Why CBD from Hemp Can Be Healthier and More Sustainable Than from Marijuana

Here is Why CBD from Hemp Can Be Healthier and More Sustainable Than from Marijuana

With so much misinformation about CBD hemp oil on the internet, one of the most common questions we get from consumers is about the difference between CBD from hemp vs CBD from marijuana.

Many are surprised to learn of the number of similarities between hemp and marijuana. Though the resemblance should come as little surprise since both hemp and marijuana are versions of the Cannabis Sativa L. plant. However, as we dig deeper into the two plants, we begin to see how CBD from hemp offers advantages over CBD from marijuana.

One of the misconceptions about CBD hemp oil products is that CBD from hemp oil is less potent than cannabis oil or CBD oil made from medical marijuana. While it is true that the percentage of CBD in hemp plants by dry weight may be lower than the percentage of CBD in some specially bred marijuana plants, once the oil is extracted from the plant, refined, and processed, this difference becomes negligible.

However, hemp cultivars also grow much faster than marijuana, so while an intensively bred high-CBD medical marijuana strain would take a full season to grow, a hemp farmer can often plant multiple crops a season, creating a more environmentally sustainable and conscientious product. CBD oil from hemp is also often less expensive than from marijuana due to lower wholesale prices, higher market availability, and fewer restrictions on cultivation, shipping, and use.

While it has been warned that hemp is a bioaccumulator (absorbs and collects substances from the soil), it needs to be noted that all cannabis plants, including medical marijuana strains, are bioaccumulators. A medical marijuana crop grown with poisonous pesticides or fertilizers is more dangerous to a consumer than a cleanly grown hemp crop, and with minimal regulations in many medical marijuana markets, there is no guarantee that marijuana bought from dispensaries is healthy to use. Recently in Colorado, there were a number of recalls for marijuana grown with dangerous, unapproved pesticides, further illustrating this point.

TOP REASONS WHY CTFO CBD IS THE BEST QUALITY IN THE INDUSTRY 

1. More than 67% of the current CBD products on the market that have been tested do NOT contain the amount of CBD or other ingredients that their labels say they do. OURS DO! All our products are manufactured in the USA in a registered GMP facility. GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices and refers to a system of manufacturing practices that are regulated by the U.S. government and guarantees reproducibility of product quality to verifiable specifications. This means that the federal government has verified that you’re getting what you’re paying for because they have confirmed that what’s on our labels is in our products. 

2. Our CBD is made from NON-GMO, PESTICIDE FREE, CO2 Extracted Hemp Oil using only organic ingredients. 

3. The products are manufactured in a cruelty-free facility. No animal testing or abuse is utilized. This is a big issue, especially in the skin care industry. 

4. We use only the best, highest quality, purest organic Hemp and we don't use any high heat processing that reduces the potency or efficacy of the CBD. 

5. Our CBD Oil is a combination of both the CBD Isolate (or Extract) along with the Full Spectrum Whole Plant Hemp Oil. This gives us a much higher potency of CBD Oil while maintaining over 120 other cannabinoids, all of which have additional healing benefits. 

6. There are more than 400 phytonutrients that exist in hemp plants. Our extraction technology allows us to extract all of these nutrients, without using any heat or harmful solvents. The result is a whole food with exceptional nutritional qualities, and much more efficient skin and pet care products. 

7. With CTFO CBD products, you're getting the highest quality, purest CBD, plus over 400 other nutrients, in a naturally synergistic, easy-to-use and easy-to-absorb form. These truly are the best products on the market.

More importantly, on a molecular level, CBD from hemp is the same as CBD from marijuana. Franjo Grotenhermen of the International Association for Cannabinoid Medicines has been quoted saying, “CBD is CBD. The human body does not care where the molecule comes from.”

Water makes a good analogy here. As far as your body is concerned, an H2O molecule is the same, whether it comes from a rushing river or out of your kitchen tap. In the same rate,10 mg of CBD from hemp oil is absorbed the same as 10 mg of CBD that you’d find in a medical marijuana dispensary. And just like with river water and tap water, neither hemp or marijuana is guaranteed healthier than the other, and much depends on outside factors, making our independent Triple Lab Tested™ process all the more critical to the safety of our customers.

Finally, the entourage effect, mentioned in Sanjay Gupta’s CNN special Weed, emphasizes the need for a range of cannabinoids and other compounds in cannabis in order to be effective. The fact is that hemp, like marijuana, contains measurable amounts of a number of terpenes and cannabinoids, including CBD and THC. However, the levels of THC in hemp oil are low enough not to be psychoactive, making hemp a legal and more viable alternative to high-THC medical marijuana.

Because CBD hemp oil products are legal in all 50 states, they fill an important role for those who can’t access medical marijuana in their state. CBD hemp oil is also an alternative for those who are interested in using CBD but looking to avoid the negative effects of psychoactive THC.

With so much contradicting information available online, it is important for consumers to do their own research from trusted sources.
