What Is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is one of over 100 naturally occurring compounds identified in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating and does not produce a "high".
​
CBD is commonly extracted from federally compliant hemp plants containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis under the 2018 Farm Bill. It is commonly used in oils, tinctures, gummies, capsules, topicals, and other wellness products.

What is CBG?
CBG, or cannabigerol, is often referred to as the "mother cannabinoid" because other cannabinoids like CBD and THC originate from its acidic precursor during the plant's growth cycle.
​
CBG is non-intoxicating and is commonly included in wellness products alongside CBD.
What is CBN?
CBN, or cannabinol, is a cannabinoid that naturally forms as THC ages and oxidizes over time.
​
It is considered mildly psychoactive but generally non-intoxicating in hemp-derived products and is commonly found in tinctures, gummies, and nighttime formulations.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds naturally found in hemp and many other plants. They contribute to the plant's scent, flavor, and overall profile.
​
Common terpenes include myrcene, limonene, pinene, linalool, and caryophyllene.
​
What Is the Entourage Effect?
The entourage effect is a theory suggesting that cannabinoids, terpenes, and other naturally occurring hemp compounds may interact differently when present together.
​
This is why many consumers prefer full-spectrum hemp products that preserve more of the plant's natural profile.
