5 Benefits of CBD Without THC

CBD use has hit the health and wellness scene like a tsunami in the last couple of years. Many are looking to reduce the amount of prescription drugs they consume, or for a natural supplement to help relieve such things as chronic pain relief and anxiety disorders. There are a variety of legal CBD products on the market so people naturally wonder if Hemp CBD without THC also commonly known as Broad Spectrum CBD promotes the same benefits as a combination of both THC and CBD compounds combined, which is known as Full-Spectrum CBD products.

Farm Bill

The main reason we are discussing CBD oil without THC and why this is even of interest is due to the passing of the Agriculture Improvement Act, commonly referred to as the Farm Bill. The Farm bill states that in order for Hemp oil made from Industrial hemp to be legal, it must contain less than .3% THC. There are a few other conditions that must be met for Industrial Hemp to be legal but for the purposes of this blog, we will stick to this topic.

The Farm Bill states that marijuana or cannabis products containing 0.3 % THC or higher are not legal on a federal level. While CBD is legal on a federal level, be sure to check state laws to ensure it's legality in your state.

CBD has not at this time be approved by the Federal Drug Administration for treatment or cure of any disease except for a few rare forms of epilepsy, dravet syndrome, and lennox-gastaut syndrome.

What is THC and is it Psychoactive

THC which stands for tetrahydrocannabinol which is the psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, and is best known as the content of the plant that gives users of marijuana plant products the sensation commonly referred to as the “high” effect. Although tetrahydrocannabinol content produces the psychoactive effects, it does NOT produce all of the same health benefits that cannabis has become known for. In some cases, THC may have a very negative effect on mental health, or lung health if smoked.

The cannabinoid CBD on its own behaves in a different way within the body than THC does, and this mechanism may give CBD oil a unique and special means of producing a positive effect in different ways for both physical and mental therapeutic effects.

First lets discuss the three most common types of CBD oil in the marketplace, Full Spectrum CBD oil (contains THC) Broad-spectrum CBD oil (does not contain THC) and CBD Isolate.

Types of CBD Products

Full Spectrum CBD Oils

Full Spectrum is a cannabidiol product that uses all of the cannabinoids of the Hemp plant.  There are over 100 cannabinoids in the hemp plant and full spectrum contains all of them INCLUDING THC.  If you want to avoid tetrahydrocannabinol, this product is not for you as it will contain tetrahydrocannabinol at some level less than 0.3 percent.

Isolate CBD

An Isolate CBD only uses one of the cannabinoids of the cannabis plant and it is usually CBD.  The rest of the cannabinoids and terpenes including THC are stripped out during the co2 extraction process.  What is left is simply the one compound "isolated."  If you are only looking for CBD, choose a CBD isolate but realize you will not be experience the benefits of the entourage effect.

Broad Spectrum CBD

Broad Spectrum CBD lies somewhere between full spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate.  The best Broad Spectrum products like those sold at Palm Organix online shop leave all the major cannabinoids and terpenes in place and strip out only the THC content.  This leads to the entourage effect plus it gives the CBD user the best of both worlds; all the benefits of the Cannabis minus any negative psychoactive effects.  For these reasons, many believe a zero THC (o.o%) Broad Spectrum CBD to be superior to CBD isolate and Full Spectrum CBD made from hemp.

Note- All CBD tinctures use a carrier oil such as olive, grape, or coconut (MCT oil).

Reasons to Avoid THC in CBD oils

Drug Testing

Without question, the number one reason to avoid THC content is drug tests.  Many people are subject to testing for work or sports.  The last thing they want is for their drug tests to show tetrahydrocannabinol on their lab reports because they are using CBD oil Tinctures.  Losing a job or getting fired because you consume CBD for health and wellness benefits and did not realize you might fail a test for tetrahydrocannabinol is a real concern for many.

CBD oil Without THC for Religious beliefs

Some religions frown on the use of drugs.  Even though some Hemp CBD products only contain trace amounts of THC content in their CBD oil tinctures or other CBD products, there is a strong chance that .3% THC will appear on lab test results and this would be against their beliefs.

Children and Tetrahydrocannabinol 

Some parents are dosing their children with CBD and even though full spectrum CBD products may only contain trace amount or less than 0.3 THC, parents are uncomfortable giving their children a cannabidiol product that contains THC.  Therefore many parents are choosing Broad spectrum CBD oil without THC and confirming this to be the case by reviewing the lab reports of the CBD product.

Psychoactive or Negative Effect

Although full spectrum CBD products only have trace amounts of THC, some people have a high sensitivity to THC and may have had a bad experience.  For these people it is best to avoid THC altogether.  Broad Spectrum CBD oils is the product that will best avoid this scenario yet still allow for the entourage effect.  Refer to the CBD product lab reports to confirm levels.

Military

Many in the military use CBD oil for numerous health and wellness goals.  As you likely know, the US military is a huge employer of men and women in the United States but also have strict testing measures in place.  If you are in the military, avoid THC.

Benefits of THC Free Cannabidiol

 #1 THC Free CBD Oils May Promote a Healthy Mental State

Arguably the most important benefit of THC Free CBD is that it may promote a healthy mental state without having to consume any levels of THC. We all get periods of feeling blue, but THC Free CBD oil might induce a more positive state of mind. CBD acts as an agonist of 5-HT1A receptors. 5-HT1A receptors, also known as serotonin receptors, are thought to play a significant role in mood and social behavior. By interacting with these receptors, CBD may help to promote a positive mental state.

sleeping

#2 THC Free CBD Oil May Promote a Healthy Sleep 

Another benefit of CBD oil product without THC is it may promote a healthy night's sleep. Sleep is essential to a healthy life. With more than 30% of the population reporting significant troubles getting to sleep, the promise of better sleep is one of the main reasons people report taking CBD even though CBD oil is not FDA approved for sleep.

Even without THC, CBD may be everything you need to sleep as CBD may increase the amount of sleep you’re getting if you aren’t currently getting enough. The endocannabinoid system shows signs of regulating one of the key stages of sleep, NREM sleep. CBD may also help those that cannot fall asleep by the ways it interacts with serotonin receptors.

#3 THC Drug Testing While Using CBD Oil

One of the best reasons to take CBD oil without THC is that CBD should not show up on a drug test screening for detectable levels of THC as supported by the manufactures lab tests (THC-Free is defined as 0.0% no detectable THC). Most drug screening tests look for THC, not CBD. Therefore if your job requires drug testing, it might be wise to choose the best THC free CBD oil product. By choosing a THC Free CBD oil, you will not get “high” and a test screening for THC will likely not show up even in trace amounts yet you will receive the beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes and these products will still promote the entourage effect.

#4 THC has Several Established Negative Side-Effects

If you have seen any movies with characters that smoke marijuana, you would be familiar with THC’s short term effects, such as red eyes, dry mouth, memory loss, hunger, and reduced reaction time. These side-effects are all by-products of THC’s psychoactive effects. Some lesser-known effects of THC also include anxiety and increased heart rate. Additionally, there are significant risks associated with THC among teenagers, and studies show that long-term consumption of THC in teenage years may be connected to negative psychiatric effects.

On the other hand, CBD oil without THC content seems to be well tolerated in most populations, with side effects (at very high doses) being dry mouth or perhaps sleepiness.  For these reasons, broad spectrum products are the go to CBD oils.

ECS

#5 CBD and The Endocannabinoid System.

Last but not least, a primary benefit of hemp THC Free CBD oil is the balancing of the endocannabinoid system. Actually, one of  the main differences between CBD and THC comes in the way in which they interact with the endocannabinoid system. Although THC and CBD have similar chemical structures, THC actually binds to the chemical receptors of the endocannabinoid system, specifically the CB1 (cannabinoid 1) receptor and mimics the actions of the endocannabinoids themselves, which gives THC its psychoactive effects. This binding is what leads to feelings of being high or euphoric.

Pure CBD, however, does not bind to the receptors in the endocannabinoid system. In fact, CBD disrupts the binding of THC to CB1 receptors, and lowers the psychoactive effects of it. Pure CBD works on the enzymes that are responsible for re-uptaking the endocannabinoids after they have been used. By improving the ECS, all systems of the body experience an increase in their function. This may lead to overall health and wellness.

Important Lab Testing Info you need to Know

Regardless of the choice you make based on what is best for your particular needs, you need to know that it is incredibly important to choose a product that has been third party lab tested.

Third party lab testing is testing conducted by a non affiliated party to the CBD brand and will confirm that the product contains what the manufacturer is stating.  Meaning if you are choosing a Broad Spectrum product, the third party lab tests will confirm (0.0% THC).  If the product you are considering does not offer independent testing, this is a red flag and a CBD product you want to avoid.

Lastly, these tests will also confirm that the CBD product is free from any harsh chemicals, heavy metals and pesticides whether you choose Full Spectrum THC CBD, Broad Spectrum or CBD Isolate.

Conclusion:

There are many reasons CBD without THC is an extremely popular product choice when using CBD oil tinctures and other products for various health benefits.  If you go with a broad spectrum product, you will avoid any of the potential negative outcomes outlined above while still benefitting from the other cannabinoids and terpenes present in high quality hemp.
