What is CBD?

CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive plant cannabinoid found in cannabis. It makes up 40% of the plant. CBD is not to be confused with THC. CBD, unlike THC, does not cause any behavioral or psychoactive effects. It is safe and well tolerated in humans. CBD can actually counter the psychoactive effects and memory impairment of THC.

Is it legal?

Our products are made from industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is bred with trace to zero amounts of THC and is rich in CBD. Industrial hemp is not used as a recreational drug like marijuana is because it cannot get you high. Industrial hemp is legal to be grown for hemp products and commodities in foreign countries.

The FDA considers hemp oil produced from industrial hemp to be a dietary supplement, so if you live in the USA, it is legal to purchase and consume our CBD because it contains zero to trace amounts of THC. If you want to buy Cannabidiol in medical marijuana, you need to be in a state that allows legal medical marijuana and obtain a prescription.

CBD as a dietary supplement

Many users have reported using CBD for relieving a variety of ailments. When experiencing symptoms of disorder in the body, it is up to the individual to become empowered by researching and talking to different health care providers to decide what is the right course of treatment. It is important to know that CBD is still under study. Many findings are still at preclinical stages. But it seems that CBD will make huge advancements in the medical field if put to clinical trials. We cannot make any claims of whether or not CBD-rich hemp oil can help any ailments as our products are sold as nutritional supplements or personal care products in accordance with federal regulations.

What Are Cannabinoids?

So what are cannabinoids anyway? Scientists have identified close to 500 phytochemicals in Hemp plants. Many of them, hundreds in fact, are Terpenoids. These are the compounds that give fruits, flowers and herbs many of their desirable aromas, flavors and other special properties. A special sub-class of Terpenoids are the Cannabinoids. There are over 60 of them found in Hemp/Cannabis which is the only place they are found. This is one of the many reasons Hemp stands alone in the plant kingdom, it literally is a treasure chest of nutrition without equal.

What is CANNABINOID SYNERGY

The Cannabinoids each have their own individual properties which are creating plenty of excitement in the scientific community. Besides the Terpenoids and Cannabinoids there are many other vitamins, minerals, phytosterols, pigments, proteins, enzymes, essential sugars, polyphenol antioxidants, flavonoids and essential fatty acids. The oil appears black but it is really a blend of intense colors. It is important to know that while isolated Cannabinoids have their own characteristic properties, the different compounds have synergistic effects when the whole symphony of phytonutrients are consumed together. Synergy means that the combined effect is greater than the sum of the individual parts. Another way of thinking of this is 1+1. You know 1+1 = 2. When Hemp phytonutrients are consumed together, as they naturally occur in the plant, then it is as if 1+1 now equals 3, or 4 or more!

What are synthetic Cannabinoids ?

The unique health properties of Hemp have been known to modern scientists for over 50 years, so (us) naturally, attempts were made to produce synthetic versions of isolated Cannabinoid molecules in an attempt to create pharmaceutical drugs. Unsurprisingly, as with all synthetic chemicals, the desired properties are often reduced significantly while undesirable side-effects can abound as is confirmed in the United States Government Patent #6,630,507 “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants & Neuroprotectants.” If health and happiness, not side-effects are what you seek, best stick to real plants – the original design was already perfect to begin with.

The Endocannabinoid System

Every major civilization in history has recorded Hemp as #1 on its list of important plants. The ancient Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks and Romans all revered it as an incomparable source of food and medicine.

In addition to the long list of properties that Hemp’s Cannabinoids posses, modern science has discovered what may be the most exciting one. We are hard-wired with a system of Cannabinoid receptors throughout our brain and body. When these receptors are activated they permit 2-way communication between body systems, something that the science books had previously taught was impossible.

This system is called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)

Which literally means “the Cannabinoid system inside the body”. By regularly supplying our ECS with the nutrients it was designed for, vital communications can be restored between the control centers of the body and every other system.

Due to the persecution of Hemp and Cannabis in the last 80 years, most humans living today have gone their entire lives without feeding their bodies these raw materials. You might imagine it like a large orchestra being made to play blind-folded. They can’t see the conductor and they can’t read the music. Sometimes they get it right but most of the time it’s a mess.

Bringing the body back into harmony could be as simple as replacing this lost nutrition.

4000 Year Old Endocannabinoid System

There is one place in the body where there are no Cannabinoid receptors – the brain stem. The brain stem is the control center for the heart and breathing. What this means is that it is not possible for Cannabinoids to overwhelm those systems and cause them to shut down. This is why in 4000 years no one has ever died from consuming Hemp.

What Are The CBD Oil Benefits?

CBD is short for Cannabidiol which by all scientific accounts appears to be the ROCKSTAR of the Cannabinoid world. It is the most predominant Cannabinoid in Hemp and is endowed with many beneficial properties.

In its patent (#6,630,507) titled CANNABINOIDS AS ANTIOXIDANTS AND NEUROPROTECTANTS the US Government makes many impressive claims about CBD stating that:

“Cannabinoids are potent antioxidants…they easily penetrate tissues giving them the ability to enter the central nervous system and brain.”
“Non-psychoactive Cannabinoids such as CBD are particularly advantageous as they are non-toxic…and exhibit unique antioxidant properties without the undesirable effects of THC.”
“The antioxidant strength of CBD is significantly greater than that of either Vitamin C or Vitamin E.”

Safety And CBD Oil Benefits

CBD Hemp Oil is safe for the whole family. According to prominent Cannabis physician and researcher Dr. William Courtney, non-psychoactive high CBD Cannabis should be considered a dietary essential.
