What it’s ‘Oil’About by Chris Bond UNDERSTANDING HEMP, CBD, AND CANNABIS OILS With several different oil products coming from cannabis and hemp plants, it can be challenging telling what’s what and the benefits of each oil type. Chris Bond walks us through the various iterations. Oils derived from various parts of the cannabis plant are in high demand. It’s no wonder producers and purveyors are trying to create and sell the newest and best cannabis derivatives and take their share of this lucrative market. With myriad cannabis oils to choose from, it can be quite confusing to know which is best for what purpose and whether it is legal in your state or region. You can find hemp oil, CBD oil, hemp seed oil, and cannabis oil throughout the marketplace. Each differ in either their origin, components, THC levels, CBD levels, legal status, and uses. Once you understand the properties of each, it is easier to make an informed decision about which to select and how to use them. 56 Maximum Yield
