Part of what makes the hemp plant unique resides in a natural family of compounds produced inside it: cannabinoids. For many consumers, hemp becomes more familiar when it's attached to its most known extract in conversation, CBD. When talking about hemp and cannabis in general, people like to refer to the plant's two most known compounds, CBD and THC.

How cloning cannabis benefits the hemp industry
It may sound futuristic, but cloning cannabis is fairly common in the industry. Through specific techniques, it's possible to replicate the exact genetic material into a new growing plant, thus maintaining the same concentration of cannabidiol, THC, terpenes, and other components, across many cultivars. Companies looking to establish brand quality take advantage of this practice, ensuring a steady and uniform product created from homogeneous crops and extending successful high-quality plants' longevity. Although cloning is [...]
Psilocybin, the ‘magic’ in mushrooms

7 Best Ways to Take CBD
People take CBD oil for a myriad of reasons. Although we know that CBD has some anti-inflammatory and soothing properties and is associated with the medicinal part of marijuana, its effectiveness has only been verified for some epileptic-type attacks.

Colombia’s Challenges in the Global Hemp Game
It is no secret that Colombian society has been quite quite conservative in the past. Indeed, many people there—as with many other countries—have grown up under outdated beliefs, based on antiquated ideas about right and wrong. That's what happened to a commodity that was unfairly judged in the 20th century: hemp. The plant, a non-psychoactive variety of cannabis, was used by most cultures to manufacture paper and textiles for thousands of years. Due to [...]
