FAQ
CBD is Cannabidiol, one of the many cannabinoids found in both cannabis and hemp.
No. CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid.
There are more than one hundred unique chemical compounds found in both the cannabis and hemp plants called cannabinoids. The two most famous cannabinoids are CBD and THC. THC is the intoxicating cannabinoid that acts as a euphoriant and gets you “high”. CBD is the non-psychoactive, non-intoxicating cannabinoid that has recently received so much attention in the health and Wellness space.
Cannabis and hemp are actually two varieties of the same plant species-Cannabis Sativa. Because they share the same species name, there is a lot of confusion around the differences between them. Both varieties produce cannabinoids. Hemp is the variety of Cannabis Sativa that has been bread to have very low levels of THC (0.3% or less) and high levels of CBD. In fact, to be legally considered hemp, the cannabis plant must have no more that 0.3% THC.
Hemp, like many plants, can absorb the toxins and impurities in the air and soil in which it is grown. Some hemp extracts on the market come from other countries and may contain heavy metals and other chemical contaminants. All of the CBD products we carry are derived from hemp cultivated in the USA. Which allows the highest standards of quality and purity.
