CBD 101 - The ABC's of CBD

 

cannabidiol

What is CBD?

CBD is an abbreviation for the cannabinoid Cannabidiol, which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that can be used daily to contribute to overall health and wellness. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds and are found within the hemp plant.                                                   

                                                                                

THC makes me high?

Will CBD get me "high"?

CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid and should not produce a “high” feeling when ingested. While any ingested substance can affect people differently, being non-intoxicating, CBD should not affect your mental state and should promote a clear, calm mind for the user rather than any sense of being "high."

 

CBD can be taken in many form

How do I take it and how much should I take?

CBD can be taken in many forms – capsules, oil drop tinctures, gummies, vaporizers and topicals being some of the more popular options. CBD needs vary from person to person and even from day to day. We recommend starting low and slow until you’ve established the dose that feels right for you. There is also great information on websites such as www.projectcbd.org that can help you learn more about the dosage you need to achieve maximum efficacy.

 

Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract

What is Broad-Spectrum/Whole Plant Hemp Extract?

Broad Spectrum Hemp Extract is an extraction of the whole hemp plant including all the cannabinoids and terpenes originally found in the plant. Cannabinoid and terpene profiles vary with each variety of hemp, so the makeup of a broad-spectrum extract varies as well.  Research is ongoing as to how different cannabinoids and terpenes interact with the body.

What are terpenes?

Terpenes are the essence of smell. When you smell various aromas wafting from beautiful hemp plants what you’re really smelling are the hundreds of terpenes found within the plant that give many plants their characteristic smell. Terpenes serve to protect plants, and in some cases will make them more desirable to humans, leading to increased production of the plant.
