This is our #1 CBD FAQ. CBD is cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive compound and the second most abundant cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant.

There are several ways you can take CBD and the ‘best’ way depends on a few factors such as your intentions and your preferences. Some delivery methods have an immediate effect while others have a slower, longer release. The following four methods are the most popular:

–       Sublingual (drops, oil, spray, tincture, etc.) Put a few drops under your tongue and hold it for up to a minute. Then swish around with a little water and swallow.

–       Oral (edibles, capsules, etc.) This is good but sometimes effectiveness get worn out by the digestive tract.

–       Inhalation (Vaporizer, smoking, etc.) This is one of the fastest way but also it leaves your body the fastest as well.

–       Topical (lotions, balms, etc.) Of course this means applied to the skin.

–       Suppository (lotions, balms, etc.) Don’t make that weird face haha. You know it makes sense. Might not be fun but the anus is very absorbent. #Enjoy 

–       IV (intravenous, needles) By Far the most effective way as it goes directly into your bloodstream, but OBVIOUSLY not recommended and it certainly is not a party. 

Sublingual intake method with tinctures and oils are proving to be a favorite among users due to their precision (easy to measure the dosage), rapid effect and the ability to view lab reports to ensure quality CBD products.

This is the term used to describe a sublingual tincture of the CBD cannabinoid. To make the tincture, an extract of CBD is mixed with a base oil. For optimum results, the oil or tincture should be placed and held beneath the tongue. From there, the cannabinoid is swiftly absorbed into the blood stream. Although this is an efficient way to absorb CBD oil, it can be added to foods, drinks, and can be administered via capsules and suppositories as well.

Terpenes are essential oils found in the majority of the plants within the plant kingdom. Within cannabis there are roughly 200 terpenes. Have you ever enjoyed the scent of a jasmine as you walked by a vine growing on a garden gate? Or smiled at the fresh scent of lemongrass? This is thanks to terpenes. Terpenes provide a plant its aroma and flavor. Terpenes and cannabinoids work together synergistically, creating a network of beneficial effects.

Yes, pets will receive most of the same benefits as humans do. Although it is safe to use for pets, remember that the dosage needs to be much smaller. This is because some domestic pets, such as canines, have more cannabinoid receptors in the brain which in turn increases the sensitivity to cannabinoids. Although CBD is considered safe, it is recommended that you confer with your trusted vet (preferably a holistic vet) before you begin administering CBD to your beloved pets.

Many people asking this question are inquiring whether or not CBD will make them high in the same way as THC does. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid so this means that it will not cause the high that THC does. However, remember that in high doses CBD could cause subtle sedation and/or relaxation. This is the 2nd highest CBD FAQ.

Although CBD does not cause a psychoactive high, it can adjust your mental state. Some people that use CBD report feelings of alertness and mental clarity (usually when taken in small doses) and others report a more relaxing and tranquil effect (taken in higher doses).

Hemp seed oil is a food product and will not contain any compounds that will cause psychoactivity. Hemp seed oil is made from the hemp seeds and is sold in many stores for its nutritional value, including its high levels of protein. Hemp seed oil is usually used in the kitchen.

This question has a simple answer: CBD hemp oil is made from hemp while tinctures with the label “CBD Cannabis Oil” will be made from other plants of the cannabis sativa family, more specifically from marijuana plants. Another key difference is that CBD hemp oil will contain miniscule amounts of THC, if any, while CBD cannabis oil could contain higher amounts of THC.

Yes, hemp plants can contain levels of CBD although these levels will vary. The resinous flowering parts of the hemp plant will contain the highest levels of CBD.

CBD Isolates are oils or tinctures that contain the CBD compound as an isolated cannabinoid- and no other cannabinoids or terpenes. CBD would have been extracted from the plant without any other compounds before being made into the product. Full spectrum CBD oils contain other terpenes and cannabinoids, and not just CBD. The extraction process would be inclusive of the synergistic compounds that help to create the entourage effect. Furthermore, it is important to note that full spectrum CBD oils can contain THC. CBD Isolate vs Full Spectrum

The Entourage effect is the name given to the synergistic way that cannabinoids and terpenes work together to enhance the overall effect of the cannabinoids. Individually, each terpene and cannabinoid have a specific biochemical way that it affects the body. In 1998, a body of research emerged showing that cannabinoid and terpenes work together to create a more beneficial outcome.

CBD isolate, or “pure CBD”, is the isolated CBD compound. It is the cannabinoid that has been separated from the rest of the compounds existing in the cannabis plant. Usually, CBD isolate will be presented as a crystalline white powder. It can be made in a lab (synthesized CBD) or can be isolated and extracted from the marijuana or hemp plant.

Every human, and most mammals, have endocannabinoids. These are naturally occuring cannabinoids that the human body already has within it. The endocannabinoid system is the name given to the network consisting of endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors and enzymes. In the human body, there are two cannabinoid receptors that have received the most attention; the CB1 and the CB2 receptor. The majority of CB1 receptors are located within the brain while the majority of CB2 receptors are located throughout the human body’s immune system.

In plain terms, this is a full spectrum CBD but does not contain THC. This type of CBD is a favorite for those looking for full spectrum benefits without having any THC traces in their body.

There is also CBD ISOLATE listed above, which is just CBD and NOTHING else.

Broad spectrum is good because there are many other cannabinoids in it. (CBG, CBN, CBA etc.) and many other terpenes. Over 100 other things that help you feel better. Each serve a different purpose. For the record broad spectrum can mean is very broad. It can mean isolate plus 1 up to 99 other cannabinoids. Get more broad spectrum cbd FAQ answers in this link.

For centuries, hemp was used as an industrial material. This is because hemp is an extremely durable and strong material. Hemp has been used in packaging as a plastic alternative, to make paper, made into rope, and the seeds are even used to make cold-pressed oil for cooking for even into a protein supplement.

There is a book on 100+ uses for hemp. I just watched a video of a HOUSE being made out of hemp. wow

No, you cannot overdose on CBD. In fact, CBD has been shown to be safe to use even in high doses. This is because CBD is a non-toxic cannabinoid and taking higher doses will simply result in increased lethargy or drowsiness.

Remember it is a PLANT and is non toxic or synthetic like other man made drugs.

**Be warned there are synthetic CBD out there from some unscrupulous characters. Usually on Amazon or sketchy websites. Cheaper is usually NOT better when it comes to Hemp / CBD

Within the USA, CBD can be shipped across state lines. It cannot, however, be brought onto airplanes.

I would do some more research on this to be safe.

MCT’s are medium-chain triglycerides. They are a type of fat that is usually found in dairy products and specific oils. The supplement MCT oil is made out of these triglycerides and are used for various purported health benefits such as weight management, gut health and improved cognitive function.

There are varying dosages that you should take and there is no one official guide. However, it is suggested for new CBD users to start with lower doses and slowly ease your way up to larger doses if need be. One popular dose among users is to take a dose of 10 – 20 mg twice daily.
