Wisconsinites Curious about Hemp and CBD Oil

Wednesday, April 25th, 2018 -- 9:02 AM

-With the opening of PriceLand Hemp in Black River Falls and Wisconsin farmers able to grow hemp, people of Wisconsin are beginning to learn more about the product.

Many people don’t understand the differences between hemp and marijuana or understand that there is a difference at all. Hemp is the cannabis plant when it is being grown for its seeds and fiber. Hemp and marijuana are both varieties of the cannabis plant and both have different purposes and uses. Hemp has been used as a source of food, paper, oil, textiles and cordage and is one of the oldest domesticated plants. Because hemp is a variety of the cannabis plant, there is confusion as to what makes it different from marijuana. Many people may ask “Will hemp get me high?” or “Does hemp have THC?” Hemp will not get you high and contains under .3% THC. It will not make you fail a drug test and is perfectly safe to eat, use as a soap or lotion and wear or use as a textile. One big use of hemp is CBD Oil.

Hemp contains Cannabidiol or CBD. CBD is present in more significant quantities in hemp than marijuana, and because it is non-psychoactive, CBD is widely regarded as the cannabinoid with the most medicinal potential by researchers. CBD interacts with the body’s natural endocannabinoid system to promote homeostasis. Studies have determined the CBD Oil may help relieve chronic pain, calm childhood epilepsy, reduce anxiety and depression, fight multi-drug resistant bacteria, reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, help schizophrenia, promote healthy weight, improve heart health, improve skin conditions, fight cancer and more.
