FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs):
- I’ve found CBD products called “Hemp Extract oil”, “Phytocannabinoid oil”, “Hemp Oil” – Is there a difference?No, these are just different terminologies that brands in the CBD industry use. If you’re unsure whether it’s a CBD oil or not, you should always check to see if the product has any descriptions about ‘dosage’ or ‘concentration’. However, do not confuse CBD oil with hemp seed oil, which are fundamentally different.
- What is the difference between CBD Hemp Oil and Hemp Seed Oil? Hemp Seed Oil is derived from the hemp seeds and are mainly used for dietary purposes (imagine something similar to coconut oil). Refined hemp seed oil can also be used in beauty care products, as they have amazing skin care properties. CBD Hemp oil is not the same thing as hemp seed oil, as it is extracted from one of hemp’s many cannabinoids and have fundamentally different properties.
- Can I give CBD oil to my pets? Yes, there are CBD oil brands that offer pet tinctures, which has been known to help with animals that suffer from anxiety. Again, we advise that you do your own research on CBD before trying it out.
- Do I need a doctor’s’ prescription or medical marijuana card (Red Card)? No. Since hemp-derived CBD products are dietary supplements, there is no need to obtain a doctor’s recommendation or to live in a medical marijuana state to have our products delivered to your door. Please note that there are CBD oil products that are derived from medical marijuana, in which case, you will need to either have a doctor’s prescription or live in a medical marijuana state. Before beginning any new supplement routine, it is suggested you consult your doctor.
- What’s the difference between marijuana CBD oil and industrial hemp CBD oil?The main difference between marijuana CBD and hemp CBD are the differences in levels of THC the oil contains. Marijuana CBD oil typically contains a high level of THC along with CBD, which means that it is psychoactive. Hemp CBD, on the other hand, has high level of CBD with minimal amount of THC (<0.3%)
- Do cannabidiol (CBD) and other natural hemp based constituents show up on a drug test?Most workplace drug screens and tests target delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and do not detect the presence of cannabidiol (CBD) or other legal natural hemp based constituents. However, studies have shown that eating hemp foods and oils can, in rare cases, cause confirmed positive results when screening urine and blood specimens. Accordingly, if you are subject to any form of drug testing, we recommend that you do not ingest our products before consulting with your healthcare, drug screening/testing company, or employer.
- How much CBD should I take?This is a difficult question to answer because our customers find differences in their personally optimal serving size. We suggest you start low and ease your way up to larger servings if desired until you find the daily CBD levels that work best for you. If you have questions about which CBD product may fit your needs, please contact our customer service department.
- What’s the difference between CBD hemp oil and the hemp products I buy at the grocery store?Hemp products sold in grocery and health food stores are most often created using hemp seed oil, which can contain only trace amounts of CBD. While it has been noted that hemp seed oil can be a great source of nutrition, its marginal quantity of CBD per weight makes it unfeasible as a CBD supplement. Our CBD hemp oil, however, is extracted from the stalk of specifically selected hemp cultivars, offering higher percentages of CBD by weight and additional nutritional benefits from the contents of our oil.
