Frequently Asked Questions

Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is one of over 60+ naturally occurring cannabinoid compounds found in Cannabis, an annual herbaceous flowering plant. CBD oil is derived from an organic substance formed in the plant’s secretions. Both marijuana and hemp are forms of cannabis. However, cannabis does not mean marijuana. Cannabis is the genus name and general umbrella term under which all forms of marijuana and hemp fall. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause a “high.” Our CBD products are derived from hemp, not marijuana.

People are finding that CBD may be useful for many conditions that have not responded well to conventional treatments. The most common uses include chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, focus, PTSD, and epilepsy.

CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate balance, mood, sleep, pain, immune response, and stress. Unlike THC, CBD does not directly bind to CB1 or CB2 receptors, which is why it does not produce psychoactive effects.

The endocannabinoid system consists of cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and enzymes. The most studied receptors are CB1 (mainly in the brain) and CB2 (mainly in the immune system).

This is not medical advice. We recommend consulting your doctor. A general guideline is 1 mg of CBD per 8.8 pounds of body weight.

CBD may be non-psychoactive, reduce pain and inflammation, relieve muscle spasms, reduce anxiety, act as an antioxidant, and provide neuroprotective benefits.

Hemp-derived CBD containing only trace amounts of THC is legal in all 50 U.S. states and does not require a prescription.

The entourage effect refers to the synergistic interaction between cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, which may work better together than in isolation.

No. CBD is non-psychoactive and does not produce the high associated with THC.

Tinctures are a popular method and typically take 15–30 minutes to take effect. They can be taken directly or mixed into food or drinks.

CBD is generally well tolerated. High doses may cause drowsiness or lethargy.

Cannabinoids typically interact with CB1 and CB2 receptors, but CBD can also interact with non-cannabinoid receptors.

THC is psychoactive and causes a high, while CBD does not. They work together synergistically in what is known as the entourage effect.

CBD oil can be taken sublingually for faster absorption or mixed into food and drinks.

Due to federal regulations, we cannot make medical claims. We encourage customers to research available information.

Our products are lab tested internally and by third-party labs to ensure accuracy, safety, and purity.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in plants that provide flavor and aroma and work synergistically with cannabinoids.

Yes, pets may benefit from CBD, but doses should be smaller. Consult a veterinarian before use.

CBD will not cause a fatal overdose, though very high doses may cause drowsiness.

Yes. CBD can interact with medications metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Consult your doctor.

Hemp extract is the raw extract from the hemp plant used to produce CBD products.

Yes, raw cannabis contains cannabinoid acids like CBDA and THCA, which may have benefits.

Different ratios work better for different conditions. CBD and THC work synergistically.

CBD is metabolized by the liver into 7-hydroxy-CBD and does not convert into significant amounts of THC.
