    CBD Hemp Extract

    Cannabis sativa L.

    Cannabinoid

    The plant where it all began, humanity's oldest crop, and the root of the whole Grass & Co. story.

    Traditional use

    Hemp has been cultivated for over 10,000 years, for fibre, food and traditional preparations across Asia and Europe. CBD itself was identified in 1940, and modern cultivation lets suppliers produce extracts that meet UK legal limits for controlled cannabinoids.

    Provenance, where ours comes from

    Extracted from legally cultivated hemp and refined to meet UK legal limits for controlled cannabinoids, then blended and bottled in the UK. CBD certificates for batches tested in the last 24 months are published in the Evidence Locker.

    What's in it, the compounds researchers look at
    Cannabidiol (CBD)
    The primary cannabinoid in our extracts.
    Terpenes
    Aromatic compounds retained in broad-spectrum extract.
    Minor cannabinoids
    CBG and CBC in trace amounts.
    The form we use

    Broad-spectrum extract from EU-approved hemp cultivars, CO2-extracted and third-party tested for cannabinoid content and contaminants. Controlled-substance thresholds are checked against the applicable UK limits.

    What the research has looked at

    CBD is a UK novel food, meaning products must hold a validated application to be sold legally. Under UK Food Standards Agency guidance the recommended maximum for healthy adults is 10mg CBD per day.

    Field notes
    • CBD was where Grass & Co. began, in 2019, with EASE.
    • 'Broad-spectrum' means the wider plant profile is retained while THC is removed.
    • The Evidence Locker publishes CBD certificates for batches tested in the last 24 months, alongside mushroom formula certificates and archived batches.
