First discovered in the cannabis plant in the 1960’s, cannabinoids were found to have amazing health benefits to all mammals. Some cannabinoids like THC can get you high, others like CBD cannot.

A couple of decades later researchers found that mammals create cannabinoids naturally. As we get older or our health is compromised we create less. They went on to discover the endocannabinoid system and how very important it is to our body function, impact on mood, responsible for fertility and a whole host of other benefits.

Cannabinoids made by the body are called endocannabinoids.

Cannabinoids derived from plants are phytocannabinoids.

Supplement your pets (or yours) with cannabinoids to achieve a proper balance.

Hemp Health For Pets!

Our Calm Pet product line, at this time, does not extend to our feline friends. While cats tend to be more chill than dogs, they can be more sensitive to certain things like one of the ingredients found in Calm Pet.

While the risk is small to most cats, our calming products are intended for dogs.

So, within the next several months look out for our cat calming product. It is currently being developed and experimented on in our secret lab with only the smartest and craziest cats known to man.

In the meantime, pay attention to your cats diet, environment (new cats or kids), and other external factors before considering a supplement to calm them down. Catnip and more play time are simple first steps before exploring a supplement like Hemp Well (or prescribed medications). Additionally, our Relief and Everyday Omegas line can help your cat reduce inflammation from everyday activities and supports a healthy immune system.

We all understand hemp, marijuana, and CBD, right? Smoke it, eat it, whatever… and you or your pet will be stoned or high, right?

Not quite. So, let’s begin by getting everyone on the same page.

See both hemp and marijuana come from the same cannabis plant family. The difference is that one plant has been bred for its industrial and biological benefits (hemp) while the other was bred for its mind-altering effects (marijuana). Think of all dogs as wolves but just bred for different purposes.

Even with state law changing across the nation the cannabis plant is controlled under the federal Controlled Substance Act of 1970. It has taken the time from 1970 until the federal Agricultural Act of 2014 to finally provide a legal definition that separates the beneficial and now legal products of the hemp plant ?from the always was and still is illegal “high” of the marijuana plant?.

The Agricultural Act of 2014 defined the legal hemp of the cannabis plant as containing “0.3 percent THC or less” while the illegal marijuana of the cannabis plant as containing more than 0.3% THC. THC is 1 of those 113 cannabinoids known to scientists and THC is the cannabinoid that produces the “high.”

Now, as we think of cannabinoids, let’s go back a second to “all dogs are wolves but just bred for different purposes.” Both hemp and marijuana contain cannabinoids as they are both from the same plant family. Among those known 113 cannabinoids the two most popular, but for different reasons, are CBD (health benefits) and THC (getting “high”). Both cannabinoids, CBD and THC, can be found in both the hemp plant and marijuana plant. But, because the hemp plant has been bred for its industrial and biological benefits it has a higher concentration of CBD vs THC and vise-versa for the marijuana plant as it is bred for its “high” thus bred for a higher concentration of THC vs CBD. No Hemp Well product will get your pet “high” as hemp contains under 0.3% THC.

And, of course, American farmers benefit from the production of a new crop, hemp, while the public benefits from hemp’s natural omegas and cannabinoids!

Heilongjiangin and Yunnan provinces in China account for half of the world’s legal hemp cultivation, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Government support and a long tradition of hemp farming in China has turned the country in to the world’s epicenter of production and research.

While no ready statistics exist, it is my estimate that 3/4 of all CBD in the United States is sourced from China. The shady underbelly of middle-men and CBD brokers complicates the actual number. But the reality is, CBD is cheaper in China.

When new tariffs, a 25% tax, are placed on goods imported into the United States from China this year you better believe that CBD will be impacted.

Since Hemp Well does not source our hemp from China; we will not pay these new tariffs. However, with a 25% tax on 75% of the CBD in America and ever increasing demand, the market will suffer.

Until Chinese suppliers and US distributors negotiate this new political pricing wrench, ultimately, the consumer will bear most of the burden. Expect to pay more for your CBD products.

American Pit Bull Terrier’s have cannabinoid receptors throughout their bodies which control everything from sleep, mood and pain. The cannabinoids and Omega fatty acids found within Hemp Well can help to support body function, help with relaxation and may assist with inflammation from everyday activities.
