CBD tinctures and CBD oils are becoming more and more in demand these days as the popularity of hemp rises. Across the US more and more of our states are legalizing the use of marijuana, and there is no sign of it slowing down. Many people are asking questions about CBD products, and there is a good reason. There is much to know, but not a lot of information out there. We plan to tackle one of those questions right now; What is the difference between CBD tinctures/oils and Hemp tinctures/oils?

Arguably - CBD tinctures and CBD oils are very similar Where the confusion comes from is between the difference of CBD oils and hemp oil.

The first thing to point out is that CBD is a cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants. Both CBD and THC cannabinoids are found within each plant, although THC found in hemp is 0.3% or less. The simple explanation is that THC is what gets people stoned, and CBD is the component that has positive wellness benefits. Both of these compounds can be extracted from the plant. The way CBD gets extracted from the hemp plant varies by technique. The two prevalent extraction techniques for extracting CBD from the hemp plant is via food grade ethanol extraction or using CO-2 supercritical methods.

What are CBD Tinctures?

CBD Tinctures are a stepping stone in the wellness industry. CBD tinctures are created by taking the extracted CBD and combining it with a carrier agent, because CBD extract is too concentrated to allow for human ingestion without dilution. The most effective way to ingest CBD tinctures is a few drops under the tongue. The starting serving size is determined by the weight of the person ingesting it. At High Falls Hemp, we have developed a CBD dosing guide to help our customers have the best CBD experience available.

What are Hemp Oils?

Hemp oils are derived from the non-cannabinoid parts of the hemp plant, such as hemp seeds. Many imposter vendors offer hemp oils as if it is the same substance as CBD for a fraction of the price. This is because there is no CBD found in these products, and you should be careful not to purchase these imposter products.

"I'm delighted to be named High Falls Hemp NY's Brand Ambassador and PR & Media Consultant.

Those of you who know me from my sports radio and television work, know that I embrace a healthy lifestyle, often talking about the importance of regular exercise and good nutrition.

So, when Tricia Horst and Rick Weissman, friends of mine for three decades, approached me about helping them promote High Falls Hemp NY, their family-owned CBD company with farming operations in High Falls, New York, offering a trusted source of wellness products for athletes of all sports, I became intrigued.

Then when I tried the lotion and oils, I was sold!

It's so important to educate golfers and all athletes about the benefits of hemp-based CBD and how CBD distinguishes itself from its cousin, the marijuana plant.

They do a great job on this website educating everyone about the potential benefits of CBD, and the importance of selecting a trusted brand like

High Falls Hemp NY, whose products are federally compliant for sale (less than 0.3% THC, and do not get you high), and include a line of hemp based products, made from CBD isolate which are THC free.

I'm thrilled to be able to share High Falls Hemp NY products and philosophy with you."

On December 9, New York governor, Andrew Cuomo signed into law a comprehensive bill that will regulate all aspects of the hemp/CBD industry and includes requirements for the sale of hemp-derived CBD products to consumers. It is the most comprehensive piece of legislation by any state to date and seeks to set a higher level of requirements for the very rapidly expanding hemp-derived CBD market, which is forecasted to grow to $25 billion in sales over the next few years.

As the founder of High Falls Hemp NY, a seed-to-sale grower/manufacturer, and marketing enterprise located in New York's Hudson Valley, with marketing offices in New York City, we applaud this legislation. When we started this journey 18 months ago, our mission was clear. We wanted to create the highest quality products that the consumer can rely on to deliver all the benefits of hemp-derived CBD.

High Falls Hemp NY is a licensed high CBD hemp grower in the state of New York. High Falls, along with our manufacturing and extraction partners are prepared for the steps needed to remain compliant with the new regulations. The New York regulations will reinforce our quality mission processes and compliance regime by making them into law.
Third-Party Lab Reports and QR Codes
At High Falls Hemp we strive to earn your trust through our own internal quality compliance processes. We test each of our product batches at an independent third-party laboratory to confirm cannabinoid content and the absence of heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants. High Falls Hemp puts QR codes on each of our products which link to a section on our website where these lab reports can be accessed. The new legislation requires testing by a third-party lab on every product sold as well as QR codes linking to the lab reports. High Falls Hemp is a step ahead of these requirements.
Retail Store Licensing
The new legislation requires that any retailer that sells CBD obtain a license to do so. They are also required to source their hemp-derived CBD products from manufacturers who are licensed by the state of NY, and are able to show chain of custody from a NY state licensed hemp grower to a NY state licensed hemp extractor and lastly to a NY state licensed hemp manufacturer. Each entity in the chain must abide by the NY state regulations. The legislation does allow for merchants in NY state to source their CBD from outside NY state provided that the products are compliant with all NY state regulations. Licensing of retail stores will be a requirement starting on January 1, 2021, or about 12 months from now.

This aspect of the new legislation will create a new reality for NY CBD and for the country. This legislation will force any NY state merchant selling CBD to make sure they are selling products that are compliant with the new rules. Furthermore, for consumers outside of NY, this legislation will create a safe place for them to buy their CBD products from. "Made in NY" will be a quality seal of approval. New York State CBD will be the shiny castle on the hill which all will look up to and become a magnet for consumers around the country who are looking for the highest-quality CBD.

At High Falls Hemp NY, we will continue to improve, innovate and remain true to our mission to ensure that we remain the "Original and Trusted Source for NY CBD". We thank you for continuing on this journey with us.

It has long been known that terpenes, which are found in the hemp plant have wellness benefits. However, the study of terpenes and their beneficial effects trace back longer than the recent focus on the hemp or marijuana plant. Terpenes are derived from various plants, fruits or vegetables and their wellness benefits have been well documented. In fact it's the Terpenes that produce the fragrance and taste of different plants and fruits.

FUN FACT: Terpenes originally developed in plants as a way to adapt and ward off predators.

For instance, Myrcene which is found in hemp, is also found in the mango fruit and is credited with having a sedative effect as well as being a natural anti-inflammatory agent. Limonene which is also found in citrus fruits, may benefit your metabolism and reduce stress. Pinene is also found in Pine needles and rosemary, and may help clear your sinuses. Linalool in the lavender plant.

It's been interesting to compare the fragrance of last year's harvest and this year's harvest. Limonene was definitely dominant last year, as our fields smelled like lemons, and this year Pinene (known as the fragrance of Pine Trees) stood out.

We are very excited about a new formulation, currently in testing , that combines extra terpenes with our tinctures to produc e benefits such as a sedative/ relaxant and as a bronchial decongestant . W e plan on releasing this formulation in January 2020 as a 1000mg CBD / 30ml (1 ounce) tincture .

On October 29, 2019 the U.S. Department of Agriculture released an interim final rule for Hemp regulations. As a licensed Hemp grower with the NY State Department of Agriculture and Markets, we look forward to having solid regulations, but feel some of the rules are unfriendly to hemp farmers. O ur specific comments, are summarized in this blog post .

As the founder of High Falls Hemp NY, a grower of high CBD Hemp and marketer of finished CBD products, I applaud the USDA's release of the interim hemp rules as mandated by the farm bill of 2018, as it removes much uncertainty from the hemp landscape. However, I totally disagree with the USDA's treatment of THC-A and the required usage of the total THC calculation to determine compliance. There are a few forms of THC in the hemp plant, notably delta-9 THC which actually gets you high and THC-A, the acidic form of THC which converts to delta-9 THC when it is heated up, (or smoked). The Farm Bill of 2018 specifies Delta-9 THC as being the compound which needs to be limited, but the USDA rules now seek to include both forms of THC within the arbitrary 0.3% limit.

I n 2018 and 2019, New York State department of Ag & Markets only sought to test delta-9 THC for compliance and not THC-A. All of our cultivars are compliant for both forms of THC up until a certain time in the harvesting cycle. For instance, when we tested our plants on September 21st, they had a total THC (combined THC-A and delta-9 THC) at or below the 0.3% guideline, but when we retested them on October 4th, the total THC levels ranged from 0.3 to 0.5%. If the new guidelines were in force, we would have to harvest all our crops by the last week of September. The reality is that it takes us a few weeks to harvest our 12 acres and we could inadvertently go over the THC level under the new USDA rules when the harvest drags into October. Additionally, if we were forced to harvest in September, our CBD levels would be lower and accordingly, the value of our crop.

Here is where the entire dialogue gets interesting: We are regulated by the state of New York, and New York could decide to allow THC-A levels above 0.3% for the 2020 growing season according to the new USDA rules, and then see what the USDA says about the acceptability of this compliance regime going forward. My guess is that the USDA will seek to limit total THC and would reject individual state plans for 2021 going forward. The new NY state hemp legislation, which passed both the state assembly and the state senate is in review with the Governor's office, and likely to be signed into law by December 31st, only seeks to require compliance with the delta-9 THC levels. So , while New York state has legislation which will likely allow a different THC compliance regime and one more friendly to its CBD growers, it might ultimately get rejected by the USDA for the 2021 growing season.

My recommendation to the Department of Ag & Markets in NY, New York state legislators and the Governor is to go ahead with the THC-A compliance regime which has existed for the 2018 and 2019 growing seasons and is embedded with the new hemp legislation. This would allow New York Hemp Growers to grow hemp under the existing delta-9 THC limits for 2020, and hopefully sanity will return to the Hempisphere after enough voices make their viewpoint known before the 2021 season.

This is a topic which I have come to accept but bothers me to no end...it's actually a pet peeve of mine, that the word cannabis is now synonymous with pot/marijuana.

Many years ago, cannabis referred to (and still refers to) both hemp , with a delta-9 THC weight of 0.3% or less, and Marijuana, with a THC value above 0.3%. Both hemp and marijuana are the plant cannabis sativa L, so that is why cannabis refers to both forms.

During the recent relaxation of Marijuana prohibition, Pro-Marijuana advocates started using the term cannabis to refer to pot/marijuana, as the term cannabis did not have the same negative connotations as did marijuana or pot. It is almost as if they were getting people to support cannabis, thinking that this svengali slight of hand , made marijuana and pot something different.

Over the past few years, marijuana businesses kept referring to their product as cannabis, when in reality cannabis is a generic term which refers to both hemp and marijuana.

So YES - the use of the nomenclature has become confusing and the reality is that the pot/marijuana businesses are hiding behind the generic term, cannabis. In fact , it has become so ingrained that cannabis is now synonymous with pot/marijuana, when in fact that is technically incorrect. This should confuse most people who do not know better and the calls into question the origins of the word cannabis. Cannabis is now widely misused to refer to pot/marijuana and many incorrectly accept this definition.

As a hemp grower and entrepreneur, I have come to accept the misuse of the word cannabis, as a ploy to legitimatize the marijuana trade.

I used to be a Wall Street guy, and I get pumped about the idea of investing in cool stuff. In 2017, I started looking to invest in the hemp and legal marijuana industry.

I was vetting an investment in a hemp derived CBD business, and part of my diligence was to see if these products actually worked. I had read about CBD, but never found a product that lived up to the hype. We tested and tasted, multiple formulations until we found one that met our standards. Our hemp-derived CBD is a clean tasting formulation, that holds on to all the cannabinoids, while filtering out the residue that can make CBD unpalatable for many people.

What do you know? - nearly every person I sent a sample to reported good results. It didn't solve everyone's problems, but it DID help alleviate a number of different health complaints that my friends and family had been having. In fact, for some, using CBD was a transformative event as ailments which affected my family and friends for years dramatically improved.

Suddenly, my potential "investment" took on a personal meaning. And when I couldn't find a company to invest in that was up to my standards, my wife, Tricia Horst, and I decided to start our own.

Now, at the end of our 2nd harvest season, we are reflecting on how important our mission has become and how rewarding it is to be involved in this incredible new industry. The CBD wellness revolution will continue to improve the lives of generations to come.

Thanks for being on this journey with us! We really appreciate your support!

The human body and the body of dogs, cats and many other animals all produce cannabinoids. When produced inside the body, they are referred to as endo-cannabinoids. Cannabinoids interact with your body through the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The ECS is a collection of receptors, categorized as either CB1 or CB2 receptors, which are scattered throughout the body (see diagram).

These endocannabinoids are used to regulate a variety of body sensitivities, including inflammation, stress, sleep, and others. The primary purpose of the endocannabinoid system is to maintain balance or homeostasis, which is the key to avoiding many health issues.

Sometimes the body does not produce enough of its own cannabinoids to maintain homeostasis. By working through the ECS, taking CBD and the whole range of cannabinoids from natural sources, can have a positive impact on health and wellness. Each person has a unique ECS profile and will be affected differently by cannabinoids depending on several factors, see our dosage guide for more information.

CBD and THC are found in the hemp and marijuana plants. CBD and the related cannabinoids (such as CBC, CBG, CBN, CBDV, etc.) produce a variety of wellness benefits, and are used by people and pets who want to improve stress, pain, anxiety, inflammation, fitness, and sleep.

THC on the other hand, is mostly associated as the compound which produces a "high" or euphoric effect and is the well-known compound found in marijuana.

Hemp plants are high in CBD and other beneficial cannabinoids, and low in THC (0.3% or less). This amount of THC is the legal limit for Hemp under the Farm Bills of 2014 and 2018.

CBD and THC - the full-spectrum of wellness
A small amount of THC (less than 0.3%) is is believed to enhance the effect of CBD. This is not enough THC to produce a high.

Full-Spectrum CBD:
This type of product features CBD, THC, and other beneficial cannabinoids interacting with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to support wellness. These compounds work together to produce what is known as the "Entourage Effect".

CBD Isolate:
We also produce products that include only the CBD compound and remove THC. This is for people who cannot take any amount of THC for professional or medical reasons. An example of some professionals who cannot take any amount of THC are pilots, air traffic controllers, active military or law enforcement, health care professionals and commercial drivers licensees (CDL).

Broad Spectrum CBD:
This refers to products that contain CBD and other beneficial cannabinoids (such as CBC, CBG, CBN, etc.) but without THC. High Falls Hemp will be creating some Broad Spectrum products in 2020.

Whether you're new to CBD or an experienced user, you've probably read how important it is to use CBD only from a supplier who provides independent third-party lab reports of their products.

These reports detail the active cannabinoid content in the products. Full spectrum products will show the presence of multiple cannabinoids, in addition to CBD. The report should also show that the THC level is below 0.3%, conforming to the legal definition of Hemp. It is important that each hemp/CBD product have a batch or lot number on the label and that there is a separate lab report for each batch.

High Falls Hemp NY products are made with full-spectrum phytocannabinoids, which means that they contain all of the beneficial cannabinoids present in the hemp plant. The lab report details the amount of each cannabinoid present in the product (e.g. CBD, CBN, CBG) with the heaviest concentration being CBD.

Below is the lab report from one of our 3000mg tincture oils. As you can see, we've added several callouts to define where to find the relevant information on a lab report. Note that these percentages are by weight per serving (e.g. one dropper of oil or one soft gel).

At High Falls Hemp, we take the commitment to make lab reports available very seriously. We not only test for cannabinoid content but we also have full-panel tests performed to show our products do not contain any harmful chemicals.

We pride ourselves on attention to detail when it comes to the quality contents of our product. If you have any questions or would like to see a copy of the lab report for the specific lot number you purchased, refer to our Independent Lab Reports page or email us at support@highfallshemp.com.
