Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound that comes from the leaves, stalks, and flowers of industrial hemp or marijuana cannabis. It is the most widely accepted non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp-based CBD extracts should not be confused with CBD from marijuana, even though they both derive from the same plant – all the CBD products on our site contain CBD extracted from industrial hemp.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors located in the mammalian brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors.

There are two main types of receptors in the ECS, CB1, and CB2. CB1 receptors are primarily located in the central nervous system and brains of mammals, and CB2 are generally found in the peripheral nervous system. There are two main cannabinoids mammals produce- 2AG and Anandamide (named after the Sanskrit term “Ananda” which translates to “bliss”).

For hundreds of millions of years every vertebrate on Earth has been equipped with this ECS, a crucial system in the body, and it has been known about in the scientific and medical communities since the 1980’s. However, it’s still not taught about in most medical schools.

Importantly, CBD helps to promote health and balance in the endocannabinoid system, which has been linked to a number of vital processes in the body. In our experience, CBD as a daily supplement has been useful for assisting in general health, stress relief, and life balance.

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp and hemp-derived products are legal to produce, sell, and consume throughout all 50 states. These products must be derived from industrial hemp containing less than 0.3 percent THC. That being said, states can still decide if they want to allow the sale and production of hemp-based products.

Because CBD is a non-intoxicating component from industrial hemp, which legally must have less than 0.3 percent of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), there’s no “high” or euphoric effect as a result of using hemp-derived CBD.

Properties of CBD will vary for each individual depending on height, weight, and the quantity of CBD taken. Because there are no intoxicating ingredients with CBD oil, there is no “high” effect; start with small amounts and gradually increase with each use until reaching desired results. Many people have reported they've had the best success when they used CBD oil consistently over time. It seems to take time to build up in the endocannabinoid system. Typically we recommend taking it daily for 30 days to get the full benifits of CBD.

Tinctures: The most effective way of taking CBD is in a liquid form. Take your personalized dosage in the dropper and place under tongue for 1 min. The liquid is absorbed by the blood vessels under your tongue providing quick effective results.

Edibles: Our Liquid Capsules are the next fastest acting product that we offer as the capsules are filled with CBD oil which will enter you system once the capsule has been digested. Orally consuming CBD Gummies have shown a longer lasting result as they naturally travel slower through the digestive system. Our Edibles allow you to easily take your daily dosage at any time of the day.

Topical Creams and Relief Rubs: This CBD application method is an effective choice in dealing with aches and pains, joint stiffness, as well as skin conditions. Apply a personal amount to the focused area and feel the benefits as it absorbs into your skin. Pets: Edibles and drops for your furry friend. CBD can also provide pets with pain, joint, inflammation and anxiety relief.

Squirt under the tongue and hold for no less than 60 seconds before swallowing.

Generally, we recommend that an average adult use at least 25mg of CBD twice per day. Our tinctures are available in 250mg, 500mg and 1000mg bottles. One dropper full of 250mg tincture has appx. 8.5mg of CBD, a 500mg tincture has appx. 17mg and a 1000mg tincture has appx. 34mg of CBD per dropper full. We recommend starting low and slow, especially if you are new to CBD, and working up to a strength that works best for you.

CBD requires some trial and error to get the right amount for your body. With patience and practice, you should be able to get to that “happy point” within just a few days of working with it.

Full Spectrum CBD oil contains terpenes which are essential oils found in all plants. There are around 200 terpenes in Cannabis they are what give Cannabis it’s distinct aroma and flavor.

Many users believe that they get the greatest beneficial effect from Full Spectrum CBD.

Isolate is CBD which has been processed to remove over 99.9% of THC.

While hemp-based CBD products are manufactured from hemp plants containing less than 0.3% THC, there are still trace amounts. There is a small percentage that consuming CBD may lead to a positive drug test for THC, as it does with any product made from hemp. If this is a significant concern, we advise speaking with your employer or doctor before use.
