Introduction to CBD

Industrial hemp plants contain 113+ naturally occurring, active compounds called cannabinoids. 

CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the cannabinoids found in industrial hemp plants.

Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a cannabinoid found primarily in marijuana — CBD (cannabidiol) does not produce any intoxicating or “high” effects, meaning users can experience its benefits without disconcerting feelings of lethargy or dysphoria. 

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a collection of cell receptors and the corresponding molecules (agonists) in the human body. The ECS is responsible for regulating and maintaining many key functionalities of the human body. When the ECS is in balance, one experiences homeostasis.

Ideally, your Endocannabinoid System would remain in balance. Unfortunately, under the assault of stress, illness or injury, your body may not produce enough endocannabinoids to fulfill communication requirements. The system then becomes unbalanced and communication deteriorates. Some scientists are leaning towards the belief that many diseases and medical conditions are potentially caused by endocannabinoid deficiencies.

Much like a daily vitamin, CBD, one of the many cannabinoids found in industrial hemp plants, supplements the Endocannabinoid System, which plays a vital role in optimal human performance. Thus, daily supplementation of hemp-derived CBD can increase the long-term functionality of the Endocannabinoid System.

As one of the earliest domesticated crops, hemp has been used throughout the ages as a source of food, textiles, and herbal medicine. While ancient Chinese Emperor Shen Nung is credited for teaching his people to cultivate hemp for cloth in the 28th century BC, archaeologists found remnants of hemp cloth in Mesopotamia (now Iran and Iraq) that dated back to 8,000 BC. It is commonly believed that hemp arrived in Europe in 1200 BC and quickly spread throughout the ancient civilizations. 

It was the Puritans who first brought hemp seeds to Colonial America. Hemp was used to create the sails, ropes, and caulk used on British sailing vessels. Due to the high demand for hemp, British colonies were required to grow hemp crops to create products intended for British consumption.

Early American Presidents Washing-ton and Jefferson were both known to have grown hemp on their land. In Colonial America, hemp was still a required crop, and at least three
