It's no secret that CBD has exploded in recent years, but if you're just beginning your journey and you're feeling overwhelmed... don't worry, you're not alone! We've put together a series of bite-sized topics to help walk you through some basics over the next couple of weeks. So without further ado... here is your first nugget:
| | What is hemp-derived CBD and how is it different than marijuana? | | | CBD (short for Cannabidiol) is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. It's the 2nd most abundant compound after THC. There are two strains of cannabis, hemp and marijuana. While CBD can be derived from either, hemp is naturally low in THC and high in CBD. This makes hemp ideal for extracting CBD and allows you to enjoy the benefits of CBD without the "high" associated with marijuana. Furthermore, CBD derived from hemp is considered legal according to the 2018 Farm Bill, as long as the THC content is under 0.3%. Tessera Naturals actually goes one step further and selectively removes even the trace amount of THC, so you'll never have to worry about a THC reaction or possibly triggering a positive drug test. | | | | | | |
