How does CBD work in my body and what is the Endocannabinoid System?
CBD interacts directly with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) already present in our bodies. Mammals, including both people and pets, have an ECS. This ECS has a number of receptors that help regulate important bodily functions such as neurotransmitter and hormone secretion, temperature, metabolism, as well as controlling inflammation, to name only a few. CBD essentially benefits the body by acting as a natural booster to the functions that the ECS is performing. Palm Organix™ CBD is best used as a supplement.

Cannabinoids are the active compounds that are naturally produced by the cannabis plant. The vast majority of the health benefits of cannabis are attributed to cannabinoids. The cannabinoids that are found in plants are referred to as phytocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids have the potential to mimic neurotransmitters that are produced naturally in the human body called endocannabinoids.
Terpenes are a classification of unstable hydrocarbon compounds. They are produced in the flower clusters cannabis plants. Terpenes are the compound that gives cannabis its distinct aroma. Terpenes have been used by humans for decades in the practice known as aromatherapy. Terpenes are also used in a variety of foods and cosmetic products.
What is the entourage effect?
Broad-spectrum CBD contains a variety of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds. Each compound has a specific therapeutic effect on the human body. Terpenes can affect how the body responds to cannabinoids. As a result, the combined effect is often greater than the sum of the individual effects. The overall effect produced is known as the entourage effect. Products such as CBD isolates, do not have the benefit of the entourage effect associated with Broad Spectrum CBD.

Though many believe CBD to be the same as a hemp seed oil product, they are in fact very different. The production of CBD involves extracting the oil from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. The production of hemp seed oil involves pressing the plant’s seeds (a similar process to producing other seed oils like sesame or corn oil). Unlike CBD oil, hemp seed oil does not contain cannabinoids. Hemp seed oil has been sold at health food and grocery stores for decades because it is rich in fatty acids, and is commonly used for cooking.
What is the difference between CBD and Hemp? CBD and THC?
CBD is a molecular compound found in the extract of the cannabis plant. Hemp is a group of cannabis strains that are grown for fibers, food and health benefits. Palm Organix™ CBD is extracted from a proprietary strain of hemp known as PCR hemp — or phytocannabinoid-rich hemp. This proprietary strain is far richer in CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes than the basic hemp plant used by most CBD producers.

What is the difference between Marijuana and Hemp?
Marijuana and hemp are both strains of the cannabis plant. The marijuana plant contains high levels of THC, the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis. Hemp also contains THC, but the levels are negligible so it does not cause a psychoactive high. Additionally, hemp is not categorized as a drug so long as the THC levels are below the .3% limit recently mandated by the Farm Bill Act of 2018. At Palm Organix™, we undergo an additional patented process that removes all levels of THC. All of our Palm Organix™ CBD products are 100% THC free!
Why should I choose CBD instead of medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis, also known as medical marijuana, is known for its intoxicating and euphoric effects. The main distinction is that medical cannabis contains higher levels of THC, the cannabinoid that causes the psychoactive effects. Medical cannabis has a very real possibility of creating an intoxicating sensation when consuming too much. CBD, on the other hand, is not intoxicating because of the low levels of THC produced by the Hemp plant. Therefore, CBD does not cause the feeling people refer to as “high” and can be used while performing daily physical activities. Palm Organix™ exclusively sells Broad Spectrum CBD products which means our entire line of CBD products is 100% THC free.
What is the definition of "Broad-Spectrum CBD"?
The term "Broad Spectrum" CBD” refers to CBD that contains all the cannabinoids and terpenes naturally occurring in the hemp plant EXCEPT for THC. Broad-spectrum CBD differs from Full spectrum CBD in that Full Spectrum CBD contains trace amounts of THC, versus Broad Spectrum CBD which does not contain any THC. There are also CBD products made using CBD isolate, which is simply a single cannabinoid molecule that has been extracted from the hemp plant.
Can Broad Spectrum CBD oil be psychoactive?
Broad Spectrum CBD is not psychoactive. At Palm Organix™, all of our CBD products are made with broad-spectrum oils which have had all traces of THC removed. Our CBD products do not cause a high or create any negative psychoactive side effects.
