CBD 101
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound found in the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. Although characterized alongside the marijuana plant, CBD contains a trace amount of the chemical THC and is non-psychoactive. CBD has gained popularity in recent years for its abundant therapeutic health and wellness benefits.
Oils, topicals, capsules, edibles, supplements, pet CBD and other products can be found on the market today for a wide variety of potential health solutions.
CBD Extracts
Most products have one of two CBD extracts:
- Isolate: CBD is isolated from the rest of the compounds in the plant, making it 99% pure CBD.
- Full-spectrum: Sometimes called whole-plant CBD, full-spectrum features hemp in its purest form with a full extracted profile of 100+ cannabinoids, terpenes, phenolics and a trace amount of less than 0.3% THC. These active compounds team up and help the cannabinoids function even better together, also known as “the entourage effect.”
Urth Remedies offers only full-spectrum products for a more holistic and sustainable approach to hemp.
Is it safe and legal?
CBD is legal in the United States as long as it contains less than the trace 0.3% of THC, although some states have passed their own regulations. Despite CBD’s long, complicated legal history due to its hemp background, leading public authorities have offered their stamp of approval, such as the World Health Organization, which says it “exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential” and “may be a useful treatment for a number of … medical conditions.” Note not all hemp products are created equal, and it is important to do due diligence on the quality of ingredients.
Expect to see an abundance of CBD in the future, as new research confirming CBD’s safety and effectiveness comes to fruition each year.
