CBD FAQs
1. What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, a compound found naturally in hemp plants. Unlike THC, it does not produce a high. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system and may support wellness.
2. Is your CBD derived from marijuana or hemp?
Our CBD is derived from hemp. Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal and non-intoxicating.
3. What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana?
Hemp and marijuana are different varieties of the cannabis plant. Hemp has 0.3% or less THC, while marijuana contains more and can cause intoxication.
4. What is the difference between broad spectrum, full spectrum, and isolate CBD?
-
Full Spectrum: Contains all cannabinoids, including up to 0.3% THC.
-
Broad Spectrum: Includes all cannabinoids except THC.
-
Isolate: Pure CBD with no other cannabinoids.
5. What is the endocannabinoid system (ECS)?
The ECS is a system of receptors throughout the body that helps regulate functions like sleep, immune response, and mood. CBD interacts with this system to promote balance.
6. What are cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are natural compounds found in hemp and cannabis. There are over 100 known cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, and CBN.
7. What’s the difference between CBD and THC?
CBD is non-intoxicating and promotes balance. THC is intoxicating and causes a “high.” Both are cannabinoids but have different effects.
