FAQ

No, they are not the same, although they are both part of the Cannabis family. Hemp is different from marijuana in its function, cultivation and application. While marijuana has a high level of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) ranging between 5%-35%, hemp has a very low level of THC, which NYS requires to stay between 0%-.3%. Should our hemp crop exceed .3% THC, it is technically “marijuana”. THC is the chemical responsible marijuana’s psychological effects, and since hemp only has a trace amount, you shouldn’t be experiencing any psychological side effects. Hemp has increased amounts of CBD, (cannabidiol) content that acts as THC’s antagonist, working chemically together with the receptors in the brain.

Sarah Rogers (Iris’ sister) originally pitched her family the idea of growing hemp in a Chipotle’s parking lot, and that’s what got the ball rolling for the Rogers family. Homestead Hemp was one of the first farms in NYS granted a permit to grow and research the plant, mainly focusing on growth for the use of CBD oil. Iris moved home to help the new business venture get off the ground, but after a year in, Sarah left the business unexpectedly leaving Iris to either quit or takeover. She took over with the idea of her family history in the spotlight, launching what is now Homestead Hemp 1787.

The differences between hemp and marijuana didn’t stop our political leaders from getting confused and accidentally grouping all Cannabis species as a Schedule I Drug and banning it in 1970 under the Controlled Substances Act. This, unfortunately, classified hemp as a drug, even though they serve completely different purposes.

We work locally with a NYS based processor, who uses CO2 extraction for CBD oil. CO2 extraction is a process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull the desired phytochemicals from a plant. In the world of cannabis, the process pulls all the essential cannabinoids, terpene oils and waxes out of the plant material.

Proper dosing of CBD can be tricky because everyone is different. It’s important when taking CBD to really pay attention to your body, your stress level, and your anxiety. We recommend starting with 20 mg a day, either all at once or split up between the morning and the evening. After a week if you’re not feeling desire affects, up your dosage by 20 milligrams the next week, and so on, until you find your groove.

Everyone has an endocannabinoid systems (ECS) but it’s not a topic we learn much about in school. Our ECS can affect our minds, nervous systems, health and immunity, as well as our skin, bones, organs and more. Ingesting CBD and other Phyto cannabinoids like it have shown to help control pain, aid sleep, alleviate anxiety and overall help with the homeostasis of the mind and body.

It’s hard to say how long your bottle of CBD oil will last because it really depends how much you’re taking and how often, We estimate about 30 doses in each bottle. If taken lightly, a bottle can last up to a month. If taken a little more heavily, a bottle could last 2-3 weeks.

Probably not, but it could! If you’re someone who is frequently drug tested, you probably have a higher risk of it showing up. While the chances are low that it would, we can’t guarantee that it won’t.

You CAN smoke hemp flower, and hemp pre-rolls that have high amounts of CBD in the flower, but you can’t (or you shouldn’t try) to smoke CBD OIL. Our CBD oil is blended with a carrier oil, MCT, that can become carcinogenic when heated.

They are indeed! We know that CBD and THC work best chemically when they have each other, almost like peanut butter and jelly. Full spectrum CBD is derived from hemp and contains many cannabinoids beyond CBD & THC, including naturally-occurring terpenes, essential vitamins, fatty acids, protein, and more.
