What is hemp?
Hemp, also known as industrial hemp, is a botanical class of cannabis sativa. It is grown for both industrial and medicinal use. Unlike the cannabis sativa variety, known commonly as marijuana, hemp is federally regulated to contain only 0.3% THC, the cannabinoid found abundantly in marijuana that is responsible for the ‘high’ or psychoactive effect. At the low level of 0.3% THC content, hemp does not produce a high, although it does have both physical and mental health benefits.
What are cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds produced in the resin glands of the hemp plant.
There are 110+ cannabinoids identified in the hemp plant. Cannabinoids are the key compounds that are attributed to the many health and wellness benefits of hemp.
What is CBD?
CBD is one of the most researched cannabinoids in the cannabis sativa plant, along with THC. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid.
CBD is found in higher concentrations in the hemp plant than in the marijuana variety of cannabis sativa. Research has identified many natural health and wellness benefits of the CBD cannabinoid when taken internally, in the form of CBD-rich products like tinctures, gummies, tablets (edibles) and more.
CBD topicals in the form of salves, creams and lotions are also beneficial for release of body discomforts like tight, sore muscles and joints.
Will CBD make me feel ‘high’?
CBD will not make you feel ‘high’. The low THC content (the cannabinoid that creates psychoactivity, is too low (0.3% THC) in hemp to create a ‘high’. CBD does create feelings of gentle calm and release; however, it does not create the psychoactivity associated with THC.
What are ‘minor cannabinoids’ and are they beneficial?
There are over 110 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant, with CBD and THC often referred to as primary cannabinoids, due to their 'most researched’ status. However, there are other cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, CBC, THCv, Delta 8 THC, that are called ‘minor cannabinoids’, that also have many health and wellness benefits.
Each cannabinoid has different properties that provide benefits and effects. As an example, CBG, which is known for being a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, promotes mental clarity and focus along with heightened motivation, along with many other beneficial effects.
CBG and CBD have many similar benefits and yet their mechanism of how they work in the body is different. It has also been discovered that CBD and CBG together are more effective than each cannabinoid individually.
Although each cannabinoid has its own unique properties, the cannabinoids naturally present in the plant, known as the full spectrum of cannabinoids, work in synergy with each other to provide optimum benefits.
