Frequently Asked Questions
-
How is CBD different from marijuana?While CBD is a naturally-occurring component of marijuana, it does not cause a "high" like some may think. The CBD we offer is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. Industrial hemp is defined by US law as cannabis having 0.3% or less delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content by dry weight.

What is the difference between broad- and full-spectrum CBD?If an extract is full-spectrum, this means it contains all phytochemicals naturally found in the plant, including CBD, trace cannabinoids, terpenes, and essential oils. Full-spectrum extracts from hemp also come with a negligible THC content — below 0.3% Although non-psychoactive, full-spectrum CBD can give you a false positive during a drug test, especially if you consume high doses of CBD oil daily. That’s when the broad-spectrum CBD comes in. Like full-spectrum CBD, broad-spectrum CBD contains cannabidiol and all the other compounds within the plant. However, it goes through an additional process to remove the trace amounts of THC, completely removing it after the initial extraction.
-
What dosage should I take?Everyone is unique and the fact remains that everyone is in a different place and will react differently to their CBD dosage. As dosage of CBD differs for each person, it is best to start small and gradually increase at a comfortable level until you experience the desired result.
-
How can a water-based formula help?When a therapeutic substance that likes to be transported in fat needs to be taken orally, making it so the substance can be transported in water can enhance the amount that actually gets used by the body. This can be sprayed directly in the mouth and swallowed immediately or added to drink or food. Because of the way the water soluble CBD is absorbed, the effects can be up to 10x more effective than the oil equivalent since your body is able to absorb almost 100% of the cannabinoids into your system. Using a special technique, the oil compounds are reduced so that they are small enough for the body to process the CBD as it would any other food stuff that isn't an oil.
-
Will I fail a drug test is I use CBD?Drug tests do not screen for CBD because it does not cause intoxicating effects and is not an illegal controlled substance. Nevertheless, people who use CBD may still fail a drug test due to products that may be contaminated with THC or have improper labeling. That’s why the products that we sell, are 3rd party tested, to remain compliant with state and federal regulations.
