FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CBD Basics

Collapsible content

What is CBD?

CBD is an abbreviation for Cannabidiol, a naturally occurring molecule found in the cannabis (hemp) plant. It interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) which regulates a wide range of biological functions.

Where is CBD legal?

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized CBD by removing it from the Controlled Substances Act, making it legal to possess, consume, and sell across the United States. Hemp and its derivatives containing less than 0.3% THC are fully compliant with federal law.

What is the difference between CBD oil and hemp oil?

In simple terms, CBD oil contains CBD, while hemp oil does not. Hemp oil is made by cold-pressing hemp seeds, much like olive oil, and while it lacks cannabinoids, it is highly nutritious and beneficial for other purposes.

How is hemp different from marijuana?

Both hemp and marijuana share the scientific name Cannabis sativa, with the distinction between them being purely legal and somewhat arbitrary. Hemp is defined as containing less than 0.3% THC, while marijuana typically has THC levels ranging from 15-25%. The CBD and THC content in these plants is largely determined by their genetic makeup.

CBD Science

How is CBD different from THC?

CBD and THC are similar molecules with distinct characteristics. CBD is non-intoxicating, while THC can produce mind-altering effects. Both interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) and are used to address various ailments. By adjusting the CBD-to-THC ratio in products, their effects can be tailored to specific needs, though many states regulate the allowable THC content. Both cannabinoids are naturally found in the flowers of the hemp plant.

How does CBD work?

CBD works with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a vital role in regulating various biological processes, including sleep, appetite, immune function, pain response, and mood. Because the ECS influences so many functions, modulating it can produce wide-ranging effects. Unlike most pharmaceuticals, which involve a single compound targeting one specific receptor to produce a specific effect, CBD and other hemp extracts interact with multiple ECS receptors in diverse ways. This complexity makes it challenging to link one compound to a single receptor or effect, posing significant hurdles for CBD and plant-based derivatives in clinical trials.

Where does CBD come from?

CBD is naturally produced in the cannabis plant, primarily in the flowers of unpollinated female plants. Alongside other cannabinoids found in hemp, CBD serves as a natural antifungal, antibacterial, and insecticidal agent, helping to protect the plant from environmental threats.

What do people use CBD for?

Federal regulations prevent us from making specific claims about the products we carry. We recommend using them to support general wellness and encourage customers to do their own research.
