CBD 101: Your Guide to Everything CBD
What is CBD?
Natural Cannabidoil extracted from Hemp
Hemp based CBD is a legal alternative to medical marijuana and does not produce the high you would get from marijuana.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the cannabinoids found in hemp and marijuana plants.
CBD has no psychoactive effects and is perfect for people who don't want to get high.
How does CBD work?
CBD works with the Endocannabinoid System
Your Endocannabinoid System is a network of messengers and receptors that regulate the way your body functions, the communication system between your body and brain. The messengers, called cannabinoids, bind with the receptors located throughout your body.
The cannabinoids made in your body are endocannabinoids. Although your body makes endocannabinoids (2-AG and anadamide) as needed.
This is where CBD comes to play

CBD Hemp oil is legal
It is important to understand that hemp-derived CBD is legal in all 50 states, however, marijuana-derived CBD is not legal federally. The legal hemp-based CBD needs to contain less than 0.3% THC (ingredient in cannabis that gets users high). Since marijuana typically has TCH levels higher than 0.3% it's not legal across all states.
What is the Difference between CBd from Hemp vs. MARIJUANA?
Both marijuana and hemp are from the same plant species (cannabis sativa). The key difference between the two is the levels of THC. Other than that, there is substantially no difference between CBD from hemp and marijuana.
FULL SPECTRUM vs CBD ISOLATE
Full Spectrum
When you select a full- specturm CBD product, your product contains naturally occuring cannabinoids (including less than 0.3% THC), plant terpenes, flavinoids, vitamins, and minerals of the original hemp source. These compounds work together to create what is known as the "Entourage Effect."
Cbd isolate
CBD Isolate is cannabidiol in its purest form a full-spectrum product that has been further processed to remove the plant compounds. All that remains is a white powder that is at least 99 percent pure CBD with zero percent THC. This powder is then transformed into various CBD isolate products such as oils and edibles.
A full - spectrum CBD product is the product of choice for those looking to take advantage of the Entorouge Effect. The Entorouge Effect is used to explain how the whole has a greater impact than its individual parts.
How to Consume CBD?
CBD comes in a variety of products that include oils, edibles and topicals. With CBD oil you can place the recommended number of drops under your tongue for 30-60 seconds. With edible CBD products in the market you can have it in coffee, tea, gummies and many other forms coming to market daily. With topicals you can apply the oil rich topical directly to the problem area on your skin or follow any instruction on the product.
Vaping is the most efficient & effective way to administer CBD as it has the highest potential bioavailibility (the rate of absorption in the bloodstream).
CBD and Drug Testing
It is unlikely that a UDS (Urine Drug Screen) would show positive for THC with a patient taking pure isolate CBD. On the other hand, Full-Specturm CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC (<0.3%) and are therefore more likely to test positive in a UDS. The only way to be completely safe would be to stop all usage of any Isolate or Full Spectrum substances prior to your scheduled screening.
