The aim of this and subsequent posts will be to educate and raise awareness of Hemp and CBD (Cannabidiol). My sincere intention is to publish content that people will find useful and informative. For those that are unaware, I will attempt to explain what Cannabidiol oil is and where it comes from. In addition, I will briefly cover the many benefits this product is bringing to people all over the world.

Cannabis gives us 2 species which are Hemp and marijuana. CBD is the abbreviation of Cannabidiol and is an extract that comes from the Hemp leaves and flowers. The scientific name of Hemp is Cannabis Sativa L. Hemp is different from marijuana because it contains only 0.3% THC. This means it is non-psychoactive since THC is the compound that causes the 'high' which is associated with the use of marijuana.

We process the raw materials. Afterward, the final CBD extract has even lower levels of THC. This varies depending on the manufacturer and the type of oil. However, it can be as low as 0.03% or in some cases, completely THC free. The amount of THC is very important to ensure the product complies with the law. In the UK, the law states CBD products must contain no more than 0.2% THC. In some countries, this limit is slightly higher at 0.3% THC.

In recent years, CBD has experienced tremendous growth. This is because it offers numerous health benefits to people of all ages. It is particularly effective at relieving pain and inflammation (including arthritis). People who suffer from anxiety, depression and stress also find it helps with their condition. In comparison to some treatments, CBD is an all-natural substance and has virtually no side effects. Cannabidiol is non-addictive and is establishing itself as a genuine health remedy. It is easy to see why it is gaining such an impressive following.

CBD comes in a range of delivery methods so there is something to suit all preferences. Vaping is the fastest way of getting CBD into your body. Sublingual (oil tincture) is the next fastest but stays in the system for longer. CBD is also available in edible form. These products include gummy bears, chewing gum and honey sticks. There is also a range of CBD infused drinks including coffee, tea and cold drinks.
