What is Hemp CBD Oil (Cannabidiol) & what are its benefits?

Hemp  / cannabis derived CBD Oil (Cannabidiol) is a powerful non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid (plant compound) found in varying amounts in Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Ruderalis and Cannabis Sativa. Cannabidiol has become known for its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties and benefits that extend to treating anxiety, depression, chronic or acute pain, PTSD and dozens of other significant health issues.

Our growers have focussed on creating hybrid strains that are high in CBD but somewhat lower in THC, the compound that produces the ‘high’. The CBD Oil component accounts for at least 40% of the total cannabinoids extracted from the plant. CBD has proven to be effective as an alternative or complement to conventional drugs, treatments and therapies. CBD Oil can be used in all the following ways:

Use this equation to calculate cost per ml 

PRICE PER ML = (mg CBD) ÷ (unit price) >> e.g. 750mg ÷ $108 = $6.94 per mg As a guide for dosage: 1 drop = .05ml / 20 drops = 1ml

Cannabis and Cannabidiol (CBD) in Tennessee (5 August 2017)

Tennessee has yet to legalize a comprehensive medical cannabis bill, or implement any progressive recreational cannabis policies. There’s not much support for reform among Tennesseans, as a December 2016 Vanderbilt poll found that 42 percent say it should be legal for medical purposes and 33 percent support recreational cannabis legalization.

Medical Cannabis in Tennessee

Tennessee lawmakers approved Senate Bill 2531 to pass a highly restrictive, limited CBD-specific cannabis oil law in 2014. Under the law, patients with intractable seizures who have obtained certification from a physician can get access to CBD oil as part of a research study. The law has proven ineffective, however, as patients have been so far unable to obtain the cannabis oil. While Tennessee still doesn’t provide in-state resources, Senate Bill 280, passed in 2015, makes it legal for Tennesseans to travel outside of the state to procure the oil.

The state has yet to pass comprehensive medical cannabis laws. Two were proposed in 2015, but both died in committee. In December 2016, Republican lawmakers introduced a comprehensive medical cannabis bill for the 2017 legislative session, but it’s expected to meet resistance from other state lawmakers. The proposed legislation would allow the use of medical cannabis for cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, HIV and AIDS, post-traumatic stress disorder, seizures, and Alzheimer’s disease.

CBD from Hemp Oil in Tennessee

Consumption of CBD hemp oil is federally legal, as CBD hemp oil falls under the same importation and commerce laws as other hemp products. The state of Tennessee has no further policy specifically related to CBD hemp oil, so it is legal to purchase and use.

Recreational Cannabis in Tennessee

Possession of recreational cannabis in any amount is illegal in Tennessee. No matter how small of a quantity is possessed, for the first offense citizens are charged with a misdemeanor and can be jailed for up to a year and face a $250 fine. Tennessee is also yet to enact any policies related to conditional release for first time offenders, as many other states have.

Subsequent offenses can lead to a felony charge, with jail sentences reaching as high as 6 years. Possession of more than half an ounce can be characterized as possession “with intent to distribute.”

In 2016, the cities of Nashville and Memphis both decriminalized small possessions of cannabis. Rather than an individual being automatically charged with a misdemeanor and fined up to a $2,500, a police officer can elect to make the infraction a civil penalty, susceptible to a $50 fine or up to 10 hours of community service.

Cultivation of Cannabis in Tennessee

Cultivating hemp for medical or personal purposes remains illegal in Tennessee.

Tennessee has enacted a bill that allows industrial hemp cultivation along the lines of the Farm Bill in 2014. Under Senate Bill 2495/House Bill 2445, industrial hemp containing less than 0.3% THC is reclassified as an industrial crop rather than a controlled substance. The Tennessee Department of Agriculture accepts applications to grow hemp, and assists farmers in procuring the necessary seed in compliance with the DEA.  In May 2016, Gov. Bill Haslam signed House Bill 2013 to allow for the licensing of hemp processors so that hemp products can be processed in state.
