What is the endocannabinoid system?
Discovered in 1992, the endocannabinoid system (ECS) refers to endocannabinoids, the enzymes that regulate their production and degradation, and their receptors. Endocannabinoids are “messengers,” isolated from brain and peripheral tissues that communicate via cannabinoid receptors.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a promising phytocannabinoid found in cannabis and/or hemp. It has been recognized for its benefits on human and animal health and is capable of affecting nearly every biological process via interaction and stimulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
Can CBD get me high?
No, it cannot. CBD is a phytocannabinoid that is not psycho-impairing (it does not result in feelings of euphoria) and has a remarkable safety profile.
What’s the difference between hemp seed oil and hemp oil?
Hemp seed oil is manufactured from hemp seeds and contains low concentrations of cannabinoids to none. It is used for a variety of things such as beauty products, lubricants, paints, and as a food.
