Welcome to Artistic Organics -FAQ

Below are commonly asked questions about our business and the industry.  We love to share info along with links to information we think is valuable. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.

At Artistic Organics, we believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. We take a holistic approach to health and wellness, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.


We  must first preface any answer to this question by saying we are not  lawyers nor doctors and cannot provide legal or medical advice.

The answer is: ‘Yes you will test positive on a drug test’. (Each individual employer is different, so ask your employer)


 Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are two of many (over  200) cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. CBD is the most abundant  non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis and is being  scientifically investigated for numerous reasons. Most people have heard  of a cannabinoid called THC, which gets users high. Unlike THC, CBD is a  non-psychoactive cannabinoid and does not cause a high.


 

Both hemp and marijuana come from the same plant, Cannabis.

As of 1994 the US government defined hemp as the cannabis plant with less than .3 % THC. (https://nifa.usda.gov/industrial-hemp), thus Marijuana is a plant with over .3% THC. 

Hemp  has long been used for the industrial production of items such as  clothing and rope. It is popular as a cooking oil, superfood (hemp  seeds) and in many beauty products.

Low THC (< .3%) is the single difference most rely on to distinguish industrial hemp from marijuana.

In general, today, it is the THC level that defines the difference between hemp and marijuana.

Marijuana is not legal federally, but in some states it is legal, whereas hemp is federally legal in all states.

Therefore,  since marijuana is not legal in Texas (for example), products in Texas  can only be made from hemp.  In Colorado (for example) products can be  made from both hemp and marijuana since marijuana is both medically and  recreationally legal.


 

The  Endocannabinoid System, named after the plant that led to its  discovery, and the receptors are found throughout the body: in the  brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each  tissue, the endocannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the  goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable  internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.

As  we continue to sort through the emerging science of cannabis and  cannabinoids, one thing remains clear: a functional endocannabinoid  system is essential for health.

This fantastic podcast series explains the cannabis plant and how it  works on the ECS in the body.    The human body is constantly changing  and its important for the communication between cells to work  efficiently, especially regarding chronic conditions.  There are a range  of podcasts on various chronic conditions and various ailments.

The podcasts can be accessed on Stitcher 


 

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is the regulation system in your body (For more info on the ECS, take a look at this article from Leafly on how the system plays a critical role in the body.)  This system is  directly affected by the cannabis plant and it’s molecules such as CBD,  THC, HHC, THCO, etc.

Like any body function, it needs stimulation.  “ECS does well with similar stimuli that create a short-term strong production of cannabinoids, like exercise”.    So, this leads to the question of : What other stimuli can cause an  increase?  Would orgasms increase the body’s production of  cannabinoids?  The answer is ‘yes’.  As the article states they are a  ‘double-whammy’ for training the ECS.

“Sex [with orgasm] is the  double-whammy for sure. It’s a triple or quadruple whammy. It involves  touch. In animals, touch and social grooming are strong ways to  stimulate endocannabinoid release. I think many people don’t have enough  social grooming activities or physically touch each other on a daily  basis, but feel better when they do.”, stated Dr Sulak, who is a premier  authority on the cannabis plant.

Dr Wilson-King suggests that multiple orgasms for women are best and Dr Sulak suggests delayed orgasms in men.

Dr.  Sulak elaborates, saying “I really want to encourage people to not feel  like they need a partner to achieve the health benefits. So many people  think, what am I going to do right now? Oh, I’ll either jog or maybe  I’ll meditate or something. And the idea of a sexual health practice  probably doesn’t even occur to most of the readers.”

As with any  system in the body, repeated and often exercise is important.  Daily  orgasms are suggested.  So the next time you think about taking care of  your body, consider exercising your ECS!  Have fun!!

Cannabis to Enhance Sex

Research has shown the moderate amounts of the cannabis plant can enhance sex.   Artistic Organics carries several products made to stimulate the  ‘senses’.  You’ll find us mention ‘sensory stimulation’ when we describe  products.  Taste, Touch, Smell… basically all of the senses become  heightened, which can increase pleasure.  Each person will have their  own personal preference, so Contact Us and we will be happy to recommend products.


 

If you read only one FAQ, please read this one

This  Cannabis industry is like a roller-coaster. Creative marketing is  everywhere. There are no regulations on wording, any manufacturer can  use any wording. They are all competing to gather market share because  demand from consumers is so high. You hear crazy stories of miracle  healing on late night TV. People who the traditional medical industry  can’t help are finding hope. So let’s take a step back and look at how a  consumer should approach the industry.

Ignore the hype. Let’s set  some realistic expectations…. This is plant-based medicine. It probably  won’t work like ‘popping a pill’. Most consumers try 3-4 products  before they find one that works for them.
These are our suggestions on how to swim through this confusion?

1  – Read the online reviews about a business. Are there any reviews from  people that state it didn’t work for them? That’s good because you know  the company posts all reviews, not just the good ones.

2 – The  industry has very little regulation, therefore it is up to the consumer  to make sure the product is clean, contains what is on the label and has  no solvents or pesticides. Ignore the marketing, look at the lab  results. The products are made from a plant that works on nerves and  cells at a cellular level, and you don’t want any toxic items! When  reviewing a company, do they have labs with actual values next to each  item tested? Did you know that if you see “NT” as a lab value it means  Not Tested? Read the fine print. Manufacturers will post labs with a  long list of NT, and state…” Look we tested our product”.

3-  Understand that this plant brings the body into homeostasis. That means  each part of the body tries to come to a level or stable state of  equilibrium. It doesn’t mask conditions, it adjusts body function to  what it should be. People notice the “absence” of their issues. This  doesn’t happen overnight, after all, it took your body years to get  these issues. Research suggests 3-4 weeks is typical, with some  conditions changing sooner and some much later. This is especially true  for deep / chronic issues.

4- So, after you’ve read reviews,  looked at the labs/talked to the store, and have realistic time  expectations…. buy enough product to test for 30 days and start at a  very low dose, typically 5-10mg. Then adjust the dosage up every few  days. Pay attention…are you less forgetful? Is your pain less? Are you  suddenly more engaged with life? Do you sleep better? Is your digestive  system calmer? Pay attention to your body. Don’t be surprised if, for  example, you got the product for your back pain and you notice you  remember where you put your keys more often. Look at the various issues  with your body. Pay attention to what “disappears” and “gets better”.   The body will decide what it wants to balance and each ‘issue’ you have  may balance one at a time.

5 – It is highly recommended to have a  partnership with a medical professional or pharmacist. Products can  interact with Rx medications and other supplements.  Share your  experiences with them. Plus share your excitement at your successes.  Your experience could help another patient! Nothing is better than  knowing your story has helped others.

6 – Enjoy the experience….as  you heal you may have a wild and crazy story of your own. Tell your  friends and share your story, but let people know realistic  expectations.

Share your review.  It helps others.  If you feel we’ve been helpful, please post a review:  https://g.page/ArtisticOrganicsFrisco


Here at Artistic Organics we love to do research and share fun  information with you.  Ever wondered how people consumed cannabis a long  time ago? How did they make a Traditional Cannabis Medicine Recipe?  We  know the plant was added to over 75% of medicines in the 1800’s because  it helps make plant based medicine work better.  Over a century ago  they didn’t have pharmaceuticals and medicine was mostly plant based.   So, lets go back over 100 years.   Sure they rolled the flower into  joints and smoked them, but there are other ways to ingest the plant  without smoking.   So, for fun, I went in search of traditional recipes  to try.

After much digging into old methods and over a year of  testing various recipes I’ve got one to share with you.   I wanted  to  preserve the old time methods, but still make a very potent product you  can easily make yourself. The plus side of this recipe is it’s easy,  inexpensive, fun to make and I’ve found this method makes more usable  product than smoking hand-rolls, so its very cost effective.  The down  side is it takes time as the product needs to sit.

A side note  with a bit of science and history….  The plant, in its raw form, has  molecules that are Acids.  You may have seen CBD and CBDA, THC and  THCA.  The ‘A’ is the raw Acid in the growing plant.  Once that ‘Acid’  is converted, usually via heat Decarboxylation ,  the molecule looses the ‘A’ and becomes CBD or THC, for example. Then  these molecules need to be pulled from the plant so we can absorb them.   The simplest/oldest method is to apply heat to the dried plant, in the  form of fire to decarboxylate, and inhale the smoke to absorb it.  But  smoking isn’t the only way to absorb the molecules…. there are other  methods such as alcohol and freezing that also pull the molecules from  the plant without using fire.  These methods have been around for  hundreds of years and was easily accessible to everyone.   I combined  all of these methods to pull as much as possible from the plant in an  easy to absorb, non smoking recipe. (As a note… decarboxylation is the  first step in making edibles.  I’ll add a note at the bottom about  edibles)

Most of the equipment you already have and you only need 1  ingredient… other than your favorite flower.  So, lets get to the fun  part….  a Traditional Cannabis Medicine Recipe….  (I’ll add lots of  notes throughout the recipe)

Ingredients:

7gm of your favorite flower

Everclear or the strongest indigestible % alcohol allowed in your state.

(Brandy  and Vodka work too, but you loose a good % of the plant because of the  lower alcohol %, so its worth a trip to the store if Everclear is  available to you )

Tools:

Glass jar

(I prefer a 1/2 pint or jelly size mason jar with the lid)

Gram scale, unless you already have your flower weighed out

Decarboxilator or your oven

Measuring cup

Grinder

Directions

1. Weigh out your favorite flower to equal 7 grams.  Break the buds up into small pieces, don’t grind it yet.

2.  The flower needs to be decarboxilated.  This means it is heated to  convert the cannabinoids into a form that is more usable by the body.  (This is why eating the raw plant has a different effect vs. heating  it)  You can buy a decarboxilator such as the Lyft, which is a little  oven, the size of a coffee grinder.  It roasts the plant without any  smell and can preserve up to 30% more of the cannabinoids vs other  methods.  (It is a bit pricy, but it pays for itself if you want to make  edibles or dry any herb.)

If  you want to decarboxilate in your oven, just put your flower in a jar  and cover it with a loose fitting lid or just pile it on a cookie  sheet.  Bake it for 1 hour at a temperature of 300 degrees.  An oven  thermometer is good for this because you don’t go above 300 as some  cannabinoids will burn off.  Be warned, this method does smell up your  kitchen!

The pieces of flower will turn an even golden brown  color.  It won’t look burnt, but all of the ‘green’ color will be gone.   Here’s an example of fresh from the jar flower  sitting above freshly  decarboxilated flower.

3.   Let your flower cool, then grind it and put it into the mason jar with  1/4 cp of everclear, or the strongest % alcohol you have. (I don’t  personally like to use a coffee grinder.  I prefer to hand grinding  finely.)

4.  Put it into your freezer and wait….. This is the hard part.

You’ll  notice it will change color over time.  It will be ready to try in  about 10 days.  Gently shake it each time you open the freezer.

The  product will continue to develop over several weeks.  I’ve found that  it becomes stronger over time and we enjoy it the most after about 8  weeks and it just keeps getting stronger for about 6 months. Its fun to  process a different strain every week or two, so you continually have a  new product to try.   The color will continue to darken into shades of  green and/or brown.  Different plant strains develop into either brown  or green hues.  Below are photos of different strains.

5.   You can use it straight from the freezer, or put it into a food safe  glass dropper bottle.  (Personally I like to keep the large jar in the  freezer and pour about 1-2 weeks worth of liquid out into a smaller  dropper bottle.)

A fun note… from a 7 gm jar you will usually get  between 5-7 hand rolled joints to smoke (depending upon how you roll).   Making this tincture recipe will get you several 1 oz jars of liquid  alcohol tincture, which will last you much longer than 7 joints.

I  suggest starting with 1/2-1 dropper of your home made alcohol  tincture.  Mix it with water or put into any drink.  You can put it  straight into your mouth, but remember this is made with everclear… and  its pretty harsh to take straight up.


 

Sea Salt Chocolate Bark

(Go through step 3 above in How To Make A Tincture, and decarboxylate your flower )

1.   Once you’ve decarboxylated your flower, store it in an airtight jar.   (It will last a week or two, so use it fairly quickly.)  You can grind  it finely into flour and put into any edible recipe. 1/8 cup is a good  amount to start with in a recipe.  Adjust as needed next time.

2.   I personally like to melt my favorite chocolate (8-12 oz) and as it  cools add the powdered flower along with a pinch of cinnamon and pour it  onto a parchment/foil lined cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with large chunked  sea salt.

Chocolate Nuts

1. Same as above

2.   Melt your favorite chocolate, add the ground flower, pour over your  favorite nuts and sprinkle with large chunked raw sugar.  Pour onto a  parchment/foil lined cookie sheet.

3.  Refrigerate for an hour.  Break it into pieces and store in an airtight jar.

Cupcakes

  1. Same as above

2. Make your favorite cupcake recipe. 

3  When you make your frosting, stir in the ground flower.  If you don’t  like the cannabis taste you may need to add a strong spice such as  cinnamon, orange, or rosemary to the frosting.

Kellie and Artistic Organics have been interviewed several times over the years to help educate on the cannabis plant and industry. A full list is at the bottom of the About Us page.


Throughout the year Kellie visits farms and manufactures.  Here is one such trip in Oregon.


 

One of Kellie’s Trips To Oregon:

Here at  Artistic Organics we do have very specific criteria for choosing top  quality products, but,  it’s the relationships we have with our farmers  that sets us apart.  We look for integrity and a caring passion for the  crops they grow and manufacture. 

Oregon is filled with beautiful  mountains and friendly people who have a passion for what they do.   Central Oregon is beautiful with mountains and valleys where all forms  of produce are grown.  The winters are cold and the same length as the  hot summers. The fields are fertile with plants and animals of all forms  and the people love what they do and want to share it with others.  These are factors that make Oregon one of the top cannabis production  states in the US

We,  here at Artistic Organics, love outdoor cultivated plants because they  are exposed to natural issues of wind, sun and pests.  These natural  growing conditions are a beautiful site to see …. rows of plants swaying  in the wind with insects, birds and wildlife among them! You can  imagine my excitement to meet with these people to expand our knowledge  and share with you a bit about my trip and plenty of photos!

I was  able to visit the farm who grows and blends our AO oil.  I walked  through each step of the process…. how each plant is started indoors in a  greenhouse, then transplanted outdoors in the late Spring and harvested  during a short window of time in October. Due to the dry summer weather  in Oregon, the fields are irrigated with drip lines and fertilizer is  100% organic made from natural substances in support of organic  practices.  No pesticides are used.  This means the strongest plants  survive. The farmers plan for this natural selection process.  They also  plant a careful selection of plants to help with particular symptoms.  An interesting note…. unlike other farmers, the plants are manually  harvested whole and dried naturally over the course of several days.  No  external heat is applied, nor is the process sped up.  This natural  process is unique because it isn’t rushed and its the way the plant has  been grown and harvested for 100’s of years.  These careful, natural  processes make our AO oil products truly unique and special.

In  contrast to fields with a few hundred plants I was able to travel to  visit with Gold Standard, which is a large farm who specializes in  organic flower. They don’t try to create a variety of products, instead  they excel at top quality dried flower of just a few strains. This farm  started a few years ago as small, family owned.  As word spread of their  quality and specialization, they have grown to thousands of plants and  ship throughout the US.  Even with their size and growth they use very  little modern technology and much of the work is done by hand.  They  took me on tours, answered my numerous questions, and were excited I  came to visit.  They really take pride in what they do and the love of  the industry comes out in every conversation.

To round out my  knowledge during the trip, I was also able to visit with an herbal  company who has been in business for years and specializes in creating  herbal blends with and without hemp.  I was introduced to the very old  concept of  combining herbs made from several types of non-hemp plants into a mix.   At first I thought it was a typical tea, but these blends can be smoked  or used in a tea.  I was excited to try the various blends and learn  about their small batch blending process.  The knowledge of herbalism is  a perfect companion to the hemp industry and we are excited to share  the effectiveness of these products with our customers.

One of the  highlights of the trip was a particularly special treat from a grower.   He has a friend who owns a high-end tea shop where the tea is custom  blended and served to customers.  There are hundreds of choices and I  was in for a very special surprise.  The owner uses the farmer’s hemp to  create hemp tea. I felt like a 5-year-old bouncing in my seat as the  owner explained the process he used to create our tea. I asked him for a  simple version I could share with all of you.

The tea was a fantastic treat and I wanted to share with you his suggested recipe:

Hemp Tea

½ gram hemp flower, ground medium

Full fat coconut or dairy cream

Honey to sweeten

Take  the ground flower and put it into a tea strainer.  Pour boiling water  over the hemp (hemp requires very hot water to steep).  Cover with a lid  and let steep 10 minutes. Add full-fat coconut or dairy. (The fat is  needed for better absorption.)  Stir in a bit of honey to sweeten if  desired.

I’ve had hemp tea before, but I was very surprised at the almost immediate effect of the tea after a few sips.

As  a note….. tea, is prepared at around 200 degrees.  This temperature  pulls out many of the cannabinoids and terpenes, but isn’t hot enough to  burn them off (which happens around 350-400 degrees)

The whole  trip was fun and educational as I learned about each of these farmers  and how they specialize in what they do.  I was extremely impressed with  the quality of the farms and the integrity of the people.  We, here at  Artistic Organics, are excited to bring products from such crafters into  our store.

Visiting Farmers in Maine for Artistic Organics 

Guest post from Ed Mahoney.

When  Artistic Organics decided to embrace the CBD industry, they knew from  the very beginning they wanted to do something special.    The goal was  to make a positive impact on people’s health and educate at the consumer  level far beyond what is found in the current market. There is so much  not known in the industry, and even more so, a tremendous amount of  misinformation. This can be counterproductive in an exploding industry  where many people look to the internet for answers.

Research  should begin at the source of all products, as it’s one of the best ways  to understand the plant and know directly where products come from.  American hemp farmers are probably one of the most educated sources on  hemp around. Their knowledge of everything from seeds and soil to  watering and flowering comes from generations of farmers. Therefore,  when Artistic Organics decided to start touring farms around the  country, you can imagine the excitement I felt when asked to interview  and rub elbows with the true cultivators of the industry, where the US  cannabis market was created… the East Coast. Historically, you will hear  about farms in Oregon, California, and Colorado the most. In fact, this  is where some of the most popular cannabis products come from. However,  since I was from the New England area, I wanted to see if there were  any secrets out in my old kicking grounds that I could uncover.    I  knew both Massachusetts and Maine had recently gone Medicinal and  Recreational on the Marijuana side of the business, and therefore, I  felt it would be credible to think that some of the oldest farming areas  in our country would be a good resource for growing hemp.

As I  started looking into farms, I wanted to be sure I kept Artistic Organics  business criteria in place. If you didn’t already know, Artistic  Organics goes through a very extensive process when researching all  products. First and foremost, the supplier MUST have an in-depth,  credible COA (Certificate of Analysis)..aka Labs. This is the litmus  test to ensure you get what is advertised in a product.  Artistic  Organics looks for CBD levels, THC levels, other cannabinoid levels,  terpene profiles, and more.   If any one of these fails… it fails the  requirements, and they move on.    Other criteria include:

  •       Sustainability in the farm
  •       Extraction process
  •       Utilizing a single strain or strain blend consistently
  •       Organic or equally proven methods of farming that exceed USDA and FDA requirements
  •       Ability to supply without any disruptions
  •       + approx. 10 additional criteria. (too many to list!)

Applying  Artistic Organics’s criteria, I could visit places on the East Coast,  specifically Maine.  Let me share with you my experience….

I  walked among the rows of young hemp plants that varied in strain. Mostly  Lifter and Berry Blossom, which smells very pleasing when you rub the  stalks. These farmers went into great detail about the irrigation  system, which was partly man-made, like most farms, but also utilized  the topography of their land. It was quite ingenious, actually. Soil in  Maine typically has a high pH, resulting in an iron deficiency. Farmers  manage this through a multi-layered soil approach that helps release  nitrogen slowly into their soil, resulting in a more sustainable  foundation for younger crops. Considering the younger plants looked  absolutely amazing is a clear result of this process.

Ultimately,  this particular farm aims to create a completely closed-loop farm so  their dependence on outside products will be minimal at best.  This is  what I really wanted to see in person. A passion for hemp farming at its  best is reflected in these farmers.

In  my experience, I’ve seen farms with hundreds of acres and thousands of  plants. Those farms are an amazing feat in itself. But where they exceed  in quantity, they tend to lose in craftsmanship. Note that I am not  dissing the big guys on quality … because some of them put out a great  product.  But simply culture is lacking what I call…. “Planting with  intent.” This culture is demonstrated by utilizing nature’s resources to  help the farm thrive. Think of it as big-name beer vs craft brew. Don’t  get me wrong, I like big-name beers just as much as the next guy. But  when I want something more…. Something with “bite” and “depth”… I go  craft. This is the same for me with hemp. It’s interesting to compare  the same strain, such as Berry Blossom, from a huge farm vs. a small  craft farm. It tastes and smells much more complex, coming from a small  “craft” farm.  This is something I felt was a huge difference in the  quality of the final product.

My experience and what I learned in  Maine was nothing short of extraordinary.  The farmers plant with care  and focus on producing the best quality, natural product possible.  They  opened their fields and farms to me, and my education and experience  allowed me to bring this knowledge back to you and all of our clients.
