 Are your beloved CBD products silently harming you? Don’t get me wrong, CBD has incredible benefits for your mind, body, and spirit. But the industry is new, and regulations aren’t always met. While distributors of marijuana, hemp, and CBD products are required to test for heavy metals, that doesn’t mean they always do it right. Recently, there have been recalls of contaminated products.
We who turn to CBD for it’s powerful benefits are looking for a holistic, non-pharmacological, non-toxic approach to managing pain. We shouldn’t have an added worry about heavy metals in CBD oil. The Problems Contaminated Hemp Can CauseLet’s be clear on what commonly contaminantes hemp.4
Heavy metal exposure leads to devastating, long-term effects like:
And pesticides alone is a whole other beast. Natural skincare brands have recognized the terrible effects of pesticides on skin, including
We’ve been aware of these issues for years. It’s only natural to wonder . . . How common is it?Well, in a randomized test on 57 cannabis concentrate samples coming from hemp grown in California, 80% were found to be contaminated.5 Yikes. The problem isn’t pesticides or heavy metals alone—the nature of hemp is why contamination is common. Hemp Is a Powerful PhytoremediatorPhyto what? “Phytoremediation: use of various types of plants to remove, transfer, stabilize, and/or destroy contaminants in the soil and groundwater.”6 In other words, hemp breaks down toxins and pollutants present in the soil it’s planted in. It literally does good wherever it goes. How does hemp clean the ground it’s planted in?Hemp is an effective phytoremediator for three reasons:
Because hemp has such deep roots and grows so quickly, it’s able to rapidly repair an environment. It has the incredible ability to grow even in the worst soil conditions because it soaks up whatever it’s given. This has led it to be used in some of the most devastated places on Earth. Hemp was used to repair the Chernobyl disaster site.Back in the 90’s, hemp fields were planted around the Chernobyl disaster site.7 Even in fields of nuclear waste, among heavy metals like cadmium, nickel, and chromium, the hemp flourished and fantastically reduced the amount of toxins present. Phytotech, the company that helped with this project, said it’s one of the best phytoremediators they’re found to date. Despite their healthy outward appearance, industrial hemp used for phytoremediation is polluted and useful only for things like biofuel. The Other Uses of Contaminated HempWith the alarming amount of contaminated products on the market, it’s obvious that not all hemp manufacturers are taking the right precautions. Some misconceptions in the new industry can shed light onto why that is. Some people brush off the importance of the soil quality where hemp is grown. Yes, hemp is like a toxins sponge, but it’s really just the roots that soak up the bad stuff. While that’s not at all true, it’s worth noting that sustainable brands use every part of the plant and need cohesive quality. Is any part of the plant usable? A study done on the quality of hemp planted in contaminated soil admits that the leaves are contaminated. But right after that, they claim the bud is clean... But fail to provide any evidence to back their claim up.8 Considering the recalls and unconfirmed claims, it’s easy to be completely skeptical of the industry. The industry is growing fast, and many big companies may be irresponsibly looking for the cheapest deal instead of the safest choice for their customers. It comes down to this.Contaminated soil grows contaminated hemp. And if that contaminated hemp is processed into CBD oil, it’s going to be extremely concentrated. Now, think about putting a super-concentrated CBD oil from hemp planted in soil with high levels of arsenic or lead, onto your skin or under your tongue—that’s an intense dose of toxins. If you’re putting a CBD cream on your back for menstrual cramps, the last thing you want on top of that is inflammation and hives. And over time, you don’t want the thing that was supposed to help you to be silently cultivating more serious issues. It comes down to this—soil quality matters. How can I figure out what companies are selling non-toxic CBD oil products?Luckily, you don’t have to be paranoid and throw out all of your CBD or hemp-based products. Since the hemp industry is new in America, it’s understandable that there are mistakes. Fortunately, many European countries have been a reliable source of hemp and CBD. Europe has been growing hemp far longer than America has and has fields of healthy, uncontaminated crops that have been around for years. Their ideal climate and years of experience yields them a much higher-quality crop than we can get in the U.S. And because of their less strict regulations, their hemp is purer and free of many pesticides used in America. You can read up on the history of the European Hemp Industry9 to learn more. Finding Quality CBD Products Hemp is too precious of a plant to be unsure about. When it’s pure, it has amazing benefits like nothing else. That’s why we at CBD+nature source our hemp from Europe.
