Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CBD and THC?
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound that produces the 'high' associated with cannabis. CBD (cannabidiol) is non-psychoactive and does not produce a high. Both interact with the endocannabinoid system but in different ways, producing different therapeutic effects.
Will CBD show up on a drug test?
Pure CBD should not cause a positive drug test. However, full-spectrum CBD products contain trace amounts of THC (up to 0.3%) which could potentially trigger a positive result with heavy use. If drug testing is a concern, use CBD isolate or broad-spectrum products.
Can I take CBD and THC together?
Yes, and many people find the combination more effective than either alone. This is known as the entourage effect. CBD can actually help moderate some of THC's side effects like anxiety and paranoia. Products with specific CBD:THC ratios are available at most dispensaries.
Is CBD legal everywhere?
Hemp-derived CBD (containing less than 0.3% THC) is federally legal in the US under the 2018 Farm Bill. However, some states have additional restrictions. THC products are only legal in states with recreational or medical cannabis programs.
