NATURALPES CHRISTMAS

In 2016, Switzerland authorized the production, sale and consumption of hemp containing less than 1% THC (see Narcotics Law, LStup). A new type of cannabis genetics has been developed by researchers working for many years to reduce its presence in the plant and maximize its CBD content. The result is a plant that produces flowers containing less than 1% of the psychoactive substance, making it legal under Swiss law. All Naturalpes products are manufactured in accordance with the legal standards of Swiss law. However, in order to meet European standards, Naturalpes offers specially designed flowers with a THC content of less than 0.3%, which you can order directly from the site for sale in Europe.

"Hemp (sativa or indica) contains more than 80 cannabinoids which, in terms of their chemical structure, are terpene-phenols and exist only in the cannabis plant. The cannabinoids contained in the plant are mainly in the form of carboxylic acids. The main and most sought-after cannabinoid is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), responsible for the psychotropic effect of cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another important cannabinoid, present in large quantities in the plant, but which, unlike its cousin, has no psychotropic effect. It interacts with various receptors, reducing the psychotropic effect. From a therapeutic point of view, it could have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antiemetic, anxiolytic, hypnotic or antipsychotic effects."

It's the best-known and most abundant cannabinoid in cannabis, the exact name being delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol. This cannabinoid is responsible for the main psychoactive effect experienced when consuming cannabis, stimulating parts of the brain and causing the release of dopamine, resulting in a feeling of euphoria and well-being.

Items from Naturalpes have a low THC content (never exceeding 1%), so they have no psychotropic effect. On the other hand, they contain a very high CBD content, which enables them to act differently on the human body than recreational cannabis.

Naturalpes has set up a delivery system using the services of the Swiss Post Office. We guarantee secure shipment of your items within a maximum of 48 hours once the order has been placed and validated for Switzerland. For Europe, delivery takes 2 to 10 days. Orders placed before 3pm will be dispatched the same day and will usually arrive in your mailbox the following day.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound extracted from hemp, a variety of the cannabis plant. It is generally extracted using methods such as CO2 or ethanol extraction, which preserve the purity of CBD while eliminating impurities. CBD is valued for its soothing and relaxing effects, without the psychoactive effects of THC.

No, CBD won't give you a "high" because it doesn't contain THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. CBD is appreciated for its relaxing effects, which help to soothe the mind and body, without impairing your mental or physical abilities. This means you can use it in complete tranquillity, at any time of day.

There's a wide range of CBD products, each offering a unique method of administration. You'll find oils, creams and infusions. Each of these products is designed to meet specific needs, from relaxation to general well-being.

The amount of CBD to consume depends on your personal needs. It's generally advisable to start with a low dose, then gradually adjust. The aim is to find the dosage that suits you best to get the most out of CBD.

CBD can be safely used daily by most users, especially when used as part of a wellness routine. However, it is advisable to start with small doses. That way, you can adjust the dosage.

Yes, CBD can be used to complement other wellness products such as dietary supplements, topical creams, or essential oils. It is often integrated into existing routines to reinforce a holistic approach to wellness. Nevertheless, it's always a good idea to check that CBD is compatible with other products you're using.

The time required for CBD to take effect depends on the method of use. For example, CBD oils can take effect in 15 to 30 minutes, while other uses can take up to an hour or more. Action can also vary according to your metabolism and the quantity used.

Full-spectrum CBD contains all the cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds naturally present in the hemp plant, including traces of THC. Broad-spectrum CBD is similar, but without THC. CBD isolate, on the other hand, is pure CBD, with no other compounds. Each of these options offers a different experience, depending on your preferences and needs.

Yes, there are CBD-specific products for pets, such as oils formulated especially for them. These products are designed to help pets relax and improve their general well-being. However, you should choose products suited to your pet's size and weight, and consult a veterinarian if you have any doubts.

Hemp and cannabis are two varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant, but they are grown for different purposes. Hemp is generally used for its fibers, seeds and CBD extracts, as it contains very little CBD and other cannabinoids. Cannabis, on the other hand, is often grown for its flowers, which are rich in CBD or THC, the psychoactive compound for the various uses.

Yes, hemp and cannabis come from the same plant species, Cannabis sativa, but they are grown and used differently. Hemp is mainly used for industrial applications, and for CBD production, while cannabis is cultivated for its CBD- or THC-rich flowers, depending on the use.

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for its "high" effects. CBD, on the other hand, has no psychoactive effect and is often used for its wellness properties. Both compounds come from the same plant, but interact differently with the human body, offering distinct experiences.

Some people prefer CBD to THC because CBD offers soothing effects without impairing cognitive function or causing a "high". CBD is often chosen by those seeking a wellness experience that can be easily integrated into daily life, without the harmful impacts.

In Switzerland, only CBD cannabis is legal to cultivate, while THC is also legal, but only under strict (pharmaceutical) conditions. Cultivated CBD cannabis must contain less than 1% THC. The cultivation of cannabis for recreational purposes or with a THC content of over 1% is still prohibited by law in Switzerland, as it is considered to be the cultivation of narcotics.

The entourage effect is a concept whereby cannabinoids, terpenes and other cannabis compounds work together to create a more balanced and complete action. For example, CBD could modulate the effects of THC and vice versa, offering a more harmonious experience. This effect is particularly sought after in Full spectrum products (RAW or GOLD).

Medical cannabis is regulated in Switzerland and is only available in a medical setting, under prescription. This application is reserved for certain patients suffering from specific conditions, and the products used often contain controlled levels of THC and CBD.

Cannabis strains are generally classified into three categories: Indica, Sativa and hybrids. Indica is often associated with relaxing actions, ideal for evening use, while Sativa is renowned for its energizing actions, promoting creativity and concentration. Hybrids combine characteristics of both, offering a balance between relaxation and stimulation.

Recreational use of cannabis THC can carry risks, including dependence, anxiety disorders, and impacts on memory or concentration. It's important to use cannabis responsibly, and to be aware of the laws in force in your country. In Switzerland, recreational use of cannabis containing THC is illegal.

Some people use cannabis-derived products, such as those containing CBD, to promote their general well-being. These products are often chosen for their good effects, without the psychoactive effects of THC. However, it is essential to choose good-quality, legal products that comply with local legislation.

A broad-spectrum extract is a product that contains a wide range of cannabinoids and terpenes, but without THC. Unlike a full-spectrum extract, which includes small amounts of THC, a broad-spectrum extract is ideal for those who want to enjoy the combined benefits of the plant's various compounds while avoiding THC. This makes it possible to explore the effects of balanced, natural consumption.

CBDA, or cannabidiolic acid, is the unheated form of CBD found naturally in hemp. Before being converted to CBD, CBDA remains in this acidic form. It is often found in raw or unheated hemp-based products. When transformed by heat, CBDA becomes CBD, offering a gentle, unadulterated approach to CBD cannabis consumption.

Decarboxylation is a process whereby heat transforms the cannabinoids present in hemp into their active forms. For example, CBDA becomes CBD when heated. This process is essential to activate certain components of the plant, enabling us to take full advantage of its properties. This is why it is so important in the preparation of hemp-derived products.

CBG, or cannabigerol, is often referred to as the "mother cannabinoid", as it is responsible for the formation of other cannabinoids such as CBD and THC in the cannabis plant. Although less well-known than CBD, CBG is increasingly being explored for its unique properties. It represents a different facet of hemp, offering a varied and complementary experience to that of CBD.

Flavonoids are natural compounds found in a wide variety of plants, including hemp. They contribute to the color, taste and aroma of plants, while also playing a role in their natural protection. In hemp, flavonoids complement the overall effect of other compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes, enriching the sensory experience and overall well-being.

A single-spectrum product is composed of a single pure cannabinoid, such as CBD, with no other hemp components. This means it contains no THC, terpenes or other cannabinoids. This is the purest form of CBD, ideal for those who want to enjoy the benefits of hemp without the effects of other compounds. Single spectrum products are often chosen for their simplicity and purity.

Hemp oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant, and is often used for its richness in essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 and omega-6. Unlike CBD-rich oils, hemp oil does not contain cannabinoids such as CBD or THC, but it is appreciated for its nutritional virtues.

THC-COOH is a metabolite produced by the body when it breaks down THC after consumption. It is often detected in drug tests, as it remains in the body much longer than THC itself. Understanding THC-COOH is important for those who consume cannabis products, especially if they are subject to regular testing.

THCV, or tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a cannabinoid found in certain varieties of cannabis. Although similar to THC, it is unique in its potential effects, which can vary from a different sensation to appetite modulation. THCV is increasingly being explored for its distinct properties, offering a new dimension to hemp-based products.
