ZBD Technology
The ZBD Bed is made with HEMP-Based CBD and is micro-encapsulated using patented technology. Once the microcapsules are applied to the fabric, the microcapsules burst through friction (such as lying on the bed) and release the Hemp-based CBD throughout the bed. This technology allows the isolate to penetrate through one additional layer of fabric, meaning that you don’t have to forgo sheets to enjoy your CBD-infused mattress. CBD is infused into [...]

How the Compounding of Cannabinoids May Lead to New Pharmaceutical Products
Author: Lindsey Horton Cross-breeding various cannabis strains agriculturally to produce a desired plant is an arduous and lengthy process. There is undoubted beauty in manipulating genetic composition in nature over the course of several generations. However, there also exists the inevitable delay of crucial scientific research around the applications of cannabinoids and viable methods of mass production. Consequently, medical professionals, geneticists, and scientists alike are exploring the possibilities of genetic engineering to produce cannabinoids [...]
Genetic Diversity: A Path to a Sustainable Cannabis Industry
After extensive cross-breeding efforts involving various strains of cannabis, the hemp plant is now popularly associated with a high concentration of CBD. However, CBD is just one of the 113 total cannabinoids that can be found in the cannabis plant, and geneticists are striving to engineer seeds which express all of the different varieties of cannabinoids. Cannabis Breeding and Gene Isolation Each cannabis seed is unique and will express a variety of traits, or [...]
Getting that CBD product to taste just right takes forethought and expertise
Getting flavours right for CBD products requires custom solutions that can compensate for inconsistency in production but the objectives can broadly be placed in one of four categories, according to a flavouring expert. Companies either want a spectrum product that emphasises the inherent “cannabis” taste or masks it. Or they want an isolate product that recreates that taste – or masks it. “What we found is there are two camps,” explained Christina Castlejohn, senior [...]

Shaping the Future of CBD
A Brief History: Hemp in the USDating back to the early 1900s, the hemp plant embarked on its politicized journey within the United States, often times becoming a scapegoat for the effects of its psychoactive cousin, marijuana. This period of cannabis prohibition would continue for the next 100 years of American history. Consequently, many other countries followed suit and outlawed or prevented the production of industrial hemp, which halted any further research on the plant’s [...]
Congress Makes Move to Allow CBD in Food and Beverages
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan group of lawmakers has introduced a bill that would amend the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to include cannabidiol (CBD) in the definition of dietary supplements, which would allow CBD to be marketed in food, beverages and nutritional supplements. The bill, introduced Jan. 13, was filed by Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.), chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, and was co-sponsored by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), James Comer (R-Ky.) and Chellie [...]
