Black & Gold Label

From "Black & Gold Label"

You need a trusted CBD manufacturing company. Someone that focuses on quality and transparency is key to finding CBD products that are safe and effective.

Black and Gold Label LLC verifies its CBD by using third-party laboratories to test the raw oil and then the finished products. The first test analyzes the purity of the oil, from pesticides to residual solvents. The second test looks at the potency of the finished product, making sure it complies with the USDA Farm Bill.

A final note. There are other quality markers to look at that all CBD manufacturing companies should follow such as: no added fillers, organically grown hemp, non-GMO. Unfortunately, there is a big gap in the market for quality CBD products. Black and Gold Label LLC CBD products are made using the highest quality control available to ensure product safety. It is called the CBDTQM guidelines.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP, MARIJUANA, AND CANNABIS?

The scientific, legal, and common meanings are all different and these words get misused and misinterpreted all the time. Not to mention, if you saw a hemp plant and a marijuana plant sitting side by side, you would never be able to tell the difference! This creates confusion and suspicion for consumers, law makers, and law enforcement.

The word “cannabis” has become synonymous with the stuff that makes you high. People throw the terms hemp, marijuana, and cannabis out interchangeably. In some ways, they are the same… in other ways, they are very, very different.

Technically, hemp and marijuana are both Cannabis plants. Cannabis is the genus that all hemp and marijuana plants are classified. Two of the most popular species are sativa and indica. These plants are commonly known by their scientific names Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica. There are many subspecies, or strains, of each species. For example, there are flower strains like Pineapple Express, OG Kush, Sour Space Candy, Spectrum, etc. Strains are bred and crossbred (or hybridized) for specific traits or characteristics, not unlike how dogs or horses are bred.

Legally Speaking (in the United States)

The US Government determined that the difference between hemp and marijuana is the amount of THC in the plant. The Farm Bill defined the fulcrum between the two at 0.3% THC. To put it simply:

≤0.3% THC = Hemp (Legal in the US)

>.3% THC= Marijuana (Not Legal unless States allow recreational or medicinal marijuana)

So why pick THC as the difference? THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is a chemical found in Cannabis plants and at the time the Farm Bills were drafted, it was thought to be responsible for most of cannabis’ psychological effects. Per the National Institute on Drug Abuse, THC acts a lot like the cannabinoid chemicals made naturally by the body. Lawmakers picked out 0.3% as the tipping point between making a person high or not. In other countries, these percentages are different.

To make things even MORE confusing, they’ve discovered more than one type of THC in the cannabis plants! To name a few, you’ll find Delta 9, THC-A, THC-V, and Delta 8.

Once the Farm Bill allowed for the legal growing of hemp, farmers selected strains of cannabis that were high in CBD and low in THC. After generations of breeding, high CBD strains of hemp are now plentiful, but look and smell EXACTLY like marijuana

Black and Gold Label LLC only sells legal THC hemp products.
