Here’s how you can pick out good nugs: When you pull one out and look at it in the light, you’ll see it glistening with thousands of tiny crystals all over it. Those are the trichomes, which are the part of the hemp buds that contain the bulk of the cannabinoids. Trichomes are part of a plant’s natural defense against predators, and the cannabinoids produced by them are meant to repel insects and microbes that would harm the plant (they also just so happen to have benefits for mammals like us!).
At CBD For the People, we take our role in the hemp industry very seriously.  That is why we only work with organic, domestic farmers, and have our products thoroughly lab-tested by a third party. You can learn more about our practices and quality standards on our website’s FAQ page.
