Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What Does Hemp-Derived CBD Stand for?

CBD stands for Cannabidiol. It’s secondary to the prevalent active ingredients of cannabis. CBD is found in cannabis but is directly derived and most prevalent in the hemp plant, a cousin of cannabis.

 

Does Hemp-Derived CBD Get You High?

The ingredient known as CBD is not responsible for getting a feeling of “high”, but rather, may be best known for calming and promoting restful sleep.

 

Is Hemp-derived CBD Legal?

Yes. Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal, though some states have restrictions placed on buyers.

 

Will Hemp-Derived CBD Make Me Fail a Drug Test?

Hemp-derived CBD may not show up on a drug test, however, Full Spectrum hemp-derived CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC which may result in a positive drug test.

 

What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) refers to a collection of cell receptors and corresponding molecules. You can think of cell receptors like little locks on the surface of your cells. The keys to these locks are chemical molecules called agonists. Each time an agonist binds to a cell it relays a message, giving your cell specific direction.

The endocannabinoid system is the name for a series of cell receptors that respond to certain kinds of agonists. Two primary cell receptors make up the ECS, Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1) and Cannabinoid Receptor 2 (CB2). The keys for these receptors are called endocannabinoids.

Endocannabinoids may be like the body’s natural CBD/THC. In fact, endocannabinoids got their name from cannabis. Plant cannabinoids were discovered first. Endo means within, and cannabinoid referring to a compound that fits into cannabinoid receptors.

There are two main endocannabinoid molecules, named anandamide and 2-Ag. Funny thing, scientists wouldn’t have discovered anandamide without THC. Psychoactive (THC) was first discovered by Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam back in the 1960s. His finding quickly spurred a rush to figure out how THC worked, and whether or not our own bodies produced a similar compound.

More than two decades after the search began, anandamide was found. Yet, once they isolated the chemical, they faced another challenge. What should it be called? They turned to Sanskrit. Anandamide comes from the Sanskrit word Ananda, which means bliss. So, basically, anandamide means bliss molecule.

What Does the ECS Do?

Cannabinoid receptors may be found all throughout the body, giving them a wide variety of functions. However, certain receptors are more concentrated in specific regions. CB1 receptors are abundant in the central nervous system. CB2 receptors are more often found on immune cells, in the gastrointestinal tract, and in the peripheral nervous system.

The diversity of receptor locations shows just how important endocannabinoids may contribute to day-to-day bodily function. They may regulate the following:

• Sleep
• Appetite, digestion, hunger
• Mood
• Motor control
• Immune function
• Reproduction and fertility
• Pleasure and reward
• Pain
• Memory
• Temperature regulation

Endocannabinoids are the chemical messengers that may tell your body to get these processes moving and when to stop. They may have the potential to maintain optimal balance in the body, also known as homeostasis. When the ECS is disrupted, any one of these things can fall out of balance. Dysfunction in the ECS is thought to potentially contribute to a wide variety of issues.

Endocannabinoid Deficiency is when the body does not produce enough endocannabinoids or cannot regulate them properly causing a reduction in balance.

Where Do Endocannabinoids Come From?

If your body cannot produce enough endocannabinoids, you may be in for some trouble. But, where do endocannabinoids come from, anyway? This question has another simple answer: diet.

Your body can create endocannabinoids with the help of fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are especially important for this. Recent research in animal models has found a connection between diets low in omega-3s and mood changes caused by poor endocannabinoid regulation.

Fortunately, hemp seeds are a quality source of omgea-3s. However, fish like salmon and sardines produce a form of omega-3s that is easier for your body to put to use.

 

Beyond cell receptors

Cannabinoid receptors are often what we associate with the endocannabinoid system. But, the ECS is more complicated than that. Enzymes also have a crucial role to play in the process. In a way, enzymes are kind of like Pacman. They gobble up various compounds, change them, and then spit out the parts. In the ECS, enzymes break down leftover endocannabinoids. Enter non-psychoactive hemp-derived CBD.

While THC binds with cannabinoid receptors directly, hemp-derived CBD does not. Instead, it may work its’ magic on an enzyme. The enzyme in question is called FAAH, and it is responsible for pulling excess anandamide out of circulation.

Hemp-derived CBD has the potential to put a stop to this. Psychoactive THC works by mimicking the body’s own endocannabinoids. But, hemp-derived CBD can increase the amount of endocannabinoids in your system.

Hemp-derived CBD may stop enzyme FAAH from breaking down all of the anandamide, and therefore makes more of it available for use by your cells. This is why hemp-derived CBD can potentially be a natural mood-lifter without psychoactive effects.

This is just a brief overview of the endocannabinoid system. Each year, new studies shed light into what this amazing network does inside our bodies. The discovery of the ECS is what makes cannabis such a big deal.
