About CBD

CBD is short for cannabidiol. It’s one of many powerful phytocannabinoids found in hemp and is known for supporting body and mind in various ways.

Many people refer to hemp oil when speaking about hemp seed oil while others use it as shorthand to refer to an oil that carries CBD (cannabidiol) extract. The first one, is from hemp seeds is primarily composed of dietary fats, which means it can provide benefits for skin but does not include all of the same plant compounds (such as CBD). These phytocannabinoids cannabidiol, among others are found naturally in the leafs and flowers (also known as “aerial parts”) of hemp. After deriving the cannabinoids from plant parts during our production process, we’re left with a broad-spectrum hemp extract that retains a range of the phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids – all of which are found naturally in hemp. This extract is then diluted with a carrier oil to make the final product.

Although CBD is the most “famous” cannabinoid, it is just one of over 80+ cannabinoids that can be extracted from hemp. In fact, scientists found that these plant compounds have a better effect on the body when they work together, rather than alone (also known as the “entourage effect”). This means that CBD and all those other great compounds can support the body more fully than just CBD.

Our bodies have a vast network of receptors, called the Endocannabinoid System. Its purpose is to help us stay balanced, even when challenged by external factors and certain lifestyle choices. CBD and other cannabinoids fit into those receptors helping us stay in good health by supporting many of the body’s physical processes

Well, it depends. Meaning, it depends on what your body needs. Each body is different, so everybody will have a different response. Since full spectrum hemp extract (that contains all cannabinoids) works with the body’s internal Endocannabinoid System to maintain good health, the effect is personalized based on what you have going on internally. That being said, quite a few people mention a feeling of relaxation, while others note that consuming hemp extract helps them feel focused. The best way to find out how CBD will work for you, is to try it yourself!

CBD is generally well tolerated and considered safe. As with any other supplement, there is a chance that it could cause adverse reactions for some people, and/ or could interact with certain medications. As with any dietary supplement, consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, have or suspect a medical condition or are taking any medications.

CBD is geStudies show that hemp extract with CBD can be well-tolerated by many. Since the most common results of taking it, according to our clients experience, are calm and focus; relief from exercise-induced inflammation; support for healthy sleep cycles; and relief from everyday stresses, anyone looking for balance in these areas might benefit from a cannabinoid extract with CBD and additional plant compounds.nerally well tolerated and considered safe.

Cannabinoids are the primary chemical compounds produced by the cannabis plant. They have been claimed to provide relief to an array of symptoms including pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammation. They do so by imitating compounds our bodies naturally produce, called endocannabinoids, which act to maintain internal stability and health. Cannabinoids are vital in the functioning of our immune and nervous systems. There are over 80 identified cannabinoids that the hemp plant produces naturally. Of those, Cannabidiol (CBD) is the most widely known. Other known hemp cannabinoids include Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabichromene (CBC).

We are a vertically integrated company. We develop, breed and grow seeds and varieties at our farm, and in other neighboring Colorado farms, with the help of our hemp farming friends. We also extract our oil using our in-house extracting machines and continuously develop innovative hemp and hemp derived products at our R&D center. PSC is a one-stop shop for all hemp derived products. By choosing PSC, you are guaranteed to receive in-house quality from seed to product.

Agriculture & Seeds

Yes. B-11 is PSC’s in-house hemp seed variety, which we have been cultivating and developing over the last five years in different fields across Colorado. In 2018, the B-11 variety was approved by the Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) and the Colorado Seed Growers Association (CSGA) as a certified and exclusive industrial hemp variety. Lab tests conducted by the CDA yielded consistently positive results, ensuring that THC levels are below the 0.3% threshold.

In addition to our proprietary strain, B-11, PSC cultivates and grows a variety of certified strains, all grown under our strict in-house protocols, in the trusted hands of the local farmers we collaborate with.

Lab tests conducted by the CDA yielded consistently positive results, ensuring that THC levels are below the 0.3% threshold, while the levels of CBD and other cannabinoids remain high. Our B11 will give you the full benefit of a range of other rich cannabinoids, not just CBD

Your CBD yield very much depends on multiple variables: the growing method, soil quality, irrigation etc., but optimally, B11 should consistently provide a yield of between 6-9 percent CBD.

Sowing season is around May-June, and harvesting is between September-October.

For optimal growth, it is recommended to sow hemp in well drained sandy loam soils. However, the B11 has been proven to be very adaptive and to thrive even in alkaline soils rich in organic material.

Our B11 seeds were developed and organically grown in our remote and isolated farm in Western Colorado. We do not use any pesticides, fertilizers, chemical herbicides, genetically modified organisms or ionizing radiation. We adhere to the strictest and purest growing methods and believe in holistic and regenerative agriculture practices, the use of renewable sources and the conservation of our soils and waters.

The cannabis plant contains many different phytochemicals including cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds. Full spectrum hemp contains all compounds that naturally occur in the hemp plant: terpenes, essential oils, and other cannabinoids. Thus, full spectrum oil comprises not just CBD, but many other rich cannabinoids. On the other hand, CBD isolate contains only the CBD molecule and is produced by removing all other compounds found in the plant, leaving no other active ingredients.

CO2 Hemp Extraction

PSC uses CO2 extraction as its method of extraction. CO2 extraction is a process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull the desired phytochemicals (CBD) from a plant. This method has proven to be one of the most versatile, cleanest, and safest means of producing hemp concentrates. It is also considered the more viable alternative to other methods of separation and extraction, as well as the most expensive one. CO2 is already a standard extraction method for the food and herbal supplement industries: from the decaffeination of coffee and tea to the extraction of essential oils for perfumes, this process has become commonplace in many fields.

CO2 is beneficial for the hemp concentrate market due to its customizability factor, and also because at certain temperatures and pressures it acts as a solvent, without the dangers of actually being one. When CO2 extraction is used to its fullest potential, the range of CO2-based products can be much broader than other extraction methods. Modification of pressure, temperature, and solvent ratios allows us to create various products, ranging from vaporizer-friendly oils to dabbing concentrates such as waxes, crumbles, and even shatters and saps.

There are several techniques available for extracting hemp. The two most common techniques utilized by extraction facilities across the industry are CO2 extraction and ethanol extraction.

We prefer the CO2 extraction over the ethanol based technique as the CO2 method has proven to be one of the most versatile, cleanest, and safest means of producing hemp concentrates. It is also considered the more viable alternative to other methods of separation and extraction, as well as the most expensive one.
