Cannabidiol Explained

What and Why?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the hemp plant. It is a member of the phytocannabinoid family. Phytocannabinoids are plant-based compounds that work naturally with specific receptors in the human body. These receptors are part of the ECS, or endocannabinoid system, which maintains homeostasis, or balance, in our bodies. The ECS helps to regulate appetite and physical sensation, support cognitive function, and stabilize mood. CBD is extracted from the hemp plant and then added to a variety of common household supplements – capsules, tinctures, massage oils and even chewable gummies.

CBD? THC? Are they Different?

CBD is Not Marijuana

You may be surprised to know that hemp and marijuana are both from the plant whose scientific name is Cannabis sativa. The difference between the two is based on their content. Cannabis bred specifically for low THC content is called hemp. Conversely, cannabis bred for high THC content is commonly known as marijuana.

Legally, the two plants are separately defined by the Federal Farm Bill of 2018, which establishes “Industrial Hemp” as a Cannabis sativa plant with a THC concentration below 0.3 percent by weight. All of our products are grown from American hemp meeting this classification.

Is it Good? Is it Safe?

Quality Matters

Hemp is a bioaccumulator. That means it tends to absorb anything in its environment, including pesticides or heavy metals from the soil. This can be common with imported hemp. If your CBD product doesn’t have lab testing available to confirm the absence of these contaminants, its quality and provenance are likely to be suspect. You should only buy CBD products that use domestic hemp and are tested by independent, ISO-certified labs. At Beyond Botanicals, we put Transparency on a pedestal. It’s one of our core values, and it guides every effort we make in presenting the best possible CBD products.
