We get asked the question “Will CBD get me high? The answer is always no when Hempvada CBD products are in question. CBD does not get you high for a very simple but misunderstood reason. Though CBD is known to have many therapeutic effects, it is, in fact, a 100% non-psychoactive cannabinoid. CBD cannot get you “high” and doesn’t influence your brain, unlike its close relative THC. Cannabis is a very complex plant and has been found to have over 100 other cannabinoids in addition to THC and CBD, most of these, like our beloved CBD, is not psychoactive as well.

“Spectrum” seems to be an increasing popular word amongst the CBD industry. But what is it referring too? And what’s the difference between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and Isolate Based CBD products? While it may seem very confusing, I can assure you it’s not and will even break it down for you! But first let’s go into why there are various spectrums to begin with.

The 2018 Farm Bill defines “hemp” as, in part, “acids with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol “THC” concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” Most people interpreted this statement literally, to mean that “only” the delta-9 THC content in hemp would be used in determining compliance with the state and federal statutes.

Its harvest time! With every harvest comes new favorites for hemp flower! We figured it was a good time to rank our favorite strains on the market. The strains referred to below are federally legal in all 50 states due to their nature, growing within the legal limit for THC content (0.3%). Although when it comes down to it, they are considered cannabis strains and they are often referred to as CBD hemp varieties for their minimal THC content. We stock more than a few of these CBD Hemp Flower strains but they can be found in many places!

To most of us, history sounds bit dull but cannabis history isn’t dull as we assume. Human civilization understood the potential of this miracle plant. They cultivated it for many different purposes, which let me wonder how cannabis/hemp evolved so much. Also made me wonder what exactly they did with this plant in different places, different timeline. Going through many journals and archives, these are my historical findings which may intrigue you.
