Legal Status of Hemp Delta-9 By State Although the baseline law is the 2018 Farm Bill, which most states simply transcribe into their state laws, some states have taken different approaches. Generally, we can classify states’ hemp delta-9 laws as either keeping it legal, restricting it through regulation or outright banning it. However, some laws that are technically “restrictions” effectively ban a large proportion of products, and we’ll put these in a separate section. There are also some states actively in the process of making laws. States Where Hemp Delta-9 is Legal Hemp-derived delta-9 THC products are legal in [...]

What Are The State And Federal Regulations For CBD Products? The Food and Drug Administration, often referred to as the FDA, oversees the safety and efficacy of food, drugs, cosmetics, biological products, and medical devices. It is essential to be informed about the legalities concerning cannabidiol products. The 2018 US Farm Bill emphasizes that the cannabis plant and derivatives should contain no more than 0.3% of THC for them to no longer belong to the controlled substances under federal law. This bill also emphasizes that the FDA has the authority to regulate cannabis-containing products and cannabis-derived compounds under the [...]

With a patchwork of laws and regulations governing CBD products, it can be difficult to figure out what’s legal where. We’ve outlined the current situation, what makes it so confusing, and how it might evolve. How Did CBD Become Legal? CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of about 100 active compounds found in hemp. Unlike the more well-known cannabinoid THC, CBD does not cause intoxicating or euphoric effects. From 1938–2018, with only a few exceptions, hemp was illegal to grow, possess, or use for research in the US. In 2018, revisions to the Farm Bill legalized the growth of so-called [...]

A Source of CBD Hemp comes from the cannabis family, but possesses virtually no THC (the compound in cannabis that causes a “high”). This makes it an ideal source of CBD for products that can help maintain the body’s optimal functions—without causing intoxication. The history of hemp is complicated; for a long time it was criminalized along with cannabis. The resulting stigma has prevented robust research on CBD, so there is still much to learn about its potential benefits. An easy way to access information about the contents of your CBD product is through a Certificate of Analysis. It [...]

Best CBD Oils for Horses First and foremost, what are the best CBD oils to use for horses? The truth is that you don’t actually need a specific oil for horses. All CBD oil will work for horses just as they do for humans and spending extra money on horse-specific products will only serve to markup the price. The main factor to consider is the size of the animal. Horses are very large animals and may require relatively high doses of CBD. For this reason, we recommend going for some of the higher potency options when it comes to [...]

What's CBL (Cannabicyclol)? Cannabicyclol (AKA CBL) is a minor cannabinoid produced in both hemp and marijuana. This cannabinoid was first discovered in 1964 by F Korte and H Sieper. Originally these two German Chemists thought the cannabinoid resembled THC and named it “THC 3.” Later, in 1967, the cannabinoid was isolated where a molecular structure dissimilar to THC was discovered — however, it still wasn’t clear exactly what the structure looked like. The cannabinoid was then renamed cannabicyclol (CBL). Jumping forward in time to 1971, the correct structure of CBL was finally discovered. CBL is not produced by the cannabis [...]

What Regulates Our Hunger? The hypothalamus, aptly nicknamed the master switchboard, controls our hunger sensation, thirst, energy levels, body temperature, sleep cycle, sex drive, and much more. According to set-point theory, we’re genetically programmed with an optimal weight range to maintain the best function of our bodies. The hypothalamus’ job is to keep us within this ideal range by turning on and off hunger signaling cues — to help us stay within homeostasis (balance). For regulating hunger, the hypothalamus gets information from our blood sugar (glucose) levels, stomach and intestines content, and hormone activity. Hunger is an essential part [...]
