What's the Difference Between Hemp Oil and CBD Oil?

What’s the Difference Between Hemp Oil and CBD Oil?

As CBD becomes more accepted in American culture, the differences between hemp seed oil and CBD oil remain largely unclear to the public. In addition to their different uses, these oils still have their own legal implications. Hemp-derived CBD provides the needed health benefits and do it legally.

Breakdown of Plant Species, Cannabis Sativa

Hemp and marijuana (cannabis) are two varieties of the cannabis sativa species. Just as having the last name of Manson might raise some eyebrows, sharing the same species name with the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-producing marijuana gives hemp a bad reputation.

These two oils differ in their makeup, uses and their ability to get you high. Cannabis is more commonly referred to as marijuana. Marijuana produces more than 20% levels of THC, which is what can get you high. Legal hemp has less than 0.3% THC content. Hemp seeds contain no THC and trace amounts of CBD. Conversely, hemp makes CBD at more than 20%, while marijuana makes CBD at 10%.

Marijuana treats illnesses, mental health, and chronic pain. Hemp stalks are made into home insulation, fuel, paper, rope, clothing, and many other things. Hemp seeds are cold-pressed to generate hemp oil that is used in beauty products, cooking, and even in paint. Hemp seeds are processed into granola, hemp seed milk, and other foods.

Hemp seed oil has a few medicinal uses, which includes brain health, heart health, full-spectrum benefits. But CBD is much more associated with benefiting health than hemp seed oil is.

Benefits of CBD Oil

CBD treats many health issues without the mind-altering effects of THC or pharmaceutical drugs. It is commonly used for pain and anxiety, but it is used for several health issues.

Here is a list of the benefits of CBD:

• Pain relief – CBD relieves pain such as chronic, multiple sclerosis, and arthritis pain.

• Anxiety and depression relief – Early research suggests that CBD relieves anxiety and depression. Naturally, this is done without using pharmaceuticals or getting high.

• Cancer symptom relief – Studies have show that CBD can relieve nausea, vomiting and pain associated with cancer and cancer treatment.

• Acne reduction – Overproduction of sebum, underlying inflammation, bacteria, and genetics may cause acne. The anti-inflammatory property of CBD clears acne through reducing sebum production and preventing the activation of cytokines, which are inflammatory.

• Neurological disorder treatment – CBD shows evidence that it can treat several neurological disorders. The most tested disorders that responded to CBD were epilepsy syndromes, such as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome. Many online videos show seizures being completely stopped by CBD. Multiple sclerosis also responds well to CBD.

• Heart and circulatory treatment – CBD treats the heart and circulatory systems. It treats high blood pressure. High blood pressure is associated with heart attacks, strokes, metabolic syndrome, and other conditions.

• Psychotic treatment – Mental disorders such as schizophrenia show signs of responding to CBD.

• Substance abuse treatment – Animal testing has shown CBD can reduce heroin-seeking behavior and morphine dependence

• Cancer tumor treatment – Animal testing showed that CBD can stop the growth of lung, colon, brain, prostate, and breast cancer.

• Diabetes prevention – CBD reduces inflammation. It also reduces diabetes by 56 percent.

The Legal Question

Hemp CBD cannot make you high because of it does not contain THC. Even so, CBD was lumped in together with marijuana years ago and classified as a Schedule I drug. That classification made CBD hard to obtain for research purposes for many years. The Federal Drug Administration eased up on their regulatory requirements in December of 2015, allowing researchers to conduct CBD trials. Findings suggested that CBD effectively treats many health problems.

The United States federal government still classifies CBD with marijuana. Yet, it takes various stances on CBD when it comes to enforcing it these days. Their rulings appear to depend on whether the CBD in question comes from hemp or marijuana. That tells us the federal government realizes there is a difference between hemp and marijuana CBD.

Much quicker progress in the legalization of CBD has been made at the state level. All 50 states have now legalized CBD to one degree or another. Today, CBD is readily available in stores across the nation. People who do not have a medical cannabis license can easily order cbd oil online. If and when Congress makes hemp crops legal, CBD will likely become legal at the federal level. For now, it would be best for consumers to purchase CBD items that were made from hemp.

The Deception

Hemp seed oil has been sold for several decades at health food stores for cooking. It is also been widely used as a superior facial moisturizer that does not clog pores. Hemp seed and CBD oils are anti-inflammatory. Anti-inflammatory products heal various skin conditions.

A “green rush” of CBD products started after a farm bill passed in 2018 that legalized industrial-grade, hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). CBD-based products that have been developed within the past year include oil tinctures, capsules, pills, creams, lotions, edibles, vaping, and other products.

Because of the health benefits of CBD oil, it is more expensive than hemp seed oil is. Some hemp seed oil marketers raise prices to match CBD-based counterparts and use misleading labels that lead customers to believe the hemp seed oil product contains CBD. Because of this “weed washing,” it is important to be able to recognize ingredients on cannabis sativa products. Hemp seed oil will be listed correctly as cannabis sativa seed oil. Hemp-derived CBD will be called cannabidiol, hemp oil, full-spectrum hemp, PCR (phytocannabinoid rich) or PCR hemp extracts.

What Is Full Spectrum CBD?

To understand what full spectrum CBD is, one should understand what cannabinoids are. Cannabinoids are the compounds that naturally occur in the cannabis sativa plant. While all cannabinoids are compounds, only 66 of the 480 compounds are cannabinoids.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the most well-known cannabinoid subclasses. CBD makes up around 40% of the extracted plant resin. Other subclasses include CBT, CBE, CBL, CBDL, CBN, CBC, CBG.

Full spectrum CBD contains at least 100 of the cannabinoids, not just CBD. These products work much more effectively than products that isolate CBD because cannabinoids work together synergistically.

Cannabinoids work by interacting with the receptors that are on cell surfaces. CB1 and CB2 are the two main cannabinoid receptors that are in our bodies.

What to Look Out For

It’s early, but the health benefits of CBD are already quite obvious. Many more discoveries will come. CBD is part of the alternative medicine market, and the alternative crowd generally likes what they consume to be natural. Some CBD manufacturers produce products that are contaminated with chemical fertilizers, herbicides, solvents, pesticides, GMO, and alcohol. You’ll want to do your research and refrain from purchasing altered products. And as previously mentioned, you’ll want to stick to hemp-derived CBD in order to avoid legal problems.

CBD-Based Products

Many hemp-derived CBD products have been created since CBD first started to be legalized in various states. It is so easy these days to purchase CBD online.

Here is a nice list of what CBD products you can expect to find online at Safer CBD Products.

Oil tinctures – CBD Products that address anxiety or pain through the bloodstream come in tincture form. They’re packaged in dropper bottles and applied sublingually. Experience a better sense of well-being as you taste peppermint, blueberry, citrus, natural, or pina colada.

Capsules – As one of the many ways people get CBD into their system, capsules are gaining popularity.

Pills – Pills are also a popular way to conveniently ingest CBD oil.

Softgels – Softgels make CBD oil easy to swallow.

Creams – CBD creams alleviate pain topically.

Lotions – CBD lotions combat inflammation.

Salves – CBD salves ease sore joints and muscles.

CBD gummies – You can eat CBD in many kinds of food, including gummies.

Lip balms – CBD-infused lip balms protect lips from the elements, but they also apply anti-aging moisture to dry, cracked lips, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation. Topically-applied CBD stays in the area it is applied to.

Vaping products – You can inhale your CBD, just like you can ingest it or apply it topically.

Pet products – Tinctures are available for pets, just like they are for humans.

Cannabis sativa brings both hemp and marijuana to humanity. Each has its own purpose, but CBD brings many health benefits that researchers have only just started to learn about. Deceptive marketing of hemp seed oil makes knowledge of terminology necessary. Stick to the hemp-derived products to stay legal.

      As I know their difference is in THC concentration. Legal CBD has less than 0.3% THC content. Therefore CBD has much less side effects. I use only premium products from hope cbd uk and results are good. I don’t recommend to save money on such products.
