Cannabidiol also known as the cannabinoid CBD which is a naturally-occurring compound of the cannabis sativa plant. Both industrial hemp and marijuana plants are from the same genus = cannabis and species = sativa. CBD is the most abundant non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plants. Many people get CBD confused with a cannabinoid called THC, which is the cannabinoid found in cannabis plants that gives users a “high” effect. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and does not cause a high and it serves no purpose as a recreational drug. CBD is used strictly for its health benefits and its ability to work within the endocannabinoid system which is the master regulator system in your body.

Our bodies have something called an Endocannabinoid System, which consists of receptors located on cells all throughout the body. Cannabinoids like CBD interact with these receptors for potential anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, anti-nausea, pain relief and many other effects still being studied. Because cannabinoids like CBD works within a system in the body it can help with a large assortment of conditions and not just one specific function. The US National Library of Medicine is a great place to learn more: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed

It is a neuromodulatory feedback system designed to maintain homeostasis or balance within the body. It is located throughout the entire body.

There are two ways that Hemp can be legally sold in the US. The first is to legally import European Hemp extract from seeds and stalks. Hemp has been grown in Europe for many many years and they do not allow many of the pesticides used in the United States. The second way – domestically grown Hemp – is becoming much more prevalent as more and more farmers are planting it. Domestically grown Hemp extract is legal under the 2014 US Farm Bill as one of a number of nutritional and agricultural products.

Diol uses whole plant Hemp extracts using Co2 extraction to create products that are rich in a full spectrum of cannabinoids such CBC, CBG, CBDA CBN as well as terpenes and other beneficial oils. We try to keep as much of the original and natural plant intact because all the compounds work together to create what's known as an “entourage effect”. The only thing we remove is any THC that puts the limit over 0.3%. Diol never uses any synthetic materials. Diol does create hemp-based CBD isolates that are used in blend formulations which are whole plant extracts stacked with a CBD isolate to create a high potency product.
