What is the definition of CBD?

  • CBD stands for cannabidiol – the second most common cannabinoid found in cannabis. THC is the other most common cannabinoid.

What is CBD?

  • Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second major cannabinoid found in cannabis plants like hemp and marijuana. Unlike its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive. The effects of CBD include: alerting at low doses, sedating at high doses, reduces pain, relaxes muscle spasms, potent anti-inflammatory, stops nausea/vomiting, reduces anxiety/depression and more.

So, you're saying CBD won't get me high?

  • Nope. The cannabis plant is made up of two main players: CBD and THC. CBD is the non-psychoactive portion of the plant, so what that means is you won’t have any effects like euphoria. Some users report feeling calmer and more relaxed from CBD products, but this is not the same as the “high” experienced with THC.

How to take CBD oil?

  • Most CBD products are taken orally via oil drops that are placed under the tongue and held for 60 seconds before swallowing. Topical creams and ointments are also effective, as is smoking or vaporizing CBD-rich marijuana strains like ACDC or Charlotte’s Web.

What does CBD do?

  • CBD IS COMMONLY USED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM PAIN, ANXIETY, STRESS AND INSOMNIA. RESEARCH IS STILL ONGOING INTO THE BENEFITS OF CBD FOR THE HUMAN BODY. WHAT IS KNOWN IS THAT CBD IS SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE TO ENDOCANNABINOIDS WHICH ARE PRODUCED BY THE HUMAN BODY BY THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM (EDS).

How long does CBD last?

  • CBD stands for cannabidiol – the second most common cannabinoid found in cannabis. THC is the other most common cannabinoid.

What does it mean when CBD oil is full spectrum?

  • Also known as whole-plant cannabidiol (CBD) oil, full-spectrum CBD oil is cannabis oil with high concentrations of CBD, as well as all other cannabinoids, terpenes, and trace amounts of THC found in the cannabis plant. The best full-spectrum CBD oil is one that contains all the cannabis compounds from within the cannabis plant. As long as it’s hemp-derived, the THC will be less than 0.3%. This ensures that it can have no psychoactive effect on the person taking the product, whilst boosting the potential for the entourage effect. 

More About Full-Spectrum CBD Oil:

  • When a CBD oil product claims to be the result of a full-spectrum extraction process, that means the plant’s original terpenes and other types of cannabinoids, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and trace amounts of THC, have not been filtered out during the extraction process. 

Full-Spectrum CBD Oil vs. CBD Isolate?

  • When a CBD oil product claims to be the result of a full-spectrum extraction process, that means the plant’s original terpenes and other types of cannabinoids, including cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), and trace amounts of THC, have not been filtered out during the extraction process.

What does entourage effect mean?

  • Full Spectrum CBD is produced by extracting the all cannabinoids and terpenes found present in the Cannabis plant, including THC. Because Full Spectrum CBD contains a full range of cannabinoids and terpenes, it can deliver a powerful entourage effect with benefits that will far exceed those delivered by CBD isolate.

Who discovered the entourage effect?

  • Shimon Ben-Shabat are the two scientists credited with understanding what would later become known as the entourage effect. Dr. Mechoulam had previously discovered that the human body produces cannabinoids, which work with cannabinoid receptors in what we now refer to as the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

What does it mean when CBD oil is broad spectrum?

  • This is CBD oil which has some of the additional cannabis compounds included. This will usually include many beneficial terpenes and possibly other cannabinoids like CBG (considered a minor cannabinoid however it may still be a beneficial component of the entourage effect) or CBC (cannabichromene), an abundant cannabinoid within the cannabis plant. There is generally zero THC in broad spectrum CBD oil.
