General CBD FAQ

What Is CBD And How Does It Work?

CBD (cannabidiol), is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. It’s a naturally occurring substance that’s used in products like oils and edibles to impact a feeling of relaxation and calm. Unlike its cousin THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it’s not psychoactive- won’t have you feeling sedated or altered in any way.

CBD is a wonderful pain reliever, muscle relaxant, anti-pain, anti-inflammatory, helps w seizures, has anti-tumor properties, helps decrease anxiety and uplift your mood.

Who To Trust For CBD?

Crucial to buy third-party-tested CBD for quality assurance. Because the FDA doesn’t regulate CBD, it’s possible to buy a product that is more or less potent than advertised, or even contains small amounts of THC. This will allow you to see exactly what you’re putting into your body, and verify that the product contains what the packaging says it does. Look for products made from organic, U.S.-grown cannabis. Cannabis grown in the U.S. is subject to agricultural regulations and can’t contain more than 0.3% THC. Organic ingredients mean you’re less likely to consume pesticides or chemicals.

Easy access to CBD oil; downside = inconsistent quality. Many hemp-derived CBD oil products are mislabeled as to CBD and THC content. Poorly processed CBD oil may be tainted with toxic solvent residues, corn syrup, artificial flavors, and other contaminants.

CBD can’t be legally included in foods or dietary supplements. Also can’t be included inproducts marketed w therapeutic claims.

When testing for strength there are 14 major cannabinoids. The test results from an independent lab show the percentage of CBD and other compounds. Reliable manufacturers will provide these results on website and packaging.

You have to watch for poorly manufactured hemp-CBD products because many of which contain mysterious inactive chemicals or ingredients different than those listed on the label. Many of these poor quality hemp-CBD products have been tracked back to China.

Be sure to look for products made with full or broad-spectrum oil to get the full scope of health benefits.

Why Is CBD So Popular?

The Farm Bill in 2018 played a big part in why CBD products have become more widely available in the U.S. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (or Farm Bill) legalized farming and selling of industrial hemp and its derived products in all 50 states. The Farm Bill means that CBD products are considered legal only if they are derived from industrial hemp grown per the bill’s tight regulations. Part of CBD’s rise in popularity has been due to anecdotal health claims on its positive effect on various ailments.

What Is Delta 8-THC?

Delta-8 is a minor cannabinoid, occurring in the cannabis plant in very small concentrations. It is also known to be a degraded form of THC, and is not directly produced by cannabinoid-synthesizing enzymes within the plant. Commercial growers and extractors use selective breeding and molecular isolations to access greater quantities of delta-8. Delta-8 is a smoother, less anxious psychoactive experience than Delta-9. If it is derived from Cannabis Sativa it is illegal in most states, but if it comes from hemp it is legal in most states. There are many reports of Delta-8 producing a clearer high with reduced anxiety and greater ability to concentrate. Delta-8 is usually produced in a distillate form and requires a multi-step process, in which the plant goes through levels of refinement. Some benefits of Delta-8 include stimulating appetite and abetting pain and inflammation and assisting anxiety and nausea.

Is Delta-8 THC Natural?

Delta-8 THC is not synthetic and naturally occurs in small amounts in cannabis. That being said, manufacturers do not extract D-8 from the plant itself. Bulk CBD is converted into delta 8 via chemical isomerization.

Will THC Delta-8 Get Me “high” Or “stoned”?

Unlike CBD, consuming Delta-8 can get you high. It’s reported to be way less psychoactive than Delta-9 THC

How Much CBD Is In Each Serving Of The Isolate?

CBD isolate offers a highly concentrated way to consume CBD. In fact, CBD isolate is the most concentrated CBD product that delivers high levels of CBD to your systems. CBD isolate is made by refining all-natural hemp oil into a highly concentrated CBD powder. The term is used to describe pure isolate powder that contains 99% CBD, making it the most potent and concentrated CBD product currently available. Since CBD isolate contains over 99% CBD, each milligram of CBD isolate represents roughly a milligram of active CBD.
