You can’t go down a street or into a local grocery store, shopping mall, or gas station without seeing displays for CBD. It is all over your Instagram feed and your friends may be talking about it as well. This blog will go over the following:
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of over 100 different cannabinoids that interact with the endocannabinoid system in the human body.

CBD vs. THC: What is the difference? There is a lot of confusion about whether they are the same. The answer is “no”. They both come from the same type of plant (cannabis), but hemp has very high amounts of CBD, and extremely low amounts of THC. Marijuana has a much higher concentration of THC but is low in CBD. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the naturally occurring substance in the cannabis plant that produces the “high” or the hallucinogenic effects of marijuana. These bind to the receptors in the ECS and produce the effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant. It does not produce a high because it has an extremely low level of THC in it. It can produce relaxation or sleepiness. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Buy USDA Certified Organic: Not all CBD products are created equally! Due to its natural filtering properties, hemp absorbs much of the soil’s elements, meaning any pesticides, heavy metals or other contaminants found in planting soil could infiltrate the plant’s natural chemistry. Green Compass has created a farm in which they grow all their own hemp. Without the use of pesticides and with nutrient rich soil. We carry a number of their products in our office and can assist you with what form of Hemp is best for you in your wellness journey.
