ABOUT HEMP SEED OIL
Hemp Seed Oil is the primary oil extracted from hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa L.). In recent years, there is increasing interest in the nutritional potential of Hemp Seed Oil, which causes no psychotropic effects, is not psychoactive (cannot get you “high”), and even in high doses does not cause relevant side-effects.
Hemp Seed Oil or hemp seed oil is the main active compound in hemp seeds, and unlike THC, it is not psychoactive, so it doesn’t make you high. As you may know, inside the human body there’s the endocannabinoid system, with receptors spread throughout the brain and body. THC activates the CB1 and CB2 receptors, while Hemp Seed Oil does not directly stimulate these receptors.
Cannabinoid receptors are involved in a series of processes inside the human body, including the regulation of mood, pain sensation, appetite, and memory. These receptors activate by endocannabinoids (produced by the human body) as well as by plant cannabinoids (like those in hemp or cannabis), and they’re grouped into two main categories: CB1 and CB2.
CB1 receptors are mostly in the central nervous system and in smaller numbers in the liver, kidneys, and lungs, while CB2 receptors are part of the immune system and in the hematopoietic blood cells as well. CB1 play a role in the production and release of neurotransmitters, cannabis products that exert psychoactive effects stimulating these receptors. At the same time, CB1 receptors involve in the lipogenesis process that takes place inside the liver and seem to play a role in the maintenance of homeostasis (body’s internal equilibrium).
Various studies suggest that CB1 also influences pleasure, concentration, and appetite, memory, and pain tolerance. CB2 receptors, on the other hand, affect the immune system, being involved in a variety of functions like immune suppression or apoptosis (programmed cell death). Studies suggest that CB2 modulate the pain sensation and could play a role in various diseases, from liver and kidney problems to neurodegenerative diseases.
Hemp Seed Oil does not stimulate these two receptors; instead, it activates other receptors, like the vanilloid, adenosine, and serotonin receptors. By activating the TRPV-1 receptor, for example, Hemp Seed Oil plays a role in the mediation of body temperature and other functions. Then, Hemp Seed Oil inhibits the FAAH enzyme, a compound that activates the CB1 receptor. By doing so, Hemp Seed Oil minimizes the activation of CB1 by THC, reducing its psychoactive effects.
Adenosine receptors are also involved in the release of dopamine and glutamate, two neurotransmitters that play major roles inside the body. Dopamine is involved in cognition, motor control, motivation, and reward mechanisms, while glutamate is one of the major mediators of excitatory signals, being involved in memory, learning, and cognition.
Hemp Seed Oil blocks the psychoactive action of THC; this being one of the reasons it’s generally considered advantageous to combine Hemp Seed Oil and THC for treatment purposes. However, be aware that the positive effects of Hemp Seed Oil are not dependent on the presence of THC, so you can still take advantage of the health benefits of Hemp Seed Oil by purchasing full-spectrum oil with only traces of THC.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is psychoactive, while Hemp Seed Oil (Hemp Seed Oil) is not. The common effects of THC are euphoria, anxiety, and short-term memory impairment. Hemp Seed Oil decreases all the negative effects THC can cause. Another real distinction between THC and Hemp Seed Oil is that cannabis with elevated amounts of THC is normally utilized for its rest-inciting impacts, while Hemp Seed Oil seems to advance attentiveness.
The cannabinoid THC is responsible for the intoxicating effect of the hemp plant. A THC level of less than 1% and any dose of Hemp Seed Oil considers non-psychoactive and thus have no intoxicating effect. As our products

CO2 extraction is an extraction process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) to extract phytochemicals (such as CBD, CBG, or terpenes, flavonoids, etc.) from a plant. CO2 at certain temperatures and pressures acts like a solvent, without the dangers of actually being one. It is the most expensive extraction method and is widely considered the most effective and safest plant extraction method.

Yes, all our CBD oil products have a THC content of less than 0.2%, which is well within the legal limit in the UK and the Netherlands. The age limit for legal acquisition is 18 years. Check your local country legislation, before you decide to import our products. Any import to countries outside the UK and the Netherlands are at your own risk and responsibility.
The THC concentrations in hemp oil are nowhere near enough to have any effect on you: industrial hemp plants (Cannabis sativa L.) generally contain only a trace amounts of the THC that marijuana plants contain. THC is the cannabinoid that is targeted in drug tests. These tests look for the metabolic products of THC and begin with a simple urine test sample. The test uses antibodies to detect THC and the metabolite it produces, known by the rather complicated name of ‘11-nor-delta9-caboxy-THC (THC-COOH)’. If initial tests find that you have more than 50 Nanograms (ng) of these substances in your urine, a Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) test is carried out to confirm the result. This test targets the 11-nor-THCCOOH metabolite and is not sensitive to other cannabinoids including CBD.

No, you won’t get high on CBD as it doesn’t contain high levels of THC. Our CBD products contain less than 0,2% THC and it’s exactly THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) that is psychoactive. CBD is unable to get you high and is completely non psychoactive. Many customers do feel relieved and relaxed after taking CBD, but by no means will they feel high or get stoned.
