What is CBD Oil?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is one of at least 112 known natural compounds found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and does not cause the "high" associated with marijuana use. These compounds are similar in structure to a system in the human body called the endocannabinoid system. Because of this, CBD can bind to the body's endocannabinoid system, which may in turn help to regulate sleep, pain, stress, etc.
What is the difference between whole-spectrum, full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and CBD isolate?
FULL spectrum CBD contains most of the compounds found in the cannabis plant, including CBD, THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis), and other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
BROAD spectrum CBD also contains multiple cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, but does not contain THC.
CBD ISOLATE is the purest form of the individual compound cannabidiol, containing only CBD and no other compounds from in the cannabis plant.
WHOLE Spectrum is the newest type of CBD and perhaps the most beneficial of all the types. It maintains the integrity of the original plant throughout the extraction process. All cannabinoids and other valuable molecules are collected and delivered in the exact ratios in which they existed in the plant; nothing added, nothing left behind.

How does CBD work in the body?
CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate a variety of functions such as mood, appetite, and sleep. CBD can also interact with other receptors in the body, such as serotonin receptors, which may help explain its potential benefits for the nervous system.
Is CBD legal?
The legal status of CBD varies depending on where you live. In the United States, CBD derived from hemp (with less than 0.3% THC) is legal under federal law, although some states have their own restrictions. CBD derived from marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
What are the potential benefits of using CBD?
CBD has been and is being, studied for its potential benefits for a variety of conditions such as anxiety, acne, depression, pain, inflammation, seizures, and much more. However, more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
How should I take CBD?
CBD can be taken in many forms, including oils, capsules, gummies, topicals, and more. The best way to take CBD depends on your individual needs and preferences. It's important to start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed.
Are there any side effects of taking CBD?
While CBD is generally considered safe, some people may experience side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and changes in appetite or mood. It's important to talk to your doctor before taking CBD, especially if you are taking other medications or have a pre-existing medical condition.
How do I choose a high-quality CBD product?
Look for CBD products that have been third-party tested for purity and potency. Make sure the product contains the amount of CBD advertised on the label, and check for any additional ingredients or additives. Choose organically grown brands with good customer reviews.
How long does it take for CBD to work?
The time it takes for CBD to work can vary depending on the method of consumption and individual factors such as metabolism and tolerance. For example, inhaling CBD through vaporization or smoking may have a faster onset time than taking CBD orally through edibles or capsules. Typically, the effects of CBD can be felt within 30 minutes to 2 hours and can last up to six hours, depending on the dose.
Can CBD cause a drug test to be positive?
It is possible for CBD to cause a positive drug test for THC, especially if the CBD product contains trace amounts of THC or if you are using a high dose. However, most drug tests are looking for THC specifically and will not detect CBD. It's important to use CBD products from reputable sources that clearly label the THC content.
Is it possible to overdose on CBD?
It is unlikely to overdose on CBD, as there is no known lethal dose. However, taking very high doses of CBD may cause side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, panic attacks or diarrhea. It's important to follow dosage guidelines and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
Is CBD oil addictive or unsafe?
