The medical abbreviation of "CBD" stands for cannabidiol, which is a compound (sometimes referred to as a cannabinoid) derived from the industrial hemp cannabis plant. Cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive component, just one of 100+ phytocannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike the well-known cannabinoid THC, CBD won't “get you high” or produce euphoric, mind-altering effects. The best example of this is our THC-Free line of products. Whether you want an easy to take nano softgel capsule or incredibly flavored oral drops, we have you covered. And if you need topical relief, try our line of low priced, powerful creams, salves and freeze roll-ons to take control of your lifestyle immediately!
CBD gets its name letters in the word: cannabidiol. In addition to learning the proper name behind the acronym, it’s important to understand just how impactful the discovery of CBD has been.
Marijuana usage dates back to at least 2737 BC, when the Emperor Shen Neng of China prescribed marijuana as a treatment tea for various issues. Fast forward to 1492, it’s been suggested that Christopher Columbus brought cannabis into the New World (America). Fast forward even more to 1942 - Roger Adams, an American chemist, successfully isolated the first cannabinoid from the cannabis plant, cannabidiol (CBD).
There are more major cannabis stepping stones we do not mention, to be written about in the future, so stay tuned.
With the discovery of the hemp cannabis plant, dating back millenia, it’s no surprise that researchers and scientists from all over the world have their eyes laser focused on the effects of cannabis, especially CBD. Interestingly enough, the potential effects of CBD are still becoming less unknown and in the foundational stages, thus, the work continues.
CBD has a complicated recent history, so we aren't allowed to tell you anything. But, here is a link to an NIH article that will explain all about the endocannabinoid system: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820295/
CBD does not get you high, if it is hemp-derived cannabidiol, with less than 0.3% THC.
We describe that very specifically because some CBD oils may contain levels of THC as well - these are called full spectrum CBD oils. THC may provide you with euphoric effects, thus, you may feel a high. Many customers prefer to use broad spectrum cbd oils that are THC Free, to ensure they have no risk of consuming THC.
Knowing what is in your CBD products and what part of the plant is the oil derived from is key! CBD that is taken from the hemp plant is considered legal in the US, again, only if it contains little to no THC ( < 0.3%).
Again, CBD is the non-psychoactive compound of the cannabis plant. It does not directly bind with CB1 and CB2 receptors, thus, users don’t feel mind-altering effects.
CBD is legal just about everywhere, well almost. The reality of THC getting people high has created much legal controversy and skepticism around CBD. Since CBD does not produce these psychoactive effects, its use is not yet as legally controlled as THC.
Keep in mind - CBD can be derived from both marijuana and hemp plants. Not all CBD is created equal here friends. The main difference between marijuana-derived CBD and hemp-derived CBD comes down to the differences between the two plants.
According to current federal laws, CBD must be extracted from the hemp plant in order to be legally obtained. To legally access CBD extracted from marijuana, it would need to be obtained in a legal state, such as California, Oregon, Washington or Colorado.
All botanCBD products fit the bill of being THC Free or <0.3% THC. If you are unsure of the THC content, you can contact us for more information. NanoCraft offers a variety of products to choose from including:
