Cannabidiol Definitions
Cannabis
A type of flowering plant that includes three distinct variations: Cannabis ruderalis, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis sativa. Cannabis has a wide range of industrial and medical applications. It has been used since antiquity for its sturdy fiber, for oils, and for medicinal purposes. However, it has also been used as a recreational drug, a fact that renders the cultivation of cannabis strictly regulated because of some variations including high concentrations of THC.
Hemp
Hemp refers to the high-growing varieties of cannabis that are grown to be specifically bred THC under .3%.
Cannabinoids
A very diverse chemical family that includes natural as well as artificially created substances. Different cannabinoids have widely varied effects, with some cannabinoids proven to have medically beneficial effects and others classified as illegal drugs.
CBD
A naturally occurring cannabinoid, and the second most abundant constituent of the Cannabis plant. CBD is legal and safe to consume.
THC
The most abundant constituent of the cannabis marijuana plant and a strong psychoactive cannabinoid, THC is responsible for getting “high”, as a result, its production and usage are strictly regulated.
Psychoactive
Any chemical substance that can enter the brain from the bloodstream and directly affect the central nervous system is considered psychoactive. Many psychoactive substances have medical applications (such as anesthetics, psychiatric drugs, etc.), but some of these substances are used solely for recreation, causing dangerous side effects and addiction.
Intoxicating
Any substance that can cause you to lose control of your faculties and alter your behavior is considered intoxicating. Almost all illegal drugs have intoxicating properties, although worldwide most intoxication cases are attributed to alcohol. Intoxication can be caused by substances that directly affect the brain (i.e., psychoactive) or by indirectly causing damage to your organism (i.e., through toxicity, hence the term).
Let's Talk About...
What is Cannabis?
Cannabis is a genus of flowering plants in the Cannabaceae family. It includes three primary species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. The plants produce compounds called cannabinoids, the most well-known being tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Cannabis has been used for spiritual, medicinal, and recreational purposes for centuries and is known for its psychoactive and medicinal properties.

The Power of Enhanced Full Spectrum
THC + Full Spectrum
When comparing THC Wellness products, Full Spectrum THC:CBD contains only THC and CBD, while Enhanced Full Spectrum (THC, CBD, CBC, CBN, CBG) includes additional cannabinoids such as CBC, CBN, and CBG. The enhanced formula offers a broader range of potential therapeutic effects due to the entourage effect, where the cannabinoids work together to maximize their overall impact on the body.
Our THC Wellness plant genetics are naturally rich in tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), and also contains Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabichromene (CBC), as well as terpenes, flavonoids, and essential amino acids. All combined together creates the Enhanced Full Spectrum formula.
Our proprietary technology allows us to use the entirety of the plant without disturbing the other naturally synergistic compounds. From this enhanced full spectrum THC rich oil, we manufacture an array of medical marijuana products (Tinctures, Sprays, Topicals, Capsules) for Arizona state license dispensaries.
Enhanced Full Spectrum:
THC
THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants. It is the primary psychoactive component responsible for the "high" that is experienced when consuming cannabis. THC has various potential effects on the body and mind, including relaxation, euphoria, and altered perception.
CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol, is another naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it does not produce a "high" sensation. CBD has gained popularity for its potential therapeutic benefits and is often used for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. It is available in various forms, including oils, edibles, topicals, and capsules, and is commonly used for purposes such as pain management, anxiety relief, and improving overall wellness.
CBG
CBG, or cannabigerol, is a cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. It is considered a minor cannabinoid because it is generally present in smaller quantities compared to THC and CBD. CBG is often referred to as the "mother cannabinoid" because other cannabinoids are derived from it. It has potential therapeutic properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective effects. CBG is gaining attention for its potential role in treating various conditions, including glaucoma, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. However, more research is needed to fully understand its benefits and mechanisms of action.
CBN
CBN, or cannabinol, is another cannabinoid that is produced when THC oxidizes over time. It is typically found in older cannabis plants and harvested cannabis that has been exposed to air or light. CBN is known for its mild psychoactive effects, although it is generally considered less potent than THC. It is often associated with sedative and sleep-inducing properties, making it popular for people seeking relaxation and relief from insomnia. Additionally, CBN is believed to have potential benefits for pain relief, appetite stimulation, and anti-inflammatory effects. Further research is still needed to fully understand and explore the therapeutic potential of CBN.
CBC
CBC, or cannabichromene, is a cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. It is a non-intoxicating compound and does not produce the typical euphoric effects associated with THC. CBC is thought to have potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antidepressant effects. It may also interact with other cannabinoids to enhance their overall effects. Research suggests that CBC could have potential benefits for various conditions, such as pain, inflammation, acne, and neurodegenerative diseases. However, further studies are needed to fully understand its mechanisms and unlock its therapeutic potential.
