Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
No! CBD does not cause a psychoactive effect like its close and often confused relative, THC.
The human body produces certain cannabinoids on its own. It also has two receptors for cannabinoids, called the CB1 receptors and CB2 receptors.
The CB1 receptors in the brain deal with coordination and movement, pain, emotions, and mood, thinking, appetite, and memories, and other functions. THC attaches to these receptors. This is why it can causes psychoactive feelings, paranoia, increased appetite and mood swings.
CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system. They affect inflammation and pain.
Researchers once believed that CBD attached to these CB2 receptors, but it now appears that CBD does not attach directly to either receptor.
Instead, it seems to direct the body to use more of its own cannabinoids.
Possibly. CBD can cause the slowing of absorption and metabolism in certain medications. We always recommend consulting with your physician prior to partaking in any medicinal herbs or supplements.
Highly unlikely.
“To hit 50 ng/mL of THC (legal cut off for a urine drug screen), you’d probably have to consume upwards of 2,000 mg of CBD products that contain 0.3% or less of THC, which is much higher than the average person is likely to take.”
The most common types of CBD are Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and CBD Isolate.
Full Spectrum: refers to cannabis-derived from the whole plant that contains CBD and other phytocannabinoids such as THC, CBN, THCA, CBC, and CBG. By law, CBD products must contain 0.3% of THC or less
Broad Spectrum: contains all phytocannabinoids in the plant but does not contain any detectable amount of THC
CBD Isolate: a purified CBD molecule; does not contain other phytocannabinoids like full or broad spectrum
If a drug test is your concern, consider indulging in broad spectrum or isolate products.

“Hemp CBD is federally legal in all 50 states. In 2018, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (aka the Farm Bill) legalized CBD that is derived from hemp and contains no more than 0.3% THC (by dry weight). CBD that comes from the marijuana plant remains illegal under the Controlled Substances Act since the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug.” Please educate yourself on your local, state laws.
