EYE FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The hemp plant lends itself to more than 50,000 different applications due to its versatility. This makes the cultivation of hemp particularly sustainable: after all, every part of the plant can be used, such as the seeds for hemp oil, the stems for packaging material, the flower tops for CBD and the roots for compost. That way, nothing of the plant is lost.

Another sustainability aspect is that the plant grows very quickly. In a hundred days the plant can reach a height of three meters. Because the plants can grow so close together, weeds don't stand a chance. This makes pesticides virtually unnecessary. The same goes for fertilization: the roots of the hemp plant compost particularly well, so that composted roots enrich the soil and serve as food for the new plants.

PURITY OF OUR CBD
Our CBD is guaranteed free from chemicals, pesticides or metals. We do not use these substances in production, so you will not find them in the final product.

DELIVERY DOMESTIC AND ABROAD
We ship throughout Europe. Within the Netherlands, delivery takes on average one working day. Outside the Netherlands it can take a few days.

OUR STOCK
We have all our products in stock, because we like to know what we are selling and because only in this way can we control the quality of our CBD products. The third advantage of our stock is that you will receive your product the next working day - if the delivery address is in the Netherlands and you arrive before 22.30 h. orders.

-----------------------------------

What is CBD Oil?

Cannabidiol, one of the most important cannabinoids, is referred to as CBD for short. The well-known CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis plant. Both the flower (buds) and the leaves of this plant are used. The many active substances of the cannabis plant are the cannabinoids. Some of these cannabinoids bear striking resemblance to various neurotransmitters (the endocannabidoid system) in the human nervous system. This immediately explains the effectiveness of CBD.

Today, CBD is widely used in natural supplements. It can be found in various forms, including health food stores and vitamin shops. CBD oil is easy to dose and use. A drop placed under the tongue is almost immediately absorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, of all CBD products, the oil is the most sold.

Another well-known cannabinoid is THC. This is a psychoactive substance that expands or narrows consciousness. We find this substance in weed and hash, which has been widely used in the Netherlands for relaxation since the 1960s.

However, CBD is a substance that does not affect consciousness. It doesn't get you stoned or high. That is why you can safely use it in traffic and at work.

-----------------------------------

CBD and CBD-A

The cannabis plant contains dozens of cannabinoids. CBD is one of them, but varieties are also present in the plant. A pure precursor to CBD is the cannabinoid CBD-A. The method of processing the hemp plant determines whether the CBD-A can be extracted or whether it is lost. With regular CBD products, the plant is heated and then the CBD-A is lost, but nowadays it is also possible to work with cold extraction and it is preserved. The end product of this cold extraction is also called RAW mentioned. The advantage of this CBD-A is that all essential plant-specific substances in this CBD oil are preserved after extraction. Also in our capsules we have made sure that the CBD-A has been preserved.

-----------------------------------

Advantages versus disadvantages of CBD oil
The use of CBD has many advantages, such as:

A sustainable and pure natural product;

Can be used for many purposes;

Easy to take;

Safe to use, overdose is virtually impossible;

Not addictive and therefore suitable for long-term use;

Contributes to general well-being;

Easy and accurate to dose;

Easy to carry in capsule form;

Suitable for small and large animals (consult the veterinarian).

There are also some drawbacks to CBD, however, the benefits of CBD far outweigh these drawbacks. One of those disadvantages is that the oil is not cheap and that the consumer often does not know what he or she is buying. In addition, a disadvantage of CBD is that there are many products on the market that do not meet the quality requirements. Carefully study the specifications from a supplier and request an analysis report if desired. Also keep in mind that the effect of CBD differs per person, because each person's balance and condition is different. The advice is always to start using it carefully, after some time to evaluate the effect and then adjust the dose if necessary. Furthermore, there are people who cannot get used to the taste of CBD oil. However, this drawback can easily be overcome by switching to odorless and tasteless capsules. This way you have the advantages, but not the disadvantages of CBD.

Also be careful when using it abroad. CBD is not legal everywhere. Inform yourself in advance when you travel. The fact that the CBD is not legal can be partly due to the percentage of THC content. In the Netherlands, CBD is legal when it contains less than 0.2% THC.

-----------------------------------

Research and claims

Food supplements such as CBD are covered by the Commodities Act. This means that no unfounded claims may be made about the operation. Claims regarding a product are only founded if scientific research has been done on it. After the claim has been submitted to EFSA and approved by this authority, it may only be listed on a label.

On the one hand, such a procedure is understandable, but it leads to undesirable consequences, especially for natural medicines.

When we want to buy a pack of herbal tea, we have to ask the saleswoman what the effect of the product is. A pity, because the use of sustainable natural products should be promoted.

-----------------------------------

Findings by Harvard Medical School

Fortunately, research is being done into the effect of CBD. A completed study is that of Harvard Medical School, one of the best-known universities in the world. The beneficial effects of CBD that these researchers have established with certainty are:

Stress reduction

Sleep better

Pain regulation

What we can still establish objectively is that it is likely that CBD as a neurotransmitter in the ECS can support the same functions that the ECS naturally supports. For example, we are talking about an improvement in mood, which improves the quality of life as a whole.

-----------------------------------

Cannabis, hemp, weed and marijuana

Hemp, weed and marijuana are all varieties of the cannabis family. Weed and marijuana are names for the same product: this is the product that goes into the joints and the space cake that are sold in the coffee shops. Hemp is another variety of the cannabis plant.

Hemp and marijuana (weed) differ from each other in the amount of THC and CBD in the plant. That is why one type is suitable for the extraction of CBD oil and the other type is not. Conversely, this also applies to the cultivation of weed: customers of the coffee shop are not happy if the home dealer sells them leaves from the wrong plant!

-----------------------------------

MARIJUANA

This cannabis plant is grown to contain as much THC as possible, especially in the buds. This so-called breeding is done by crossing the best plants and by carefully cultivating them with additional nutrients, heat and light. Advanced installations are being installed for this. Much of this equipment is for sale in Chinese web shops, even though everyone knows what it is used for. However, the sale of lamps cannot be punishable.

Growing cannabis (marijuana) for personal use is tolerated in the Netherlands up to a maximum number of plants of about five. However, commercial cannabis cultivation is not allowed in the Netherlands and almost all other countries. It is illegal and punishable. Upon discovery, a cannabis plantation is completely dismantled.

Cannabis plantations are often discovered because they use too much power. This is discovered, for example, by an energy company. However, cannabis also gives off a very pungent, intoxicating scent that helps discover a location. Once you recognize the scent, you can smell it from a great distance. Never go there yourself if you suspect a cannabis plantation somewhere, but consult the police.

Due to the ambiguous Dutch tolerance policy (limited possession is allowed, trade and cultivation is not) many foreign criminals are active who are not averse to using violence.

-----------------------------------

HEMP

This cannabis plant has been grown industrially - and now also medicinally - for centuries. Cultivation is legal in the Netherlands and most other countries. The condition is that the plant does not contain more than 0.3% THC. This level is so low that it no longer has any psychoactive effect and that the plant has become uninteresting for the extraction of THC products.

When we see a cannabis field from the car, it is therefore almost always a hemp field. Weed is also grown outdoors, but the producers will go to great lengths to ensure that such a cannabis field is hidden from view as much as possible.

We find legal hemp plants in different qualities. For example, they can contain more or less CBD. Each type of hemp is optimized for its specific application. Some of these uses are:

Cosmetics and skin care. There are many skin and nature-friendly creams based on hemp.

Textile. An age-old hemp product is ship rope. The hemp fiber is incredibly strong and is used on ships to hoist loads on board and to dock the ship. Today, the hemp fiber is increasingly used for the production of durable and comfortable clothing.

· Packing material. The sturdy and tough stem of the hemp plant is processed into paper, cardboard and even plastic.

Medicinal use. There is a lot of CBD in the flower tops. This is recovered by sophisticated refining and extraction processes and then processed into droplets and capsules.

Other products. Hemp seed oil is pressed from the seeds for use in the kitchen, but also for the production of paint, for example. This oil does not contain CBD, but it does contain many vitamins and minerals.

-----------------------------------

CBD oil is not the same as cannabis oil

Cannabis oil contains a lot of THC and broadens or narrows consciousness. People use cannabis oil to get stoned or high. The effect differs from person to person. Because cannabis oil falls under the umbrella term 'soft drugs', its sale and possession (in the Netherlands) is tolerated up to a certain amount.

CBD oil is not the same as cannabis oil. Because it is extracted from specially selected plants, it contains almost no THC. In fact, it is legally stipulated that CBD oil must not contain more than 0.2% THC to be legally sold under this name. Lots that contain a higher content of THC can be confiscated by the regulator.

CBD oil is sold in different qualities with different percentages of CBD. This percentage must be clearly indicated on the packaging and in the sales texts.

In brief:

Cannabis oil and CBD oil are both extracted from the cannabis plant.

Cannabis plants (for cannabis oil) are cannabis plants with a high content of THC

Hemp plants (for CBD oil) are cannabis plants with a high content of CBD

Cannabis oil is not suitable for use during work or in traffic. The ability to react can be (temporarily) seriously affected by use.

CBD oil is safe for use during work and traffic

Keep cannabis oil away from pets and children!

CBD oil is used in medications and supplements for children and pets

Cannabis oil has a psychoactive effect. For many people it has a relaxing and even therapeutic effect. The nebulizing effect is pleasant by many.

CBD oil also has a calming effect, but it keeps you clear.

Overdose of cannabis oil can lead to problems. There are known cases in which even psychotic complaints can occur.

CBD oil is completely safe to use. Overdose does not lead to serious side effects.

-----------------------------------

The effect of CBD

Just before the turn of the century, the ECS was identified in the human body: the endocannabidoid system. This is a neurotransmission system: a system in the brain that collects, receives and sends signals to all organs in the body. The ECS functions as a control room, as it were. Here the release of hormones is regulated and adjusted if necessary. It is important that there is a focal point for this, as all the chemicals in the brain influence each other - not just in the brain, but throughout the body.

It is of course no coincidence that this system was called the endocannabidoid system. This naming was due to the fact that the body's own substances in this system were very similar to a number of cannabidoids from the cannabis plant. The most important of these is cannabidiol - CBD. Because this vegetable extract is so similar to the body's own neurotransmitters from the ECS, deficiencies can be replenished very quickly. The body works effortlessly with this natural product to bring our entire system into balance and function optimally.

Many beneficial properties are attributed to the use of CBD, such as:

Stress reduction

Pain regulation

Positive effect on sleep

· Creates a better mood and more zest for life

-----------------------------------

The production of CBD oil

There are several ways to extract CBD from the cannabis plant. These methods affect the quality, taste and other properties of the CBD oil. We limit ourselves here to three methods: alcohol extraction, oil extraction and CO2 extraction.

1. Alcohol extraction. This simple method can even be applied at the kitchen table. The hemp buds are soaked in the alcohol, the alcohol evaporates and voilà: the CBD remains.

2. Oil extraction. In this method, the CBD is extracted from the tops of the plant by heating to about 80 degrees. This method is much more professional, because it can influence the CBD content in the end product. In this method only the CBD is extracted from the plant. All other cannabinoids from the plant volatilize due to the high temperature. This method is fairly new and provides CBD with a slightly nutty flavor.

3. CO2 extraction. A lot of specialist equipment is needed for this. We do not work with temperature, but with increasing the pressure. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is gaseous under normal conditions, but when the pressure is increased in the extraction installation, it becomes liquid. The liquid gas then serves to extract the CBD from the hemp. This method includes many of the other cannabinoids, resulting in a balanced total product. Another big advantage of this method is that the vitality of the product is optimal, because it is produced according to the RAW nutrition and juice principles: when the plant is not heated above 400, almost all the vitality of the plant is preserved. .

The end product of all these extractions is a thick paste, which is then diluted with oil from, for example, hemp seed or other organic oil.

-----------------------------------

The quality of CBD oil

To determine the quality of CBD oil, the oil must be analyzed in a laboratory. Here it can be determined which substances are in the oil and in what proportions. Such an analysis is made of each batch (batch) of CBD oil by sending a sample (usually a whole bottle) to the laboratory. Since the batch number is stated on the label of each bottle, each bottle of oil can easily be traced back to the relevant report.

For example, the analysis report states what the percentage of cannabinoids in the oil is and whether this corresponds to the amount stated on the label. Feel free to request a report from us if you want to see this.

Because there are so many different qualities of CBD oil for sale, it is good that a quality mark can now be obtained from the CAN (Cannabinoids Adviesbureau Nederland). Such a quality mark provides consumers with guidance in an unclear market.

The quality mark was developed with the cooperation of some professional cannabis researchers. For the quality mark, the CBD oil must then be tested in a laboratory designated by the CAN. In this way it is in any case prevented that a favorable analysis report is 'bought' from a foreign company.

-----------------------------------

Legality

In the Netherlands, the use, possession and trade of CBD is completely legal. Of course there should be no THC in the oil for this, because this psychoactive substance falls under the regulations of the Opium Act. This means, among other things, that you can be fined for driving under the influence of this substance and that ordering can be an issue. There are also many restrictions with regard to the import and export of THC-containing products. Usually this takes place on the margins of crime.

When you buy CBD with a negligible amount of THC, you have no problem. Buy your CBD oil from a reliable webshop, so that you know for sure what the composition of your product is. The products from our own webshop meet all legal requirements. If desired, request an analysis report from us to check the composition.

When you cross the border, you naturally also want to take your CBD oil and capsules with you. It is legal in most other countries as well. Unfortunately, there are a few exceptions to this rule. Even within the EU, the regulations regarding CBD differ. Please contact us and we will check whether CBD is on the blacklist or whether you can travel safely and worry-free to the country of your destination.
