Are you curious about all the hoopla with Hemp CBD? Here's a minuet part of the enormous amount of information I've learned researching Hemp CBD.
The financial industry suggests that it's even more lucrative than the California gold rush that lasted from January 24, 1848 through 1855. A new study done by Forbes suggests that Hemp CBD market could reach 20 Billion Dollars by 2024.
The medical community is quietly waiting to see what happens with pharmaceutical aspects of this phenomenon. "A WebMD article says that The U.S. Food and Drug Administration took a good look at the safety and effectiveness of CBD products as it weighs how to best regulate the hemp-derived compound going forward."
CBD is a type of cannabinoid with over 100 different cannabinoids found throughout Hemp plants.
According to echoconnection.org "Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is among the most abundant of all the cannabinoids. It's found in all varieties of cannabis but dominates the makeup of Hemp plants."
Hemp Oil and CBD Oil both are made from the same plant though. Hemp oil is very beneficial containing a lot of antioxidants and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Hemp oil is normally pressed from the seeds of the hemp plant, which means it does not contain the same amount of cannabinoids found in CBD oil or Hemp Extract which are extracted from the whole plant.
Is CBD Hemp legal? "Entrepreneur VIP contributor John Rampton writes, "The 2018 Farm Bill legalized Hemp and Hemp-derived products on a federal level. The DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), CBD oil from hemp is no longer a Schedule 1 controlled-substance, or drug. Per section 10113 of the Farm Bill, Hemp cannot contain more than 0.3 percent THC by weight."
Are you still curious about this phenomenal Hemp Plant? CBD oil uses the whole plant, while hemp oil comes from its seeds. CBD oil is made from a variety of parts of the mature hemp plant including its stalks and flowers. In order to get CBD and other compounds from the plant, they must be separated in a process called extraction
Education is the key to using CBD for health issues or for marketing or investing in the HEMP CBD Industry.
However, I have personally witnessed some of the health benefits and the safety of CBD, Regardless of how it's presented, HEMP CBD Oil has played an important role in my life.
If you do decide to try 250g CBD Blüten the health benefits of Hemp CBD Oil, just be aware that all CBD is not the same. Do your home-work. Find a good grade before you buy.

Are you experiencing depression? If so, you are not alone and are among the millions of Americans plagued by this mood disorder. A recent article shared new statistical details about how depression in the U.S. is on the rise.
Apparently the diagnosis of depression increased 33% between years 2011 and 2014. (1) Previously, The National Center for Health Statistics reported that antidepressant use jumped 65% in 15 years between 1999 and 2014: from 7.7% of Americans to 12.7% for those 12 and older, twice as high for women than men, and 19.1% for those 60 and older. (2)
The good news, they say, is that "universal depression screenings" are happening more routinely, and that this mood disorder is no longer in the closet: people are talking about it and treating it... with pharmaceutical drugs.
I am left to wonder why this depressive state has grown by leaps and bounds? For one thing, there's a whole lot that has changed in the world since January 1, 2000. It's enough to make anyone depressed. I probably missed something, below, but here are the examples I can recall:
Pharmaceutical companies are the big winners.
Though most of the antidepressant-package inserts warn of one or another side-effect, pharmaceutical antidepressants are the ubiquitous 'go to" solution and coping mechanism for depression. Additionally, besides the side effects, many people report difficulty in getting off antidepressants when they are ready to do so.
Depression has been linked to increased neuro-inflammation. It is common knowledge now that inflammation is a precursor to many different disease processes.
Enter therapeutic cannabis.
Cannabis is known to reduce inflammation and holds great promise in studies about depression. (3) Due to its chemical compounds, especially THC and CBD, actual healing, not just symptom masking, can occur to restore deficient parts of the brain and immune system. (4) It is non-toxic, cost-effective and has little to no side-effects whatsoever.
"... the team analyzed data from Strainprint, a mobile application cannabis users can use to track changes in symptoms after using different doses and cannabis chemotypes. Overall, self-reported symptoms of depression decreased by 50 percent." (5)
So why don't more people try cannabis medicinally before heading down the pharma trail? I suggest there are three main reasons:
As far as I can tell the multiple devastating events of this 21st century have radically changed the world from as we once knew it: disorienting at best and depressing at worst for those who know the difference. That said, I believe it is still absolutely possible to take flight from depression and remain emotionally and mentally well through it all with the assistance of responsible, therapeutic cannabis use.
The world may not change in ways we prefer but we can.
