    CBD is an abbreviation for the cannabinoid CannaBiDiol, which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that can be used as a daily supplement to contribute to overall health and wellness. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds and are found within the hemp plant.

    Hemp has been used for thousands of years, from textiles and building materials, to fabrics and medicines. Only in the past 50 years have we begun to fully explore the amazing properties of cannabinoids like CannaBiDiol and CannaBiGerol (CBD and CBG), our two most recognizable forms. They most commonly are used in various tinctures, sprays, topical creams and salves, and of course, as smokeables, like vapes, prerolls, and raw flower.

    CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and should not produce a “high” feeling when ingested. While any ingested substance can affect people differently, being non-psychoactive, CBD should not affect your mental state and should promote a clear, calm mind for the user.

    CBD can be taken in many forms – softgels, sprays, oils, vaporizers, gummies, and many more.  Now, with the advent of higher-quality hemp flower, it’s also becoming popular to ingest CBD in the form of high-CBD flower pre-rolls.

    CBD is generally considered a very safe, non-addictive natural compound. Though research has shown it may be able to disrupt and deactivate cytochrome P450 enzymes that work to metabolize certain compounds (such as the active ingredient in some painkillers as well as THC), more research is needed in this area. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26651971

    CBD needs vary from person to person - and, sometimes, from day to day. Resources such as Project CBD can help you learn more about the dosage you need to achieve maximum efficiency.

    Industrial hemp and marijuana both belong to the plant genus Cannabis. Although they’re closely related genetically, like in other species, even one genetic difference can drastically change the characteristics of a plant. Hemp has been bred for more industrial uses, typically focusing on fiber and grain production, while marijuana cultivation and breeding has focused on flower and THC production. Hemp is defined as having at or below 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis. In recent years the hemp industry has begun to also focus on flower and legal cannabinoid production such as Cannabidiol, or CBD.  

    Hemp has been used for several millennia, with records showing it may have been one of the earliest intentionally cultivated crops. Hemp popularity has soared in recent years following its revitalization after the 2014 Farm Bill approving its cultivation.

    CBD is typically extracted by either CO2, hydrocarbons, or ethanol. Blühen focuses on ethanol extraction due to its efficiency and safety. The material is washed in sub-zero ethanol, dissolving the CBD within the plant into the ethanol. It is then be refined into a crude, distillate, or isolate product.

    CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD available, reaching levels of purity that meet or exceed 99% pure CBD. Several methods are used to extract CBD from hemp and reduce it to a powder, crystalline-like form.

    Full Spectrum Extract is the fully extracted spectrum of the hemp plant, including all of the cannabinoids and terpenes. Cannabinoid and terpene profiles vary with each variety, so the makeup of a full spectrum extract varies as well.  Research is ongoing as to how different cannabinoids and terpenes interact with the body.

    Terpenes are the essence of smell. When you smell various aromas wafting from beautiful hemp plants what you’re really smelling are the hundreds of terpenes found within the plant that give many plants their characteristic smell. Terpenes serve to protect plants, and in some cases will make them more desirable to humans, leading to increased production of the plant.

    Hemp-derived CBD is legal per the federal 2014 Farm Bill that allowed for hemp production. Tennessee and many states have specific laws in effect that allow for the production and sale of CBD derived from hemp.

    Blühen Botanicals focuses on quality from seed to shelf and track our hemp crop through the entire process. We use third-party testing for all our batches and look at a wide range of testing parameters. To ensure quality, we test for cannabinoids, terpenes, residual solvents, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and pesticides, going above and beyond to ensure our product is of the highest quality and providing any COAs necessary to ensure that.
