Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol(CBD) are two of the 80+ cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant. THC is the compound that imparts that ‘high’ feeling and has many medicinal qualities. However, CBD has most if not more of the medicinal attributes of THC while lacking THC’s psychoactive properties. In fact, CBD works to regulate these properties in the body.
Putting CBD it into the same category as marijuana is profoundly misguided.
And depending on the state you live in, marijuana, may or may not be legal. Whereas, hemp is legal now in all 50 states.
- Hemp contains practically zero THC.
- Hemp contains other cannabinoids, one of them is CBD.
In order to be classified as hemp, a cannabis plant must contain less than 0.3% THC by volume. This is the reason why hemp products are legal to buy, sell and ship. Which is why anyone can order CBD derived from hemp plant, straight to their doorstep.
Note: CBD is now legal in the US and Texas, however if you would like to protect your right to utilize the medicinal powers of marijuana CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMAN to let them know the importance of this issue to you.
