What is CBD Oil?

CBD oil is one of many cannabinoids found in cannabis. Also known as cannabidiol, CBD oil is widely recognized for its possible benefits to the health of both humans and animals.

 

Cannabis is the genus name for both marijuana and hemp, and the term itself is not necessarily interchangeable with marijuana. In fact, almost all CBD oil today comes from industrial hemp, which contains negligible amounts of THC, which is the cannabinoid responsible for causing a high. Most strains of agricultural hemp are rich in CBD while only having less than 0.03 percent THC, making them perfect for extracting CBD oil.

 

 

 

How does CBD Oil Work?

CBD oil works in conjunction with the endocannabinoid system. Because CBD is a cannabinoid, it helps to supplement the body’s natural cannabinoids, in turn strengthening the endocannabinoid system.

 

In other words, the endocannabinoid system is a vast system of cannabinoid receptors. Furthermore, the body itself produces its own natural cannabinoids. CBD oil or cannabidiol, in general, is known as a phytocannabinoid (plant-based cannabinoid) which can help to supplement the endocannabinoid system (ECS). ​

Is CBD Legal?

CBD oil is entirely legal in all 50 states. The FDA considers hemp and hemp-derived extracts to be food-based products. As such, there are no legal restrictions on their importation, production, sale or consumption in the United States, as well as most of the industrialized world. Hemp oil is legal in over 40 countries around the world. Hemp oil is consumed by millions of people around the world, and this number is rapidly rising as an increasing number of studies explore its many potential health benefits.

 

​

What are Terpenes in CBD?

Terpenes provide CBD oils with distinct flavors and scents. CBD-flavored terpene oils can also have physiological effects on the human body. Many CBD oils bring together terpenes to create an “entourage effect” with the compounds working together to produce specific physiological and psychological effects.

Is the source of my CBD Important?

When purchasing CBD oil, you also want to make sure that you know from where it is sourced. We source all of our CBD oil from soil rich hemp farms in Kentucky, Colorado, and Scandinavia. Also, the best CBD oil is extracted with a process called supercritical CO2 extraction which retains all of the naturally occurring beneficial molecules found in the hemp plant.
