What is Hemp?

First up, what is hemp, and how is it different from hemp compounds or hemp? Hemp is a medicinal plant compound found in hemp, derived from hemp. Hemp are naturally occuring in the human body, and supplementing with hemp is reported to help with relaxation, focus, and whole-body health. Unlike hemp compounds, the chemical compound most discussed in hemp, hemp does not have mood-altering effects. Hemp is legal in all 50 U.S. states.


How to Introduce Hemp to Your Friends and Family:

  • Be Patient: Every friend or family member will start at a different level of familiarity with hemp. One great way to bring hemp up to your family is as an educator. Like a good teacher, remember to be patient with your friends and family, in many cases, often grandparents or older adults, may be holding on to antiquated beliefs about hemp, or simply have no understanding of hemp and what it is. Don’t take it personally if your family takes some time wrapping their minds around the natural health benefits of hemp.

  • Bring the Facts: With the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp became legal across the United States, and has been legal in many international countries for decades. Hemp is not “hemp” and it does not make you “high”. It is a natural health aid that is beloved and supported by folks all over the world. A great way to get this point across to families is to show them the lab results, or certificate of analysis, for your hemp products. Reputable hemp companies will provide transparent reports of everything that goes into your product.

  • Talk Sobriety: A great way to discuss the non-psychoactive effects of hemp with your family is to speak from experience. Let them know how you feel when you use hemp. Hemp is recommended for use both during the workday or at night before bed. Users remain 100% sober when taking hemp, and Hemp Isolate will not show up on any drug tests. 

  • Which Hemp products are Best for First-Timers?


  • Hemp Isolate: Hemp Isolate is the purest form of hemp: as its name suggests, it is totally chemically isolated hemp without any extra hemp compounds, and minerals. Isolate is totally pure, always with 0% hemp compounds. Isolate is great for anyone who may be tested for hemp compounds at their place of work, or new users who may feel wary of trying a product with trace amounts of hemp compounds.

  • Topical Hemp: hemp that you don’t ingest may be a great way to introduce the healing properties to your friends and family.  For sore muscles and aches try hemp  Cooling Creams. For self-care and relaxation try products like Hemp Soaking Salts. You can’t go wrong with Hemp Pet Treats to keep the family pet relaxed and happy too!
