CBD Oil stands for Cannabidiol Oil, one of more than 100 active cannabinoids in the cannabis plant and the predominant cannabinoid in hemp. Cannabidiol is what makes hemp – hemp! Full Spectrum.

What is the difference between Hemp Seed Oil and CBD Oil?

Hemp Seed Oil: (Nutritional) Hemp seed oil is produced by cold-pressing hemp seeds. It’s rich in omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and contains high levels of vitamin E. These properties make hemp seed oil a great nutritional supplement or ingredient for topical products. It does not contain CBD, or any cannabinoids for that matter, so it is not intended for therapeutic purposes.

CBD Oil: (Therapeutic) CBD is produced from the bloom of high CBD hemp varieties. Full spectrum products contain all the naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes found in the varieties. CBD has been studied and shown to help with a variety of conditions.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is an essential physiological system discovered in the 1990s. Located in the brain, organs, and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, the ECS is involved in establishing and maintaining human health. While it affects various biological processes, experts believe its overall function is to regulate the body’s homeostasis. Read More About The Amazing Discovery Of The Endocannabinoid System

Yes it absolutely matters. Single-molecule CBD, whether synthesized in a lab (crystalline) or extracted and refined from retted industrial hemp stalks, lacks critical medicinal terpenes and secondary cannabinoids found in high-CBD Cannabis sativa strains. These compounds are essential as they interact with CBD to enhance its therapeutic benefits. Because of the poor results of past single-molecule cannabis products, we feel it is best to include the entire natural array of compounds found in resin-producing varieties of the plant. Many isolated CBD oil and products are on the market. They are less effective than Full Spectrum.

Yes. CBD inhibits the cytochrome P450 enzyme, which is involved in metabolizing many drugs. Compounds in grapefruit inhibit the same enzyme group, which is why physicians advise patients not to eat grapefruit shortly before or after taking a medication. By inhibiting cytochrome P450, CBD can either reduce or increase the effects of other drugs. In some situations, it may be advisable for a physician to monitor a patient’s blood levels of other medications while taking CBD. This is particularly important for children on multiple medications.

**We firmly believe it’s best to reduce medication(s) when possible and while under a physician’s care.

First, it’s important to remember what the term “full spectrum” means. Full spectrum means all naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes in the plant are present in the extract. Cannabis sativa contains several hundred compounds, including various flavonoids, terpenoids, and many other cannabinoids besides CBD. Each of these compounds has beneficial attributes, but when combined, they create what scientists refer to as a holistic “entourage effect” so that the therapeutic impact of the plant is greater than the sum of its single-molecule parts.  These extracts, like Bluegrass Hemp Oil’s Genesis Blend, are much better and offer a higher opportunity for success.  Click here to learn about Full Spectrum CBD verse isolated CBD.

We proudly stand behind the fact that the CBD in all Bluegrass Hemp Oil products is straight from the bloom of our natural, Kentucky-grown, American hemp varieties known for their high CBD/low THC content. No stalks, stems, fan leaves, or seeds were harmed during its production – don’t get us wrong… All parts of this beautiful plant have their place and benefits; however, CBD extractions are not. We grow all of our hemp and farm in Harrodsburg, KY.

There are quite a few differences. From processing methods, chemovars, parts of plants used, added ingredients, isolates, marketing ploys, “pure,” etc. Read below for some of the essential key differentiators:

1. We manage the process from start to finish. We cultivate, harvest, extract, test (internal and send out for 3^rd party verification) and bring products to retail.
2. Truly full spectrum – Consumers get all cannabinoids and terpenes present in our varieties in our extract. All are proven by the mild, natural flavor and light gold color.
3. Blend of high CBD varieties – We use more than one chemovar to produce our extracts. This allows more cannabinoids and terpenes to be present in the end product for consumers.
4. Truly natural – Only ingredients are the naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and MCT oil, making our products genuinely pharmaceutical grade (over 99% pure with no added fillers or binders)
5. Flavors – Most flavored products are created from isolates (proven by the fact that they are clear and have no plant flavor). There is very little that will mask the natural taste of the plant. With flavored products, you run the risk of missing out on the entourage effect from the other cannabinoids and terpenes)
6. Location – You’ll only find our Genesis Blends in our stores/website or on the shelves of pharmacies and health food stores. No multilevel marketing, no head shops, vape shops, or gas stations.

We do not source the hemp material used in our Genesis Blends. We cultivate proprietary genetics bred by our parent company, Kentucky Cannabis Company, on our farms in Mercer County in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Low endocannabinoid levels in your body or ECS dysfunction can contribute to the development of certain conditions, like migraines, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome.

Synthetic cannabinoids are chemicals created in a laboratory to mimic the effects of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in cannabis. While they may provide similar effects to natural cannabinoids, they also have potentially dangerous and unknown side-effects, including death. Natural cannabis has never been linked to a death due to usage. The Dangers of Synthetic Cannabinoids:

Delta-8 THC is a “new cannabinoid” that is creating a lot of noise because even though it comes from hemp, it is an isomer (compound with the same formula but a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule) of Delta-9 THC. This means that Delta-8 products ARE intoxicating. Delta-8 is manufactured by reprocessing isolated CBD with chemicals to change its molecule shape to match Delta-8. Kentucky Cannabis Company does not manufacture or distribute isolated or synthetic cannabinoids. Read more about synthetic

As we have stated in an earlier blog post on Delta-8 THC, D-8 is a minor cannabinoid that can either be naturally produced in cannabis in minute amounts or chemically derived from CBD isolate. Its effects are said to be similar to those of marijuana–the reason behind its growing popularity.  As everyone knows the hemp plant contains trace amounts of THC, and Delta-8 is naturally ten times less than delta-9 naturally in the hemp plant. Proving that the delta-8 on the market today is just a synthetic designer cannabinoid that is dangerous. The real dangers and deaths adding up.

The obscurity around Delta-8 THC’s legality originates from this fact alone: that it is produced from the hemp plant. Everyone should be aware that Delta-8 THC products will get you high, though the effects are said to be substantially less intoxicating than Delta-9 THC product highs. Sold in many forms, Delta-8 THC is commonly condensed into solid substances like gummies or candies; it can also be found in capsules, oils, and even more often, it is seen in vaporized cartridges. The Dangers of Delta-8.

While their chemical structure is almost identical, the most significant difference between Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC lies in the placement of their chemical bonds: Delta-8’s double bond lies on the 8th carbon chain, whereas Delta-9’s double bond resides on the 9th carbon chain. While this difference may seem unimportant, the variance in the location of the two cannabinoid double bonds determines the physical and psychical reactions within a person’s body after intake.  There is ten times less Delta-8 naturally in the cannabis Sativa CBD hemp plant than Delta-9. Delta-9  THC is the primary cannabinoid in what is referred to as marijuana, and Cannabidiol CBD is the primary cannabinoid in what is commonly referred to as hemp. Delta-8 is manufactured in scale by washing isolated CBD in chemicals to change the molecule’s shape. Kentucky Cannabis Company does not manufacture or distribute isolated or synthetic cannabinoids.

Naturally, the cannabis hemp plant contains 10x less delta-8 than delta-9.  Delta-9 is in hemp plant tract amounts.  Thus products are made by converting isolated CBD into a synthetic cannabinoid called delta-8.
