Cannabis

Comprehensive FAQ

CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are both cannabinoids found in cannabis plants, but they work differently. THC produces psychoactive effects ("high"), while CBD doesn't. Hemp is a cannabis variety with less than 0.3% THC, legally grown for industrial and medicinal purposes. Our CBD products derive from hemp and contain minimal to no THC, providing wellness benefits without intoxicating effects.

These terms refer to different types of CBD extracts, each with unique properties:

  • Full-spectrum CBD: Contains all cannabinoids naturally present in the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3%), as well as terpenes and flavonoids. These compounds work together to create what's known as the "entourage effect," potentially enhancing therapeutic benefits.
  • Broad-spectrum CBD: Contains multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids but with THC removed. This option provides some entourage effects without THC.
  • CBD isolate: Pure CBD (99%+) with all other compounds removed. It's the most processed form of CBD, containing no THC or other cannabinoids.

We offer all three types to accommodate different preferences and needs. Full-spectrum products are generally considered most effective, but isolates are preferred by those who need to avoid THC completely.

No, CBD (cannabidiol) does not produce intoxicating effects or make you feel "high." Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is a non-psychoactive compound that doesn't significantly bind to the CB1 receptors in the brain responsible for the euphoric sensations associated with cannabis.

Our CBD products are derived from hemp plants containing less than 0.3% THC (the federal legal limit), ensuring they deliver therapeutic benefits without intoxication. This makes them appropriate for use throughout the day, including when you need to drive, work, or maintain mental clarity.

Many customers choose our CBD products specifically for their ability to provide relief and wellness support without the high associated with traditional cannabis products.

Choosing the right CBD product depends on your needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Oils and tinctures offer precise dosing and fast absorption under the tongue. Edibles provide convenience and longer-lasting effects. Topicals target specific areas for localized relief. Flower provides the full entourage effect. We recommend starting with a low dose of our tinctures for beginners and consulting with our staff for personalized recommendations.

Standard drug tests typically screen for THC metabolites, not CBD. However, there are important considerations:

  • CBD isolate and broad-spectrum products shouldn't trigger a positive result as they contain no THC
  • Full-spectrum CBD products contain legally permitted trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3%)
  • With regular use of full-spectrum products, THC can accumulate in the body and potentially trigger a positive result
  • The quality and accuracy of both the CBD product and the drug test can affect outcomes

If you're subject to regular drug testing, we recommend choosing our THC-free options (broad-spectrum or isolate products) or consulting with the testing provider about their specific testing thresholds for THC.

CBD dosage varies based on individual factors like body weight, metabolism, product concentration, and intended use. We recommend starting with 10-15mg of CBD, observing effects for several days, then gradually adjusting as needed. The "start low and go slow" approach helps you find your optimal dose. Our products feature clear dosage guidelines, and our knowledgeable staff is always available to provide personalized guidance.

CBD oil offers numerous potential health benefits due to its interaction with the body's endocannabinoid system. Research and user experiences suggest CBD may help with:

  • Pain management and relief from inflammation
  • Reduced anxiety and stress levels
  • Improved sleep quality and management of insomnia
  • Support for neurological conditions
  • Relief from certain skin conditions when applied topically

While clinical research is ongoing, many users report significant improvements in quality of life with regular CBD use. Effects vary by individual, so we recommend starting with a lower dose and adjusting based on your body's response.

For optimal results with CBD oil, follow these steps:

  • Sublingual application: Place the recommended number of drops under your tongue and hold for 60-90 seconds before swallowing. This allows for faster absorption through the mucous membranes.
  • Consistent timing: Take your CBD at the same time(s) each day to maintain consistent levels in your system.
  • Start low and go slow: Begin with a low dose (5-10mg) and gradually increase until you find your optimal dosage.
  • Take with food: CBD is fat-soluble, so taking it with a meal containing healthy fats can increase absorption.
  • Keep track of effects: Maintain a journal noting dosage, timing, and effects to find your ideal routine.

Each person's endocannabinoid system responds differently to CBD. Finding your ideal dosage and schedule may require some experimentation.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling network throughout your body that helps maintain homeostasis (balance) across multiple bodily functions. CBD interacts with this system in several ways:

  • CBD indirectly influences cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) throughout the body
  • It inhibits the enzyme FAAH, which breaks down anandamide (the "bliss molecule"), allowing this natural endocannabinoid to remain active longer
  • CBD activates other receptors like TRPV1, which regulates pain perception and inflammation
  • It modulates serotonin receptors, potentially affecting mood and anxiety
  • CBD works as an allosteric modulator, changing the shape of receptors to alter how they respond to other compounds

This multi-target action is why CBD may help with such a diverse range of conditions. By supporting the ECS, CBD helps promote overall balance in body systems.

Yes, CBD can be beneficial for pets as they also have endocannabinoid systems. Our pet-specific CBD products are specially formulated with appropriate concentrations and pet-safe ingredients.

  • Pet CBD may help with anxiety, joint discomfort, and mobility issues in aging pets
  • Dosage is weight-dependent and significantly lower than human doses
  • Always start with the lowest recommended dose and monitor your pet's response
  • Our pet products come in pet-friendly flavors and easy-to-administer forms
  • We recommend consulting your veterinarian before starting your pet on CBD

Never give pets CBD products formulated for humans, especially those containing additives like xylitol or essential oils that could be harmful to animals.

Hemp seed oil and CBD oil are distinct products often confused due to similar terminology:

  • Hemp seed oil is pressed from hemp seeds, which contain no CBD or other cannabinoids. It's valued for its nutritional content (omega fatty acids, protein) and is commonly used in cooking and skincare.
  • CBD oil is extracted from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of hemp plants, which contain cannabinoids including CBD. It's used primarily for its therapeutic properties related to the endocannabinoid system.

When shopping for CBD products, always check the ingredient list and certificate of analysis to confirm actual CBD content. Some companies misleadingly market hemp seed oil as having CBD benefits, so verification is important.

Proper storage extends the life and maintains the potency of your CBD and cannabis products:

  • Store in cool, dark places away from direct sunlight, which can degrade cannabinoids
  • Keep at room temperature (65-75°F); avoid extreme temperature fluctuations
  • Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent air exposure
  • Store upright to prevent leakage (for oils and tinctures)
  • Keep all products out of reach of children and pets

Properly stored CBD products typically maintain their potency for 1-2 years. Flower products are best used within 6 months of purchase for optimal freshness and effect.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds naturally found in cannabis and many other plants. They're responsible for the distinctive smells and flavors, but their importance goes beyond aroma:

  • Terpenes contribute to the "entourage effect" by working synergistically with cannabinoids
  • Different terpenes have unique potential therapeutic properties (anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic)
  • Common cannabis terpenes include myrcene (relaxing), limonene (uplifting), and pinene (focusing)
  • Terpene profiles help distinguish different cannabis strains and their effects
  • Our terpene-preserved products maintain these beneficial compounds through careful extraction

Understanding terpene profiles can help you select products likely to produce your desired effects, whether relaxation, energy, focus, or creative stimulation.

Traditional cannabis classifications include Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid varieties, though modern understanding focuses more on cannabinoid and terpene profiles:

  • Indica strains are traditionally associated with relaxing, sedative effects. Often recommended for evening use, pain relief, or sleep support.
  • Sativa strains are typically linked to energizing, uplifting effects. Often chosen for daytime use, creativity, or social activities.
  • Hybrids are crosses between Indica and Sativa, with effects depending on the dominant genetics and specific cannabinoid/terpene profile.

While these classifications provide general guidelines, each person's endocannabinoid system responds differently. Our knowledgeable staff can help you select products based on your specific needs and desired effects rather than relying solely on these traditional categories.

CBD is generally well-tolerated by most people, but some may experience mild side effects:

  • Dry mouth (easily managed by staying hydrated)
  • Temporary drowsiness, especially at higher doses
  • Changes in appetite
  • Mild digestive discomfort
  • Potential interaction with certain medications

CBD can affect how your liver processes certain medications, similar to the effect of grapefruit. If you take prescription medications, especially those with a "grapefruit warning," consult with your healthcare provider before starting CBD. Side effects are typically mild and often diminish as your body adjusts to CBD.

We primarily use CO2 extraction for our premium products, which offers several advantages:

  • CO2 extraction preserves delicate cannabinoids and terpenes without using harsh chemicals
  • The process yields clean, pure extracts with no toxic residues
  • It's environmentally friendly, as CO2 is naturally occurring and recyclable
  • Temperature and pressure control allows for targeting specific compounds
  • This method produces consistent potency and quality across batches

For select products, we may use ethanol extraction, which is particularly effective for full-spectrum extracts. We avoid hydrocarbon extraction methods (using butane or propane) due to potential residual solvent concerns. Our extraction facilities use state-of-the-art equipment and follow strict safety and quality protocols.
