CBD FAQs
WHAT IS CANNABIDIOL (CBD)?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound derived from the leaves, stalks, and flowers of the industrial hemp or marijuana cannabis plant. It is the most widely accepted non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant. While CBD can be extracted from both hemp and marijuana, it's important to note that hemp-based CBD extracts are different from those derived from marijuana. At High Gravity Distro, all of our Broad-Spectrum CBD products contain CBD extracted exclusively from industrial hemp.
IS CBD OIL LEGAL?
Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp and hemp-derived products are legal to produce, sell, and consume throughout all 50 states. These products must be derived from industrial hemp containing less than 0.3 percent THC. However, states can still decide if they want to allow the sale and production of hemp-based products.
WILL I GET “HIGH” FROM USING CBD?
Because CBD is a non-intoxicating component from industrial hemp, which legally must have less than 0.3 percent of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), there’s no “high” or euphoric effect as a result of using hemp-derived CBD.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF CBD?
The properties of CBD will vary for each individual depending on factors such as height, weight, and the quantity of CBD taken. Because there are no intoxicating ingredients in CBD oil, there is no “high” effect. Start with small amounts and gradually increase with each use until reaching the desired results.
WILL USING CBD OIL SHOW UP ON A DRUG TEST?
While hemp-based CBD products are manufactured from hemp plants containing less than 0.3% THC, there are still trace amounts. There is a small possibility that consuming CBD may lead to a positive drug test for THC, as it does with any product made from hemp. If this is a significant concern, we advise speaking with your employer or doctor before use.
HOW MUCH CBD SHOULD I TAKE?
Because each person’s body structure is unique, it is difficult to set a predetermined measurement that is right for everyone. It is recommended to consult a doctor or health professional to determine an amount right for you.
WHAT IS A CANNABINOID?
Cannabinoids are molecular compounds naturally produced by Cannabis sativa plants. However, they are also found in other plants and are produced within our bodies. Classified as fatty compounds, cannabinoids play vital roles within our immune and central nervous systems.
WILL I NEED A MARIJUANA CARD OR DOCTOR’S PRESCRIPTION TO USE CBD PRODUCTS?
Our products contain hemp-based CBD, which is federally legal to be purchased anywhere in the U.S. without a marijuana card or doctor's prescription. Please check your local laws to verify that CBD is legal in your state.
