Happy National Hemp Day!
What Is ‘National Hemp Day?’
National Hemp Day is observed Annually on February 4th to recognize & celebrate the past, present, and future roles of Hemp in our lives. cbdMD (A Publicly-Traded; Hemp-Extracted Wellness Company) founded the Holiday on February 4, 2019; as a way to build awareness about the value of Hemp, the Farmers who work so hard to produce it, the Innovators who use it in new and unexpected ways, and anyone who finds Hemp useful in its many forms.
Hemp, or Industrial Hemp; is a Cannabis Plant rich in Cannabidiol (CBD), a naturally occurring cannabinoid that helps optimize various important biological functions. CBD benefits us by interacting with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS), an internal network of cell-signaling receptors that helps regulate key processes ranging from memory, mood, appetite, digestion, mobility, and rest.
Often mistaken for its federally illegal Cousin, Marijuana; Hemp is the complete opposite. Hemp is 100% federally legal and does not make the consumer inebriated. This is because hemp contains 0.3% or less THC; the cannabinoid in Marijuana that leads someone to become beside themselves. Since the Farm Bill passed in 2018, Industrial Hemp production has skyrocketed, and with it, the entire Hemp Industry.
Types of Hemp Products:
More than 25,000 products contain, or are made entirely from Hemp. From Hemp Seeds to Hemp Stalks, there isn’t a single part of the plant without utility. In addition to CBD Products, which now dominate the Health & Wellness Industry--thanks to their holistic appeal, other Hemp-Derived Products include:
Hemp Product Benefits:
A Green Alternative ~ Hemp is a fast-growing plant that requires 50% less water than cotton. A renewable resource, Hemp serves as the perfect green alternative.

May Support Heart Health ~ Hemp Seeds and Hemp Seed Oil are highly nutritious superfoods packed with Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamins, Minerals, and Protein. When added to food, Hemp is very beneficial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Hemp Flower also contains CBD, which improves your overall wellness.
