What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is non-intoxicating and has tremendous medical benefits. It’s found throughout nature—in green vegetables, pine trees and other plants, and even our own bodies. Seventh Sense products are crafted with 100% hemp-derived CBD, to help our customers get the highest quality for the greatest wellbeing.

What are cannabinoids?

There are two types of cannabinoids: Endocannabinoids (which are made by your body) and Phytocannabinoids (which are found in plants). These fatty acids act as a neurotransmitter, which simply means they act on the nervous system—mostly in the immune cells.

What is the Endocannabinoid System?

Ready for a simple science lesson? The Endocannabinoid system is a network of molecules, receptors, and enzymes in the human body that’s peppered with CBD receptors. These receptors bind with the CBD to either enable or inhibit a synaptic response, which creates an effect in the body. Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell. At the core—it’s how our cells communicate and CBD can have an impact.

What is the difference between CBD and Hemp Extract?

You’ll notice that the terms are used somewhat interchangeably—which can be confusing. CBD is one type of hemp extract, but hemp extract isn’t necessarily CBD. Some hemp extracts contain other cannabis constituents (there are more than 100). There are other constituents believed to have therapeutic benefits like CBD. Neither CBD nor hemp extract have intoxicating or psychoactive effects.

What is the difference between CBD from hemp and CBD from marijuana?

Hemp and marijuana belong to the same species: Cannabis Sativa. Unlike Marijuana, hemp has high levels of CBD and very low levels of THC (the intoxicating/psychoactive compound). Our CBD is 100% hemp-derived and contains less than 0.3% THC, consistent with applicable law.

What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?

While these two plants come from the same species, their chemical makeup is a bit different. Hemp (Cannabis Sativa) has long, sturdy stalks and leaves and a high concentration of CBD with and a low concentration of THC. Marijuana (Cannabis Indica) is conversely a shorter, heartier plant with a high concentration of THC and a lower concentration of CBD. In other words, marijuana has an intoxicating effect (the feeling of being “high”) while hemp does not.
