The Cannabis Plant Family

This superfood differs from other plants from the cannabis family that are illegal (marijuana). In 1937 the U.S. created laws prohibiting the growing, handling and distribution of all the cannabis plants. The government didn't distinguish between the different types of plants.

Marijuana contains high levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive substance that produces a drug induced high.

This powerful superfood, although it is also a plant from the cannabis family, does not contain traceable amounts of THC and does not have the same effects as marijuana.

Today, we can legally purchase this powerful superfood and get all of it's healthy benefits.

Some Last Thoughts

This powerful seed can be purchased as cold pressed oil, seeds, protein powder and as an ingredient in a number of foods. The raw seeds have a pleasant nutty taste and can be added to salads, sauces, baked goods and smoothies.
