WHAT IS
CBD?
CANNABIDIOL (CBD), is derived from the HEMP plant, but is not marijuana. Unlike marijuana, there is NO euphoric high.
CBD regulates the cannabinoids that attach to certain receptors in our body, CB1 & CB2. Our bodies naturally produce these in the endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system governs all aspects of our health. Sleep, diet, stress, inflammation, immune response, and cognitive function. People and pets benefit from the overall healthy functioning of the ECS.

WHAT IS CBG ?
Derived from the hemp plant and also produced in the Endo Cannabinoid System (ECS), CANNABIGEROL is the mother of cannabinoids. It is NON-intoxicating, like CBD. It’s important because all other cannabinoids rely on CBG. It binds with the CB1 & CB2 receptors and helps our bodies reach a state of homeostasis, or balance.
More and more attention is being paid to CBG. A wide array of products are now being manufactured using CBG. Benefits include reducing chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia, and ADHD.

"CBD IS FOR PETS, TOO."
Like humans, pets suffer from pain, anxiety, seizures, aggression, etc. Their bodies also contain the Endo
Cannabinoid System.
When animals consume CBD it helps by regulating all aspects of their health, including the immune system.
As a natural anti-inflammatory, pet CBD can help reduce or eliminate many symptoms like chronic pain, aggression, inflamation and more.
Historical Use of CBD
Ancient civilizations used cannabis sativa for a wide array of ailments, like malaria, rheumatic pains, constipation, and childbirth. It is believed that the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was the first to describe the therapeutic properties of cannabis in 2737 B.C.E.
Western medicine was introduced to the plant in 1839. It was usually available as a tincture comprised of plant extract. The late 19th and early 20th century was the pinnacle of use in this country when cannabis extracts were marketed by Merck, Bristol Meyers Squibb, Parks-Davis, and others.
Fast forward to today. Medical cannabis uses standardized dosing and takes into account each individual’s response.
