CBD(Cannabidiol) is 1 of over 100 cannabinoids extracted from agricultural hemp. It is becoming more widely used as a natural alternative for pain, anxiety, sleep, depression, nausea, seizures and more.
Moreover, CBD oil can be extracted from the marijuana plant or the hemp plant. When taken from hemp, there is an abundance of CBD and little to no THC.
How Does CBD Relieve Pain, Anxiety etc.?
Believe it or not, your body already makes CBD - in what is called our endocannabinoid system.
Researchers have identified two cannabinoid receptors in the human body, known as the CB1 and CB2 receptors. These are located all throughout our body: in our organs, glands, immune system, but mostly the brain. These receptors are linked to pain, anxiety, sleep, nausea, and depression.
Cannabinoids are like the traveling nurses of the body, aiding the systems that are in need.
Why do I need to take CBD regularly?
Cannabinoids have been found to promote homeostasis. Homeostasis is an organism's ability to regulate/maintain a stable state when put into harsher environments.
Example: The human body will remain at 98.6 degrees when it's 50 degrees outside. This allows for communication and coordination between different receptors and cell types that alter the release of happy chemicals in the brain.
Why do I need to take CBD regularly?
Hemp is the mother plant that makes CBD along with many other cannabinoids. CBD can be extracted from the hemp plant OR the marijuana plant. When it is extracted from the marijuana plant, there is a much higher THC content - this type of CBD is only available in legal dispensaries.
Quartz uses CBD directly extracted from the hemp plant in a Certified Organic Hemp Farm. All of our products are made from the hemp plant and test below the legal limit of 0.3% THC. Our Broad Spectrum and Pure CBD Isolate products, like our CBD gummies for example, are completely THC free.
Does CBD Show Up on Drug Tests? (Probation, Job, Etc.)
No
CBD does not show up on drug tests if you are using a THC-free product. Pure CBD products and Quartz broad spectrum products are THC free; proven by lab tests in each product's photo description.
But
Full Spectrum CBD products from hemp, on the other hand, contain 0.3% THC. This amount of THC is under the legal limit, but in high amounts could cause a failed drug test.

Full Spectrum CBD Oil vs Pure CBD Isolate
Full spectrum refers to the inclusion of all the natural terpenes and multiple cannabinoids. Our full spectrum CBD oil includes CBD-V, CBN, CBD, CBC and less than .3% delta9-THC. The difference between full spectrum CBD and solely CBD oil (made from CBD Isolate) oil is that it is minimally refined leaving the natural terpenes and cannabinoids. CBD isolate is also a powder form instead of oil and is odorless/flavorless.
Research has shown that the naturally occurring compounds create a synergy called the entourage effect which is known to have a wider variety of benefits. CBD has shown to be able to modify the ability of THC and work with it to simulate the psychoactive and enhance the benefits.
Research suggests that full spectrum CBD oil is the preferred as it contains more benefits. It does not have psychoactive effects but should follow the recommended doses. If you are sensitive to THC, full spectrum oil may not be for you. To put it shortly, CBD oil made from CBD isolate is THC free where Full Spectrum CBD oil will have additional cannabinoids that include the slight amount of THC (less than .3%). See the chart to see the benefits and properties of the cannabinoids and terpenes.
CBD isolate and CBD products are not yet FDA approved, however, their research among others is confirming a positive future in CBD oil as a treatment for an abundant range of conditions
