10 Natural Ways to Manage Stress

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Full of interesting compounds that produce beautiful scents and provide unique physiological properties, plants that produce phytocannabinoids seem to beckon to humans to interact with them. Our natural endocannabinoid system (ECS) cooperates with phytocannabinoids as if they were made for each other.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The cannabis plant produces well over </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425762/" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425762/"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">100 different cannabinoids</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">. Some come in large quantities, while others appear obsolete in their pound-per-pound value. The most discussed, and most popular phytocannabinoids, are CBD and THC. Due to their relatively well-understood properties, they make up the focus of the cannabinoids extracted from the plant.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD and THC, however, are two very different compounds. THC is the intoxicating compound of the group and is found in higher concentrations in recreational and medical cannabis. </span><a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/what-does-it-feel-like-to-use-cbd" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/what-does-it-feel-like-to-use-cbd"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD doesn’t produce such effects</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">. Though, it often can be found in higher concentrations in the hemp varieties of cannabis. Both can be located in most varieties of cannabis and hemp but in different concentrations depending on the cultivar.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The most socially-accepted types of cannabis products stem from hemp seeds. The positive attributes of hemp oil have been much discussed over the years.  A lot is known about it, since hemp oil carries insignificant amounts of cannabinoids and has been allowed more freedom for scientific exploration and experimentation. CBD oil is far newer to the legal marketplace, however, and consumers may have a lot of questions about what they are buying.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most popular questions about CBD oil is “is there THC in CBD oil?”</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There is not a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer and it is up to you to find out which oil you feel is right for you. But, that means you must be informed about these products so you know what to expect when </span><a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-oil" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-oil"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">making a purchase of CBD oil</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">What Does the FDA Say?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">According to FDA regulations, CBD derived from hemp is legal. This was put into effect by the </span><a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/12/14/the-farm-bill-hemp-and-cbd-explainer/" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2018/12/14/the-farm-bill-hemp-and-cbd-explainer/"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">2018 Farm Bill</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> which placed the control of hemp under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture and made it an agricultural commodity. This prevents the DEA from interfering with any inter-state commerce and allows further research to be done regarding CBD oil.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Although the bill gets refined every 5 years, the production of CBD oil and the legal laws on any cannabis product remains under the purview of the FDA. In order for CBD oil to be sold legally, the amount of THC present in the oil must be 0.3% or less. Federal, state, and local laws may differ, so it is very important to check your local regulations to make sure that CBD oil is legal where you live if you intend to purchase or consume it.</span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">What Are the Different Types of CBD Oil?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There are three main types of CBD oil available for purchase:</span></p>
<ul data-mce-fragment="1">
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD isolate: This is a pure CBD oil product. This means that it only contains CBD and has no other trace amounts of cannabinoid compounds, this includes THC.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Broad-spectrum CBD oil: This is a CBD oil that bridges the gap between CBD isolates and full-spectrum extracts. It is produced in the same manner as CBD isolates but it still contains a variety of other cannabinoids. The only cannabinoid not present in a broad-spectrum extract is THC.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Full-spectrum CBD oil: This is a CBD oil that has been extracted from cannabis and, as the name suggests, it contains the full spectrum of cannabinoids, including the ones which may produce psychoactive effects. However, even in full-spectrum CBD oils, the amount of THC remains negligible.</span></li>
</ul>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The different types of oil will contain varying amounts of THC, of course. If you want to avoid THC, you should be careful when selecting the product you want to purchase and always read the label first. THC levels, if any, will be indicated. </span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">What Is the Difference Between CBD Oil and Hemp Oil?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD oil and hemp oil are both sourced from the same plant and are often mistaken for one another. Moreover, the difference between the two oils and their extraction methods has an effect on the levels of THC present in them.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD is found in different locations on the plant, and each location has different concentrations. The leaves and flowers of the hemp plant contain the highest concentrations of CBD and are therefore used to extract CBD oil. Hemp oil is made using the seeds of the hemp plant, they contain very little CBD but do contain other useful substances.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD is commonly extracted from the hemp plant by a process called CO2 extraction. This is the use of CO2 as a solvent to separate the plant material from the cannabinoid compounds present in the plant. Hemp oil, on the other hand, is extracted by cold pressing the seeds until they produce the oil.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Hemp oil can be used for many different things. It is often used in beauty products like shampoos and soaps. It can also be used in cooking because it is high in omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids. There are also plenty of industrial uses for hemp oil and it can be found in some inks, paints, lubricants, and many more products.</span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Can taking CBD oil influence a drug test?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There is always a chance that using CBD or hemp oil could make you </span><a href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/cbd-drug-test" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://penguincbd.com/blog/cbd-drug-test"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">fail a drug test</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">. You are never completely in the clear when consuming any cannabinoid-based product. Even the use of hemp oil as a beauty product could cause a false positive on a drug test. However, the chances remain unlikely that consuming CBD oil will result in a failed drug test.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The regulations set by the Department of Health and Human Services states that the limit of THC to cause a failure of a drug test is </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5330962/" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5330962/"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">50mg/ml</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">. If the CBD oil that you use has 0.3% THC, you will be safe; there is not enough THC. The only way to fail a drug test when taking CBD oil is to consume a high dose in a short period of time. An absurdly high dose.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There are, however, certain tests that look for all cannabinoids. The use of CBD oil will cause a failure on these tests, but these tests are far less common. Even black pepper contains trace amounts of terpenes </span><a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/sns-tft-how-black-pepper-sedates-marijuana-paranoia-20190729-yxtja2apsbhzvnzk6dilimhbka-story.html" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/marijuana/sns-tft-how-black-pepper-sedates-marijuana-paranoia-20190729-yxtja2apsbhzvnzk6dilimhbka-story.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">found in THC</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">. So, although unlikely, the idea that consuming plant material could lead to a false positive on a drug test isn’t out of the question.</span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">How Can I Avoid THC in CBD Oil?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">It’s important to have a good understanding of where your CBD oil comes from. A lot of the CBD market is under-regulated, and some sellers may take advantage of that fact and loosen their quality control. There are several important factors to understand when purchasing CBD oil if you want to mitigate the risk of high levels of THC.</span></p>
<ul data-mce-fragment="1">
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Read the product information: you should know if the oil comes from hemp or marijuana plants.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Figure out what type of oil it is: The only way to truly be sure there is zero THC is to buy a CBD oil made with pure CBD isolate.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Find the products that list the concentration of CBD: the lower the concentration, the lower the dose.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Make sure you know where the products come from: if you are buying CBD oil in the US you should look for oil produced in states with good testing and strong regulation like Oregon or Colorado.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Always buy your CBD oil from trusted vendors.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Purchase products that include third-party lab reports on their quality and cannabinoid quantity.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Avoid products that make unsubstantiated health-related claims. There are very few CBD related products that have been FDA tested, let alone approved.</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">What if I want THC in my CBD oil?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">If you live in an area that has legalized the sale and consumption of recreational or medical cannabis, there are likely CBD oils that can be purchased that contain varying ratios of THC to CBD.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">According </span><a href="https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01238.x" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1476-5381.2011.01238.x"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">to some studies</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">, cannabinoids can work in tandem to provide more benefits. Some believe that when cannabinoids are taken in tandem, the effects could become stronger. This is often referred to as the entourage effect. It means that CBD oil with even slight amounts of THC may be able to increase the oil’s ability to improve health and alleviate certain discomforts.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">However, THC binds with the ECS receptors and produces the intoxicating “high,” this has a variety of side effects, one of which can be paranoia. If you are not a regular consumer, the effects of paranoia can be quite strong and, in some cases, very unsettling.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Since the ratio of cannabinoids in CBD oils varies so widely, it’s important to explore what’s right for you. Consider taste, dosage, price point, and other important factors you deem relevant.</span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">How will my dosage affect THC?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Different people respond to different doses of CBD. There is not a standard dose for the average person. This is influenced by a range of different factors, such as </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5569602/" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5569602/"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">weight, diet, metabolism, or even genetics</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">. So, naturally, the amount of THC in your specific dose will vary.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Regardless, if you use CBD oil that is full-spectrum or extracted from the marijuana plant, the levels of THC will generally be higher. In some cases, it may be illegal where states have not legalized recreational or medical cannabis.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Where it is legal, people should still take some caution when changing their diet. That’s because there is no FDA recommended daily dose, so you should always start low and go slow until you begin to feel the effects you are looking for.</span></p>
<h2 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Is there THC in CBD oil?</b></h2>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">The answer is complicated, but it really does depend on the type of CBD oil that you purchase and the dose that you take.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">If you really want to avoid all THC but still keep the entourage effect, the best way to do so is to buy broad-spectrum CBD oil. It contains only CBD and all the other legal and beneficial cannabinoids. That's why we offer broad-spectrum oil in a variety of flavors and strengths at </span><a href="https://penguincbd.com/" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://penguincbd.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Penguin CBD</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

How Much THC Is in CBD Oil?

<p><span>You can buy almost anything on Amazon, but can you buy quality CBD? The truth is that you’re more likely to find sketchy, mislabeled “hemp-seed oil” on this online megastore than well-labeled, traceable high-quality products such as our <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-oil">flavored CBD oil</a> or <a href="https://penguincbd.com/products/cbd-gummies">CBD gummy candies</a>.</span></p>
<p><span>CBD is experiencing a popularity boom thanks to cannabis decriminalization. More and more studies and huge amounts of anecdotal evidence suggest that CBD is connected to a host of wellness benefits, further driving the market’s explosive growth. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>So it may seem odd that quality CBD is hard to come by on one of the world’s most popular retailers. But there are actually very good reasons you shouldn’t try to buy CBD on Amazon. Let’s take a closer look.</span><span> </span></p>
<h2><strong><span>CBD and Amazon: A Quality-Control Disaster?</span></strong></h2>
<p><span>It’s hard to buy CBD on Amazon in part because Amazon made it that way: Their terms of use explicitly prohibit listing any products containing cannabidiol. In a world where CBD is popping up everywhere from bakeries to beauty salons, why is Amazon explicitly banning this huge market?</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>A lot of it has to do with Amazon’s sheer size. With CBD manufacturing largely unregulated, shoppers may expect Amazon itself to control the quality of the products available on their site. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>However, Amazon isn’t just a single retailer. Its seller marketplace currently hosts about 2.5 million active accounts. And Amazon’s track record when it comes to enforcing meaningful quality control among those 2.5 million merchants isn’t great.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>In 2019, Amazon had to <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2019/07/22/amazon-warns-consumers-some-align-probiotic-supplements-sold-were-fake/1793750001/">warn</a> many shoppers that the Align Probiotic supplements they purchased on the site were likely counterfeit, while in 2017 many sellers were <a href="https://www.mic.com/articles/175691/amazon-vendors-are-selling-expired-emergency-contraception">caught</a> removing best-by dates from expired over-the-counter medicines.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Quality control in the world of CBD is especially important because mislabeled ingredients can change a product’s efficacy, its immediate and long-term effects, its legal status and its safety for consumers. Poorly manufactured CBD products can contain contaminants such as lead and pesticides. </span></p>
<p><span>A 2017 study of 84 CBD products <a href="https://www.pennmedicine.org/news/news-releases/2017/november/penn-study-shows-nearly-70-percent-of-cannabidiol-extracts-sold-online-are-mislabeled">found</a> that a significant portion contained more CBD or less CBD than advertised, and even undisclosed and intoxicating levels of THC. CBD products that contain more than the 0.3% THC content allowed by the 2018 Farm Bill are considered controlled substances, and their manufacturers and distributors risk law-enforcement consequences. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Mislabeled products and unproven health claims have gotten CBD manufacturers embroiled in class-action lawsuits, FDA warning letters and even government raids.</span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>CBD manufacturing is a diverse and largely unregulated field, which means quality can vary enormously among the hundreds of small companies jockeying for sales dollars. Counterfeit products on third-party marketplaces outside of Amazon have already caused headaches for companies like Lazarus Naturals, who advise their customers to avoid fake Lazarus products on Groupon. </span></p>
<p><span>With over $10 billion in annual net income from their existing operations, Amazon may have decided that entering this legally and medically complicated industry is simply more trouble than it’s worth.</span></p>
<p><span>Amazon has banned products containing CBD -- but that doesn’t mean you can’t obtain them shopping there. A Washington Post investigation <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/12/19/amazon-prohibits-cbd-sales-its-still-easy-buy-site/">found</a> that 11 out of 13 products bought on the site contained CBD. Some of those products came from CBD manufacturers that simply redesigned their Amazon-focused packaging to heavily imply, rather than flatly state, that CBD was in the product. </span></p>
<p><span>It’s technically a loophole, but it’s one that creates an even bigger regulation vacuum than simply allowing CBD sales, leaving Amazon shoppers vulnerable to counterfeiters, unclear dosages, mislabeled products and other quality and safety issues.</span><span> </span></p>
<h2>
<strong><span>“Hemp-Seed Oil” and CBD Are Related, but They’re Not the Same</span></strong><span> </span>
</h2>
<p><span>CBD is formally banned from Amazon, but a search for “CBD” on the site still returns pages and pages of products. Many aspects of those listings may remind you of CBD available from other retailers, from repeated references to cannabis and hemp to familiar dosage methods such as gummies and dropper bottles. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span></span><span>Some of these sellers may be offering CBD products without saying it explicitly. But many are just offering the “hemp oil” or “hemp-seed oil” described in their listing, and some of those sellers may even be intentionally exploiting widespread confusion about terms for cannabis-derived products. </span></p>
<p><span>Cannabis is a genus of plants containing different strains with both male and female specimens. THC, CBD and other cannabinoids are only present in significant quantities in the buds of female and hermaphrodite plants. </span><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Humans treasure female buds for their cannabinoids, but they’ve found uses for the rest of the cannabis plant for millennia, from making durable hemp fiber to pressing oil out of the seeds. While hemp-seed oil has many genuine uses and benefits to offer, it’s derived from cannabinoid-scarce components of the cannabis plant. If you’re using hemp-seed oil, you’re not experiencing CBD.</span><span> </span></p>
<h2>
<strong><span>Alternatives to Amazon</span></strong><span> </span>
</h2>
<p><span>Amazon makes billions of dollars per year in profit for a reason -- they’ve become a one-stop online shopping destination for everything from groceries to clothes to movies. As CBD is going mainstream, many people are looking to their favorite online marketplace, only to find that getting accurately labeled, trustworthy CBD products there is essentially impossible. Where can a CBD shopper look other than Amazon’s online mega-bazaar?</span></p>
<p>Buying directly from a manufacturer (such as <a href="https://penguincbd.com/">Penguin CBD</a>) can offer shoppers real quality and security. Like other responsible CBD manufacturers, Penguin offers third-party lab results to verify that our products contain exactly the CBD we advertise, with no undisclosed THC or contaminants.</p>
<p><span>Because we’re not trying to get around a CBD ban, each product page on our website contains the CBD dosing information customers need to get the right experience for them.

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Sleep is fundamental to our health, playing a crucial role in cognitive function, emotional well-being, and physical health. REM sleep is one of the four stages of the sleep cycle, it’s important for processing emotions and consolidating memories. Insufficient or poor-quality sleep, including disrupted REM sleep, can lead to problems such as increased stress, impaired cognitive function, and heightened risk of chronic diseases.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">CBD contains various compounds that have been studied for their effects on sleep. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound in cannabis that causes psychoactive effects, hemp does not produce a "high" and is legal in many places. The interest in sleep stems from how it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, pain, and sleep cycles.</span></p>

<h3 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Enhancing REM Sleep</b></h3>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Research on CBD’s impact on REM sleep is fascinating. Some studies suggest that CBD may help regulate REM sleep patterns, potentially making it beneficial for those experiencing REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and for improving overall sleep quality. By stabilizing REM sleep, individuals may experience more restorative sleep, leading to healthier brain function and emotional regulation.</span></p>
<h3 data-mce-fragment="1"><b data-mce-fragment="1">Relax Into It</b></h3>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most well-known effects of CBD in helping to heal the sleep dilemma is its ability to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, which can indirectly improve sleep quality. For those struggling with insomnia due to stress or anxiety, CBD may offer relief by calming the nervous system and lowering the physiological and cognitive barriers to sleep. This relaxation effect can make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep through the night. The more you relax, the better the Z’s! </span></p>
