Hello,
Yesterday we learned to “start low and go slow” when it comes to CBD dosing.
Today we’ll talk about Cannabis vs. hemp oil.
In the world of botany, there are basically two kinds of cannabis: hemp plants and drug plants.
Hemp is cannabis grown for fiber and/or seed oil.
Drug plants include THC-rich (intoxicating) plants and CBD-rich (non-intoxicating) plants.
You may also have heard the THC-rich plants referred to as marijuana or weed, especially if you’re talking about the flower tops of the plant.
The main difference between these two types is the resin content.
Industrial hemp plants are low resin.
By law, they must contain less than 0.3 percent THC.
Drug plants are high resin.
Industrial varieties are usually grown from seed and yield as many as one hundred tall bamboo-like plants per square meter.
They have skimpy foliage and are manufactured into many different products (like paper, cloth, and edible oil).
Drug plants, on the other hand, are usually grown from asexually reproduced clones.
They generally yield one to two bushy plants per square meter.
They’re hand-harvested, dried, trimmed, and cured.
The flowers are then consumed for either their intoxicating or medicinal effects.
In the two-sentence definition of “marijuana” from the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, the word “resin” was mentioned many times.
That’s because it’s all about how much the plant has.
In essence, the Controlled Substance Act asserts that certain parts of the cannabis plant are exempt from the legal definition of marijuana.
It’s the sticky resin (and its derivatives) in the flowers and leaves which were explicitly forbidden.
This should make it clear that hemp seed oil is not the same as CBD-rich oil extracted from the flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant.
Oil pressed from hemp seeds has no CBD, no THC, no cannabinoids to speak of.
It’s great for making varnish, paint, soap, food supplements, and other products, though.
To get CBD, however, you must turn to the flowers and leaves of the plant.
Tomorrow, we’ll look at “pure” CBD and see if it’s better than full-spectrum CBD.
