That's a great question — and one many people are asking these days. First off, CBD is the acronym used for cannabidiol, a chemical found in the Cannabis sativa plant (marijuana or hemp). It's non-psychoactive — unlike THC — meaning it won't get you high. Hemp is a type of cannabis grown specifically with a higher level of CBD and very low level of THC. We like to say Healthy not high!
If you've ever taken biology, you've probably learned about a few major systems in the body — the nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system, immune system — to name a few. But you most likely never had a pop quiz on the Endocannabinoid system. Learn more about this relatively recent discovery in the human body and why it matters to you.
Although CBD is naturally abundant in the hemp plant, extracting it from the plant in quantities high enough to experience hemp’s benefits is a bit of a process. There are three main types of hemp extraction - Steam Distillation, Solvent Extraction and Carbon Dioxide or CO2 Extraction. While each process has its benefits and drawbacks, we always choose the cleanest, highest quality extraction methods – predominantly CO2 extraction. This method creates the highest quality hemp extract, with a process that's also safer and better for the environment.
