Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the h**p plant. Recent history has seen an increase in public interest as well as scientific attention towards CBD, which is known for health benefits ranging from pain relief and treatment of sleep and mood disorders to fortified cardiovascular health, brain health, skin and bone health, and illness prevention — among many others.
CBD is considered very safe for the treatment of both humans and animals, and is a popular choice of natural medicine for people and their pets. Oftentimes, there is some misconception about h**p, which is a closely-related cousin of the ma*****na plant.
Although in the same family, h**p and ma*****na are two entirely different plants. While h**p produces CBD, ma*****na produces a compound known as THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. It is this compound found in ma*****na that causes psychoactive effects when consumed, resulting in the sensation of being “high”. H**p, on the other hand, is CBD-dominant, and produces little to no THC when sourced from pure and CBD-concentrated origins such as those from Burns CBD.
CBD and THC act on completely different receptors in the brain and central nervous system. While THC causes psychoactive effects and gets you “high”, CBD does not, and its effects on the body and central nervous system result in health benefits such as those stated above.
How Do You Get CBD from H**p?
As with any compound extracted from a plant, obtaining high-quality, pure CBD relies on the type of plant and the conditions that it’s sourced from. H**p found in nature may contain both CBD and THC, and in the past, CBD was sourced from h**p plants that were not CBD dominant. To achieve this, it was necessary to process the plant using more contaminants, resulting in less potent and impure CBD.
Today, we’ve realized that the best way to extract pure CBD is by getting it from CBD-dominant h**p grown in clean and natural conditions — and for the sole purpose of producing CBD. While most commercial CBD extracts are obtained from commercial h**p (the same h**p that produces fabrics, paper, and h**p plastics), we grow our very own CBD-dominant h**p strains to produce the cleanest, purest and most complete CBD extract possible.
Commercial CBD is often mass-produced and grown in poor-quality soil (oftentimes overseas), where it absorbs toxins from the ground and results in a contaminated, impure CBD extract. Our farmer plant all of their h**p using clean, nutrient-rich soil which results in a pure, toxin-free and highly-effective extract.
How Do You Get CBD-Dominant H**p?
Many h**p strains found in nature are CBD-dominant, while gene selection and plant cross-breeding have also produced CBD-dominant h**p strains for the purposes of creating pure CBD extract.
Important Questions to ask When Purchasing CBD Products
What H**p Strain Does the CBD Come From?
We use only CBD-dominant strains to produce 99.98% pure CBD isolate for a better, more effective product.
What Conditions Were the Plants Grown In?
H**p absorbs so much toxicity from the soil that it’s actually known for its soil-cleaning properties! Of course, these aren’t the kind of h**p plants you want to get your CBD from. H**p grown in clean, nutrient-rich soil using only organic methods is essential in producing a toxin-free CBD product. That’s exactly what you get with Burns CBD.
What About the Refining Process?
When you get your CBD from commercial sources, chances are it’s been refined using chemicals you don’t want to know about. At Burns CBD, all of our CBD is refined with clean and inert compounds that keep your CBD pure-and-healthy.
How Pure is the CBD?
CBD from commercial sources is often loaded with toxins, chemicals, fibers, waxes, oils and other unwanted by-products. In other words, most CBD is not very pure at all. We produce only the purest CBD extract possible — at 99.98% pure CBD isolate.
We’ve also made sure you’re not consuming any unwanted by-products with your CBD by removing all the natural h**p by-products such as chlorophyll, plant wax, oil and fibers during the extraction process.
Our chemical-free extraction process is specially-designed to produce 99.8% pure CBD isolate, and we only make our CBD in small batches to ensure quality-control and purity with every product.
