I am in a state that doesn’t have legal marijuana. Can I still buy CBD products?

More

Gem's hemp is grown and extracted under the strict guidelines of the Kentucky Department of Agricultural Industrial Hemp Pilot Program, which allows us to legally sell across all 50 states and internationally.

Do your products have THC in them?

More

THC FREE: Gem products are tested to contain non-detectable levels of Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol, which Gem defines for this product as less than 0.8PPM (PPM).

Will I fail a drug test if I enjoy CBD products?

More

It depends on the testing standards of the lab administering your drug test. Most companies only search for the THC cannabinoid, which is the main psychoactive component of the marijuana plant. While Gem products are THC free, there are some testing facilities that check for a spectrum of cannabinoids that could trigger a positive drug test. You can always contact the lab to verify what exactly will be tested.

Why do you source your hemp from Kentucky instead of Colorado?

More

Kentucky's ecology is perfect for growing hemp. The growing season is longer and the soil is richer than Colorado's, so the quality of the hemp is better. Growing under the Kentucky Hemp Pilot Program is also 100% compliant with Section 7606 of the 2014 Farm Bill, which means harvesting and distributing is 100% legal at the federal level.

What kind of tests do you perform on your products?

More

Each batch of our CBD is third-party lab tested and guaranteed to be free of contaminants like heavy metals, bacteria, microbial life, mycotoxins and pesticides.

What’s the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil?

More

The main difference between CBD oil and hemp oil is that hemp oil does not contain CBD. CBD and hemp oils are made from different parts of the plant and have different purposes. CBD is a compound found in industrial hemp. At Gem, we utilize a whole plant CO2 extraction process that allows us to draw the CBD from the plant material and filter out unnatural substances, while maximizing pure CBD concentration. While CBD is extracted from the entire plant, minus the seeds, hemp oil is extracted from the seeds. Hemp oil is made from pressing hemp seeds and is used in a variety of products. Hemp-seed oil is used as a protein supplement for food, as varnish for wood and is often used in hair and skin products.

What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)?

More

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of cannabinoid receptors located in the brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors. There are two main types of receptors in the ECS, CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are primarily located in the central nervous system and brains of mammals, and CB2 are generally found in the peripheral nervous system. There are two main cannabinoids mammals produce- 2AG and Anandamide.
