Frequently Asked Questions
CBD Info
What is CBD?
CBD is an abbreviation of cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive compound that naturally occurs in the hemp plant. CBD oil works with receptors in the body, called the endocannabinoid system, to produce a whole host of positive effects. CBD oil has been clinically proven to improve moods, regulate appetite, boost cognitive function, and even inhibit the bodyβs pain response.
Does CBD get me high?
Our CBD oil products are tested to assure that they contain less than 0.3% THC by volume. Users wonβt experience any psychoactive effects. In short – no, you will not get high. This means that every single one of our products is safe to use, even with children.

Federal regulations prohibit us from stating that CBD oil is designed to cure, treat, or prevent any disease or condition. We can simply say that CBD oil is a well-researched, safe, and proven complementary addition to many treatment plans for a host of symptoms and conditions. If youβd like to learn more about CBD oil and the benefits you may experience from using it, we advise you consult your physician.
What is a tincture? How do I take a tincture?
Our CBD oil comes in tincture form. A tincture is a liquid concentrate made from an herb. This concentrate makes the active compounds in the herb stronger and readily available to the body.
To ingest a tincture, you must first shake it to reincorporate and blend the compounds. Then, place a full dropper of the tincture beneath your tongue. Your body will begin to absorb the tincture through the soft tissue of your mouth. Hold the tincture in your mouth for 60 seconds, and then swallow it.
Will I have any issues with a drug test from CBD?
CBD isolate products contain absolutely no THC whatsoever β not even remnants. With isolate products, a false positive is impossible. Itβs just slightly less than impossible that full spectrum CBD will trigger a false positive on a drug test. Full spectrum CBD products contain a fraction of a percent of naturally occurring THC. This is not enough THC to cause a psychoactive effect when taken in recommended doses, even if the product is used daily.
Even at frequent doses, only 0.1% of full spectrum CBD users report false positives on drug tests. These results can be explained away or diminished with more comprehensive testing (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry drug testing), which will amend the results as a false positive.
While you should consume full spectrum CBD products at your own risk, the risk youβre assuming is relatively low. Always follow the package instructions when using full spectrum CBD products. If you have any concerns about CBD and drug testing, speak to your employer. If possible, mention gas chromatography-mass spectrometry testing before you take a drug test.
FDA Disclosure
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration and are in no way intended to treat or diagnose any physical ailment or disease. Please consult your Doctor before adding CBD or any supplement to your diet. Most workplace and competitive sports drug screens focus on delta- tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and do not screen for Cannabinol (CBD) or other legal and natural hemp-based compounds. Be advised, studies have shown that consuming hemp foods or oils can cause a positive result when screening urine and blood specimens. Therefore, if you are subject any form of drug testing or screening we recommended (as does the United States Armed Services) that you DO-NOT ingest CBD or hemp oil. Prior to consuming these products please consult with your healthcare practitioner or your drug screening testing company or employer.
