“…This reinforces trends found in the existing literature on hemp and CBD adoption (Choi and Hwang, 2023; Goodman et al ., 2022; Kim and Mark, 2023; Lacasse et al ., 2023) and indicates a constraint to hemp adoption among older U.S. adults. Though we do not include a predictor for marijuana perceptions, our findings could reflect lingering public confusion and/or disapproval regarding hemp and marijuana (Goel et al ., 2023; Rampold et al ., 2021; Wysota et al ., 2022), which would point to a need for improved clarity on the federal distinction between the two crops. Considering persistent association of age and hemp use, there is a need for further research and public education strategies to understand why older adults are averse to hemp and how the sector can reduce the stigma associated with its products.…”

“…It has since been established that hemp is distinctly different from marijuana, particularly in psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content (World Health Organization, 2018), though confusion regarding this distinction appears to present among the public (Goel et al ., 2023; Rampold et al ., 2021; Wysota et al ., 2022). In a regulatory sense, these recognized differences enable the pursuit of hemp for its agronomic prospects and ability to be processed into a breadth of renewable, and potentially sustainable, products.…”

PurposeThis paper examines how U.S. consumer intentions to adopt hemp vary across product types using the theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approachData were collected via an online survey of U.S. residents in 2022 (n = 1,948). Two-step structural equation modeling is used to examine how TPB constructs and background factors influence intent to use five different hemp-based products: cannabidiol (CBD), clothing, food, personal care products, and pet products. Data are analyzed using R.FindingsPositive attitudes towards all categories of hemp-based products increase the probability of adoption, while subjective norm and perceived behavioral control have limited and varied significant influence across product models. Age has a consistent significant and negative influence on adoption.Research limitations/implicationsFindings highlight consumer segmentation and marketing opportunities, inform hemp stakeholder decision-making, and provide directions for future research. Given the absence of explanatory power of SN and PBC on most product models and the diversity of products and nuanced U.S. hemp policy, future research could investigate expanded iterations of TPB. Using revealed behavior could also highlight potential intention-behavior gaps and offer more robust insights for hemp stakeholders.Originality/valueFindings contribute to a limited body of information on markets and consumer demand for hemp in the U.S.

“…For centuries, Cannabis sativa L. has been widely utilized by humans for various purposes, including rituals [1], industry [2], pharmaceutical applications [3], and food [4]. One emerging use of Cannabis in food products is in the form of Cannabis protein, Cannabis seeds, Cannabis seed oil, and Cannabis-based milk [5]. In the United States, a variety of snack foods containing cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) are available for purchase, including gummies [6], sodas [7], and snack bars [8].…”

Cannabis sativa L. has been widely used by humans for centuries for various purposes, such as industrial, ceremonial, medicinal, and food. The bioactive components of Cannabis sativa L. can be classified into two main groups: cannabinoids and terpenes. These bioactive components of Cannabis sativa L. leaf and inflorescence extracts were analyzed. Mice were systemically administered 30 mg/kg of Cannabis sativa L. leaf extract 1 h before lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, and behavioral tests were performed. We conducted an investigation into the oxygen saturation, oxygen tension, and degranulation of mast cells (MCs) in the deep cervical lymph nodes (DCLNs). To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of Cannabis sativa L. extracts in BV2 microglial cells, we assessed nitrite production and the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. The main bioactive components of the Cannabis sativa L. extracts were THCA (a cannabinoid) and β-caryophyllene (a terpene). Cannabis sativa L. leaf extract reduced the immobility time in the forced swimming test and increased sucrose preference in the LPS model, without affecting the total distance and time in the center in the open field test. Additionally, Cannabis sativa L. leaf extract improved oxygen levels and inhibited the degranulation of MCs in DCLNs. The Cannabis sativa L. extracts inhibited IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, nitrite, iNOS, and COX-2 expression in BV2 microglia cells. The efficacy of Cannabis sativa L. extracts was suggested to be due to the entourage effect of various bioactive phytochemicals. Our findings indicate that these extracts have the potential to be used as effective treatments for a variety of diseases associated with acute inflammatory responses.
