CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound that comes from the hemp plant. Research suggests that CBD has an array of medicinal and wellness benefits, and is safe for use.

Is CBD the same as THC?

No. CBD and THC are both cannabinoids with similar chemical compositions, but different effects on the human body. The biggest difference is that THC is known to cause psychoactive or intoxicating effects, while CBD does not.

What are your CBD products made from?

All of our products use CBD derived from industrial hemp plants, NOT from the marijuana plant.

Will CBD get me high?

While CBD is not completely without neurological effects, the compound does not contain THC or have psychoactive properties, and therefore will not get you high. Our products are lab-tested to ensure they are below the federal limit of 0.3% THC.

Is CBD legal?

CBD is legal in the U.S., as long as it’s derived from hemp and not from marijuana, and does not contain THC. Our CBD products are below the legal limit of 0.3% Delta 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content.

Is CBD addictive or habit-forming?

No. In 2017, the World Health Organization reported: “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential.”

Will CBD show up on a drug test?

While tests that can detect CBD metabolites are being developed for employer use, standard drug tests only detect the presence of THC. Therefore, as long as the CBD you’re using is hemp-derived and verifiably free of THC, it will not be detected in a standard drug test. Since products containing up to 0.3% THC are legal and available, if you are concerned about failing a drug test, make sure you use a THC-free product.

Will CBD cure my condition/sickness/disease?

CBD has not been proven to cure any life-threatening conditions, and false claims have become so common that the FDA issued several warning letters in November 2017. There is, however, a growing body of convincing research showing CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties, positive effects on brain chemistry, and a host of other potential health and wellness benefits.

Does CBD require a prescription?

Hemp-derived CBD is available to anyone without a prescription. We only sell CBD products to adults who are 18+ years old.

Will a higher dose of CBD provide better results?

Not necessarily. Depending on your reasons for trying CBD, smaller doses may actually be more effective. We encourage customers to start with the smallest dose possible until their desired results are achieved, within the manufacturer’s guidelines for any specific product. Our team can help you find a dose that works for you.

How should I take CBD?
