Refined hemp seed oil is clear and colorless, with little flavor. It is primarily used in body care products. Industrial hemp seed oil is used in lubricants, paints, inks, fuel, and plastics. Hemp seed oil is used in the production of soaps, shampoos and detergents. The oil has a 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids. [1]
Hemp seeds are notable in providing 64% of the Daily Value (DV) of protein per 100-gram serving. [20] The three main proteins in hemp seeds are edestin (83% of total protein content), albumin (13%) and ß-conglycinin (up to 5%). [25] [23] Hemp seed proteins are highly digestible compared to soy proteins when untreated (unheated).
Because the law limited only Δ 9-THC levels, many other cannabinoids are generally considered legal to sell and are widely available in stores and online, including Δ 8-THC, Δ 10-THC, HHC, and THCP, [68] [69] but have not had the same in-depth research that the Δ 9 isomer has on the human body; carrying potential risks in the short- or long ...
The effectiveness of THC and CBD depends on the method you use to consume them, your body’s make up, and physiological processes. Bioavailability can be influenced by your body’s make up ...
[4] [19] CBD does not have the same psychoactivity as THC, [24] [25] and can modulate the psychoactive effects of THC on the body if both are present. [16] [24] [26] [27] Conversion of CBD to THC can occur when CBD is heated to temperatures between 250–300 °C, potentially leading to its partial transformation into THC. [28]
Research has shown that Humulus lupulus (the plant that makes hops) and Cannabis sativa (also called hemp and marijuana) are closely related, [1] [a] and it may be possible to create novel cultivars of hops that express valuable chemicals similar to commercial hemp. Both hops and cannabis contain terpenes and terpenoids; tetrahydrocannabinol ...
Differences in the chemical composition of Cannabis varieties may produce different effects in humans. Synthetic THC, called dronabinol, does not contain cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), or other cannabinoids, which is one reason why its pharmacological effects may differ significantly from those of natural Cannabis preparations.
However, cannabis does not naturally contain significant amounts of THC. Instead, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is found naturally in raw and live cannabis and is non-intoxicating. Over time, THCA slowly converts to THC through a process of decarboxylation over the course of roughly a year, but can be sped up with exposure to high ...
