Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is cannabidiol/CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and confirmed by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and endow the plant with its robust therapeutic profile.
How does CBD work?
The magic of CBD lies fully in its relationship with the endocannabinoid system (often referred to as the ECS). The ECS is a collection of cell receptors located throughout the body- mainly in the brain and central nervous system, but also in the organs and connective tissues. The main task of the ECS is regulating homeostasis throughout the body, i.e. bringing the body to optimal balance. Because of the many areas in which the ECS receptors are located (and their ability to maintain homeostasis) the ECS is considered one of the most important systems in the body in regards to maintaining health.
What is a tincture? How do I take a tincture?
A tincture is a liquid extract that is taken sublingually (under the tongue). To ingest our tinctures: Shake well. Place one full dropper under the tongue, hold for 60 seconds, and then swallow. Repeat as needed.
Will CBD make me high?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is naturally non-intoxicating. You may feel more calm when taking it as CBD’s effects are more relaxing vs a high feeling. Not only will CBD not get you high, but it actually counteracts the high effects of THC, which is the compound notorious for getting people high.
Where does CBD come from?
CBD is extracted and separated from specific varieties of cannabis, often known as hemp. Chemically, CBD is one of 85 chemical substances known as cannabinoids, which are all found in the cannabis plant. CBD is the second most abundant compound in hemp, typically representing up to 40% of its extracts.
CBD is extracted in oil form and is often found mixed in hemp oil extracts in varying concentrations.
How long until I feel the effects of CBD?
CBD effects can usually take up to 30 minutes depending on the dosage.
About Our Products
CBD Dosage
There is no ‘correct’ CBD dosage. The optimal dose for a consumer depends on several factors, such as body type, CBD tolerance, and the consumer’s level of pain or discomfort. The type of CBD product and its concentration are other important considerations, since some products interact differently with the body than others. We recommend starting with a small dosage and increasing as necessary.
Where is it made?
Our products are made in the USA with imported and domestic ingredients. The hemp is grown and proccessed in Colorado.
