Consuming CBD for its mental and physical health benefits has become a mainstream practice, but as an unregulated (and fairly new) industry, there’s a lot we don’t know about what we’re actually consuming in this trend.
If you’re new to cannabis products in general, the industry terms can be confusing. So first things first—let’s define those commonly used terms:
Cannabis is a plant, otherwise known as marijuana.
Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis plant that is specifically grown in order to be used for goods (everything from paper made from the fibers to CBD oil).
CBD is a component that is extracted from the cannabis plant (for the highest potency, SUPERGOOD extracts from the Hemp flower—but know this isn’t the case for every company on the market). The component CBD cannot get you high.
THC is a compound from the Cannabis (or marijuana) plant that gets you high.
More importantly, you need to make sure you are using products that have high standards for quality, potency, and safety (unfortunately, this isn’t as easy to come by as it sounds).
Which is why I only use SUPERGOOD. After working for years in the cannabis industry, the husband and wife team, Thom and Ashlae, wanted to create products for consumers who did not want the intoxicating effects of THC. Their quality and standards are unprecedented. SUPERGOOD’s hemp is grown locally outdoors in Colorado using organic practices. After harvest, the integrity of the terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals are all safely extracted—meaning there’s so much more to their full spectrum products than just CBD (CBD is great, but there are a lot of other beneficial compounds in cannabis, too).
Ashlae is by far the most knowledgeable person I know about THC, CBD, and all things cannabis. What I love about their CBD is that I can fully trust it. As someone who knows next to nothing about weed, knowing I can trust someone else’s products without having to educate myself makes the relaxing effects of SUPERGOOD that much stronger for me. The industry is largely unregulated, meaning that a lot of shit products fall through the cracks. Ashlae’s products are the highest quality available (and I can tell by their efficacy!).
I personally use SUPERGOOD’s products for anxiety and inflammation management—but those aren’t the only benefits! Full spectrum hemp oil has been known to help facilitate better sleep, relieve pain, and can have a positive effect on brain cell function.
My favorite products are Daily Drops (I always have a bottle or two on hand!) and the Herbal Bath Soak in the Wintergreen and Eucalyptus scent (your skin will feel so soft!).
