Where does CBD come from?

You've probably heard the terms cannabis, marijuana, and hemp all tossed around in relation to CBD. 

The plant Cannabis sativa has two primary species, Hemp and Marijuana. Both contain CBD in leaf, stalks and flowers, but there's a much higher percentage in Hemp, which also has very low (less than 0.3%) levels of THC compared to marijuana.

What is Hemp?

“Hemp” is a term used to classify varieties of Cannabis that contain 0.3% or less THC content.

With evidence of its use recorded throughout history, including the discovery of material made from hemp over 10,000 years ago, many believe that hemp was the first crop ever cultivated by mankind.

With the capabilities to produce crucial resources such as food, rope, clothing, paper, housing material, and more, hemp has been the catalyst for man’s earliest innovations.
