Glossary

The proportion of a substance that enters your bloodstream and produces an active effect. Different delivery methods (sublingual, oral, topical, inhalation) have different bioavailability rates. Nano-encapsulated products like beeZbee's THC beverages are designed for higher bioavailability.

A hemp extract that contains multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial plant compounds, but with THC completely removed. Broad spectrum products offer some entourage effect benefits without any risk of THC consumption. beeZbee's THC-Free product line uses broad spectrum extracts.

A class of chemical compounds that interact with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). There are over 100 known cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. The most commonly referenced include CBD, THC, CBN, CBG, and CBC. beeZbee products feature a variety of cannabinoids, explore them in our full product lineup.

Cannabinoid receptors found primarily in the brain and central nervous system. THC binds directly to CB1 receptors, which is why it produces psychoactive effects. CBD does not bind strongly to CB1 receptors, which is why it is non-intoxicating.

Cannabinoid receptors found mainly in the immune system and peripheral organs. CB2 receptors play a role in managing inflammation and immune response. Many cannabinoids, including CBD and CBG, interact with CB2 receptors.

A non-intoxicating minor cannabinoid that may support mood, reduce stress, and promote overall wellness. CBC is believed to work synergistically with other cannabinoids through the entourage effect. beeZbee offers CBC products including CBD+CBC tinctures.

The most abundant non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in hemp. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system and is commonly used for relaxation, stress relief, and general wellness. It does not produce a "high." beeZbee's CBD collection includes gummies, tinctures, topicals, and more.

Often called the "mother cannabinoid" because other cannabinoids are derived from its acidic form (CBGA). CBG is non-intoxicating and is being studied for potential benefits related to focus, mood, and digestive health. Explore beeZbee's CBG products.

A mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that forms as THC ages and oxidizes. CBN is most commonly associated with sleep support and relaxation. beeZbee's CBN products are designed to help with restful sleep.

A document from an independent, third-party laboratory that verifies the cannabinoid content, potency, and purity of a product. COAs confirm that products are free of pesticides, heavy metals, and residual solvents. View beeZbee's COAs on our Test Results page.

A clean extraction method that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull cannabinoids and terpenes from hemp plant material. CO₂ extraction is considered one of the safest and most efficient methods, producing a pure extract without residual solvents.

A natural process in which heat changes the chemical structure of raw cannabinoid acids found in hemp. It occurs when cannabis is smoked or vaped, and is also applied during the manufacturing of edibles and tinctures.

A naturally occurring cannabinoid that is chemically similar to Delta-9 THC but with milder psychoactive effects. Many users describe Delta-8 as providing a clearer, less anxious experience. beeZbee offers Delta-8 THC products including cartridges, pre-rolls, and topicals.

The primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight are federally legal. beeZbee's Delta-9 THC products are Farm Bill compliant.

A highly purified cannabis extract that has been distilled to isolate specific cannabinoids. Distillate is typically clear to amber in color and contains very high concentrations of a target cannabinoid (often 80–95%+). It's used as a base ingredient in many edibles, vapes, and tinctures.

Any food or drink product infused with cannabinoids. Common edibles include gummies, chocolates, lollipops, and beverages. Effects from edibles typically take 30–90 minutes to onset and last longer than inhalation methods. Browse beeZbee's edible collection.

A complex cell-signaling system found in all mammals that helps regulate sleep, mood, appetite, memory, immune function, and pain. The ECS consists of endocannabinoids (produced naturally by your body), receptors (CB1 and CB2), and enzymes. Plant-derived cannabinoids interact with this system.

The theory that cannabinoids, terpenes, and other hemp compounds work better together than in isolation. Full spectrum products are designed to leverage the entourage effect by preserving the plant's natural chemical profile.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, which federally legalized hemp and hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. This legislation is the legal foundation for the entire hemp-derived CBD and THC industry. All beeZbee products are Farm Bill compliant.

A hemp extract that contains the full range of naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other beneficial compounds, including trace amounts of THC (under 0.3%). Full spectrum products are believed to produce the strongest entourage effect. beeZbee's full spectrum products are labeled as such on each product page.

A set of quality assurance guidelines that ensure products are consistently produced and controlled to quality standards. GMP-certified facilities follow strict protocols for cleanliness, equipment maintenance, staff training, and record keeping.

A variety of the Cannabis sativa plant that contains 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Hemp is the source of CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, and other legal cannabinoids. All beeZbee products are made from U.S.-grown hemp sourced from trusted farms.

A hydrogenated form of THC that occurs naturally in cannabis in very small amounts. HHC is known for its stability and long shelf life. Effects are generally described as somewhere between Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC.

One of the primary cannabis strain categories, traditionally associated with relaxing, body-focused effects. Indica strains are often recommended for evening or nighttime use. beeZbee's vape cartridges and pre-rolls are available in indica, sativa, and hybrid options.

The purest form of a single cannabinoid, typically 99%+ pure. CBD isolate, for example, contains only CBD with no other cannabinoids, terpenes, or plant materials. Isolate products are ideal for those who want zero THC and a single targeted cannabinoid.

Medium-chain triglyceride oil, commonly derived from coconut oil. MCT oil is frequently used as a carrier oil in CBD tinctures because it improves the absorption of cannabinoids and has a neutral taste. beeZbee tinctures use MCT oil as a base.

The standard unit of measurement for cannabinoid content in products. When a product label says "300mg CBD," it means the total package contains 300 milligrams of CBD. Divide by the number of servings to find the per-serving dose.

A technology that breaks cannabinoid particles into extremely small sizes (nanometers) and wraps them in a water-compatible coating. This dramatically increases bioavailability, allowing faster onset times (10–20 minutes vs 30–60 for standard edibles). beeZbee's THC beverages and drink infusers use nano-encapsulated cannabinoids.

Hemp grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. While the USDA does not currently have a specific organic certification for hemp-derived cannabinoid products, many producers (including beeZbee) source from farms that follow organic growing practices.

The concentration or strength of cannabinoids in a product, typically expressed in milligrams (mg). Higher potency products contain more cannabinoids per serving. Potency is verified through third-party lab testing and listed on every beeZbee product's Certificate of Analysis.

A pre-made, ready-to-smoke hemp joint. Pre-rolls typically contain ground hemp flower infused with cannabinoid extracts. beeZbee's pre-rolls contain CBD + Delta-8 THC and come sealed in airtight containers for freshness.

One of the primary cannabis strain categories, traditionally associated with energizing, uplifting, and cerebral effects. Sativa strains are often recommended for daytime use. Available in beeZbee's vape cartridge lineup.

A method of administration where a substance is placed under the tongue and absorbed through the mucous membranes directly into the bloodstream. Sublingual absorption bypasses the digestive system, resulting in faster onset times. Tinctures and lollipops both benefit from sublingual absorption.

Aromatic organic compounds found in many plants, including cannabis. Terpenes give different cannabis strains their distinct flavors and aromas (citrus, pine, lavender, etc.) and are believed to contribute to the entourage effect. beeZbee's lollipops and vape cartridges feature strain-specific terpene profiles.

The raw, non-intoxicating acid form found in live hemp flower. Naturally occurring and prized for premium flower quality. beeZbee offers THCA cartridges.

Products formulated with broad spectrum or isolate extracts that contain no detectable THC. THC-Free products are ideal for individuals who undergo drug testing or prefer to avoid THC entirely. beeZbee labels THC-Free products clearly on packaging and product pages.

Independent laboratory analysis conducted by a lab that has no affiliation with the product manufacturer. Third-party testing ensures unbiased verification of cannabinoid content, potency, and the absence of contaminants. Every beeZbee product is third-party tested, view results on our Test Results page.

A liquid extract typically administered sublingually (under the tongue) using a dropper. Tinctures usually combine a cannabinoid extract with a carrier oil like MCT oil. They allow precise dosing and relatively fast absorption. Browse beeZbee's tincture collection.

A cream, balm, lotion, or salve infused with cannabinoids that is applied directly to the skin. Topicals target localized areas for relief without entering the bloodstream, meaning they don't produce psychoactive effects. beeZbee's pain creams combine CBD + Delta-8 THC for targeted relief.

A pre-filled cartridge containing cannabinoid extract (often distillate plus terpenes) designed for use with a compatible battery. Vaping provides the fastest onset time of any delivery method (typically 5–10 minutes). beeZbee's cartridges use a standard 510-thread connection.
