THAT
THAT AMTRAK IS DUE FOR THE WRECK DUE TO NEGLIGENCE.
AMTRAK IS NOT COMMENTING ON THE
LAWSUIT.
LAWSUIT.
LAWSUIT. >>> CBD IS EVERYWHERE THESE
DAYS.
DAYS.
DAYS. THE
DAYS. THE HEMP BYPRODUCT DOES NOT GET
TOO HIGH AND IS USED SOME FOR
BODY ACHES AND ANXIETY.
MAINSTREAM RETAILERS ARE
GETTING IN ON THE TREND,
SELLING THINGS LIKE LOTIONS AND
HOMES.
HOMES.
HOMES. IN
HOMES. IN STORES ALL OVER OREGON, YOU
CAN PURCHASE CBD GUMMY'S, BEER,
DONUTS, EVEN SAUSAGE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE CBD
WATER THAT YOU JUST SPENT $7 ON
EVEN HAS ANY CBD IN IT?
CRISTIN SEVERANCE IS JOINING US
NOW THIS MORNING LIVE AND YOU
PUT MORE THAN ONE DOZEN
PRODUCTS TO THE TEST.
>> THIS STUFF IS EVERYWHERE IN
STORES ALL OVER PORTLAND.
THEY REALLY CANNOT KEEP UP WITH
THE INDUSTRY.
THE INDUSTRY. THE STUFF IS NOT CHEAP.
REGULAR GUMMY'S ARE $.99.
THE CBD GUMMY'S ARE $28.
THIS WATER IS $.99 AND THIS
WATER IS FIVE DOLLARS BACK.
IT IS ACTUALLY $7.
WE FOUND THAT WHAT IS ON THE
LABEL DOES NOT ALWAYS MATCH
WHAT IS IN THE PRODUCT.
>> AT 53, SHE HAS HAD TWO HIPS
AND A KNEE RELATE REPLACE.
>> YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.
>> Reporter: SHE SAID ONE THING
HAS MADE LIVING WITH THE PAIN
EASIER.
EASIER.
EASIER. CBD.
CBD.
CBD. >>
CBD. >> IT WORKS FOR ME.
>> POPULARITY HAS EXPLODED IN
2019 WHILE SOME USE IT FOR PAIN
OR ANXIETY, A WHOLE CROP OF CBD
INFUSED GOODS HAS BEEN
CAPITALIZING ON THE TREND.
>> WHAT ARE THE THOUGHTS ABOUT
LATTES, BEER, WHAT YOU THINK OF
THAT?
THAT?
THAT? >>
THAT? >> I WOULD PROBABLY NOT
PARTICIPATE IN THOSE PRODUCTS.
I LIKE GOING TO THE
DISPENSARIES.
DISPENSARIES. I FEEL THAT IT IS TESTED.
>> SHE IS RIGHT, THE CBD
PRODUCTS PURCHASED AT THE
DISPENSARY GO THROUGH GREGORY
RIGOROUS TESTING.
RIGOROUS TESTING. THE CBD PRODUCTS BOUGHT AT
NONREGULATED STORES LIKE CBD
SHOPS OR GROCERY STORES DO NOT
HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME RULES.
SO WE SET OUT TO DO OUR OWN TEST
OF PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM
REGULAR STORES.
REGULAR STORES. WE PURCHASED CBD WATER, A LATTE,
PET TREATS, BEER, AND SAUSAGE.
WE TOOK THE PRODUCTS TO
GREENLEAF LAB IN PORTLAND.
A FULLY ACCREDITED CANNABIS AND
HAVE TESTING FACILITY.
HE IS THE CHIEF SCIENCE
OFFICER.
OFFICER.
OFFICER. >> IT IS A NEW CRAZE GOING ON.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE OPPORTUNITY.
THE OPPORTUNITY. >> THE TRENDY PRODUCTS DID NOT
TOO GREAT.
TOO GREAT. >> THERE ARE PROBABLY A COUPLE
REASONS FOR THAT.
THERE MORE CHALLENGING TO
PRODUCE.
PRODUCE.
PRODUCE. THEY ARE A MORE COMPLEX PRODUCT.
>> THE WATER PROMISE 5 MILLION
MILLIGRAMS, BUT THE TEST NOT
FIND ANY CBD IN THE PRODUCT.
>> WE WERE UNABLE TO DETECT ANY
CBD.
CBD.
CBD. >>
CBD. >> Reporter: THEY ALSO FOUND
NONE IN THE EAR ITSELF, THE
TRACE AMOUNTS WERE DETECTED ON
THE INSIDE OF THE CANNED.
>> WE DID TEST AND RINSE THE
CONTAINER AND WERE ABLE TO
DETECT CBD PRESENCE SO WE KNOW
THAT THERE WAS SOME THERE
ORIGINALLY.
ORIGINALLY. IT JUST DOES NOT APPEAR THAT IT
WAS SUSPENDED IN SOLUTION.
>> Reporter: NO CBD WAS DETECTED
IN THE SAUSAGE.
THEY FOUND 10 MILLIGRAMS OF CBD
IN THE DOUGHNUT, WHICH IS WHAT
THE DOUGHNUT COMPANY ADVERTISES.
AS FOR THE PURE GUMMY'S, THE
LABEL CLAIMS THAT THERE ARE 250
MILLIGRAMS OF CBD IN THE
PRODUCT BUT THE TESTING FOUND
80% LESS THAN THAT IN THE
CANDY.
CANDY.
CANDY. THE PET VET PET TREATS CLAIM TO
HAVE 50 MILLIGRAMS OF CBD PER
PACKAGE BUT THEY FOUND LESS
THAN 50% OF THAT AMOUNT.
HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THE
COMPANIES ARE DOING THIS ON
PURPOSE.
PURPOSE.
PURPOSE. >> INFUSING A POTENTIALLY
PSYCHOACTIVE SUCH AS THC OR CBD
INTO AN ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD
CONSUMER GOOD IS A VERY
CHALLENGING PROCESS.
CHALLENGING PROCESS. >>> WE DID HEAR BACK FROM SOME
OF THESE COMPANIES.
WE REACHED OUT TO A LOT OF THEM.
THE GUMMY SOURCES THAT THEY
BELIEVE THAT THE PRODUCT WE
TESTED COULD HAVE BEEN A
COUNTERFEIT PRODUCT BECAUSE
THEY'RE GETTING SOME
COUNTERFEIT CLAIMS AND
COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE MIDWEST.
THEY SAID IT COULD BE THAT THE
CBD LEVELS AS WELL.
THEY ARE CHANGING THEIR
PACKAGING TO CUT DOWN ON FRIED.
WE SPOKE WITH THE COALITION
BREWING, THEY SAY THAT THE TEST
THAT BATCH THAT WE TESTED WAS A
NEW TEST AND THAT THEY DID THE
TEST AND HAD THE SAME RESULTS
WE DID.
WE DID.
WE DID. THEY ARE NOT USING THAT PROCESS
ANY LONGER.
ANY LONGER. >> THEY SAY WE DO NOT ADVERTISE
THE PERCENTAGE IN THE SAUSAGE.
>> YOU MORE COMING UP THIS
EVENING.
EVENING.
EVENING. >> WE ALSO TESTED TINCTURE AND
LOTIONS.
LOTIONS.
LOTIONS. LOTS OF PEOPLE USE THIS, BUT IT
WILL BE GOOD TO KNOW WHAT IS
ACTUALLY THERE.
ACTUALLY THERE. >>> IF YOU HAVE A STORY IDEA,
