1. What is CBD?

CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is one of over 113 naturally occurring compounds called phytocannabinoids found in the industrial hemp plant. Unlike THC, the compound that causes a “high,” CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t alter your state of mind. 

2. What is Industrial Hemp?

Industrial hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Unlike marijuana, hemp contains very low levels of THC (0.3% or less by law) and higher concentrations of CBD. It has over 25,000 known uses, including oils, textiles, biofuel, and CBD products.

3. How is Industrial Hemp different from Marijuana?

Although both hemp and marijuana come from the Cannabis sativa species, they are different in their chemical makeup. Industrial hemp is grown primarily for its fiber, seeds, and CBD content, with very low THC levels, while marijuana is cultivated for its psychoactive effects due to its higher THC content.

4. What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are organic, naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant. There are at least 113 different cannabinoids, each with unique effects. These compounds are concentrated in the resin of the hemp plant’s flowers. CBD is just one of these cannabinoids, known for its non-psychoactive properties and potential health benefits.

5. What are Endocannabinoids?

Endocannabinoids are cannabinoids produced naturally by the human body. These compounds play a role in regulating various physiological processes by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the body. This interaction, often enhanced by consuming CBD and other phytocannabinoids, can lead to various effects, known as the “Entourage Effect.”

6. What is the “Entourage Effect”?

The “Entourage Effect” refers to the synergistic interaction between various cannabinoids (like CBD, CBG, and others) and other compounds found in hemp. This interaction can enhance the overall effects of CBD, making it more effective than when taken alone.

7. What are the most common cannabinoids found in industrial hemp?

The most common cannabinoids found in industrial hemp include:

• CBD (Cannabidiol)
• CBN (Cannabinol)
• CBG (Cannabigerol) 
• CBC (Cannabichromene)
• CBL (Cannabicyclol) 
• CBV (Cannabivarin)
  
  

8. Will CBD or Industrial Hemp Products Get Me High?

No, CBD and industrial hemp products will not get you high. By law, industrial hemp must contain 0.3% or less THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects in marijuana. The levels of THC in hemp are too low to cause any intoxicating effects.

9. Is Industrial Hemp Legal?

Yes, industrial hemp is legal in the United States and in over 40 countries worldwide. However, it must contain 0.3% or less THC to comply with legal standards.
