD Policy Working Group) and @DThrockmortonMD's keynote at 9:15a (one of Agency's principals for regulating R&D, manufacture & marketing of #cannabis & cannabis-derived #drug products).
Alright fam—grab your coffee and settle in because want to spend a little bit of time today walking through #DietarySupplement oversight, why mandatory product listing would be transformative for the @US_FDA and why it’s a big deal the President put it in his #FY20Budget. 1/

Back when #DSHEA was being considered in 1994, there were ~4,000 supplements on the market and the industry was valued at ~$4 billion.
Fast forward 25 years to now—there *could* be as many as 80,000 #DietarySupplement products on the market, valued at over $40 billion. 3/
