CBD is a doping product banned in sport

False

CBD is not a performance-enhancing substance so why ban it? In 1998, Ross Rebagliati, a Canadian snowboarder, tested positive for THC during the competition. This prompted the Olympic authorities to add cannabis and all its cannabinoids to the list of banned substances.
But since then, a lot has changed…
In 2013, the committee quietly increased the rate of THC allowed for an athlete during the competition.
In 2016, they changed again to a limit that means athletes can use cannabis, as long as they stop using cannabis a few weeks before the competition.
In 2018, the rules have not changed for THC but the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has finally authorized the consumption of THC-free CBD products for athletes before, after and even during competition. This means that a runner will be able to apply a product to the CBD on his leg just before the race.

CBD-based products have the same effects as recreational cannabis

False

Lorsqu’en When in 1753 the Swedish botanist Carl von Linné invented our plant classification system, he used the Esperanto of the time : Latin. He calls hemp Cannabis Sativa L, that is, cultivated hemp (L means “cultivated” according to Linné).
The words “hemp” and “cannabis” – one French, the other Latin – are therefore, in principle, interchangeable. However, in 1961, hemp was classified by international conventions as “narcotics without medical interest”. Since then, the word “cannabis” has taken on a particular connotation, as if there were two different plants – as if there were a “good” textile hemp side, and on the other hand, the “bad” psychotropic cannabis.

However, all natural varieties of hemp/cannabis contain, in very different proportions, a resistant fiber (in the stem), a great nutritional richness (in the seed), psychoactive and therapeutic principles (in flowers). All varieties are similar (it is impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye) and all hybridize with each other.

We’re forced to smoke CBD

False

CBD can be purchased in a variety of forms. Flowers, infusions, oils, capsules in absorption or application. At CORELL, we attach importance to making no incentive to smoke because all fumes contain many compounds that are irritating or toxic for the lungs.

This is why different alternative absorption methods – including vaporizers – are becoming more and more common. Absorption by the lungs offers an immediate effect including vaporization. They heat the previously ground plant material to an optimal temperature of 178 degrees Celsius (it must not drop below 130 degrees Celsius or rise above 225 degrees Celsius). At this temperature, there is no combustion so no smoke and no toxic tars are released.

Instead of burning, active ingredients are “sprayed”, that is, transformed into an inhalable aerosol. You can find our recommended vaporizer in our accessories section.

CBD-based products with 0% THC are necessarily chemicals

False

Not at CORELL. To obtain a CBD product without THC, organic Rapeseed oil, rich in omega 3+6+9, is mixed with CBD isolate. Isolate is not a chemical! CBD isolate is simply the purest form of CBD. It is extracted using different methods from the plant in the form of crystals and then reduced to powder.
