CBD FAQ

 

CBD (or cannabidiol) is one of over 113 cannabinoid compounds derived from the cannabis plant. The most well-known cannabinoid is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Unlike THC, CBD has therapeutic benefits without being psychoactive.

CBD interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system. CBD boosts the function of these receptors, causing them to increase levels of dopamine, and serotonin levels. CBD may also reduce inflammation, treat PTSD, treat skin, and even treat epilepsy. It is also taken daily like a vitamin. The intention is to help with general health and wellness.

There are three main kinds of CBD oil: Full-Spectrum, Broad-Spectrum, and CBD Isolate. These three designations refer to the content in the CBD product.

  • Full-Spectrum CBD has a full breadth of other compounds, including terpenes and 3% THC or less.
  • Broad-Spectrum is much the same only it has had the THC filtered out completely.
  • CBD Isolate is solely CBD and nothing else.
