Q. What is the difference between Cannabis and Hemp plants?

A. Hemp is referred to plants that contains less than 0.3% THC, and because this tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) level is so low, it is unlikely to get you high (Ferguson, 2020). The term “Cannabis” (also known as marijuana, weed, pot, flower, grass) is used to describe cannabis plants that contain more than 0.3% THC and gets you high, or medicated (Ferguson, 2020).

Q. What is CBD, CBG, and CBN?

A. Cannabidiol (CBD) is directly derived from the hemp plant and is non-intoxicating. It is used for pain management, anxiety relief, sleep benefits, and seizure reduction. Cannabigerol (CBG) is also non-intoxicating, similar to CBD, and has benefits such as, digestive aid, pain & inflammation reduction, and depression relief. Lastly, Cannabinol (CBN) is non-intoxicating even though it is derived from aged and degraded THC through a chemical conversion. CBN is mostly known for its aid with insomnia and other sleeping ailments, as well as appetite stimulation and Neuroprotection (prevents neurotransmitters from being damaged) (“Remedy Pain Solutions,” 2022).

Q. What is the difference between Delta-8 and THC (Delta-9)?

A. Delta-8 (D8) is found in small amounts in cannabis plants and is very similar to Delta-9 (D9, or THC) in its chemical structure. D8 has been known to have little to no psychoactive effects, unlike D9, and is said to have the same medical benefits to help with depression, chronic pain, panic attacks, and more (Ferguson, 2022). D9 is found abundantly in cannabis plants and what is known to produce intoxicating effects, or the “high” feeling. According to research, D9 helps with glaucoma, pain relief, depression, anxiety, seizures, insomnia, and more (Ferguson, 2022).

Q. What does ‘Live’, ‘Cured’, and ‘Full-Spec’ mean?

A. When a product refers to being “Live,” it means that the cannabis plant was alive and fresh when it was frozen immediately after harvest, which doesn’t allow the plant any time to dry or decay preserving the natural terpenes (flavors and aromas) (YoDabbaDabba, 2023). “Cured” refers to the typical harvesting process where the plant is hanged and dried prior to trimming and extraction (YoDabbaDabba, 2023). When the term, “Full Spectrum” or “Full-Spec” is used, this means that the cannabis extract contains all of the natural cannabinoids and terpenes of the cannabis plant. This includes but is not limited to THC, THCa, CBD, CBDa, CBG, and CBN (O’Driscoll, 2022).
