HEMP SEED OIL vs HEMP CBD vs MARIJUANA CBD
BUYER BEWARE!
HEMP SEED OIL ≠ CBD
But Hemp CBD is CBD. I know… it can get confusing!
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP & MARIJUANA?
The short answer: 0.3%
If the THC content of the plant is less than 0.3%, it’s considered hemp.
Higher THC content than that is considered marijuana.
WHAT’S HEMP SEED OIL?
Hemp seed oil is extracted from the seed of the hemp plant. Hemp seeds don’t contain any cannabinoids, which means - you guessed it - there’s no CBD in hemp seeds or the oil extracted from them. So pay close attention to what you’re buying. You’ll come across a lot of hemp oil and hemp seed oil products out there advertised and labeled as if they contain CBD or offer similar benefits.
WHAT’S CBD OIL?
CBD oil is extracted from the flower and leaves of the cannabis plant. It has the same molecular makeup whether it’s extracted from hemp or marijuana. What’s most important is how the CBD product is processed and produced. If you’ve heard of the “entourage effect”, then you know that the cannabinoids like CBD may produce greater results when they’re not isolated from the other plant compounds and cannabinoids. So you’ll probably experience the best results by purchasing broad and full spectrum products (rather than CBD isolates).
I highly recommend Papa & Barkley’s CBD oils, balms, capsules and tinctures. Code BSTRONG = 15% off your first order!
It’s also worth noting that some people achieve the desired result with a lower dose when the product is made from marijuana. Due to the entourage effect, the higher THC content may enhance the effects of the CBD. What does that mean for a person who’s using hemp-derived CBD? It simply means they may need a larger dose to achieve the desired result.
Every person’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) is unique. No single strain or formula will create the same result for every person. To avoid wasting your cash on ineffective products, stick to broad or full spectrum CBD. Once you figure out the right dose for you, you won’t be disappointed!
