  • What is it
    • CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of over 100 cannabinoids
    • Derives from the hemp plant
    • non-psychoactive, contains < 0.3% THC
    • The Farm Bill passed in December 2018 both legalizes hemp as an agricultural commodity and removes it from the controlled substances list
  • Potential benefits (emerging research)
    • Epilepsy and seizure disorders
    • Pain and inflammation
    • PTSD and anxiety
    • IBD – Crohn’s disease & Ulcerative Colitis
    • IBS – Irritable Bowel Syndrome
    • Multiple sclerosis
    • Opioid withdrawal
    • Preventive health
  • How to use it
    • Oils, Creams, Vaping
    • Oils can be taken as a supplement (hold it under your tongue) or topically
    • Find recipes on Emily's website
  • Cautions
    • Dosing is individualized
    • You can get too much, like anything else
    • The industry is not regulated, like all supplements
      • Look for a safe, reliable brand
      • Emily offers recommendations
  • Side effects
    • Nausea
    • irritability
    • increased INR (if on coumadin)
    • increase other meds (like grapefruit juice)
  • How to Pick a Safe CBD Product
    • Hemp Origin. Was the raw hemp used to produce the CBD produced in the United States? Ideally you want a product that was grown in the USA and organic, if possible (although nearly impossible to verify as USDA certifications are not yet available).
    • Extraction Process - Was the product solvent extracted or CO2 extracted? Supercriticial CO2 extraction is the gold standard and safest extraction method. Solvent extractions leave behind unsafe and unwanted byproducts.
    • Additional Ingredients - The only ingredients should be CBD extract and a carrier oil like MCT coconut oil or hemp seed oil. Avoid any additional artificial sweeteners, dyes, or unwanted ingredients.
    • 3rd Party Verification - All products should come with 3rd party verification from an accredited lab and provide a Certificate of Analysis to prove that what is in their product is truly in the product.
