FAQs

The hemp plant boasts an extensive list of diverse applications that are currently being utilized worldwide: automobiles, bioplastics, construction materials, biofuels, paper, nutritional products, body care products, fiber, insulation, animal food and bedding, etc.

Hemp, as defined in the 2014 Federal Farm Bill, is “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” This low level of THC ensures the hemp plant remains psychoactive.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of 100+ cannabinoids, or chemical compounds, found in cannabis. The hemp plants we cultivate, for the Nectar CBD product line, are CBD-rich, meaning they are highly genetically expressive in that one cannabinoid.

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis.  There are 100+ cannabinoids in cannabis plants.  The most common cannabinoids include CBD, THC, CBN, CBG, etc.  Studies on each cannabinoid, individually, are ongoing, with THC and CBD being the most commonly studied.
