CBDs come from the family “Cannabis”, however, our CBDs are harvested from Industrial Hemp which has a much lower amount of the psychoactive molecule, THC. During extraction and refinement, THC is eliminated to the lowest trace element as possible and under the legal limit of 0.3%. Our CBD products are legal in all 50 states.

This Newsletter speaks to medicinal values of CBDs and Terpenes.
Full Spectrum
As we discuss full spectrum CBDs (Cannabinoids), let’s explore the more well known CBDs and what they do for humans and pets, actually all mammals. We share about 70% of our Endocannabinoid system with mammals such as dogs, cats, hamsters or horses. That’s why we manufacture CBD oils and treats for pets.
“CBD” is actually the acronym for “Cannabidiol” – only one compound of the hemp plant. Take a look at this chart by Allegiance Wellness Center to learn more about other Cannabinoids in hemp and their natural medicinal values. You can see that CBD (Cannabidiol) has a larger presence than the other Cannabinoids. I know, it gets confusing.
THCA and THC
Please note that THCA is not the same as THC. We need to heat the acid form, THCA, in order to convert a non-psychoactive state into a psychoactive state. It’s only the 9-THC that gets us “high”.

Bigger Picture of CBDs
You can also see by this chart what other CBDs do. The blue dots are just Cannabidiol alone. This molecule is isolated from all of the others when producing CBD “Isolate” for the formulation of certain liquids and products.
If you are looking for specific needs, go to YouTube.com and search for “CBDs Seizures”, CBD Alzheimers” or “CBD PTSD” and find all kinds of information.
