CBD is a molecule found in the cannabis plant families that is known for its amazing therapeutic benefits without posing any psychoactive effects. This offers more benefits to a larger population of people and is now one of the most widely talked about health products on the market today.
We started this journey in 2014, with a passion for the powers of h**p. After years of great results, we wanted to bring our favorite products to the masses.
H**p CBD oil really hit the market hard in 2017 and hasn’t stopped growing. In fact, it is positioned to be the fastest growing industry in the nation, and on track to increase by 1000% as stated in Forbes magazine.
Frequently Asked Questions about CBD
1) Is H**p the same as Ma*****na?
H**p and ma*****na are two types of cannabis that are genetically distinct and differ in both cultivation, chemical properties, and use. Ma*****na is cultivated to yield high levels of the psychoactive ingredient THC. H**p is used in industrial, food, clothing and building products, with over 250 other uses.
2) What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many different compounds, known as cannabinoids, found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are unique because they act on cannabinoid receptors that are part of the endocannabinoid system found throughout the body. The second most abundant compound in cannabis, CBD is not intoxicating and has none of the psychoactive properties of ma*****na.
3) How is your CBD made?
Our CBD comes from USDA Certified Organic H**p, and adheres to very high agricultural standards and strict laws prohibiting GMOs, pesticides & poisons. We use C02 extraction.. Now, that may not mean much to you, but it means a LOT to us. We want to make sure that we get the BEST of everything in the plant, keeping as many natural terpenes, and natural cannabinoids in the plant as possible.
So, we start out with the whole plant and we begin the extraction process. Our first run is not great, it’s brown & sticky.. .and just not good…. but we always test it so that we know what we’re starting with. We usually come out with ~18-25% pure CBD after the first extraction process…. (believe it or not this is actually very high for the industry). And we don’t stop there – we continue with our meticulous process until we’ve “weeded” out all the impurities, to get this whopping 99% pure cannabinoids.
Why is purity important? Because the CBD market isn’t regulated. So a company can take a drop of CBD oil full of impurities, add it to a bottle of h**p oil, and call it CBD. And sadly that’s exactly what many companies do. The extracted cannabinoids are then mixed into a bottle of Emulsified MCT oil (Coconut), the best carrier oil due to fat content, liquidity and clarity.
4) Will I get High?
No. It does not have any of the psychoactive properties associated with ma*****na and will not impair the user or get them “high.”
5) Is CBD legal?
Yes. CBD is absolutely legal and H**p is NOT a classified drug by the DEA.
6) Will I pass a drug test?
If you take our THC free isolated Oil, YES ABSOLUTELY. If you use our FULL SPECTRUM oil, it does contain traces of THC, so we ask that you do NOT use it if you are tested.
7) How is it Taken and what is it used for?
CBD can be taken orally by placing it under the tongue, which helps it enter the blood stream quickly through a sublingual process. CBD can also be added to ointments and lotions for topical use or inhaled using a vaporizer. We have edibles and bath products as well, which are very effective.
Unfortunately, the FDA has our hands tied when it comes to the topic of what it is used for. BUT, our Pain topicals are registered through the FDA so we can claim pain relief on contact.
We cannot, however, legally claim that CBD will cure, treat, or prevent any disease.
8) What is the difference between Isolate and Full Spectrum?
Products that are Full Spectrum contain CBD as well as other cannabinoids, including THC. CBD Isolate is 99% pure isolated CBD. Cannabinoids in FULL SPECTRUM formulas are most effective as their are in more of their natural state. However, please make a consult to help us with your cannabis journey.
9) Does CBD produce side effects?
H**p and CBD are both considered safe and should not produce any adverse side effects in most people. However, everyone processes CBD and other dietary supplements differently, and it is always recommended to consult with a physician before adding any supplement to your diet.
10) Are CBD products safe?
Our CBD products all come from the same batches of H**p, farmed organically, Non-GMO, vegan and pesticide free. Not all products can guarantee this, so its very important to get information for any supplemental natural and alternative medicines.
