Cannabis Use During the Pandemic

New data reveals shifting cannabis consumption patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What are Cannabinoids?

Cannabis is a species of flowering plant that has been cultivated since the beginning of mankind, and is still used today for for medicinal purposes, and a slew of other things. The cannabis plant contains relatively large amounts of what’s known as cannabinoids, which are basically natural chemicals within the plant.

There are well over one hundred different cannabinoids, all with their own unique molecular structure and potential health benefits.

What Are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are cannabis-related chemicals, such as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main ingredient that also affects the brain and gives people who consume it a euphoric feeling. The cannabis plant contains more than 100 cannabinoids.

Check out a full list of cannabinoids by one of our trusted brands, New Phase Blends.

What is Full Spectrum CBD Oil

Full spectrum CBD oil is a hot topic in the health and wellness industry. You may have heard about it, but you might not know what it is, or what all the publicity is about. CBD oil is derived from the cannabis plant, but it doesn’t get you high at all – it’s nonintoxicating.

Instead, CBD oil has been shown to provide a host of health benefits.

This post will examine what is full spectrum CBD oil and explore some of the potential benefits behind this wildly popular compound that has taken the United States by storm.

What is Full Spectrum CBD Oil?

Full spectrum CBD oil is a term used to describe CBD oil that has been extracted from the hemp plant in its entirety. This means that the oil contains all cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils found in the hemp plant.

The main difference between full-spectrum CBD and CBD isolate is that full-spectrum CBD contains all of the cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant, while CBD isolates only contain CBD. This means that full-spectrum CBD oil will have a broader range of benefits than CBD isolate.

Encouraging Cancer Research

New studies highlight therapeutic potential of cannabinoids for cancer, but clinical trials are lacking.

CBG Oil: What is It? Why Should You Care?

Haven’t heard of CBG, or more specifically, CBG oil? It’s pretty famous! CBG stands for cannabigerol, and this plant compound has been given the title of mother of all other phytocannabinoids with good reason!

What is CBG?

As the cannabis plant goes through its flowering cycle, CBGA (the cannabigerol acidic form of CBG) goes through an important process. Enzymes held within the hemp plant break down the Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) into various other cannabinoid acids. The most common cannabigerolic acid forms are cannabidiolic (CBDA) and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA).

The plant goes through a process known as decarboxylation, which means a heating or aging process. This process converts those acids to CBD, CBG, and THC. In short, this means that without CBG and that specific plant process, those popular cannabinoids such as CBD and THC would not exist. And without CBG, you wouldn’t get any CBD/CBG products such as gummies, balms, topicals, and vapes. Thanks, CBG!

CBG Oil vs. CBD Oil

Now you know what CBG is, and the process the cannabis plant goes through to make it, how is CBG different from CBD? Chemical structure aside, the main difference between CBG and CBD is how they interact with the cannabinoid receptors and enzymes inside the human body.

For example, CBG binds directly with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system. This is the system in charge of controlling many of the functions of the organs within the human body. CBD interacts with this system also but not as directly as CBG does.
