CBD 101: Introduction to Hemp & CBD (Video)

Hi.  I’m Ron with Hemp Lively.

Whether this is your first-time taking a Hemp product, or you’re just searching for a better one, it’s important to understand a few things. 

Let’s start with the basics.

Hemp and Marijuana are both Cannabis plants.  The 2018 Farm Bill defines Hemp as a Cannabis plant with less than zero-point three percent THC and Marijuana as having more than zero-point three percent THC.  THC has psychoactive effects.  Therefore, Marijuana gets you high.  Hemp does not.  Because of this, it is legal to manufacture, sell, and use.

Hemp contains between 80-100 different chemicals called Phytocannabinoids, or plant cannabinoids.  The most prevalent, or Major Phytocannabinoids include CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN and THC. 

Hemp Lively products are Full-Panel Lab tested for potency, terpenes, heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvent and microbials.   You will be able to see the levels of these Major Phytocannabinoids on the Certificate of Analysis, or COA, which can be viewed by simply scanning the QR code on the label.

So how do Phytocannabinoids work?

Your body has an entire system called the Endocannabinoid system which produces its own cannabinoids called Endocannabinoids.  It’s full of receptors throughout the body that both the Endocannabinoids and Phytocannabinoids attach to, which activate them.  Once activated, they send signals to different functions of the body that control things like inflammation, pain, sleep, anxiety, and mood, just to name a few.

Remember, the more Phytocannabinoids in a product, the better it works!  So, it’s important to make sure you’re taking a Multiple-Phytocannabinoid Hemp Oil or Hemp Gummy, instead of just CBD Oil or CBD Gummies which only have CBD, no other Phytocannabinoids. 

Another important fact is Hemp Oil is not the same thing as Hemp Seed Oil.  Hemp Seed Oil does NOT contain ANY Phytocannabinoids.  Hemp Lively sells Hemp Oil, not Hemp SEED Oil.

Now, that’s great information, but why choose Hemp Lively?

There is a HUGE difference between a Hemp Lively Whole Plant Hemp Product and another companies Full Spectrum Hemp Product, even if they have identical lab reports.

The difference lies in whether they still have the 70-90 remaining minor Phytocannabinoids.  The problem is, these Minor Phytocannabinoids do not show up on lab tests.

So, if they don’t test for these, how do you know they’re there?

Well, you don’t.  That’s why it’s important to buy Hemp Products from a company you can trust. 

Most CBD companies do not farm and extract themselves.  They buy their concentrates from a 3^rd party wholesaler to make their products.  These wholesalers buy hemp and extract it into concentrate to sell in bulk.  However, during the extraction process, they remove the minor Phytocannabinoids and Terpenes to raise the CBD concentration, increasing the value, so they make more money.  Now on paper it looks great, but the end result is an inferior product. 

Hemp Lively is one of the few manufacturers that are “Seed to Sale”.  This means we control the entire process from our Hemp Farm in Parachute, Colorado to our 14,000sf manufacturing facility in Niceville, Florida.  The only 3^rd party we use is for Lab Testing.

The Hemp Lively farm organically grows non-GMO, pesticide-free Hemp.  Our extractors preserve all the available Major and Minor Phytocannabinoids and Terpenes.

Our products are lab formulated and manufactured using GMP standards and practices giving you quality products you can trust.

Finally, Let’s talk about taking your product.

Hemp products are not something you take once and immediately see results.  Phytocannabinoids take a few weeks to build up in your system so it will take time before you see the full effects.  Take it daily, half of a dropper or one gummy when you wake up, and another half of a dropper or one gummy before bed. Give it about 2 weeks before you gauge whether you want to increase or decrease the amount you’re taking. 

Monitor your levels daily for a change in inflammation, pain, anxiety, PTSD, mood, and overall wellbeing and remember to share your story with us when you notice results.  We’d love to hear from you.
