FAQs about CBD Extract and Hemp Products - Treadwell Farms

Hemp is a legal definition for Cannabis Sativa L. that has less than .3% THC. It is a versatile and eco-friendly plant that has been used by humans for thousands of years. Hemp is grown for its strong fibers, nutritious seeds, and resinous buds that yield beneficial extracts like CBD. Hemp can be used to make a wide variety of products, from clothing and paper to skincare items and health supplements. It’s also great for the environment, as it grows quickly absorging CO2 and improving soil health.

CBD is a cannabinoid, which is a compound that influences a system within our bodies called the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is responsible for modulating many physiological processes in the human brain and body. There have been over 200 cannabinoids that have been identified so far in the Cannabis plant. Of these plant compounds, THC and CBD have been the most researched. [2] CBD does not directly bind to endocannabinoid receptors in the body like THC does, but exerts its influence via other methods. 

Scientific evidence suggests that CBD is safe even when consumed in large doses. However, it is ideal to begin with a small dose of CBD, especially if someone has little or no experience with using it. CBD has bi-phasic properties, meaning that at low doses and high doses may produce opposite effects. For example, an excessive amount of CBD could be less effective than moderate doses. Use the same product and dose for several days to see how the product affects you. Observe the effects, and adjust if necessary. Learn more by reading the blog: Navigating CBD Dosages: How Much CBD Is Too Much.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a fascinating part of our body that was only discovered in 1992, which might explain why it’s not as well-known.

The ECS is present in both humans and animals and plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health. It has receptors spread throughout the brain, organs, glands, connective tissues, immune cells, and even our skin.

The ECS helps regulate many important functions, including sleep, appetite, relaxation, protection, memory, and keeping our body in balance—what scientists call homeostasis. Think of the ECS as your body’s natural balancer, working behind the scenes to keep you feeling your best.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is a crucial component that influences almost every aspect of how our body works. It is our widest spread receptor system and plays a vital role in alleviating misalignment and treating chronic conditions. The reason many people haven’t heard about the ECS before is because of its relation to cannabis which limits research funding and awareness. Read more: CBD and Your Endocannabinoid System

CBD works best when with the presence of other cannabinoids, flavonoids, and terpenes from the plant. For example, THC and CBD work well in combination with one another, and both amplify one another's healing potential. The therapeutic attributes of the whole plant in combination with one another is known as the “entourage effect”. The sum is greater than its parts!

Full Spectrum CBD refers to a type of extract that contains a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds naturally found in the hemp plant. This means that Full Spectrum products are the closest to the original profile of the plant, offering the complete array of compounds working together in what’s known as the 'entourage effect.'

At Treadwell Farms, we take pride in our Full Spectrum products because we believe in preserving the natural goodness of the plant. Our extracts contain multiple cannabinoids and terpenes, just as they exist in our CBD-rich hemp. While the industry also offers Broad Spectrum (which is further refined and may have fewer compounds) and Isolates (which contain only one compound), we focus on maintaining the plant’s full profile.

We also use the term 'TF Extract' on many of our products to indicate our signature Full Spectrum extract. This extract is derived from cannabinoid-rich buds and undergoes our unique cold ethanol extraction and triple filtration process to retain as many beneficial compounds as possible. Our goal is simple: to grow the best plants and deliver a product that truly captures the essence of hemp.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is generally regarded as safe and is well tolerated. You cannot "overdose" on CBD. If you take more than your optimal dose the likely results are drowsiness or stomach upset. When trying any new CBD product we suggest you "start low and go slow" to find your optimal dose. Start with a low dose, and try that for several days before determining whether you should take more. If you have concerns it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
