What is CBD?

CBD is one of over 120 compounds found in cannabis that belongs to a class of molecules called cannabinoids.

How does CBD work?

In the last 20 years, natural cannabinoid receptor systems have been discovered in the human body. It is binding to these receptors that cannabinoids produce their pharmacological effects. There are two types of cannabinoid receptors in humans, CB1 & CB2. CB1 receptors are present in the brain, spinal cord, and certain peripheral tissues. CB2 receptors are found primarily in immune tissues.

 What is the difference between Hempseed Oil and CBD Oil?

Hempseed Oil is made from crushing the cannabis seeds which are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, (to maintain healthy cholesterol/lipid levels in the body), as well as other dietary supplements. Many people drink this daily. There is no CBD or THC in the seeds and therefore, not in the seed oil. CBD Oil is made by a CO2 extraction process, which gently pulls the oil from the stalk, leaf, and resins. Both are said to be from Industrial Hemp which is Cannabis Sativa. What is the difference between Industrial Hemp and Cannabis Sativa?


 What is the difference between Industrial Hemp and Cannabis Sativa?

Cannabis Sativa is the species of cannabis that produces both plants. The common name Hemp was given to the cultivated Sativa plant because of its use, (originally for its fiber to make rope, clothing, and sails), and nowadays, because of it's high CBD content and low THC content. The federal laws have dictated that any cannabis containing more than 0.3% THC is "Marijuana", and therefore illegal and a drug to be controlled at a minimum. Cannabis Sativa grown for hemp type use is only grown with permits within the United States. The obvious problem is that both types of this cultivated plant, Sativa, to the average person, looks the same and therefore hard to control. Perhaps we need to redefine all cannabis by its cannabinoids content, revising the taxonomy to reflect subspecies cultivated for specific use such as recreational, medicinal, a food supplement, and spiritual. And finally, to make all species legal to use as desired.
