cannabinoids_1

Cannabinoids are the primary chemical compounds produced by the cannabis plant and there are more than 85 identified cannabinoids.

What is hemp seed oil?

Hempseed oil is taken solely from the seeds from tall growing varieties of cannabis. However, hemp oil does not contain THC, the chief psychoactive compound in Cannabis.

What is Charlotte’s Web™ Hemp Oil?

Charlotte’s Web™ (CW) is a whole plant hemp extract containing the entire range of U.S. Government patented cannabinoids.  Charlotte’s Web™ was created using proprietary genetics developed by Colorado’s Stanley brothers.  Classified as hemp and thus legal to ship to all 50 states, Charlotte’s Web™ contains THC levels of 0.3% or less.  The United States Farm Bill of 2014 classified industrial hemp as containing less than 0.3% THC on a dry-weight basis. Because Charlotte’s Web™ products contain less than 0.3% THC, we are allowed by U.S. Federal law to conveniently ship to your doorstep. Charlotte’s Web Hemp™ products are classified as hemp and are thus legally available to anyone who wishes to purchase them.

Hemp Oil Benefits:

  • Antibacterial
  • Antiviral
  • Antifungal
  • Antioxidant
  • Anti – inflammatory
  • Skin regenerative
  • Cardio-protective

The hemp oil has a number of health benefits and its products as well as its raw forms are used to provide many essential amino acids to the body. If the body is deprived of any of these amino acids there are serious problems like genetic mutations and cancer. Hemp oil cures cancer as the essential and non-essential amino acids are present in abundance in the oil and thus when hemp oil is regularly used by cancer patients, there are chances of cure. Thus using hemp seed oil is very useful for many reasons.

Hemp Oil Nutrition:

The oil contained in the hemp seed is 75-80% polyunsaturated fatty acids (the good fats) and only 9-11% of the less desired saturated fatty acids. Hemp seed oil is reputed to be the most unsaturated oil derived from the plant kingdom. The essential fatty acids contained in hemp seed oil are required in our diet more than any other vitamin, yet our bodies do not naturally produce them. They must be obtained from external sources in the food we eat. Essential fatty acids are involved with producing life’s energy throughout the human body and without them, life is not possible. In general, North Americans have a high dietary deficiency in essential fatty acids due to our high intake of animal fats versus plant fats, caused by our high consumption of processed foods and meats versus natural organic foods.

Hemp seed oil has been dubbed “Nature’s most perfectly balanced oil”, due to the fact that it contains the perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 (linolei/LA) to Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic/LNA) essential fatty acids, determined to be the optimum requirement for long-term healthy human nutrition. In addition, it also contains smaller amounts of 3 other polyunsaturated fatty acids in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), oleic acid and stearidonic acid. The EFA combination is unique among edible oil seeds.

The story behind CW Hemp Products:

Charlotte Figi before and after using CW Hemp

Since the incredibly young age of three months old, Charlotte Figi suffered from Dravet syndrome. At around the age of two, she started disconnecting cognitively and experienced autism-like behaviors like self-injury, violence and reluctance to make eye contact. By the time she was five, she was experiencing up to 300 seizures a week, some lasting hours at a time. Her condition was so severe that, at one point, her parents, Matt and Paige Figi, had signed a do-not-resuscitate order. Charlotte had no quality of life. She was wheelchair-bound and unable to talk or even swallow. Matt and Paige had exhausted every option and were told that nothing more could be done for their daughter.

After researching medical marijuana and finding astounding testimonials, the Figis went about the extensive process of obtaining it for Charlotte. Her results were immediate. Going from 300 seizures a week to not having a single one in the first seven days of treatment was a clear sign that the Figis had stumbled onto something extraordinary.

Soon after their supply began running out, the Figis discovered the Stanley brothers, marijuana growers and founding members of the Realm of Caring Foundation. Paige contacted the Stanley brothers, one of the Colorado’s largest breeders of medical marijuana. At the time, it so happened that the brothers had created a strain with a high CBD content and low THC content, but were struggling to find a use for it.

Much like the doctors, the brothers were very hesitant at first with medicating a child; but after meeting Charlotte, they jumped on board.

The brothers agreed to supply Paige and Matt with the strain, now aptly named Charlotte’s Web. They have also set up a charitable foundation that supplies those suffering from serious ailments such as cancer, epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. They make sure to supply the medical cannabis for very low prices, so it remains affordable for all in need. All they ask is that patients make whatever donation they can realistically afford. The charity also receives large donations to help the brothers keep supplying cannabis at a low cost from large sponsors who believe in their work. As a result, because of their efforts to help anyone who needs it, no matter if they can afford it or not, the Stanley brothers are known as the Robin Hoods of marijuana.
