Frequently Asked Questions
With the growing popularity of CBD in the health/wellness community, the market is being flooded with CBD products. From CBD protein powder, lotions, edibles and intra-oral oil drops, CBD is being sold on every corner of the internet. CBD products are everywhere. Nonetheless, while there is a plethoria of
fantastic cannabis-based health and wellness products available for purchase, the FDA doesn't currently rigorously monitor the distribution of the product. The result is that the consumer purchase of CBD products is totally dependent on the reliability of the manufacturers and distributors marketing the product's sale. In fact, an FDA study conducted around CBD products found that many don't even contain CBD. For the novice consumer purchasing CBD products, knowing the product contents, is of major importance. This FAQ page will provide consumers some guidance in making purchasing decisions on CBD products.
What are the differences between purchasing HEMP Oil versus CBD Oil?
What are the differences between purchasing HEMP Oil versus CBD Oil?
While both HEMP oil and CBD oil are often used interchangeably, there are differences. HEMP oil is derived from the hemp plant, which is a form of cannabis sativa, grown for industrial purposes. The HEMP plant contains low levels of cannabinoids, including the two most common: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). HEMP Oil is only extracted from HEMP plants. In contrast, CBD oil refers to oil that contains a concentration of CBD or cannabidiol. CBD oil is sometimes extracted from HEMP plants, it can also be extracted from other cannabis plants that contain higher levels of THC. It is mostly extracted from HEMP specifically cultivated to be high in CBD. Both HEMP and CBD oil possess enormous health/wellness benefits.
Does either HEMP or CBD cause a "high" or euphoric feeling when taken?
Does either HEMP or CBD cause a "high" or euphoric feeling when taken?
THC is what causes a "high" effect. Cannabis plants used for smoking are bred to be high in THC. In contrast, neither HEMP or CBD produces a "high" effect. In fact, CBD counteracts some of the effects that result from taking THC.
How Can I be sure of the HEMP/CBD product purity?
How Can I be sure of the HEMP/CBD product purity?
Absence a lab report, a label can state just about anything. When making purchasing decisions about HEMP/CBD products, you'll want to only buy from a company that provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA). This provides the proof that an independent third-party lab tested the product that you are about to buy and provides information on the laboratory findings. In addition, I would advise to download a QR reader to your smartphone, as many of the HEMP/CBD products come with a QR label that can be scanned and provide the COA results on demand to your smart phone device. All products sold by Kentucky Natural Healing are shipped with a copy of the COA.
What kind of information can I expect to find on a Certificate of Analysis?
What kind of information can I expect to find on a Certificate of Analysis?
The product's COA will provide product potency informing the consumer on the levels of cannabinoids contained in the product. The COA will also provide information on whether or not there were detected the presence of contaminants or pesticides. In addition, the COA provides information on the presence if any of mold or bacteria in the HEMP that was used to make your CBD product.
How can I be sure of product purity regarding my purchase of HEMP/CBD products.
How can I be sure of product purity regarding my purchase of HEMP/CBD products.
Buy from retailers and distributors who buy domestically sourced HEMP. Know the origin of the HEMP used in your product. Aim for CO2 extracted products. CO2 extraction is nontoxic, opposed to alternate extraction methods that use butane or ethanol where residuals of these chemicals can end up in the final product.
