This page answers most of the questions you have about CBD, the acronym for Cannabidiol, a cannabis molecule from the plant also called Hemp cultivated for its multiple properties from textiles to food to insulation, today. oday used in therapeutic use, this astonishing plant has not ceased to surprise us.
CBD can be derived from hemp and marijuana. All of our CBD products are natural, made from "industrial" sativa hemp plants, legal under current legislation. Hemp-derived CBD is rich in medicinal and therapeutic virtues, and naturally very low in THC of 0.2% in the plant and 0% in the finished product.
Sophisticated plant extraction is crucial to obtain the highest quality oil, free from solvent residues and pesticides. We trust the supercritical CO2 method to extract all cannabinoids such as CBD, CBN, CBG, without THC and many others (there are more than 100 active molecules present in hemp).
The difference between hemp oil and CBD oil comes from the fact that hemp oil does not contain CBD, it is a vegetable oil that is mainly used in cooking in the same way as oil olive oil, CBD oil contains a percentage of 5%, 10%... cannabidiol "CBD" added to a 'carrier' oil such as coconut oil , CBD oil may contain other cannabinoids, flavinoids, terpenes which are called full spectrum oil or full spectrum in English
CBD (cannabidiol) also called Therapeutic Cannabis would act on our body to provide many health benefits, but without the side effects of THC. here is a non-exhaustive list on the therapeutic potential of this molecule:
- CBD has antiemetic virtues
- Relieve inflammation, anxiety, nausea, stress, helps regulate blood pressure,
- antioxidant
- CBD may have some efficacy on neuronal protection
- Can in some cases replace Opioids,
- May relieve headaches
also in other pathologies. Many ongoing laboratory studies will uncover other benefits.
Here is a video on how CBD works on our endocannabinoid system:
No. Our hemp extract products are all made from industrial hemp, which only have traces of 0.2% THC, so there is no psychoactive effect in our products.
What the law says ?
French regulations provide that all operations concerning cannabis are prohibited, in particular its production, possession and use. Therefore, any product containing the extract of the cannabis plant is prohibited unless it falls within the scope of the derogation mentioned below .
Thus, certain varieties of cannabis or hemp, devoid of narcotic properties, can be used for industrial and commercial purposes under three cumulative conditions:
- Hemp varieties authorized for industrial and commercial purposes are regulated and listed in the Public Health Code
- only seeds and fibers can be used. The use of flowers is prohibited (in France) Europe authorizes the use of flowers
- the plant must have a THC content of less than 0.2%.
- The presence of THC in the finished products, whatever its rate, is prohibited.
- No therapeutic virtue can be claimed, in particular by manufacturers or sellers of products containing CBD.
- All advertisements bearing claims of therapeutic virtues are prohibited (with the exception of medicinal products benefiting from an MA).
Press release published on 19/11/20: Conviction of the French state by the European court "A Member State cannot prohibit the marketing of cannabidiol (CBD) legally produced in another Member State when it is extracted from the cannabis plant sativa in its entirety and not only its fibers and seeds”, mentions the CJEU.

What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?
marijuana, hemp or cannabis, mean the same thing, the difference lies in the variety of the plant of which two types of cannabinoids are distinguished: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD)
"Sativa" hemp for example has almost no THC, with an average content of 0.2%, has a high CBD content and a low THC content,
The flowers of the "Indica" hemp plant contain higher levels of THC, the variety, with high THC content and low CBD content, generally used for its recreational side as the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) gives a high.
Hemp contains excellent nutritional values, providing essential nutritional components called essential fatty acids that the human body does not produce naturally, and must be consumed through food. In addition, emerging scientific research supports the consumption from hemp oil for general well-being and to keep you healthy, but without getting the “high” effect. Not only is hemp renewable and fast-growing, almost every part of the plant is usable - for food, fiber, building materials and fuel, with around 25,000 uses . Hemp produces CO2 and does not need herbicides to grow. It also leaves the soil in better condition than before it was planted.
The answer to this question lies in the fact that there are many steps and a lot of plant material needed to produce the final product.
First, a fairly large amount of hemp must be grown, which takes months, to produce enough seeds and stems to produce a very small amount of hemp extract. Next, the extract must undergo extensive testing to ensure its composition and purity. The extract is then formulated into different product forms, such as CBD oil drops or cream… and then sold to retailers. Each entity along the way must derive a fair benefit for their efforts.

The different ways to use CBD
The explosive growth in the popularity of legal cannabis has led to the development of many products in different forms.
From topical creams to infused beverages, consumers now have a whole range of choice & dosage possibilities.
Here are some of the most common ways to consume CBD
CBD oils are among the most popular products on the market. They are simple to use. Additionally, as they were among the first CBD products to hit the market, they have earned a reputation as the standard way to consume oils. Some oils can be taken
sublingually , while others must be swallowed, usually using a dropper. However, for
those who don't like the
taste , they also come in
different flavors or be
added to
various foods and liquids.
-
Sublingual CBD oil (under the tongue) is particularly interesting for people who need immediate relief, they give fast and effective effects in about 30 minutes. To administer CBD sublingually, simply place a few drops under the tongue and wait approximately 60 seconds before swallowing. Sublingual dosing works by allowing CBD to enter the bloodstream directly through the thin membrane under the tongue, bypassing the longer route that would have to be taken if CBD were to be swallowed immediately through the digestive system.
-
- Edible CBD oil can also be incorporated into edibles. Edibles have grown in popularity as a discreet dosing option. If you have the time and the patience, CBD can even be cooked at home. The main advantage of CBD oil in edible form is the duration of its effects. When swallowed and processed through the stomach, the effects of CBD generally last longer than if administered sublingually. This is partly because it takes longer to process CBD in this way - it is gradually absorbed and processed.
-
- Capsules Capsules are produced by introducing CBD oil into soluble gelatin capsules. The capsules are especially convenient for those who don't like the taste of CBD oil or want to take a dose while travelling. Most capsules are odorless and tasteless, which means they can be consumed discreetly and easily. Many capsules are also designed to disintegrate after leaving the stomach and entering the intestines. This helps maintain a greater concentration of CBD, as potentially less CBD is broken down in the stomach. The best ways to use CBD to suit your lifestyle -
-
- CBD oil with liposomes Liposomes are actually small pockets of fatty tissue that can be mixed with other substances. They have long been used as carriers of nutrients that aid digestion and metabolism. In CBD, the addition of liposomes enhances the release and absorption of cannabidiol by the body. Researchers believe that liposomes may help those who lack the adequate cannabinoid receptors needed for full treatment of CWD. For these people, the effects of CWD will only be partially felt. However, liposomes can help them better absorb CBD so they can experience its full effects. Like some capsules, liposomes protect CBD as it passes through the stomach and even go the extra mile by helping the CBD's target cells absorb it. The result is a faster and stronger experience.
- - CBD with additional vitamins or minerals Some patients may prefer to mix their CBD with other vitamins and minerals for greater effectiveness. In combination with other natural anti-inflammatories such as turmeric and garlic, CBD can be an essential part of a purely natural anti-inflammatory regimen. Also, when mixed with small amounts of essential vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin D, CBD can become an element
