This whole plant CBDA extract is used for healing
How one man’s urge to help his daughter created a nutritious CBDA oil for everyone.
Anthony “Sully” Sullivan is known as a famous TV pitcher – you might recognize him from his iconic OxiClean commercials – but his daughter Devon changed everything. Born with a rare genetic disorder, she suffered from a range of medical issues, including seizures, and the medications she was prescribed tarnished her bright personality.
Sullivan tried giving CBD to his daughter, and the results were so miraculous in her case that he found a new calling: creating the purest possible extract for his daughter and anyone else who might need it.
So he bought a 116-acre organic farm in Vermont, named it MONTKUSH, assembled a dream team, and invested in a top-of-the-line rosin press that can be used at lower temperatures so they can extract all the good of the plant with absolutely no additives and very little waste. Not only was the end product rich in a range of beneficial cannabinoids and terpenes, it also contained unusually high concentrations of CBDA, an unsung hero in therapeutic hemp.
With MONTKUSH’s Raw CBDA Oil, Sullivan’s dream of creating something that could better support his daughter’s well-being came true. With the power of CBDA, customers across the country have finally found something that also supports their well-being, even when other products have fallen short. As one customer said in a rave review, “The freshly squeezed approach to processing [hemp] is clearly the best.”
“The freshly squeezed approach to processing [hemp] is clearly the best.”
What is special about CBDA is that it works slightly differently than other cannabinoids, giving it a unique effect on the mind and body. Here’s how it works – and how to find the right product to make it sing.
What is CBDA?
Typically, cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with the same receptors in your body. CBDA skips this whole process and inhibits enzymes associated with inflammation after injury or infection.
We’re still learning what CBDA is actually capable of, and scientific research can take years. But the results so far are promising: A study in rodents suggests it may affect serotonin levels, which help regulate emotions and basic functions. It also has 100x affinity for our 5HT receptors, which regulate this serotonin. Some research suggests it has potential as an antidepressant or anticonvulsant. CBDA is also more bioavailable than CBD, making it easier for our bodies to metabolize.
CBDA is abundant in fresh cannabis, but when heated it converts to regular CBD. This is why you don’t see it very often, at least not in large quantities: most hemp and cannabis extraction methods require heat, and even if you have fresh produce you’re probably applying your own heat by smoking or vaporizing. The heatless extraction used to create MONTKUSH rosin will bring out CBDA in far higher concentrations than what is typically on the shelves. And its availability in oil form means you don’t add heat during the consumption process either.
How to find quality CBDA extract
Not every CBD extract will have significant levels of CBDA, which is why you need to check not only the label, but third-party lab results as well. Safe, reputable brands always make these available online. MONTKUSH took theirs so seriously that they drove from Vermont to Arizona in two Airstream trailers to find the best analysts possible.
Each part of the cannabis plant works together to produce effects that are greater than the sum of its parts – cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds all enhance the effects of the others – so you’ll want a full-spectrum, whole-plant extract more of an isolate, that contains only a single cannabinoid and nothing else. Watch carefully because some “full-spectrum” products just take one isolate and mix other isolates back in.
What you get in the bottle with MONTKUSH is coconut oil and everything that came off the press, with all its natural terpenes, cannabinoids and, yes, even trace amounts of THC, as permitted by law. That’s all you get too, with no added solvents or added flavors. It is one of the purest extracts on the market and allows you to fully appreciate the plant it comes from.
This brings up another important factor for high-quality hemp: where it comes from. MONTKUSH handles the entire process from start to finish, growing hemp on their own certified organic farm and then extracting, bottling and selling it in-house. That kind of serious grooming makes all the difference.
Does CBDA work?
It’s too early to make any concrete scientific claims about CBDA, but MONTKUSH customers are leaving rave reviews about its effects on sleep, pain, nausea, and a host of other conditions.
“I’ve never tried any of it because I just didn’t trust the companies that made it,” writes Sean, who purchased a bottle of MONTKUSH’s raw CBDA oil after learning the story of Sullivan and his daughter in Vice- TV series Kush Kings. “I’m giving a thumbs up because my lower back pain, [and] I have a pretty bad back, seems to love it.
“I have a literal cornucopia of pain from both early onset rheumatoid arthritis and spinal scoliosis to name a few culprits,” reports an anonymous customer who also uses CBDA oil for pain. “[MONTKUSH’s CBDA oil] really took the sting out of my long work days and early mornings. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in inflammation in my ankles and wrists, it’s been a nice respite.”
“My sleep was better without tossing and turning. I actually wake up refreshed and with a clear head.”
“Where has that been all my life!?” asks Ami C, who says she has had a lifelong struggle with anxiety. “This stuff gives me a sense of calm. I feel much more relaxed since using CBDa…. I’ll always have this stuff handy.”
Even some longtime CBD users see CBDA oil as something better.
“I’ve been using CBD off and on for the past few years, mostly to sleep,” says MONTKUSH consumer Paul T. “I came across MONTKUSH and was thrilled to see that they actually contain CBDA… All I can say is… IT WORKS ! I usually take it about an hour before bed so it can get into my system. My sleep was better without tossing and turning. I actually wake up refreshed and with a clear head.”
Jasmine F. Agrees: “Personally, I found this to be more calming than the CBD. Taken in the morning it helps balance my coffee anxiety and get my day off to a good start when I’m particularly anxious.”
The growing consensus? This CBDA oil is pretty damn good.
“Works great for pain and helps with sleep,” writes Rachel C. “Great product, fast shipping, good deals and free stickers, what’s not to love?”
