Most CBD oils are extracted directly from the hemp plant. Hemp is a plant that has been cultivated for over 10,000 years and used for a variety of purposes including food, clothing, and shelter. Nowadays, the hemp plant gifts us with the CBD we know and love.
The Hemp Plant
Hemp has a long and rich history. It was one of the very first agricultural crops to be farmed by humans. The first North American hemp plant was grown in 1606, and the plant would go on to become a crucial crop in the American colonies. In fact, hemp was so important and used for so many purposes that several early American colonies actually passed laws requiring its growth. Abraham Lincoln was even believed to use hemp seed oil to fuel his household lamps.
Nowadays, hemp is still used for a variety of industrial purposes, but its also used for producing CBD oils and other CBD-based products. All hemp plants belong to the same plant species (Cannabis Sativa), however, not all hemp plants are grown equally. Environmental factors can easily make one hemp plant superior to another when it comes to purity and cleanliness.
Hemp As A Bioaccumulator
The hemp plant has an extraordinary ability to absorb whatever it finds in the soil. While this may include nutrients and other beneficial compounds, it can also include toxins, heavy metals, and other pollutants. Moreover, even if the soil is acceptable, pesticides and other chemicals can still seep into the plant, and into the final product.
Growing hemp properly in high-quality soil is crucial to producing pure, clean CBD oil that is free from toxins and safe to consume. But how can you know that the hemp your CBD came from was grown safely and properly?
