Frequently Asked Questions

Q:   What is CBD?

• Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a thousand-year history as a medicine. CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids” unique to cannabis that endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile. CBD has shown great potential for cravings associated with substance abuse. 

Q:   How does CBD Work?

• Despite extensive research, how CBD works is not yet entirely understood. It’s thought, however, that CBD binds to receptors in the brain and throughout the body to help balance the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which in turn steadies important bodily functions from sleep, to mood, to appetite, to memory and pain sensation, addictive cravings. A balanced ECS helps our body maintain homeostasis, or equilibrium, in response to physical, mental and environmental changes and stressors. Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids to support this system, but like with any nutrient, can become deficient and require extra support from time to time. CBD helps block the breakdown of our endocannabinoids, thereby allowing our bodies to draw on more of what it’s already naturally producing.

Q:   Is all CBD the same?

Q:   What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana?

• Hemp and marijuana share the genus and species name of Cannabis sativa, but have a unique genetic profile. Typically, hemp is very fibrous with long stalks and few flowering buds, while marijuana plants are usually smaller, bushier, and full of flowering buds. However, newer industrial hemp varieties in the USA are being bred to have more flowers and higher yields of cannabinoids and terpenes. Typically, marijuana has a high amount of THC and a low amount of CBD, while hemp, naturally, has higher amounts of CBD with small amounts of THC. The cannabinoid profile of hemp is for people looking for benefits from cannabis without the high.

While hemp-derived CBD is legal, CBD derived from marijuana is not legal federally. Therefore, CBD made from 'marijuana' with high levels of THC is only legal if your state has legalized marijuana.
