Industrial hemp

Industrial hemp is the form of hemp grown for the production of CBD. 

Isolate 

Extracting only one cannabinoid, such as CBD, from the Hemp. The intention of using a CBD isolate is to avoid THC.

Not all isolates are bad, but the method of extraction can impair the CBD. For example, chemical processes can bleach the CBD and removes the precious nutrients.

Another practice is using questionably sourced or heavily processed CBD isolates. Some CBD Isolates are so highly processed that they lose valuable CBD nutrients such as CBG.
