Your first lesson in hemp botany is about the difference between hemp and cannabis. You may not know that hemp and cannabis are mostly considered the same plant. The distinction between the two is entirely a legal definition. Hemp becomes cannabis when it contains more than .3% THC. This chemical composition determines the way the growers cultivate the plant, its legal status, and its use. Both plants belong to the family, Cannabaceae, and genus Cannabis.

Hemp Botany Classifies Both as Cannabaceae

Members of the Cannabaceae family have several well-defined characteristics. Two defining characteristics are their status as both vascular and dioecious plants.

Most plants are vascular, and the few non-vascular plant types, such as bryophytes and some types of algae, are the evolutionary precursors to the vascular plants seen today.

Vascular plants have specialized tissues for moving materials through the plant. The xylem draws water and dissolved nutrients upward. In contrast, the phloem pulls sugars, amino acids, and other photosynthetic products from the leaves in a process called translocation.

Vascular plant classification further divides into how plants fertilize their seeds. If an ovary encloses the seed, then it is an angiosperm. If seeds develop without enclosure, then the plant classifies as a gymnosperm. Hemp, as a flowering plant with enclosed seed development, is an angiosperm.

Hemp Reproduction

Additionally, Dioecious means that the hemp plant develops either male or female sex organs. Female hemp plants are referred to as pistillate because they have pistils, which are female plant organs. On the other hand, male hemp plants are categorized as staminate. The male plant has stamens, the pollen-producing organ of the flower.

If a male plant sheds its pollen, the pollen will fertilize any surrounding pistillate plants, which will then produce seeds. When this fertilization occurs, the female plant will spend all of its energy on producing seeds instead of cannabinoids. Growers can manipulate female plants into flowering longer. Removing male plants from the nearby area helps female plants produce more cannabinoids and trichomes.

What Are Terpenes?

They are aromatic compounds found in many plants. In cannabis plants, they are produced in the trichomes. The trichomes house crucial compounds for hemp, including cannabinoids (such as CBD), flavonoids, and terpenes. Female hemp plants produce glandular trichomes, which are glands that look like small hairs or growths that protrude from the flowers and leaves. Hemp plants have them in spades. 

CBD Terpenes’ Use for Plants

They play many roles in the lives of the plants that create them. Due to their bitter taste and strong odor, they serve as a deterrent against insects and some animals. Also, they help protect plants from strong winds and other environmental dangers such as fungal growth or UV rays. Some of them are even responsible for the pigmentation of flowers and fruit.

CBD Terpenes’ Use for People

Additionally, terpenes have a myriad of uses for humans. If you can tell the difference between a coconut and a raspberry, your senses of smell and taste have detected terpenes. You can sense them in meals, fruits, flowers, and even cleaning products. Because of their distinctive aroma, they can form the base of many essential oils, frequently used in perfumery. Some traditional and naturalistic medicines feature the terpenes found in several plants.

Consider terpenes a connoisseurs’ approach to hemp, in the same way that a wine lover would consider the blackcurrant notes in a Chilean merlot versus the crisp citrus of an unoaked California chardonnay. New research has now shown that they significantly influence the flavor and smell of hemp flowers, but can also amp up, change, or lower the intensity of CBD.

Do you know about Cannabigerol?

There are over 113 cannabinoids in hemp. You can find more than just CBD in our Full Spectrum and Broad Spectrum tinctures. While CBD and THC are the most studied cannabinoids, each one of the rest plays their part in boosting your endocannabinoid system.

First discovered alongside CBD in 1963 by Dr. Raphael Mechoulamin, cannabigerol (CBG) is one of the more unique phytocannabinoids. The small amount of cannabigerol found in hemp rests in the trichome heads with the rest of cannabinoids and terpenes. Because of its light presence in most hemp strains, hemp scholars consider CBG a minor cannabinoid. However, it is sometimes referred to as the Mother Molecule due to certain traits.

This epithet of Mother Molecule comes from the way the developing hemp plant quickly metabolizes cannabigerol acid (CBGA) into other well-known cannabinoids. Specific enzymes in the plant break CBGA down and direct it toward one of the three lines: CBD, CBC, or THC. Using heat or ultraviolet light as a catalyst, CBGA becomes one of the cannabinoids we use a lot. In most strains, CBGA is immediately converted, resulting in a low overall cannabigerol concentration.

Low Cannabigerol Concentration

In the mature hemp plant, cannabigerol makes up around 1% of the total cannabinoids. However, hemp cultivators are experimenting with genetically boosting the concentrations of cannabigerol in the mature plant, as well as taking extracts in younger plants earlier in the flowering cycle. This focus on CBG will hopefully help increase our understanding of cannabinoids and how they can help us.

Today at CBD Plus USA, we’re celebrating a special occasion. With the opening of the Keller, Texas location over the weekend, we now have 100 CBD stores open across the nation.

We have done a great deal of leading in our industry. Because of our start in 2017, we began in the CBD market at one of its lowest stages of notoriety. Since the very first store, we have campaigned to bring awareness of the lifestyle benefits that CBD can bring.

Striving to Live Our Best Lives

Since our genesis in late 2017, CBD Plus USA has had to goal: strive to provide both a “farm-to-table” product and comprehensive cannabinoid education for both employees and customers. With over 50 stores in Oklahoma and now 100 nationwide, CBD Plus USA has set its sights on scalability since day one. The company founder, Ryan Vicedomini, started with the goal of “a better product at a better price.” Executive Vice President Jake Chilcoat signed on early—with Matt Baker joining as president in October 2018—both bringing a wealth of experience that has helped the company expand.

Growing the Community with All of Our Open CBD Stores

Once it became apparent that we were going to keep growing at such a quick pace, we knew that focusing on internal education would effect change at the grassroots level. We now organize a monthly training course for employees and franchise owners. For a full week, we educate them on Product Knowledge, Bioavailability & Dosing, Basic Cannabis Botany, Basic Human Anatomy, the Endocannabinoid System, Leadership, among a litany of other essential classes.

Through extensive internal training, our franchise owners can take that knowledge and use it to help their communities. We believe that we can enhance our communities with our expertise on CBD. Sharing our knowledge will lead others to question the stigma about CBD. Additionally, shedding light on the matter by teaching others how CBD works is how we overcome stigma.

With direct interaction, we have managed to integrate CBD Plus USA with such a wide variety of communities across the country. Our strategies have always centered around identifying what each individual is looking for, then helping them achieve those results.

100 CBD Plus USA stores are now teaching people that self-care can be different.

Locally Owned and Operated

At CBD Plus USA, each one of our unique stores is locally owned and operated. With over 60 independent locations in Oklahoma, we believe that each owner has their strengths to showcase.  

Each of our franchise owners is both a valued part of their communities and the CBD Plus USA family. While you can find our stores easily throughout the metropolitan area, there is no shortage of small-town locations.

CBD Plus USA Ardmore

From time to time, we like to highlight store owners. To properly showcase the hard-work of our franchisees, we interviewed Jamie and Jay Ashley. This team comprised of a wife and husband have operated the day-to-day hustle since the store’s grand opening in May 2018. In this video, they share their collective story of helping the people of Ardmore live their best lives.

If you want to join the CBD Plus USA family with a franchise of your own, you can submit a Franchise Inquiry on this page.

The post Spotlight CBD in Ardmore, Going Above and Beyond appeared first on CBD Plus USA.

Yes, we do have a veterans discount for our CBD products. We will increase the discount to 22% effective as of October 2019. CBD compliments the transition from uniformed service to civilian life well. Which is why veterans have already taken an active interest in CBD. We have decided to offer a permanent 22% discount for veterans at all locations starting in October.

Why is the number 22 important to veterans?

The number 22 holds great significance for veterans and their families. In a 2012 study, the Department of Veterans Affairs found that 22 veterans die by suicide every day. In other words, one veteran dies by suicide every 65 minutes. It is a horrifying number. The trend reflects the lack of support our veterans receive in their transition from active duty to civilian life. To this end, veteran advocates have launched Mission 22. Mission 22 is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness of the rising veteran suicide rate.

In contrast, a portion of the veteran community has rallied against this figure. Rallying around the symbolic number 22 may exacerbate the problem. This minority argues that the original number only focused on older veterans, not veterans deployed within the last two decades. A 2015 study funded by the Army examines a wider range of data. The conclusion of this study reduces the estimated 22 veteran deaths to slightly below one suicide a day. 

In light of this pushback, many advocates want Veteran 22 campaigns to contextualize their sources. Although the mental health of veterans is a serious concern in our society, reinforcing the stereotype of the broken veteran causes more harm than help. By victimizing veterans, we make their transition into civilian life more difficult.

Why use the number 22?

Despite the uncertainty of the actual suicide rate, we employ the 22 campaign as a signal. We want to broadcast to soldiers, both active duty and retired, that we care. The first step in bringing meaningful change is noticing and listening. We use the number 22 because we want to impart that CBD can help with common problems that veterans face. We do not want to reinforce any unproductive ideas that soldiers are broken.

Instead, we want to help our armed forces find the right tools to empower themselves.

How does CBD help veterans?

The CBD industry has already gained strong support from veterans. In veteran communities, seasoned veterans already advocate the lifestyle value of CBD to others having difficulties.

That’s why we stand with Veterans and we want to give the number 22 the value it deserves.
