FAQs

CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids are also found in many other plants. CBD interacts with our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD is a non-psychoactive compound used for the management of many ailments including anxiety, stress, insomnia, pain management, and inflammation – to name a few. People around the globe are finding new effective uses for CBD every day. CBD is typically extracted from CBD rich hemp (cannabis sativa with less than 0.3% THC) to be included in a wide range of products from sublingual oils, tinctures, topicals, edibles and pet treats. CBD-rich smokable hemp flower and vape products are also popular methods of delivery.

The ECS (Endocannabinoid System) is a system that naturally exists within our body. “Endo”, from “endogenous” (meaning it is naturally occurring within the human body); and “cannabinoid”, referring to cannabis-like substances. The ECS has three component parts – (1) endocannabinoids (substances that interact with endocannabinoid receptors), (2) receptors throughout our bodies and (3) enzymes that help process the cannabinoids and endocannabinoids. Our bodies naturally produce compounds, endocannabinoids, to interact with this system. Cannabinoids (found in cannabis and other plants) also make use of this system. The endocannabinoid system is part of our body’s functionality in charge of maintaining homeostasis. CB1 (help to regulate appetite, memory and pain) and CB2 (help to reduce inflammation) receptors are found throughout the body, including in our brain, digestive, and central nervous system.

THC (Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis that also interacts with our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) and produces the characteristic “high” most often associated with consuming cannabis. THC interacts with our endocannabinoid system (ECS) by releasing dopamine into the brain. THC’s psychoactive properties can cause feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and can improve the enjoyment of social activities. THC is also used for pain management, nausea, and appetite stimulation.

Terpenes are a large and varying type of organic compound that occurs naturally in many plants (usually conifers) and a few select insects.  Scientists suspect that the strong odor produced by terpenes may have an effect on plant eating beings and the predators that prey on them.  Thereby protecting the plant from those dangers.  Increasingly, science is discovering how terpenes help to promote homeostasis within the body and boost the benefits of CBD.

Possibly.  CBD isolate products contain no THC, as is the case with many broad spectrum products with no THC. However, with full spectrum hemp products, some testing agencies use tests that test only for the presence of THC, not the amount of that presence.  The possibility of testing positive remains in this situation.

Yes. While legislators are struggling with the framework for this new market, it remains legal in all 50 states with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill.
