What you might not be aware of, though, is the conversation that Dr. Bennet Omalu\u2019s story has ignited in the days leading up to its release. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concussion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> follows the real life work that Dr. Omalu did to discover chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disorder that can only be currently diagnosed posthumously. Further, it details the major pushback he got from the NFL while trying to raise awareness of the ailment post-discovery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Omalu\u2019s work was instrumental in building a robust foundation for <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/company\/portfolio-company-5\/\">Kannalife Sciences<\/a>, a Medical Marijuana Inc. portfolio company, to research CTE. Currently, Kannalife is in the process of developing cannabinoid therapies to help treat CTE, holding a license from the National Institutes of Health to do so. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The topic is incendiary to say the least, especially given the NFL\u2019s inadequacy surrounding concussions, and it\u2019s recent reversal on a $30 million commitment to fund CTE research. It\u2019s why ESPN\u2019s Outside the Lines (OTL) invited Marvin Washington, Kannalife Sciences spokesperson and former NFL defensive end; Pierre Woods, former NFL player; and Peter Keating, ESPN Senior Writer, to discuss the implications. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/uR7cmfWjA-A?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think it\u2019s [<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concussion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">] going to find a way into a lot of holiday conversations,\u201d says Keating. \u201cWhen we break news or report news we\u2019re talking about the leading edge of research or unusual and unexpected developments. There\u2019s a trailing edge to this: millions of people are encountering this story of concussions for the first time.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All three agreed that the movie was accurate when detailing the extent of Dr. Omalu\u2019s work. They also agreed that the tone was somber. Regardless, it still sparked conversations when the credits rolled. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis movie is going to bring the subject [of concussions and CTE] into the mainstream,\u201d says Washington. \u201cPeople will come away with a new perspective on football.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granted, the panel agreed that nobody wants football to die. Rather, it\u2019s all about making the game safer for both current and future players. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To that end, Washington has secured a spot as an advisory board member with Kannalife Sciences, a company that has an exclusive license from the United States Government via <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/the-significance-of-the-507-patent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patent #6,630,507<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to utilize all non-psychoactive cannabis as antioxidants and neuroprotectants. In theory it could be used to research potential treatments for neurodegenerative disorders like CTE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as many people will be approaching the world of concussions for the first time as they experience the movie, they\u2019ll also be new to the world of CTE as it relates to CBD. That\u2019s why Washington and Kannalife have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/medical-marijuana-inc-and-kannalife-sciences-inc-announce-joint-effort-to-raise-awareness-for-cte-research\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kicked off their #TreatCTE campaign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where they\u2019ll raise awareness about potential treatments and cures for CTE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CTE and concussion education is something that Washington holds very close to his heart, as his son is currently playing in the Canadian Football League. Not only does he routinely discuss concussions with his son, the two are both on CBD regimens. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m on a <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/what-is-cbd-oil\/\">CBD<\/a> regimen, I try to exercise, I eat a fortified diet, and I think all ex-players should do this,\u201d says Washington. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As he says, protecting your brain and head is going to come from science, and not from equipment, because there\u2019s no helmet that can stop a concussion.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t want a concussion, don\u2019t play football. But if you\u2019re going to play football let\u2019s make it as safe as we can,\u201d says Washington.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems like a pretty clear cut issue: the NFL should make football as safe as possible for their players, but that\u2019s where things start to get tricky. According to Washington, the treatment side of things is where money should be allocated, but so far the NFL is \u201cwoefully lacking\u201d in that area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most would absolutely agree that preventative measures are necessary, especially considering that NFL players <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/realspin\/2013\/08\/18\/why-everything-you-hear-about-the-deadly-game-of-football-is-false\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rarely live past their 50s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The good news is that there\u2019s already a lot of information in circulation about said measures, which is something Washington tries to disseminate through his work with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/companies\/kannalife\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kannalife Sciences<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.treatcte.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TreatCTE campaign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo many guys suffer in silence and pain, and it doesn\u2019t have to be that way,\u201d says Washington.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This all begs a very real question though: what is the NFL doing to remedy the situation? According to Washington, they\u2019ve done a lot as far as rules and regulations, but when you still have concussion deniers working with the NFL things become suspect. Specifically, he\u2019s talking about <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsonearth.com\/article\/47668524\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Elliot Pellman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who helped author a 16 page report claiming it was medically OK to send concussed players back into the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s further complicated by the fact that the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/nfl-concussion-lawsuit-settlement-what-frontline-cte-data-means-appeal-process-2104528\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NFL\u2019s concussion lawsuit deal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was described by many affiliated parties as inadequate: it only provided medical coverage to CTE victims who died from 2006 to 2014, an eight year window. To Washington, this says that the NFL is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doing all they can to help. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe thing I can tell you about the NFL concussion settlement is that if Junior Seau, Mike Webster, or Andre Waters were alive today they wouldn\u2019t get one red cent out of that settlement,\u201d says Washington. \u201cThe NFL needs to set up a CTE treatment fund specifically that deals with that.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019ll be doing that anytime soon. In fact, it was just announced that the NFL has decided to back out of funding a monumental brain study at Boston University because they didn\u2019t like the lead researcher, Dr. Bob Stern. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/espn\/otl\/story\/_\/id\/14417386\/nfl-pulls-funding-boston-university-head-trauma-study-concerns-researcher\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Per ESPN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe seven-year, $16 million initiative was to be funded out of a $30 million research grant the NFL gave the National Institutes of Health in 2012. The NFL has said repeatedly that it has no control over how that money is spent, but the league balked at this study, sources said, because the NIH awarded the project to a group led by a prominent Boston University researcher who has been critical of the league.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just to reiterate, the study that the NFL just backed away from was part of a $30 million research grant given <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the NIH by the NFL. It\u2019s an odd move considering that <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/11\/16\/sports\/football\/roger-goodell-nfl-commissioner-speaks-on-concussions.html?_r=0\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the NFL has been outspoken<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about wanting to decrease the amount of head trauma in the game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, though, CTE can only be currently diagnosed post-mortem. This study, which the NFL has backed out of, is structured to tap the holy grail of CTE research: diagnosing CTE in living patients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That kind of diagnostic ability would go a long way since CTE isn\u2019t an exclusively football related injury. The CDC says there are upwards of 2.5 million concussions per year, with about half resulting in hospitalization. As Dr. Omalu says in the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/pages\/frontline\/sports\/league-of-denial\/the-frontline-interview-dr-bennet-omalu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PBS Frontline documentary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">League of Denial<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even one concussive injury is enough to potentially cause long term mental impairment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kannalife Sciences isn\u2019t backing out of anything though: they\u2019ve announced a fundraising initiative with Temple University to study the efficacy of cannabinoid therapeutics on TBI and CTE as part of the treatCTE campaign. Not to mention, Kannalife has the exclusive license to the NIH patent to research CBD therapeutics, which will open doors the NFL would rather see closed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concussion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is so important, and it\u2019s why Washington\u2019s mission with Kannalife Sciences goes so much further than just awareness about CTE. They\u2019re helping to effect major changes at nearly all levels of life, for all people, not just football players.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/companies\/kannalife\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kannalife Sciences<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and stay up on their efforts to help treat CTE.
