English name: Cannabidiol (abbreviated as CBD)
Properties: Light yellow resin or crystals
Brief description.
Cannabidiol (hereinafter referred to as CBD) is the main chemical component of the medicinal plant cannabis, extracted from the female cannabis plant, is a non-addictive component of cannabis.
The properties of cannabis D products are mainly caused by tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), while the opposite of cannabidiol (CBD) is not addictive, but also can effectively eliminate the hallucinogenic effects of THC on the body, known as the “anti-drug compounds. Since 1940, CBD was first isolated, and by 1967, the stereological structure and crystal structure were determined.
1, the source of CBD – cannabis
CBD (cannabidiol) is obtained from cannabis.
And cannabis, is
Industrial hemp
Medical marijuana
recreational marijuana unified name! But more people use cannabis to refer to marijuana!
First, industrial hemp: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) (the psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, with psychotropic effects) less than 0.3% of the cannabis without other psychoactive ingredients!
(The above is the EU unified standards, there are other countries industrial hemp THC less than 0.2% standard, such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Sweden)
Second, medical marijuana (madical marijuana): THC content between 0.3% and 0.5%, the psychoactive component is lower.
(The above is also the EU standard, higher than 0.5% psychoactive higher, there is a tendency to abuse)
Third, recreational marijuana: many people say cannabis means this, also called drug marijuana, THC content higher than 0.5%, there is a tendency to abuse. In recreational marijuana the THC content can be as high as 30%!
They also have different plants.
Industrial hemp plants are tall and can reach three meters, recreational hemp is short and fat!
Looking at the leaves, recreational hemp grows wide and close to the buds, while industrial hemp grows thin and narrow basically at the top of the plant.
THC content is an important marker to distinguish industrial hemp from recreational hemp.
Industrial hemp, mostly grown in the field, can adapt to a variety of climatic conditions growth cycle 108-120 days, plant spacing 10cm; recreational hemp, mostly grown in greenhouses, need to carefully control the temperature, humidity, light growth cycle 60-90 days, plant spacing 1.8 meters.
To sum up: industrial hemp CBD content is low, recreational hemp CBD content is high.
2, cannabidiol (CBD) is legal?
CBD is only fully legal in Canada and is readily available in most parts of the United States, although its exact legal status is always changing. It is legal in parts of other countries.
All 50 U.S. states have laws legalizing CBD, with varying degrees of restriction. in December 2015, the FDA relaxed regulatory requirements to allow researchers to conduct CBD trials. in 2018, the farm bill legalized hemp in the U.S., making it nearly impossible to keep CBD illegal-it’s like making oranges legal, but making orange juice illegal. but making orange juice illegal. Also, CBD is not covered by the UN drug control treaties.
Thailand January 22 2021
In 2019, Thailand became the first Southeast Asian country to legalize the medical use of cannabis;
In 2020, the Thai FDA amended the definition of Category 5 narcotics, to permit the use of certain parts of cannabis plants (among other `narcotics’) to develop medical cannabis and hemp products and for research purposes;
In 2021, additional regulations were released for the purpose of issuing permits related to hemp cultivation and use;
Thai authorities continue to consider abolishing prohibitions limiting production of cannabis and hemp products to government entities, allowing private companies to produce medical cannabis and hemp products; and
Amendments have yet been introduced to legalize modern CBD pharmaceutical operations (Thai cannabis regulations only apply to Thai traditional medicines, herbal use and research).
3, the application and market value of cannabidiol (CBD)
3.1 Medical
The application of CBD in the medical field is mainly based on its protective effect on the nervous system. It is genetically stable, good pharmacokinetic properties, scientists through the continuous modification of CBD structure, the synthesis of a series of CBD analogues, these analogues have different pharmacological activities, can act in different diseases.
Such as pain and anti-inflammatory, anti-epileptic, anti-anxiety, anti-insomnia and other aspects of CBD can play a role.In June 2018 the U.S. FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved Epidiolex for sale in the United States for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome in patients aged 2 years and older, which is also the U.S. FDA currently approved of the only legal CBD drug.
According to GW’s earnings report, in 2019, Epidiolex had first quarter sales of $33.5 million, second quarter sales of $68.4 million, third quarter sales of $86.1 million and fourth quarter sales of $104.5 million. Full-year sales for the first year were nearly $300 million.
3.2 Skin Care
CBD prevents and eliminates acne, controls oil production and eliminates skin inflammation, relieves pain when used while reducing swelling, making it a “helper” in helping to treat skin scars, rashes, dry skin and more serious skin conditions. CBD is a more effective antioxidant than vitamin C or E. It can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and slow down skin aging.
CBD, a new ingredient and category in the beauty field, sprouted from late 2018 and grew rapidly after 2019, with more and more beauty brands starting to launch their own CBD product lines, including skin creams, lotions, serums, soaps, sunscreens, hair care products, etc.
In October 2018, SEPHORA, known as the “global cosmetics retail authority”, launched Lord Jones’ CBD lotion in its stores, and CBD skin care products were once on Sephora’s best-seller list. As we enter 2019, major mainstream retailers are embracing CBD skin care products.
Jefferies analysts predict that from 2019-2029, global CBD beauty products alone could reach $25 billion and will account for 15% of the overall skincare market. Future Market Insights believes that from 2019-2027, global CBD skincare sales will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 33.4% .
3.3 Others
CBD is also used in oral care products. Studies have shown that CBD is used in oral care and has excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, reducing gum swelling and eliminating bacteria that cause infections, and has great potential in fighting oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
CBD is also used as a “massage cream” product for pain relief. Studies have shown that CBD is a natural and safe pain reliever with no side effects and is effective in relieving knee pain, shoulder pain, headaches, joint pain, muscle aches and pains, etc.
CBD has many health care benefits, and the food and beverage industry has opened up the “CBD+” model, adding CBD to functional food and beverages, often used to help people manage stress, relieve anxiety, improve depression, help relax, improve sleep, etc..
CBD foods are mainly focused on oils/tinctures, candies (mainly fudge), cookies and cakes. The development of functional beverages using CBD ingredients is also a new trend in the market.
Zenith Global, a global food and beverage consulting firm, forecasts that the CBD beverage market in the U.S. will grow to $1.4 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 74.7% from 2018 to 2023.In December 2019, Fluent Beverages announced the launch of a non-alcoholic CBD tea drink called Everie in Canada.
CBD is used in the pet sector, mainly in “pet food,” “pet pharmaceuticals” and “pet care products. CBD-containing pet food, such as cookies, jerky, canned food, can be used to improve pet anxiety, inflammation, pain, etc.; CBD has the potential to treat pet epilepsy, depression, osteoarthritis, eye disease, and even some specific cancer, can be used to develop CBD pet drugs; CBD has a very good anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, can be used to develop CBD toiletries.

Molecular distillation is a special liquid-liquid separation technology, different from traditional distillation based on the principle of separation of substances by boiling point difference, but based on the difference in the average free range of molecular motion of each substance in the mixture to achieve separation. In an ideal state, the liquid mixture is heated along the heating plate, and the light and heavy molecules will escape from the liquid surface and enter the gas phase. Since the free range of the light and heavy molecules is different, the molecules of different substances move at different distances after escaping from the liquid surface, and if a condensation plate is properly set up, the light molecules will reach the condensation plate and be condensed and discharged, while the heavy molecules will not reach the condensation plate and be discharged along the mixture. In this way, the purpose of separating substances can be achieved. According to this principle, people have designed various evaporators such as falling film type, centrifugal type, scraping film type, etc. In actual operation, it is difficult to achieve ideal molecular distillation and separation purpose due to various conditions, and various evaporators have a common characteristic that the distance between evaporating surface and condensing surface is very short, and the molecules overflowing from evaporating surface to condensing into liquid experience a very short trip, so it is also called short-range distiller, short-range evaporator.
Crystallization tank is mainly used for the crystallization of liquid materials in the pharmaceutical, food, chemical, biological products and other industries (through physical methods such as cooling to make the saturated solution of a certain solution to reach a state of supersaturation to form crystals precipitation), separation.
