What Is CBD?

CBD stands for Cannabidiol, which is one of the naturally occurring components and groups of molecules called Cannabinoids that can be found in the plant Cannabis Sativa L. Hemp is a specific strain of Cannabis Sativa that tends to feature lower concentrations of THC and higher concentrations of CBD. In terms of percentages, CBD is one of the most prominent parts of the plant and comprises upwards of 40% of the plant. The plant itself features over 100 other cannabinoids that each have their unique properties. 

Out of these 100 or so components, CBD and THC are often the most readily recognizable, due in part to the fact that they do have the highest concentrations. Although CBD and THC are often misconstrued as being the same thing, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound of the Cannabis Sativa L plant, which means that it brings you a host of benefits without altering your state, or inducing a high. CBD itself works in tandem with the body’s endocannabinoid system and helps foster the maintenance of healthy cells within the body.

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD is extracted from the Cannabis Sativa L plant in a variety of ways, and it is then processed and developed into a variety of edible forms. Hemp is a specific strain of Cannabis Sativa, one that features lower amounts of THC and higher amounts of CBD, which makes it a prime source for the hemp-based CBD that Hempzone specializes in. CBD oils and tinctures are extracted from hemp plants that prominently feature very low levels of THC and high concentrations of CBD. 

At Hempzone, our CBD oil comprises negligible amounts of THC that are at 0.3% THC or lower, depending on the kind of CBD oil/tincture that you get. The effect of your CBD oil, as well as the percentage of CBD in it,  varies based on the method used for extraction, the type of CBD oil it is, as well as the preparation method used to make the oil. 

What Is The Difference Between Hemp and Marijuana?

Due to their scientific classifications and close scientific relations, as well as the fact that they fall under the same genus of plant, hemp and marijuana are often confused with one another. However, although hemp and marijuana come from the same species of plant they are drastically different. When it comes to hemp, especially the specific kind of hemp that CBD oil is made from, it only comes from one type of plant, which is Cannabis Sativa L. However, marijuana can be traced back to various genera of Cannabis including Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Ruderalis, and Cannabis Sativa. 

Even though marijuana can be derived from Cannabis Sativa, the specific strain that hemp is derived from is grown, harvested, and used much differently. For instance, the hemp plant that is used to obtain CBD oil grows with a minimal amount of flowering buds, coupled with very high concentrations of CBD as opposed to THC. On the other hand, marijuana plants tend to have many more flowering buds that give rise to much higher concentrations of THC and lower, negligible, percentages of CBD. These key differences are the elements that define hemp and marijuana. Hemp-based CBD is meant to give your body and it’s endocannabinoid system a host of benefits without subjecting you to psychoactive effects and the feeling of being high. Hempzone uses industrial hemp to create an outstanding blend of CBD oils and tinctures. Industrial hemp simply means that the hemp base used, has negligible amounts of THC in it, typically less than 0.3%.

Is CBD Oil Legal?

Since CBD is a naturally occurring compound within industrial hemp that features high CBD percentages and low levels of THC, a prescription or license is not required to buy hemp-based CBD. So yes, it is perfectly legal to buy CBD from Hempzone. Due to the very low levels of THC within hemp-based CBD, it does not induce a high when ingested, and this is part of the reason why it is legal in all 50 states. As of now, there are no restrictions on the sale and consumption of CBD oil in the United States, and that is the case for most of the world as well. 

What Is The Best Way To Use or Take CBD?

Hemp-based CBD comes in a variety of different forms. Some of the most common ways for CBD to be used and ingested are oils or tinctures. These oils and tinctures are primarily geared toward oral consumption. For some people, the taste can be a little off-putting, but that is easily remedied by mixing the CBD oil or tincture in with your favorite beverage. 

In addition to oils and tinctures, there are also other creative ways for CBD to be used and consumed. Some of these methods include creams and lotions for topical application or even CBD infused gummies that are taken orally. In an industry that is rapidly growing, there are new ways to take CBD that pop up every day. The most important thing to be mindful of is that there isn’t any rule when it comes to consuming CBD, what works for someone else may not necessarily work best for you. Figure out what your specific needs are and choose a CBD solution that is crafted to help you. 

Is CBD Psychoactive Or Will I Get High?

This is a question that a lot of people have, and this is because of the close relationship between the hemp plant and the marijuana plant. At Hempzone, our main mission is wellness, and we only want to bring you products that improve your overall well being.

CBD is not psychoactive, and it will not get you high or induce a high. The reason behind this is rooted in the concentrations of CBD and THC that exist within the hemp plant. Since Hempzone CBD products are sourced and crafted with industrial hemp, they contain a negligible concentration of THC (0.3% THC and below) that is nowhere near enough to even induce a high and be considered psychoactive. Also, depending on the spectrum of CBD that you purchase, there may no THC at all found within it.
