FAQs about CBD
WHO MAKES YOUR CBD AND HEMP PRODUCTS?
Our CBD and Hemp products are provided to us my local makers. Each product listed will state what source the CBD or Hemp is derived from.
WHAT IS CBD AND THC? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two active ingredients found in Hemp, Marajuana, and other plants in the same genus. The exact effects these chemicals produce in the human body requires a bit of biological background information to understand, but the essential explanation is: They trigger a neuro-hormonal ‘domino effect’ that results in your brain ‘turning down the volume’ on it’s stress level, and encouraging the brain to activate the systems your body uses to repair and maintain itself. The EXTREMELY short explanation: It calms you down and helps you feel better.
As for the difference between the two: chemically they are very similar, but essentially THC is psychoactive (meaning it gets you “High”) while CBD isn’t. Legally speaking, hemp with THC levels above 0.3% requires a prescription to purchase in the state of New Jersey, while CBD does not require a prescription. Hemp with THC levels 0.3% or lower also does not require a prescription.

Is Hemp the same as Cannabis?
Hemp and Cannabis are different breeds of the same plant, in the same way Beagles and Terriers are different breeds of Dog. The key difference between Hemp and Cannabis is that Hemp contains CBD, but practically no THC. (0.30% THC, which is the current legal definition)
How can I take CBD?
Your options for taking CBD depend on what form it’s in. The pure oils can either be rubbed into the skin for a targeted effect, or taken orally (three drops under the tongue is the standard dose) for a whole-body effect. The dried plant can either be eaten or smoked, and the salve is designed to be rubbed topically into the skin.
The method you select will depend on desired effect and personal preference. For stress relief, ingesting it is better for long term relief, and smoking it is better for immediate relief. For pain, rubbing it on is better for targeted relief, while smoking or ingesting is better for internal or full-body relief. For recreational use, smoking or ingesting are both perfectly viable options. The difference is: When ingested, the effect starts in your body and spreads to your head. When smoked, the effect starts in your head and spreads to your body.
If you are currently taking medications or other supplements we do recommend that you consult your physician.

What product should I take for Pain or Headaches?
That depends on what Type of pain you have. For Muscle or Joint pain we recommend our Herbal Salve or Hemp Infused CBD Butter. For Headaches we recommend our CBD Temple Balm. For more general or internal pains, we recommend either our smokeable or indigestible products. (Smokeable for instant relief, indigestible for long-term relief). Smokeables are NOT recommended to treat chest pain.
If you are currently taking medications to manage pain, we recommend consulting your physician before adding CBD to your regiment.

What product should I take for Sleep?
We recommend an indigestible (such as our tincture drops, tea blend, and CBD-infused chocolate nut-butter) rather than a smokeable, and that you take it an hour before going to sleep. For maximum effect, we offer a special “CBD Rest” tincture, mixed with Melatonin (a natural hormone the body uses to regulate sleep cycles). Be aware; the “CBD Rest” is strong stuff, and may cause drowsiness, be sure to use the recommended dosage on the label.
If you are currently taking medications or supplements for sleep, we recommend consulting your physician before adding CBD to your regiment.

What product should I take for Stress or Anxiety?
Treating emotional distress is one of the most effective uses of CBD, and any one of our smokeable or ingestible products should provide relief. However, we do specifically offer a ‘CBD Stress & Anxiety’ blend, tincture drops that provide a mix of CBD and Adaptogens. Adaptogens are a class of plants used in natural medicine to treat stress, dating all the way back to Ancient China.
If you are currently taking medications or supplements to manage stress, anxiety, or depression, we recommend you consult your physician before adding CBD to your regiment.

Can I take CBD if I am pregnant or nursing?
So far, no major scientific studies have been conducted on the effects that CBD has on pregnant or nursing mothers. We’ll update this entry when further research is made available. However, it is probably safer to ingest the CBD than to smoke it, if only for the potentially damaging effects of the Smoke.
Regardless, we recommend that you consult your physician before taking CBD while you are pregnant or nursing.
