Does CBD oil contain THC?

Does CBD Oil Contain THC?

This is perhaps the most common question that we are asked here at Fleur d’Henri. The short answer here is “well, it depends.” but, our oils and products contain absolutely no THC at all. Allow me to elaborate more here. CBD comes in many different forms, oils, treats, skincare, lotion, roll ons, etc. We all know this. What many of us don’t know is that CBD oil itself has a few different forms…. Let’s back up here. 

Types of CBD oil:

CBD oil comes in 3 primary forms, and we believe that we’ve found the way to get the most of what the marajuana plant has to offer, without leaving any traces of THC. When looking into what types of CBD Oil, you’ll hear the phrases “full spectrum”, “broad spectrum”, and “isolate”. Fleur uses “broad spectrum 0.0% THC”.  

Here’s more info on how that works: 

Full Spectrum CBD Oil - Contains all 113 cannabinoids within the marijuana plant, including THC (the only psychoactive cannabinoid). Full spectrum is easier to manufacture, because it can be emulsified, dissolved, and homogenized much more effectively - compared with an isolate. Since the isolate are difficult to dissolve in water containing media during manufacturing or consumption, they pose a risk of inconsistent delivery of active for consumers and patients alike.

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil - Contains only a few cannabinoids within the hemp or marijuana plant. This form is exponentially more beneficial than an isolate. CBD in the presence of other plant constituents improves the dose-response in a standardized hemp extract, showing it is more potent and efficacious than pure CBD isolate. Various research groups have studied a range of physiological parameters, such as analgesic (pain relieving) effects, and have concluded that the higher efficiency of plant extract can be explained by additive or synergistic interaction between CBD, terpenes, and the minor phytocannabinoids in the extracts. This is because other phytocannabinoids, including Tetrahydrocannabivarin, Cannabigerol, and Cannabichromene exert additional effects of therapeutic interest and the therapeutic synergy observed with plant extracts results in the requirement for a lower amount of active components.

CBD Isolate - Contains only 1 cannabinoid within the plant - CBD. CBD isolate has been used for various Investigational New Drug applications. GW Pharmaceuticals has an approval pending with Food and Drug administration for a drug with CBD as the active ingredient. Historically, the active ingredients in their purified form are not allowed in any consumer or drug product upon FDA-approval. Therefore, designing a product with purified CBD, will present a challenge for manufacturers, as it will soon be illegal to use. However, designing consumer products or supplements with full-spectrum hemp oil with up to 80% CBD and no THC provides a solution to those who would want a viable and legal supply of CBD raw material in the form of a botanical extract.

Broad Spectrum 0.0%THC - That's us!! We utilize the entire marijuana plant, and remove ALL traces of THC. This means that we are utilizing all of the cannabinoids within the marijuana plant, except for THC.

So, does CBD Oil Contain THC? Well, it depends. Full spectrum CBD oil does contain THC, some broad spectrum oils contain trace amounts of THC along with other beneficial cannabinoids found in the marajuana plant, and CBD isolate contains no THC, and only CBD. Most importantly, however, is Fluer d’Henri’s broad spectrum 0.0% THC CBD oil. Giving you all of the benefits of the entire marajuana plant minus the psychoactive effects of THC!
