What is Cannabidiol (CBD)?

Cannabidiol is the most prominent of the variety of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It is devoid of psychoactive effects and potentially the most important cannabinoid discovered yet. CBD occurs in levels from less than 1% in some commercial hemp plants, up to 10% or more by flower weight in certain female genetics. Up to over 20% of hemp flower can be cannabinoids. Our hemp extracts deliver the whole plant spectrum of cannabinoids and other plant beneficials

What are cannabinoids?

Each cannabis plant contains a variety of distinct cannabinoids and dozens of other natural compounds. The most well known cannabinoids are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). CBD is not psychoactive, it does not give you a ‘high’, while THC is the only psychoactive of all cannabinoids, it gives you a ‘high’. Industrial hemp is a cannabis plant that contains less than 0.3% of THC in its dried plant matter, which constitutes trace amounts only that do not give you a high. Our products are made of proprietary industrial hemp genetics that are particularly high in CBD and extremely low in THC, providing you with an industry leading whole spectrum of plant beneficials.

How do Cannabinoids work?

Humans naturally produce cannabinoids that are involved physiological processes affecting: appetite, muscle cell learning, nerve signal pathways (synapses) etc. In the human body cannabinoids bind to receptors called CB1 and CB2. These receptors modulate the brain, the nervous system, and major organs. Cannabinoids bind to either one of the receptors. CBD, however, binds to both of them providing clinical benefits. Research indicates that increased reception of CBD stimulates the body to increase cannabinoid production levels. However, none of these statements have been approved by the FDA.
