Differences Between CBG & CBD
The Entourage Effect: How CBD and THC Work Together
Medically reviewed by Alan Carter, Pharm.D. Written by Raj Chander on December 13, 2019 Cannabis plants contain more than 120 different phytocannabinoids. These phytocannabinoids act on your endocannabinoid system, which works to keep your body in homeostasis, or balance. Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of the more well-researched and popular phytocannabinoids. People take CBD and THC in a variety of ways, […]
“…CBG vs. CBD vs. CBN vs. CBC – The Ultimate Comparison Guide
Just a few years ago, CBD was the only non-intoxicating cannabinoid widely available. It wasn’t long, however, before CBD was followed by cannabigerol (CBG), and in no time at all, products containing cannabinol (CBN) and cannabichromene (CBC) also started appearing. While most people know that all of these new hemp compounds are non-intoxicating, common knowledge […]
A Guide to Cannabinoids and Their Effects
What are cannabinoids? Cannabinoids are naturally occurring chemical compounds that are found in cannabis, and often unique to the plant. Cannabinoids are similar to endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids). These are produced by the human body and used to promote homeostasis, which regulates internal health and immune system functions. Endocannabinoids work by signaling to other cells and […]
The Entourage Effect and CBD: What Does It Mean?

For the record, hemp has deep historical roots in America long before 1937. American […]
CBD: understanding how CBD works with our bodies
20th January 2020 What is the Endocannabinoid System? The endocannabinoid system is a complex biological system in the human body. Medical researchers discovered it in the 1990s, but much is still unknown about how it works and its interactions. Today, experts know that it impacts several major processes, including appetite, sleep, mood, and memory, but […]
A Simple Guide to the Endocannabinoid System
Medically reviewed by Alan Carter, Pharm.D. — Written by Crystal Raypole on May 17, 2019 The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system identified in the early 1990s by researchers exploring THC, a well-known cannabinoid. Cannabinoids are compounds found in cannabis. Experts are still trying to fully understand the ECS. But so far, we know it plays role in regulating […]

When the skotoperiod exceeds a critical threshold (about 10 hours for most), […]
