LIFE ENHANCED BY NATURE

The Cannabis family has several different breeds, yet it is most famously known for marijuana (“weed”), hence the confusion between hemp and marijuana. Hemp and marijuana are two varieties of the cannabis plant.

Marijuana has been cultivated to contain high levels of the intoxicating, Tetrahydrocannabidinol (THC) compound that some people inhale or ingest for its trademark ‘high.’

Hemp on the other hand, is prized for the high levels of Cannabidiol (CBD) and other non-intoxicating compounds that people take to help lift their mood, calm their mind, reduce inflammation and relieve chronic pain. Beyond this, hemp is known to have over 25,000 different applications!

Humans have grown hemp for food, fabric and medicine since 8000 BC. A resilient, low impact crop, Hemp is the from the family ‘Cannabis Sativa; which means ‘cultivated (Sativa) Hemp (Cannabis).’

Hemp is best known as a source of fibre for making rope or twine but its flowers and seeds contain nutritious plant proteins and a broad spectrum of compounds that are beneficial to our health and wellbeing.

Defined a weed, it takes up relatively little space and grows prolifically with little water. Its dense canopy of leaves eradicates the need for pesticides and herbicides thereby reducing soil toxicity. It thrives in adverse soil conditions and its roots prevent soil erosion. Furthermore, industrial hemp readily absorbs more CO2 than any other commercial crop or commercial forestry.

Everyone is built differently and this means that no one size fits all when it comes to CBD dosing. At Grass & Co. our mantra is ‘start low and go slow.’ Starting with a lower dose and listening to your body allows you to assess how the CBD is affecting you. We recommend taking CBD up to three times per day as needed.

Tinctures (also known as sublinguals) are direct and fast-acting. The CBD Oils are our best-selling format as they’re our most effective product and taste great. Sublinguals enter through glands under the tongue and get to work quickly.

Our CBD oil comes in different strengths – our standard strength has 500mg of CBD per 10ml bottle and our higher strength has 1,000mg of CBD per 10ml bottle.

Shake well before use, then place the required number of drops of CBD oil under your tongue and hold them there for up to 90 seconds for maximum absorption and a longer lasting effect.

Once 90 seconds has passed, swallow the CBD oil. For 500mg strength oils, we do not recommend you exceed 30 drops per day. For the 1000mg strength oils we do not recommend more than 20 drops per day.

CBD Topicals are great for soothing and relieving localised areas. Our Muscle Balms and Body Oils are perfect for massaging into aching joints and sore muscles. Topical CBD products are absorbed through the skin into your system (transdermally), but do not enter the bloodstream. This is why topicals are a great option for CBD beginners.

Made with all-natural ingredients, our pure topical oils and balms won’t irritate sensitive skin, but will target specific areas in need.

DIRECT APPLICATION

We want you to get the best benefits from the CBD in our products. We use CBD in consumable oils where it can be absorbed by your body, and topical applications, where it can interact with CBD receptors in your skin. We will not add CBD to bath salts, where it will eventually go down the plug hole, or pillow sprays, where it will mostly soak into the fabric of your pillow.

PERSONAL CHOICE

We think that CBD should be a personal choice. Therefore we won’t add CBD to our scented candles and room sprays, as this takes away the personal choice from others sharing your space.

We have including products like bath salts, pillow sprays and scented candles in our product range because we know that the same people that love our CBD products also love how these other products can help balance their lives to enjoy a life enhanced by nature.

Grass & Co. premium CBD Oil is derived from industrial hemp grown in the EU. Hemp is an extremely versatile and robust plant with extremely low environmental impact.

It has been grown as a food crop for thousands of years and virtually every part of the plant can be utilised to make paper, rope, cloth, plastics and fuel. Defined a weed, it takes up relatively little space and grows prolifically with little water. Its dense canopy of leaves eradicates the need for pesticides and herbicides thereby reducing soil toxicity. It thrives in adverse soil conditions and its roots prevent soil erosion. Furthermore, industrial hemp readily absorbs more CO2 than any other commercial crop or commercial forestry.

Yes! CBD oil extracted from hemp is absolutely legal in the EU. While almost all cannabinoids are controlled substances under the Misuse of Drugs Act, CBD is not. Industrial hemp may be grown under licence. Hemp based products are legal in the EU as long as long as they do not contain more than trace elements of THC, which is a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.

CBD Oil is entirely safe to use. If this is your first time using CBD, our mantra is to ‘start low and go slow.’ Starting with a lower dose and listening to your body allows you to assess how the CBD is affecting you and changing your dosage according to how you feel. We recommend starting with a 500mg CBD Oil and taking up to three times per day as needed, but no more than 30 drops per day.

While CBD is legal throughout the E.U. we do advise against travelling with it in case airport staff confuse it for an illegal cannabis product. We strongly advise against travelling outside of Europe with any CBD product.

Everyone is different. The right dosage really varies from person to person, so we’d recommend to ‘start low and go slow’. See how you feel, and adapt how much you’re taking accordingly. The FSA advises that maximum daily dosage for a healthy adult should not exceed 70mg – that’s about 28-30 droplets of our 500mg CBD Oil.

No. CBD is not illegal and is not something that drug tests scan for. Professional athletes take note; WADA (the World Anti-Doping Agency) have specifically exempted CBD from the list of prohibited drugs, though THC remains prohibited.

While the law allows CBD products to contain trace elements of THC, Grass & Co. CBD Oils contain a pure filtered form of CBD that is THC-free.

If you are taking strong medications we recommend you talk to your doctor or healthcare professional before beginning using CBD.

Grass & Co. adhere closely to the UK regulations applied to the CBD industry. As a result, we never make unsupported health claims relating to CBD oil. But, we would recommend you try this legal and non-intoxicating product for yourself and to research online the wide-ranging benefits experienced by large numbers of regular users.

Hemp oil and CBD come from different parts of the hemp plant. Hemp oil is extracted from the seeds, whilst CBD is taken from the leaves and stem. The other difference is how they’re processed; hemp oil is generally unrefined, whereas CBD goes through a more rigorous process in order to isolate the most beneficial compounds and remove THC.

Of course. CBD is widely available on the high street and online. It’s rapidly becoming very popular in the UK as more people are learning about its calming, restorative properties. We recommend that you fully research where you buy your CBD to ensure that the retailer is reliable and can be trusted to source the highest quality CBD brands, especially if you’re a first-time buyer.

Grass & Co. CBD oils contain no trace of THC. The hemp we source has very low levels of THC and this is subsequently removed during our extraction process.

Yes, CBD Oil is considered halal. This is because it contains only trace elements of THC, which is otherwise deemed haram.

Whilst it’s possible to put CBD in a diffuser, we wouldn’t recommend it for two reasons. Firstly, CBD oil is best used when it’s directly absorbed by the body either under the tongue or on the skin; secondly, it’s a question of choice – we believe that CBD is a personal choice, and by diffusing it into the air, you’re taking away that of whoever is sharing the space.

No, CBD Oil can’t be used in a vape because it’s too viscous to be burned in a vape pen. If you would like to try CBD via this method, ‘CBD juice’ or ‘CBD vape liquids are much more suitable, as they contain thinning agents.

We wouldn’t recommend putting CBD oil in tea as it’s not water-soluble, meaning that your body is unlikely to absorb it effectively if consuming it in this way. The most effective method of ingestion is simply to apply it sublingually (underneath your tongue).

Although rare, as with any essential oil, it’s possible to get an allergic reaction to CBD oil. If you believe you may be susceptible to an allergic reaction, we’d always recommend consulting a medical or healthcare professional before using.

Yes – CBD Muscle Balms and Body Oils are designed to be massaged into the skin, providing relief to aching joints and sore muscles. Made entirely from natural products our products are suitable for sensitive skin.

We’d recommend not mixing CBD Oil with alcohol. By keeping them separate, you can isolate and track the positive effects of the CBD Oil and amend your dosage accordingly.
