CBD FAQ

Full-spectrum cbd extract is growing in popularity as an alternative remedy for a wide range of needs. It is important to know that hemp does not produce an altered state of consciousness because the levels of THC are far too low; however, consumers still often confuse hemp seed oil with full-spectrum hemp extract.

Three decades ago scientists identified and mapped two groups of molecules, known as receptors, in the CNS (central nervous system) and in the immune system that help cannabinoids bind to cells. They found that the brain already contains small amounts of its own naturally occurring cannabinoids that also bind to these same receptors (CB1 and CB2). Full-spectrum hemp extract is one of the cannabinoids that assists in essentially unlocking the incredible healing power of these receptors in the endocannabinoid system.

Full-spectrum hemp extract is a non-psychoactive combination of cannabinoids, omega fatty acids, lipids, terpenes, and plant matter. It is responsible for many of the health benefits attributed to cannabis. Our proprietary full-spectrum hemp extract formulations are cultivated from the highest quality ingredients and are consistently tested for their potency and purity.

We do not sell marijuana or any products that contain more THC than the legal amount which is less than 0.3%.

In 2004, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the naturally occurring cannabinoids contained in non psychoactive varieties of cannabis (industrial hemp) are outside of the regulatory power of the DEA after the DEA attempted to enforce a zero tolerance policy on the trace amounts of THC contained in Hemp products being sold at the time, such as nutritional hemp seed oil. One can view these trace amount of THC being very similar to the trace amount of morphine and codeine found within poppy seeds used for baked goods. This zero tolerance policy was challenged by the HIA (Hemp Industries Association) who won the ruling in 2004, which was subsequently left unchallenged by the Bush administration and DEA. Industrial hemp is defined internationally as having 0.3% THC or less by dry weight.

Full-spectrum CBD extract is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same pathways as THC. These pathways, called CB1 receptors, are highly concentrated in the brain and are responsible for the mind-altering effects of THC.

A 2011 review published in Current Drug Safety concludes that full-spectrum hemp extract “does not interfere with several psychomotor and psychological functions.” The authors add that several studies suggest that full-spectrum hemp extract is “well tolerated and safe” even at high doses.

There is absolutely no reliable scientific evidence that THC is necessary to synergize the effects of full-spectrum hemp extract in the body.

You can also view it like taking NSAIDs. If you experience physical symptoms and take an NSAID, your body will likely respond by decreasing your level of pain. Similarly, this concept can be applied to taking full-spectrum CBD extract products.

This entirely depends upon why you are wanting to take full-spectrum CBD extract. A good place to start is 1-2 servings per day. It is recommended to increase or decrease slowly until optimal effects are reached. We generally suggest experimentation. What seems to be effective may vary greatly depending on the individual.

Your body will build up a storage of full-spectrum CBD extract in the body, which is unlike most chemicals. Unlike alcohol, which is usually absent from the bloodstream and body within 24-48 hours after ingestion, full-spectrum CBD extract is fat soluble and may stay bound to the cells of the body for weeks. This is important to know because after a few weeks of using full-spectrum CBD extract a lesser amount may be just as effective as the original serving amount.

Currently, there are no known cases of overdosing with full-spectrum CBD extract.
