What Is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the 100+ cannabinoids produced by flowering hemp plants. CBD is a different cannabinoid than THC, the cannabinoid responsible for “marijuana’s” psychoactive effects. When you take CBD, you won’t feel “high” or intoxicated, but you may feel more relaxed, socially recharged, less sore, or ready for bed. Read our comprehensive guide to CBD using the button below!

How do you take CBD?

There are many ways to use CBD, including eating infused edible products, topical rubs, smokables, and oil-based tinctures. Each is a little different from the rest and offer their own benefits. Learn more about how to use CBD Oil Tinctures below!

From our Satisfied Customers

First time consuming CBD products, and I have to say, Sleep Gummies truly relaxes me and it does help me get a good night sleep. I will definitely continue to purchase the sleep gummies (and hopefully other products).

I receive this tincture every other months and take a full dose every other night. It comes in complement of meds (anxiolytics and antidepressants) and keeps me grounded, less stressed, more poised. It has been of great help in the past two years. If it’s your first time trying CBD, you have to take it diligently for 2-3 weeks before feelings its effects.

From the first time I used the salve, I immediately felt less pain in my knees. I have bone on bone and suffered daily for years with knee pain. One application of the salve and I was able to walk and stand comfortably for hours. It has truly been a miracle for me. I am a customer for life! Thank you for making a tremendous product!

First time trying edible CBD since I gave up smoking. Long time listener of the Majority Report and decided to see how these would help with sleep and they do the trick! Very mellow and relaxing from just one, feel like two at a time would definitely knock me out lol

I use this product daily. I love it. It goes great in coffee or tea for stressful mornings or sleepless nights.

It works!! I have tried other companies and this CBD oil does exactly what I needed it to do. It definitely has helped with my sleeping. I feel comfortable using when it comes from a company that I can trust. Thank you.

Frequently Asked CBD Questions

CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system—a biological network composed of cannabinoid receptors and signalers—to help the body maintain overall health and homeostasis. 

The endocannabinoid system plays a role in many bodily functions, including 

  • Sleep 
  • Mood 
  • Stress 
  • Metabolism and appetite
  • Memory and our ability to retain new information
  • Inflammation response 

CBD is known as a phytocannabinoid, phyto- meaning ‘of the plant’ and mimics our body’s endocannabinoids, endo- meaning internal, that our bodies naturally produce. Some believe that consuming phytocannabinoids like CBD can help a user’s endocannabinoid system run more efficiently.

Unlike some all-natural homeopathic remedies, you will feel CBD when it kicks in, especially if you opt for a full-spectrum product. How fast the effects kick in, and your experience will depend on your ingestion method.

Smokable and topical CBD have the fastest onset times but offer limited benefits. Oil tinctures, edibles, and beverages have varying onset times but will offer a more complete full-body experience.

Overall, the effects you should feel are calm, relaxed, and looser both physically and socially. CBD will make you want to go to bed if you’re already tired.

CBD is well tolerated by most people and generally considered safe to use. But, as with any supplement, you may experience some unwanted side effects. Some of the most common side effects include:

  • Change in appetite 
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness 
  • Upset Stomach

CBD is also safe in the sense that it isn’t addictive and won’t create any dependence in users. The World Health Organization stated that in its pure state “cannabidiol does not appear to have abuse potential or cause harm.”

CBD, by itself, is non-psychoactive and will not make you feel intoxicated. In other words, CBD will not get you “high.”

However, if you are sensitive to THC, you may want to steer clear of CBD products described as “full-spectrum.” These products will contain trace amounts of THC, which, when consumed in any amount, can make you feel intoxicated. If this sounds like you, look for products made with CBD isolate or described as made with “pure CBD.”

If you would like assistance finding THC-free products in our shop, please email us using our contact page, and we’ll be happy to help.

CBD, the cannabinoid, will not show up on a standard workplace drug test. That’s not to say that using a CBD product can’t trigger a positive drug test. Products described or labeled as “full-spectrum” will contain trace amounts of THC that can cause you to fail a drug test. For more information on this subject, please see our blogs about CBD and THC drug testing here.
