CBD (also known as cannabidiol) is one of over a hundred chemical
compounds found in the cannabis plant. While CBD is found within the
marijuana plant, CBD is non-psychoactive, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol),
which is the most commonly thought of cannabinoid found in cannabis.
Also unlike THC, CBD is legal across the United States without a prescription,
thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill. This, in turn, makes CBD a very attractive option
to relieve pain and other ailments without the mind-altering effects
experienced with marijuana or any other drugs. Because of this, CBD is
even prescribed to children with certain conditions, such as cancer and epilepsy.
To be readily used, CBD needs to be extracted from the cannabis plant,
then diluted with a carrier oil (usually coconut or hemp seed oil).
High-quality CBD products will use organic MCT oil as a carrier. This state is now
the most common mixture of CBD that is currently being used for medicinal
purposes.
Whole plant extract, or Full Spectrum, contains all components of the hemp plant including flavonoids, natural fatty acids found in hemp, terpenes, and other cannabinoids (such as CBG, CBN, and trace amounts of THC). By keeping all components of the plant, cannabinoids and terpenes work together in perfect synergy.
Similar to Full Spectrum, our Broad Spectrum products contain all components of the hemp plant but contain non-detectable amounts of THC. Our Broad Spectrum products remain a great choice for our customers who can’t have any traces of THC in their system, but still desire the same full plant synergy.
