Keywords that will surely land you in CBD Purgatory.

Broad Spectrum

Broad spectrum products are the non-alcoholic beers of the CBD world. Ever tried to catch a buzz off non-alcoholic beer? It's damn near impossible. Sure, there might be trace amounts of alcohol in it, and it may taste like beer... but just because it looks and quacks like a duck, doesn't mean it's a duck.

Broad spectrum products contain some of the crucial terpenes and cannabinoids, but trace amounts to zero THC, leading to a tease of the entourage effect. THC plays a large role in the entourage effect, unleashing the full plant power and healing potential.

CO2

Yes, Carbon Dioxide. The shit that comes out of your exhaust pipe. Believe it or not - a lot of CBD companies are still extracting their products with CO2. Now that's just plain nasty.

Our products are extracted using a patented chemical-free lipid based extraction process, which ensures the cleanest, tastiest, and most potent cannabinoids on the market.

Isolate/THC Free

CBD Isolate is exactly what the name entails: an isolated form of CBD. While this may be good if you are trying to pass a drug test, we are adamant preachers of full spectrum products that contain less than .3% THC to induce the entourage effect.

Isolate strips the product of any terpenes, cannabin- oids other than CBD, and any other naturally occurring compounds in hemp that contribute to the entourage effect. No THC present in your CBD? Kick that shit to the curb.

Hemp Seed Oil

Isolate strips the product of any terpenes, cannabin- oids other than CBD, and any other naturally occurring compounds in hemp that contribute to the entourage effect. No THC present in your CBD? Kick that shit to the curb.

While hemp SEEDS may be a decent source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, you want WHOLE PLANT hemp extraction. It gives you a full spectrum outcome that actually contains CBD (and all the other beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes found in hemp), not just the fatty acids from the seeds.

Distillate

Distillate is a step in the right direction as it is a form of broad spectrum oil containing more of the good stuff than isolate, but remember: broad spectrum products are the non-alcoholic beers of the CBD world.

Sure it may taste more like hemp in its natural form because of these other cannabinoids and terpenes, but it's still just not quite what you're looking for without higher amounts of THC present.
