These innovative products offer \u2018low THC cannabis\u2019 options for consumers of all ages who\u00a0are seeking CBD oil from hemp.\u201d<\/p>\n Concussions in \u201ccollision sports\u201d \u2013 a term coined by NFL star Marvin Washington \u2013 has captured headline\u00a0news. Concussions were the reason that former NFL star, Chris Borland, chose an early retirement. This is a\u00a0major topic of conversation at the San Diego Cannabis Professionals Cup. One professional athlete slated to\u00a0speak about cannabis use at the San Diego Cannabis Professionals Cup is former NFL star, Kyle Turley, who\u00a0is cited by the U-T San Diego as officially being diagnosed with two concussions \u2013 but feels that more went\u00a0undetected.<\/p>\n According to an article by ESPN, Turley appeared in 109 games with the New Orleans Saints, St. Louis Rams\u00a0and Kansas City Chiefs and was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2000. Successive concussions are related to\u00a0a condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE); this is the same condition that Pro Football and\u00a0San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame inductee, Junior Seau, was diagnosed with after his suicide in 2012. The\u00a0article by ESPN states that, as Seau did, Turley has also agreed to have his brain donated to medical research\u00a0after his death.<\/p>\n Hard continues, \u201cConversations about cannabis use for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain\u00a0injury (TBI), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and concussions are more prevalent in headline news\u00a0and documentaries. We encourage the public to become more aware of hemp and cannabis history in the U.S.\u00a0and around the world. This is an ancient botanical that is rapidly making a comeback on the global landscape.\u00a0This single plant species has the potential to positively impact the global economy with its return to the\u00a0marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n The San Diego Cannabis Professionals Cup features live entertainment and takes place on Saturday, August\u00a08, from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 2863 Historic Decatur Rd.
