What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD)

CBD is the abbreviation for a substance whose full name is Cannabidiol, a substance that is part of a group of substances known as cannabinoids, and which are the substances found in the hemp plant, especially in the inflorescences of the female plant. The Latin (and thus scientific) name for hemp is “Cannabis sativa”, from where the word “cannabis” comes from. However, the word “cannabis” is unfortunately used misleading to denote the processed drug hemp and its products, while the word “hemp” is misleading to denote the processed industrial hemp and its products. But it is thus the same plant, though refined in different directions (just like you can refine tomatoes or any other crop).

Terpenes that
we use

And the purpose is primarily to give the CBD products the characteristic scent that hemp has, and to add the properties that these terpenes are supposed to have. The terpenes included are described below.

We have added 1.5% mixture of 8 such terpenes, which correspond to the 8 most common terpenes in a certain type of hemp called Indian hemp (“Cannabis sativa indica”), and this in the right mixing ratio. These terpenes are as follows (arranged from largest to smallest amount):

Myrcene

Found in mango, hops and thyme, among others and is claimed to be anti-inflammatory and have analgesic effect.

Beta-Caryophyllene

Found in black pepper and rosemary, among other things) and allegedly activate certain receptors in our endocannabinoid system and have anti-inflammatory effects).

Linalool

Found among other things in lavender and is said to have a relaxing and soothing effect.

Limonene

Found in citrus fruit shells, for example and is said to have a stress-relieving and anti-anxiety effect.

Humulene

Found in hops, among others and is said to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Terpinolene

Found in lilies, among other things and is said to have a stimulating and uplifting effect as well as bactericidal and fungicidal effect.

Alpha-Pinene and Beta-Pinene

Found in basil and rosemary, among others and are said to have pain-relieving and anti-anxiety effects in addition to being anti-inflammatory.

How does CBD work?

Only during the 1990s did medical researchers discover that all animals, incl. man, has a so-called "Endocannabinoid system", a complex system of receptors found almost everywhere in our body, which regulates virtually all of the body's functions, and that our body produces body-specific cannabinoids. And that many physical and mental medical problems and illnesses can be linked to a lack of these body-specific endocannabinoids. But that the body's own production of cannabinoids is short-lived and usually not enough to keep our body in balance. In addition, research has found that the most important bodily cannabinoid has its equivalent to a substance found in nature, but only in the plant hemp, and it is precisely cannabidiol - CBD - the cannabinoid most commonly found in hemp. For those who want to read more about our endocannabinoid system, we refer to Wikipedia.

CBD Oil

In the production of CBD oil, a vegetable oil is added. It would have been natural to use hemp seed oil from the same plant. But even though the seed cores and thus the seed oil are theoretically completely free of cannabinoids, there are smaller amounts of cannabinoids on the outside of the seeds, so when the seed oil is pressed out of the seeds they follow, resulting in admittedly extremely small and practically uninteresting, yet measurable values. of THC. Therefore, we instead use a seed oil from the plant oil cane (Camelina sativa), better known by the name Camelina oil, which otherwise has very similar properties to the hemp seed oil. This camelina oil is organically grown in Sweden. This makes our products unique and 100% THC-free.

Opportunities and difficulties

One of the fastest growing industries on the stock market now is the so-called the cannabis market, and which means everything from recreational to medical cannabis, which also includes CBD products. Canada is the first country to fully legalize cannabis, and many states in the US have followed suit, and more states are legalizing. And most in the industry make the assessment that it is only a matter of time before the United States federally legalizes cannabis. More and more countries around the world have also approved the prescription of medical cannabis as medicine. The medicine Sativex has already been around for a few years, which is an oral spray with a balanced amount of CBD and THC, and which is primarily prescribed for MS (spasticity and neuropathy) by the British pharmaceutical company GW Pharmaceuticals Plc.

This company has its own hemp cultivations in England and thus controls everything from cultivation to final production and sales to wholesalers in all the countries that have approved this drug. The same company has now also received the CBD oil Epidiolex (Epidyolex) approved as a drug by the FDA and EMA (the pharmaceutical plants in the USA and EU respectively) for the treatment of more severe forms of epilepsy. Both of these medicines are expensive, and we have shown that we can make virtually identical copies of these at less than half the price, and this already on a small scale.
