CBD HISTORY, SCIENCE AND SOURCE
After World War I, hemp farming declined, replaced by more profitable crops like tobacco, as well as the increased usage of synthetic fiber.
Then, during the “War on Drugs”, with the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, federal restrictions were implemented. The Drug Enforcement Administration at this point claimed that marijuana and hemp, both cannabis species, were prohibited. The regulations became too restrictive for small farmers and in fact, it became legal to grow only in Kentucky, and only if it was associated with a research project. Not to be used in commerce.
In the 1990’s the Canadian company Manitoba Harvest campaigned to allow for hemp products, like hemp oil and hemp seeds, to be sold in the United States. They eventually broke down those walls and hemp began to appear on the retail shelves.
Eventually, with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill we can now once again grow and use American grown hemp!
CBD works by interacting with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is an internal network of receptor sites. These receptor sites, like a lock and a key, interact with cannabinoids.
The endocannabinoid system has been implicated in a number of physiological functions.
CANNA JOINT RELIEF DIFFERENCE
Canna Joint Relief was in development for many years before the botanical blend and extraction process were perfected.
The CBD is added to a base of Certified Organic botanicals which undergo a proprietary extraction process, called Extended Extraction. This process helps draw out the chemical constituents of each plant.
COMPREHENSIVE – Expertly crafted blend of botanicals
ORGANIC – 95% certified organic herbs
