WHAT IS CBD?

CBD is a natural constituent of the cannabis plant, typically hemp. CBD sold commercially can’t contain more than .03 percent THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical responsible for the psychoactive effects induced by marijuana. Manufacturers distill CBD into an isolate or as the primary active ingredient among other cannabinoids. It’s formulated into several variations including oil, ointments, balms, water, edibles, and more.

There are more than 100 cannabinoids in cannabis. CBD and THC are the most prevalent. All the cannabinoids are said to contribute health benefits. Using them all together, referred to as “full spectrum,” creates what’s called an entourage effect, compounding the therapeutic effectiveness.

CBD doesn’t come with the same risks as its sibling cannabinoid THC. According to the World Health Organization, “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. To date, there is no evidence of recreational use of CBD or any public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM TAKING CBD?

Everyone. CBD is an all-natural product that helps maintain overall health. Research on potential health benefits of CBD oil is ongoing, so new therapeutic uses for this natural remedy are sure to be discovered.

THE ECS SYSTEM

The Endocannabinoid System is made up of cell receptors that act as messengers, giving your body specific directions on what to do. The ECS is important because it helps in regulating: anxiety, appetite/hunger, depression, digestion, immune function, memory, mood, motor control, pain, pleasure and reward, reproduction and fertility, sleep, and temperature regulation. External sources of cannabinoids like CBD can help regulate your ECS to improve health.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ARE HEMP AND MARIJUANA THE SAME?

No. Hemp is completely different from marijuana in its function, cultivation and application. Marijuana, as it is widely known, is used for medicinal or recreational purposes. Hemp is used in a variety of other applications that marijuana couldn’t possibly be used in. These include healthy dietary supplements, skin products, clothing and accessories.

Marijuana contains many chemical compounds that create the different characteristics of the plant. Terpenes provide flavors and aromas, while chlorophyll in the leaves makes the plant green – but the most important chemicals in marijuana are the cannabinoids.

HOW DO I TAKE CBD?

There are many ways to take CBD. The most common are tinctures (oil droppers) which are used sublingually under the tongue, capsules and topical applications, such as salves or patches.

WILL I FEEL HIGH AFTER TAKING CBD?

It is impossible when taken properly. Some people notice they feel less anxious when they use CBD. Amazingly, what hemp does contain is a lot of other cannabinoids and phytonutrients like CBN, CBL and CBDA. These cannabinoids, terpenes and phytonutrients all play an important role in supporting your endocannabinoid system and help regulate normal cell functions.

IS CBD LEGAL AND/OR SAFE?

Yes, when properly derived from industrial hemp, CBD is federally legal in all states. To be legal, the THC level must be less than 0.3%. Our products are tested to ensure safety. A certificate of analysis is available on every product we carry!
