Scientifically, industrial hemp and marijuana are the same plant, with a genus and species name of Cannabis sativa. However, they each have a unique genetic profile. Industrial hemp is very fibrous with
long strong stalks and few flowering buds. Historically, hemp has been used to make food products, fiber,
rope, paper, bricks, oil, natural plastic, and so much more. Marijuana plants are typically smaller, bushier,
and full of flowering buds. In the US, marijuana is usually used both recreationally and medicinally.
Newer varieties of hemp are now being bred to have more flowers and higher yields of cannabinoids and
terpenes. Typically, marijuana has a high amount of THC and a very low amount of CBD. Hemp, on the
other hand, naturally has higher amounts of CBD and only trace amounts of THC. The cannabinoid profile
of hemp is ideal for people looking for all the benefits of cannabis without the ‘high’.
No, the CBD present in all strains of hemp is not a psychoactive compound. All of our hemp extract
products are made from hemp with THC levels below 0.3%. HempEssence™ CBD products are sourced
from Wisconsin-grown organic hemp. We proudly offer free shipping and bulk wholesale purchasing
options on all our products.
Full spectrum is often used to convey that the whole plant was used, not just the stalk or stem. Whole
cannabis sativa plant contains 480 beneficial phytochemical compounds including cannabinoids,
terpenes, flavonoids and fatty acids.
In chemistry, to “isolate “means to separate (a substance) into its purest form, free of other compounds. Isolated CBD is pure CBD without the presence of other cannabinoids or terpenes. HempEssence™ CBD is not an isolate and is instead, full spectrum. That provides the added benefits of delivering CBD along with other naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids to produce an entourage effect.
Although we are unable to make health claims, recent studies revealed CBD has been shown to have the
following effects: may act as an anti-inflammatory by reducing chronic pain including arthritis, reduce
anxiety/depression, provide relief from insomnia

Research shows that out of the 44 terpenes found in hemp, the 6 most important are: beta-caryophyllene,
alpha and beta-pinene, beta-myrcene, limonene and alpha-humulene. These 6 major terpenes found in
hemp oil each have strong physiological effects that relate to the well-known clinical applications for CBD.
