A *thread* about @twitter and what I’ve learned about #CBD in the last 24 hrs. My tweet from yesterday sharing @business news on the #FDA raising concerns about potential harm from #CBD use has gotten over 1.3 million impressions (see screenshots).

Another comment in quote tweets that has been repeated by many of the commenters - apparently not realizing others had said the same thing - is some variation of ‘alcohol does the same things’ (see sample screenshot). #CBD https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards" aria-label="Emoji: Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards">
The next comment theme is expression of the belief that somehow “big #Pharma” is linked to this latest #FDA announcement (see example below). #CBD https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards" aria-label="Emoji: Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards">
So far over 19,000 people have engaged with my #CBD tweet and I’m sure there is a much larger discussion going on across the country that @FDA_Drug_Info has sparked. We knew this but just a reminder that: a lot of people care about this.
Here is @KristineOwram’s informative @business piece on the #CBD market that I was sharing the news from. She reports that “[c]onsumer CBD stocks fell on the news” of the #FDA announcement https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⤵️" title="Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards" aria-label="Emoji: Arrow pointing rightwards then curving downwards"> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-26/cbd-forecasts-likely-to-be-slashed-on-fda-warning-analyst-says">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...
The major expansion in the #cannabis market led me and my colleagues @BLaw to write about key cannabis legal developments to watch in 2020 including the status of interstate shipment of industrial #hemp (used to make #CBD) for our #BloomberLaw2020 serieshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index"> https://bit.ly/2OOnzLx ">https://bit.ly/2OOnzLx&q...
What a wild place @twitter is! I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: I love it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤓" title="Nerd face" aria-label="Emoji: Nerd face">
