Frequently Asked Questions

Hemp / CBD

What is the difference between hemp, cannabis, marijuana?

Although hemp and marijuana are genetically different, they both come from the cannabis plant, know scientifically asCannabis sativa L.Hemp, in the U.S., is defined as the cannabis plant with trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. Hemp usually contains about 0.3% THC while marijuana usually contains 20% or more. This difference is very important because THC is what gives marijuana it’s psychoactive properties. Hemp doesn’t have any of the psychoactive properties of marijuana and provides a better vehicle for targeted relief.

What’s the difference between Hemp and CBD? Are they the same thing?

The hemp plant has many different compounds, also known as cannabinoids (kuh-nab-uh-noids). A few of these cannabinoids are CBD (cannabidiol), CBDv (cannabidivarin), CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol), CBC(cannabichromene), THC(tetrahydrocannabinol), and more. The highest concentrated cannabinoid in the hemp plant is CBD which is why it is so commonly known. So, CBD comes from hemp but there are many other compounds that are found in the hemp plant as well. Gold Naturals uses all the cannabinoids that come from the hemp plant which is known as a full-spectrum hemp extract.

Can CBD get you high?

If used correctly CBD will not get you high. CBD, in it’s isolated form, has no psychoactive effect. However, CBD is just one of the many compounds in the hemp plant. When the hemp plant is extracted, all compounds are extracted with it, including the trace amounts of THC found in the hemp plant. We provide all third-party results with each product to ensure compliance and give you confidence in your product. By taking the recommended dose, you will not get “high”, but you may feel calm, relaxed, and balanced.

What’s the difference between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum and CBD Isolate?

Full-spectrum. Full-spectrum hemp contains all of the natural occurring hemp compounds from the hemp plant. Full-spectrum has many cannabinoids, including CBD, CBDv, CBG, CBC, CBN, THC, and others. This is the most effective form of hemp, because all of the compounds work together which is known as the Entourage Effect.Broad Spectrum. Broad-spectrum hemp is simply full-spectrum hemp that has had certain compounds (cannabinoids) removed, including the trace amounts of THC. Broad-spectrum is not as effective as full-spectrum because it doesn’t provide the same Entourage Effect that comes from a full-spectrum extract.CBD Isolate. CBD isolate is produced by removing all of the compounds, except CBD, from the full-spectrum extract. All of the other natural compounds (CBDv, CBG, CBN, CBC, THC, etc.) are removed through post-extraction processing. Although CBD isolate is effective in high doses for various purposes, it is the least effective form because of the lack of the Entourage Effect in the body.

Is there a difference between Full Spectrum Hemp and Full Spectrum CBD?

The phrase “Full Spectrum CBD” is a misnomer because CBD is just one of the many compounds in the Full Spectrum Extract. The accurate description for anything that includes all the hemp compounds is Full Spectrum Hemp Extract or Full Spectrum Hemp Oil.

Can I take too much Full Spectrum Hemp oil?

Every person is different, and to make sure we have a product that works foreverybody, we developed different formulas and different strengths. We always recommend to start with the lowest potency and work your way up until you find what works for you. The compounds from hemp, also known as cannabinoids, work with the endocannabinoid system. It is possible to flood the endocannabinoid system with too many cannabinoids, which is why we recommend starting low and sticking to the recommended dosage.

Where is CBD and other cannabinoids legal?

CBD and hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal throughout the United States. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized the production of hemp as an agricultural commodity, as long as it contains below 0.3% THC.

Why is CBD so popular?

CBD has exploded in popularity in recent years because of the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill that was signed into law in the United States in December 2018.

How does CBD/hemp work?

CBD is just one compound that comes from the hemp plant. Hemp contains many compounds, known as cannabinoids and these cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid system in your body. The endocannabinoid system in your body is similar to other systems, like the respiratory system, lymphatic system, circulatory system, etc. The endocannabinoid system has two main receptors, known as CB1 and CB2. The hemp-derived cannabinoids, including CBD, interact with these receptors that help regulate internal systems in your body.
