Cannabidoil (CBD) is a chemical compound from the cannabinoid family that naturally occurs in the cannabis plant. Scientists have isolated over 100 different types of cannabidoids in cannabis.

THC is the best known due to its psychoactive properties; that’s what gives you the “high” sensation. CBD, on the other hand, gives you the therapeutic benefits without feeling the psychoactive effect.

This compound interacts with our body through the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is the system that regulates the body’s natural homeostasis.

Caitlin grows her own cannabis for Herbal Root Collective.   Her family has grown hemp for 30 years.  A make-up company uses the stalk and seeds of hemp.

She saw a need to a stronger cannabis product for people who wanted to get away from pharmaceuticals.

What makes her product different?  CBD oil needs to be bound so something fatty.  A lot of brands are mixed with hemp seed oil or coconut oil, olive oil.  Veda uses all cannabinoids.  Her fat concentrate is very high at 94%.

Gummies, smoking sources are probably a pure THC, an isolated component.  Need the full complex.

CBD oil is one component of the cannabis plant.  Main thing is it helps with are pain, stress, anxiety, sleep. 

Consumers need to be educated, look at lab reports, see where the product is coming from.

Are 16-20 different strains of cannabis.

How do you know what the products are doing?

Diane asks if any types of CBD oil help with regeneration of lung tissue after pneumonia?

Will ship product out from Herbal Root Collective.  Store-front soon, plus multiple farmers’ markets now.

Her topicals are extremely fast-acting.  4 topicals available.  Roll-on is the most popular.  Good for arthritis, nerve conditions, neuropathy.

Using CBD oil is a different experience than other forms of cannabis ingestion.  Can slow the synapses, be relaxing.

Cannabis influences 2 receptors – CBD1 and CBD2.  We are all producing cannabinoids internally.  Entourage effect.

Believes in a strong educational emphasis.

ThC has a healing effect by itself.  A difficulty with the entourage effect is failing blood drug tests.

Information coming out every day about what cannabinoids can do.

Government has a patent on cannabinoids.  What’s with that?
