The short answer is that medical grade CBD is more potent and has more health benefits.

I need help finding the right ones.\"\n_____________________\nYes there are quite a lot of hemp products out there, and it can be overwhelming trying to find one that works for you! There are certain things you will want to be aware of before buying hemp derived CBD products. The first would be to always try to find the country of origin, and the type of farm that harvested the hemp. There are many hemp products claiming to be medically beneficial, but they contain industrially grown hemp from China, or other unsafe grows.\nIn addition, you also want to look for products that are lab tested, so you can see exactly what is in the product, whether it is the CBD percentage or that it is free from pesticides. You also want to make sure that the company is transparent, and is able to answer any questions you may have.\n\nnsavelli","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11897-markdown","title":"What is the difference between hemp oil and CBD? Is there a difference?","slug":"what-is-the-difference-between-hemp-oil-and-cbd-is-there-a-difference","content":"\"I've also heard about PCR and that that is CBD. Is this true?\"\n_____________________\nThere are several differences between CBD oil and hemp derived oil. CBD oil is extracted from the actual cannabis plant, whereas hemp derived oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. The seeds of a hemp plant contain very low levels of CBD when compared to a cannabis plant, which can have high levels of CBD. \nHemp derived oil is used mainly for health benefits, while CBD oil is used medicinally. Hemp seeds are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and other beneficial aspects. \nPCR oil stands for Phytocannabinoid rich oil. PCR oil does contain CBD, however the two are not necessarily the same. CBD oil contains a concentrated form of CBD derived from the cannabis plant, whereas PCR oil is a full-spectrum oil, that contains trace amounts of CBD, THC, THCA, CBDA, all the other terpenes and chemicals that can be found in the cannabis plant, in order to provide a widespread medical effect, known as “The entourage effect.”\n\nnsavelli\n_____________________\n     There are several differences between CBD oil and hemp derived oil.

Is CBD from hemp full spectrum?","slug":"what-is-full-spectrum-cbd-is-cbd-from-hemp-full-spectrum","content":"\n_____________________\nFull spectrum CBD is CBD that’s derived from the whole plant, whether hemp or cannabis. This means that full spectrum CBD will include a wide range of cannabinoids that are present in the hemp or cannabis plant. Having a wide range of cannabinoids present provides a greater effect rather than just having CBD alone because the cannabinoids all work together and create what’s known as the “entourage effect”. \n\nThis also means that CBD from hemp is full spectrum, as long as it’s derived from the full plant. The hemp plant has all of the cannabinoids as well as a trace amount of THC, which is about 0.3%. With such a small amount of THC, there’s virtually no psychoactive effects, but you are still getting the benefits of the entourage effects. \n\nRyanG","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11895-markdown","title":"What is the difference between CBD from Hemp and other types of CBD?

A pre-clinical study showed that both THC and CBD prevent glumamate-induced-retinal cell death.

However, I recommend that you use cannabis derived CBD. \n\nHemp typically contains far less CBD than high CBD cannabis strains, so a much higher amount of hemp is required to obtain similar amounts of CBD, which increases the chances of a contaminated end-product.\n\nFurthermore, hemp derived CBD products are devoid of many of the terpenes and secondary cannabinoids contained in cannabis derived CBD products, and therefore would not provide the same enterouge effect as CBD end products which were derived from cannabis.  \nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56d0f3acbbf86b000b0000ae/what-is-the-entourage-effect\n\ndrkim","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11774-markdown","title":"Started taking hemp derived CBD oil and experienced sedation and impairment like a subtle high","slug":"started-taking-hemp-derived-cbd-oil-and-experienced-sedation-and-impairment-like-a-subtle-high","content":"\"I’m taking the CBD oil to help with depression and while I’m weening off Zoloft. Wondering why I experienced a high and sedation when CBD supposedly doesnt impair you in any way like THC?I felt a slight impairment of my vision and a foggy feeling in my head and felt less alert and reactive while driving from the CBD. I’ve only been taking it for a few days and have lessened the dose to like 12.5 ml twice a day and notice less impairment. Wondering if it’s my brain getting used to the CBD and if the Sedation and impairment of senses will subside so I can go up to a more therapeutic dose as I decrease my Zoloft dose slowly.  \"\n_____________________\nHello,\nFirst and foremost, please discontinue taking the hemp derived CBD and consult with your primary care physician immediately. Also, if not already doing so, you should taper off of the Zoloft under the supervision of your prescribing physician -- not doing so may result in withdrawal symptoms, including: anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, depression, mood swings, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, flu-like symptoms, headache and sweating; your symptoms may be due to improper tapering.\n\nI also recommend that you dispose of that bottle of CBD oil. Although unlikely, that oil may have not been processed correctlly, which possibly may lead to higher levels of THC than allowed. \nAdditionally, because CBD, THC and Zoloft are all metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, I recommend that you discontinue cannabis products altogether until you've completed the tapering down of Zoloft.\n\n\ndrkim\n_____________________\nHello Tcylinder,\nI do not doubt anything you're telling me. I also do not doubt the people relaying their supporting anecdotal accounts. However, the science, thus far at least, behind CBD's non-psychoactivity is clear; the reason is the CB1 receptor. THC binds the CB1 receptors in the brain with high affinity, which then leads to many of the effects of cannabis, including sedation and becoming \"high.\" However, CBD binds the CB1 receptor very weakly (low affinity). Furthermore, CBD is actually a weak inhibitor of the CB1 receptor. Therefore, I am somewhat skeptical that it's the CBD causing the mild high and sedative effects.\n\nHowever, the science behind cannabis' effects, benefits and detriments is still in its infancy -- especially so when it comes to CBD -- so it is possible that CBD is what's causing your symptoms. I still recommend that you consult your prescribing physician and that you discontinue the CBD until advised otherwise by your doctor.\nRegards,\nDr. Kim \n\ndrkim\n_____________________\n I'm curious about whether you've discussed any of this with your physician who is prescribing the Zoloft? As Dr. Kim noted, CBD may compete with Zoloft for metabolism, potentially affecting the level of both substances in your system and making assumptions about dose vs effect less reliable.  There is also considerable individual variation in this area of human biochemistry.  And, while CBD does not bind to CB1 receptors in the nervous system the way THC does, it does modulate the interaction of THC with those receptors, which is a basis for exploring the differences in effects of various CBD:THC ratios.  I do want to mention that while some apparent medical effects have been noted at various doses of CBD there is little, if any, science demonstrating target or optimum doses associated with those effects.  In other words, this is still 'folk-medicine.'  So is the idea that some people may experience a 'subtle high' with CBD alone.  I'm fond of saying there is wisdom in folk-medicine, it's just hard to find out which wisdom is real.  Finally, I'd like to add that many patients previously on SSRIs have found cannabis useful enough for moderating mood that they are able to discontinue the SSRI entirely  For those whose work situation requires avoiding any overt pschoactivity, preparations such as 20:1 CBD:THC during that part of the day may be helpful.  I hope you find a regimen that suits you. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9214-markdown","title":"What are the effects of combining hemp CBD oil and Effexor?
