Broad Spectrum CBD

-------------------------

CBD (cannabidiol) is extracted from the hemp plant as a full spectrum oil rich in CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes. When the psychoactive part of the oil, THC, is removed to below lab detectable levels, it is then called a broad spectrum oil. This means that although there is no THC in the oil, it still contains all of the other natural plant compounds that contribute to the health and wellness benefits of the extract.

Cannabinoid

----------------

Cannabinoids are the active molecules found in hemp and cannabis plants. These plant-based molecules interact with the human endocannabinoid system. There are more than 100 cannabinoids discovered to date, with CBD and THC being the most well known. Those that naturally occur invery small amounts, such as CBDA, CBDV, CBC, CBG, CBN, and THCV are referred to as rare cannabinoids or minor cannabinoids. Each one is believed to offer unique effects. For example, THCV is a stimulant that increases energy and suppresses appetite. Meanwhile, CBN promotes sleep. What is CBD stand for? Many people wonder what all of these acronyms are for. CBD stands for cannabidiol, CBDA for cannabidiolic acid, CBDV for cannabidivarin, CBC for cannabichromene, CBG for cannabigerol, CBN for cannabinol, THCV for tetrahydrocannabivarin etc.

Cannabis

-----------

Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae. There are three species of cannabis: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. It has been used for centuries in herbal remedies for discomfort, nausea, stress, and sleep. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary intoxicating compound found in THC. Cannabis is consumed in various modes: cannabis flower is smoked and THC is extracted from cannabis to create THC oils, THC gummies, THC salves and more. Hemp is a variety of cannabis that is specifically bred to have very low levels of THC. CBD (cannabidiol) is the primary non-intoxicating compound found in hemp. To define CBD, it is believed to offer many health and wellness benefits without the high of cannabis. CBD oil is used for a variety of purposes, including reducing stress, relieving discomfort, and improving focus and sleep. The cannabis plant is believed to have originated in Central Asia and is now grown around the world.

CBC (cannabichromene)

--------------------------

What is CBC? CBC cannabinoid is found in hemp and cannabis plants. Like CBD, CBC does not have any psychoactive effects. In fact, CBC is known to counteract some of the psychoactive effects of THC. What is CBC good for? CBC has been shown to have mood elevating properties as it raises levels of the brain's "bliss" molecule anandamide. Other studies show that CBC may improve skin conditions. Like CBD oil, CBC oil is manufactured into CBC oil tinctures, CBC oil salves, CBC gummies and other health and wellness properties.

CBDA (cannabidiolic acid)

----------------------------

What is CBDA? Organic CBDA is the acidic precursor, or raw form of CBD and is found in very small amounts in cannabis and hemp plants. When heated, CBDA turns into CBD. This means that CBDA cannot be smoked, vaped, or baked. Although it is similar to CBD, CBDA offers its own unique benefits. Scientific studies show that it may be a stronger antiemetic than CBD. This means that it effectively prevents or reduces nausea and vomiting. The molecular structure of CBDA has also been compared to NSAIDS, which are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This suggests that CBDA may have anti-inflammatory effects. CBDA oil can be purchased as CBDA tincture and must always be taken in its raw, unheated form. CBDA and CBGA oil (cannabigerolic acid) have also been studied in relation to COVID-19.

CBD (cannabidiol)

--------------------

What is CBD? What is CBD oil for? CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid extracted from hemp and used for its health and wellness benefits. CBD is the most abundant cannabinoid in hemp plants and accounts for up to 40% of the plant's extract. CBD oil has a wide range of potential benefits and is non-intoxicating, which means that CBD does not get one high. CBD is known to help with stress, discomfort, and a host of other issues. The FDA has approved CBD for one pharmaceutical drug to treat seizures. CBD is also being studied for many other ailments. CBD can be found in many products, including CBD isolate oils, CBD edibles, CBD gummies, CBD water, CBD salve and CBD cream.

CBD Isolate

-------------

What is CBD isolate? It is CBD that has been isolated from the hemp plant and shows no traces of THC or other cannabinoids when lab tested. CBD isolate is also referred to as pure CBD. CBD isolate is odorless and flavorless, making it an easy ingredient to work with. What is CBD isolate used for? CBD isolate can be used to make CBD products such as CBD oil, CBD water, CBD cream, CBD salves, and CBD gummies. It can help to relieve stress and support healthy joints, a healthy immune system and much more.

CBD Oil

---------

CBD stands for cannabidiol and is the main non-psychoactive active compound in hemp. CBD is taken for balance, calm, stress resilience, and relief from discomfort and inflammation after exercise. It offers these health and wellness benefits due to the way it interacts with the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD is federally legal across the United States and is sold online, in stores, and in cannabis and CBD dispensaries. CBD oil is extracted from hemp and starts as a full spectrum oil. This means that it contains trace amounts of other cannabinoids and terpenes. It can be refined into a broad spectrum oil, or a zero THC CBD isolate oil or isolatepowder. What is CBD oil made of? The oil itself is derived from hemp and can be combined
with carrier oils such as MCT coconut oil or hemp seed oil. CBD oil is also added to many different products for its health and wellness benefits. These include CBD gummies, CBD tinctures, and CBD salves.

CBDV (cannabidivarin)

-------------------------

What is CBDV? CBDV is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that is found in hemp and cannabis plants. Animal studies show that CBDV may improve behavior, communication, and memory. CBDV and CBD for autism: Both cannabinoids are being studied in children, adolescents, and adults with autism spectrum disorder. CBDV is also being studied in relation to Rett syndrome, muscular dystrophy and more.

CBGA (cannabigerolic acid)

----------------------------

What is CBGA? CBGA is the acidic precursor or raw form of CBG. It is a rare or minor cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp plants. It is a foundational compound of the cannabis flower and is sometimes called the
"granddaddy" of cannabinoids. This is because CBGA produces three major cannabinoid lines: THCA, CBDA and CBCA. Then, those cannabinoids eventually become THC, CBD, and CBC respectively. CBGA may also convert into CBG. CBGA has been studied in relation to Covid-19 and is believed to have unique health and wellness benefits. See study here: Cannabinoids Block Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 and the Emerging Variants.

CBG (cannabigerol)

---------------------

What is CBG? CBG is is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid that is found in hemp and cannabis plants. It is often called the "mother of all cannabinoids" because it turns into other cannabinoids as it matures.
Like CBD oil, CBG oil is extracted from hemp flowers and made into a variety of wellness products. What is CBG good for? What is CBG used for? CBG is known to have a variety of potential benefits. It relieves discomfort, soreness, and inflammation after exercise. CBG is good for stress relief, promoting calm, and is being studied in animal models of many different diseases. CBG can be consumed in the form of CBG flower, CBG oil tinctures, CBG gummies and in many other products.

CBN (cannabinol)

---------------------

What is CBN? CBN cannabinoid is found in hemp and cannabis plants. CBN is created when psychoactive THC ages or oxidizes. Unlike THC, CBN does not have psychoactive effects unless it is taken in very large doses. What is CBN used for? Many people like to take CBN for sleep and believe that it is the most sedative cannabinoid. CBN may help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, especially when combined with other cannabinoids or terpenes that promote relaxation and sleep. CBN also promotes relaxation and relief from discomfort and inflammation after exercise. What is CBN in weed? CBN forms in older weed when it is exposed to air and heat. This may be why people find older weed to be more sedating.

Certificate of Analysis (COA)

--------------------------------

This is a document that shows the results of lab testing for contaminants and cannabinoid potency. The COA is issued by the laboratory that performed the testing. Reviewing the COA is important as it can help consumers avoid fake or contaminated products. A reputable company will always provide a COA from an independent third-party accredited laboratory for each batch of every product they make.

CO2 Extraction

-----------------

The carbon-dioxide extraction process is a safe, natural way to extract CBD and other cannabinoids from hemp. In this process, pressurized carbon dioxide is used to pull the desired cannabinoids from the plant material. The CO2 is then released, leaving behind a clean extract. This method is often chosen because it produces a purer product than some other extraction methods.

Delta-8-THC (Delta-8-Tetrahydrocannabinol)

---------------------------------------------------------

There is a lot of confusion around the different forms of THC. Many people ask what is Delta-8-THC or what is D8 THC? Referred to by both names, it is a cannabinoid that is manufactured from hemp-derived CBD. First,
CBD is extracted from hemp, which is legal across the United States. The CBD is then turned into a psychoactive compound that is very similar to "regular" cannabis-derived Delta-9-THC. Delta-8-THC is said to be about half to two-thirds as intoxicating as Delta-9-THC. Although hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal at the federal level, the state-level legal status of Delta-8-THC is unclear. Many states have made it illegal or are trying to ban it due to its psychoactive properties.

Delta-9-THC (Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol)

-------------------------------------------------------

Commonly known by the abbreviation THC, this is the main cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp that has psychoactive effects. It is the compound responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana. THC is
also known for its many health and wellness benefits, which is why it is the main cannabinoid used in medical cannabis products. Potential benefits include relief from nausea, discomfort, and inflammation. THC is also being studied for other potential benefits. Across the United States, the law varies greatly over THC. In some states, it is illegal, while in others THC products (including cannabis flower, THC distllate, THC gummies and THC chocolate) can be purchased in dispensaries with a medical cannabis card. In a few states, anyone 21 years and older can purchase THC products in cannabis dispensaries.

Endocannabinoid

---------------------

Endocannabinoids are molecules that are produced by the human body and interact with the human endocannabinoid system. The most well-known endocannabinoid is anandamide, which is responsible for the
"bliss" molecule. It was the first endocannabinoid to be discovered. Hemp and cannabis plants are rich in cannabinoids which can interact with our human endocannabinoid system. This is how hemp and cannabis products affect our mood, hormones, sleep and more.

Endocannabinoid System

-------------------------------

What is the Endocannabinoid System? The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a network of receptors in the body that interact with cannabinoids. The ECS is believed to be responsible for many physiological and
psychological functions including mood, energy levels, memory, stress response and more. The ECS is also responsible for the "high" people feel when taking THC and the calming effect they feel when taking CBD.

Entourage Effect

--------------------

What is the entourage effect? The entourage effect is a phenomenon where the various compounds in cannabis or hemp work together to produce a stronger effect than any one of the compounds alone. This includes the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds found in cannabis. For example, CBD oil is thought to be more effective when taken with other cannabinoids like THC and CBN. This is because all of the cannabinoids and terpenes in work together to create the "entourage effect."

Ethanol Extraction

---------------------

Ethanol extraction is a process that uses alcohol to extract cannabinoids from hemp or cannabis. This is the most common way to make CBD oil and other cannabinoid products. During ethanol extraction, the alcohol dissolves the cannabinoids from the plant matter. The resulting liquid is then strained and the cannabinoids are separated from the plant material. The ethanol is then evaporated, leaving behind a CBD oil or other cannabinoid
product.

Extraction

-------------

Extraction is the process of removing cannabinoids from hemp or cannabis. This can be done using a variety of methods including ethanol extraction and CO2 extraction. The resulting extract contains cannabinoids in a concentrated form and can be used to make CBD oil (or other cannabinoid oil) tinctures, edibles and other products.

Farm Bill

-----------

The Farm Bill is a piece of legislation that regulates agriculture and food in the United States. The most recent Farm Bill, the 2018 Farm Bill, made industrial hemp legal at the federal level in the United States. This allows farmers to grow hemp and CBD producers to extract CBD from hemp for products like CBD oil tinctures, CBD edibles and more. Under the Farm Bill, industrial hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC.

Full Spectrum CBD

---------------------

What is full spectrum CBD? It is CBD oil that contains all the cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant. Full spectrum CBD oil usually has a light green, yellow or brownish color and is said to have a "full" flavor. It is also thought to provide a more "complete" array of benefits than CBD isolate.

Hemp

--------

Hemp is a variety of cannabis that contains little or no THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Hemp was made legal in the United States at the federal level with the 2018 Farm Bill. Hemp is also legal in many other countries. CBD is extracted from hemp for its health and wellness benefits. Hemp can also be used for its fiber and even turned into a form of concrete, known as hempcrete.

Hemp Seed Oil

-----------------

Hemp seed oil is anoil extracted from the seeds of hemp. Hemp seed oil is high in fatty acids and contains many beneficial nutrients including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. What is CBD hemp seed oil? Like MCT coconut oil, hemp seed oil is often used as a carrier oil for CBD and other cannabinoids. When CBD and hemp seed oil are combined, it is called CBD hemp seed oil. However, on its own, hemp seed oil offers none of the wellness benefits or calming effects that CBD oil or other cannabinoid oils offer.

Marijuana

------------

Marijuana is a term that refers to female Cannabis sativa plants that produce flowers containing
high levels of psychoactive THC. Marijuana can be used for recreational purposes to get high or for medicinal purposes for nausea, discomfort, sleep and more. Marijuana is not legal at the federal level in the United States. However, it is legal in some states and can be used for medical or recreational purposes. CBD oil and other cannabinoids are often extracted from the hemp variety of marijuana for their health and wellness benefits.

Microdosing

--------------

Microdosing is the act of taking very small doses of a substance, usually a drug, for the purpose
of improving mental or physical function. With CBD or CBG, this could mean taking smaller doses of CBD oil or CBG oil than what is typically recommended but taking them more frequently. This can be helpful for keeping stable levels of CBD or CBG in one's system for their balancing properties and continued
relief from discomfort.

Organic

---------

Organic is a term used to describe foods and products that are made from farming methods that restrict the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, or other harmful ingredients. These methods promote the health of both the consumer and the environment.

Phytocannabinoid

--------------------

What is phytocannabinoid? Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids that are found in hemp and cannabis plants. The most well-known phytocannabinoids are CBD and THC. Hemp and cannabis plants are rich in phytocannabinoids, which can interact with our human endocannabinoid system. This is how hemp and cannabis products affect our mood, hormones, sleep and more.

Psychoactive

---------------

Psychoactive refers to a substance that induces a change in mental state or altered consciousness. The primary psychoactive substance found in cannabis is THC. Non-psychoactive cannabinoids include: CBC, CBDA, CBDV, CBD, CBG, CBN, and THCV.

Rare Cannabinoids

----------------------

What are rare cannabinoids? They are natural compounds found in hemp and cannabis plants that offer unique health and wellness properties. They are referred to as rare or minor cannabinoids because they occur in such small quantities in the plants. However, thanks to advances in breeding and extracting, they can now be
produced in greater quantities. There are more than 100 known cannabinoids with the most popular being: CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, CBDV, and THCV. Each one offers unique properties. For example: CBDA is good for nausea, CBC for elevating mood, CBG for relieving discomfort, CBN for improving sleep, THCV for energy and appetite suppression, and CBDV is being studied for autism spectrum disorder. This is because they all have unique effects on the human endocannabinoid system.

Terpenes

---------

What is terpenes oil? Terpenes are molecules that are found in hemp, cannabis, and other plants. These molecules interact with the human endocannabinoid system and are responsible for many of the different scents and flavors of the plants. Some terpenes such as linalool and myrcene are known to have relaxing and sedative effects. Others such as limonene and pinene are known to be stimulating and energizing. CBD products often include a blend of terpenes to enhance the effects of the cannabinoids. Terpenes also give cannabis strains their unique scents, flavors, and effects.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)

-----------------------------

What is THC? THC usually refers to Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol or Delta-9-THC. It is a cannabinoid that is found in hemp and cannabis plants. It is the molecule that is responsible for the "high" feeling associated with marijuana. THC has a variety of potential medical benefits, including relieving pain, nausea,
and anxiety. However, it also has psychoactive effects that can be unpleasant for some people. THC is available in various products, including flower, concentrates, vape pens, and edibles. Delta-9-THC is extracted from cannabis
plants and must be sold in the United States in cannabis or medical marijuana dispensaries. However, manufacturers have found a way around that law and are synthesizing THC from hemp-derived CBD. This is in the form of Delta-8-THC, Delta-10-THC, THC-O and HHC. These products appear to be federally legal but
are increasingly being outlawed by states due to their psychoactive properties. They are also less regulated and often undergo harsher chemical conversion processes than cannabis-derived Delta-9-THC.

THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin)

----------------------------------

What is THCV? THCV cannabinoid is found in hemp and cannabis plants. Although THCV sounds very similar to THC it has very different effects. THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis and is known for making people hungry. Conversely, THCV acts like a stimulant, increasing energy and suppressing appetite. This is why many people turn to THCV for weight loss. It may help them eat less and support increased exercise. Scientific studies show that THCV may be useful for combatting nicotine addiction and addictions to other substances.

THCV was first discovered in cannabis sativa plants in Africa and is found in higher concentrations in cannabis strain including Doug's Varin, Durban Poison, and Pineapple Purps. However, if THCV is combined with THC it may lose some of its stimulating, appetite suppressing properties. THCV oil can also be consumed on its own or combined with CBD in the form of THCV tinctures and THCV edibles such as THCV gummies.

Topical

----------

What is topical CBD? Topical CBD is CBD that is applied to the skin. It can be found in many forms,
including lotions, balms, and oils. CBD topicals are said to provide relief from discomfort and inflammation after exercise.What is topical CBD? Topical CBD is CBD that is applied to the skin. It can be found in many forms,
