Cannabinoid content is first and foremost determined by the plant genetics and how it was grown. When you talk about refining extract, you are referring to CO2 extract only. Consider instead, an alcohol based extract in which the only real process steps are to soak the hemp and remove the plant material. In that case, the hemp plant profile itself is what you get in the tincture. You can evaporate the alcohol and decarboxylate with heat for 30min if you want, but no tweaking of the profile beyond that. That is how CW's original formula is made. The content is based on the plant's natural profile.

Aside from CW's original formula, both CV and CW use CO2 extraction in their products, but the difference is in how much refining and concentrating has to be done before getting an acceptable finished product, not to mention that hemp grown for fiber has much smaller amounts of the 80-113+ other cannabinoids that everyone mentions. FYI, that number ranges because some terpenes double as cannabinoids, so definitions are not exact at this point.

I see it like this...no individual on Earth would ever choose to make an extract for themselves from plants that were grown one inch apart for fiber content, so why reinvent the wheel? It's not in the name of higher quality, and is only to save money. Beyond CBD and THC, have you ever smelled the difference between the flowers from hemp grown for cannabinoids and the flowers from hemp grown for fiber? It is similar to the difference you smell between good weed and brick weed.

If CV's current European hemp paste is good enough, why have they been telling everyone they will be using U.S. hemp soon? What's the benefit then? They are having to roll out a whole new brand. Don't you think "New Harvest" will be what they use to launch into using U.S. hemp in their products? Why go through all that if it doesn't make a difference?
