CBD, or cannabidiol, is the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis (marijuana). While CBD is an essential component of medical marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, a cousin of marijuana, or manufactured in a laboratory. One of hundreds of components in marijuana, CBD does not cause a "high" by itself. According to a report from the World Health Organization, "In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential…. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD."

CBD has been touted for a wide variety of health issues, but the strongest scientific evidence is for its effectiveness in treating some of the cruelest childhood epilepsy syndromes, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which typically don’t respond to antiseizure medications. In numerous studies, CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures, and, in some cases, stop them altogether. Epidiolex, which contains CBD, is the first cannabis-derived medicine approved by the FDA for these conditions. Animal studies, and self-reports or research in humans, suggest CBD may also help with these ailments.

Anxiety: Studies and clinical trials are exploring the common report that CBD can reduce anxiety.

Insomnia: Studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep and staying asleep.

Chronic pain: Further human studies are needed to substantiate claims that CBD helps control pain. One animal study from the European Journal of Pain suggests CBD could help lower pain and inflammation due to arthritis when applied to skin. Other research identifies how CBD may inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain, which are difficult treat.

Addiction: CBD can help lower cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, according to some research in humans. Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for alcohol, opiates, and stimulants

CBD does not get you high, but the idea that it’s not psychoactive is something of a misconception in his opinion. It does change your consciousness. You may feel mellow, experience less pain, and be more comfortable. In addition, Full Spectrum CBD products do contain small amounts of THC (<0.3%).

The chances of testing positive on a drug test are very slim, however we cannot guarantee that the test will come back 100% clean after a long period of CBD use. There is a chance that a minuscule amount of THC could accumulate in your fat cells over time.

If you're concerned then we recommend using Broad Spectrum products exclusively because they contain zero THC.

We recommend consulting a physician or lab before starting any dietary supplement regimen.

All of our products are made from NON-GMO, PESTICIDE FREE, Industrial Hemp that was cultivated and extracted at our farms in the heart of Michigan. Our Hemp is exclusively grown outdoors under natural sunlight with organic fertilizer. We use the same plant genetics in our Hemp year in and year out to make the most consistent and delicious All Natural CBD oil. All of our products are third party tested to ensure potency and purity.

Full spectrum CBD means that it uses all of the phytochemicals found in Cannabis sativa; this includes cannabidiol along with terpenes, essential oils, and other cannabinoids, which means THC. However, the THC content included will usually be under 0.3 percent, as guided by law.

Because the THC content of the full spectrum CBD oil for sale is negligible, you may never feel intoxicated from the trace amounts of THC. But be aware that THC can build up in your system over time, which may be of concern if your employer requires you to not have any THC in your system.

Full spectrum CBD typically allows consumers to experience the “entourage effect.” This effect requires the combination of whole-plant cannabinoids and additional terpenes, and it is quite different from pure CBD that uses CBD isolates only.

So, if you don’t mind a bit of THC inside your CBD oil, you may choose to use full spectrum CBD for your needs. The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp-derived substances from the Controlled Substances Act, making these products more available to consumers as long as they are not marketed as medicines, among other requirements and restrictions.

Like full spectrum, CBD oil labeled broad spectrum also uses cannabidiol with all the other compounds found in hemp. However, there’s one active ingredient that gets removed after the extraction process – THC. Broad spectrum CBD retains several of the different cannabinoids, such as CBN and CBG. And because the broad spectrum also uses additional terpenes and flavonoids, it can generate the entourage effect without THC. Even though broad spectrum CBD shares similarities with the full spectrum, it still has that one primary difference that separates it from the other. And you may decide to use broad spectrum CBD if you’re looking for whole-plant benefits without any THC content or you live in an area in the U.S. with stricter cannabis laws.

From a straightforward perspective, you could think of broad spectrum CBD as a combination of CBD isolate and full spectrum CBD. It uses compounds from the whole hemp plant minus the THC.

Without THC content, broad spectrum CBD is particularly useful for people who want the benefits of full spectrum CBD with fewer worries about THC accumulating within their system from daily use.

To keep it simple, if you're concerned about drug testing for THC then you should exclusively use Broad Spectrum CBD because it contains zero THC.

There are a host of reasons why you may prefer one formulation over another such as lifestyle, desired effects, and whether or not you feel you need the inclusion of THC for more calm or if it helps you to sleep better. One top consideration when comparing full spectrum vs broad spectrum CBD is how the small amounts of THC in full spectrum affect you.

If THC seems to help you more, then opt for the full spectrum. Some people can be particularly sensitive to THC and may do better with the broad spectrum CBD. You know your body best, and which one of these spectrums is best for you is a decision to be made for yourself, perhaps with the input and guidance of your doctor.

Yes and no. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the two best-known active compounds derived from the marijuana plant. The other is tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is the substance that produces the "high" from marijuana.

While CBD can come from marijuana, it can also be derived from hemp. Hemp is a related plant with 0.3% or less of THC. This plant is often used to make fabrics and ropes.

Again, yes and no, but we use only legal Hemp derived CBD.

The legality of Cannabidiol from hemp is based on a 2004 unanimous ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which determined that the DEA “cannot regulate naturally-occurring THC not contained within or derived from marijuana, i.e., non-psychoactive hemp is not included in Schedule I. The DEA has no authority to regulate drugs that are not scheduled.

As of 2018, Congress made hemp legal in all 50 states, and consequently CBD derived from hemp is also legal. The rules around marijuana-derived CBD, however, are far less clear. MMD exclusively uses CBD derived from hemp.

To extract CBD from the the hemp plant, we utilize a process in which C02 is at a low temperature, under high pressure. This allows us to capture C02 in a liquid state and efficiently draw the CBD and terpenes from the plant material.

We recommend you keep our products away from heat, light, and humidity to preserve freshness. Our products can be stored at room temperature and we recommend refrigerating edible products after opening.
