CBD
What is CBD?
- CBD (cannabidiol) – is a naturally occurring cannabinoid constituent found in the Cannabis (marijuana) plant and the hemp plant. Discovered in 1940.
What is our source?
Hemp oil CBD is from the hemp plant, not cannabis. There could be 0.3% THC, which is legally allowed in all 50 states. This trace amount will not get you high. (Kannaway pure has 0% THC.)
How does CBD work?
Endocannabinoid System (ECS) – which exists in Humans and Pets. This system has been recently (1991) recognized as an important modulatory system in the function of brain, endocrine, and immune tissues. It appears to play a very important regulatory role in the secretion of hormones related to reproductive functions and response to stress. We have receptors called CB1 & CB2, which are the key players in the ECS. They are located on the surface of many types of cells in your body.
What are the Benefits of CBD?
Relief of pain & inflammation, antipsychotic effects, reduces anxiety, helps to fight cancer, relieves nausea, may treat seizures and other neurological disorders, lowers incidence of diabetes, and promotes cardiovascular health.

- We would encourage you to do your own research on the internet. A general rule to is to use a low dose when first taking CBD to stimulate your receptors.
