FAQs

What is the difference between hemp and cannabis?

Cannabis and hemp are both classified as Cannabis sativa. However, there are some key differences between the two. Cannabis (aka marijuana) usually refers to the variety containing high levels of Delta 9 THC, the molecule responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis use.

Hemp refers to the varieties that contain very little THC, but high concentrations of CBD. Hemp also has many industrial uses, including textiles, paper, food, and building materials.

The US considers hemp and all hemp derivatives with less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Anything above the 0.3% mark is legally considered cannabis.  All of our products are made with hemp and comply with the 2018 Farm Bill. 

Will I fail a drug test?

If you are subject to drug testing, we recommend our topicals to enjoy hemp with peace of mind. Ingesting any hemp-derived THC product, including Delta 8, Delta 9, and THCa, will cause you to fail a drug test.

Similarly, you may also want to avoid ingestible, full-spectrum CBD oil. Full-spectrum CBD contains trace amounts of THC. Although it is not enough to cause psychoactive effects, it could show up on a drug test. Opt for broad spectrum CBD instead,

Remember, some drug tests are more sensitive than others, and everyone metabolizes THC differently.

How do I dose?

When it comes to dosing cannabinoid products, it's important to start low and go slow, especially if you are new to using them or have a low tolerance. Check out our blog on how to dose for each consumption method here.

What is a COA?

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an important document about the contents and quality of a hemp product. It shows proof that each product has been lab tested for purity and potency. Check out our blog on some key things to look for when reading a COA.

What is Delta 9 THC?

Delta 9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring compound called a cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp. It is the primary intoxicating compound associated with cannabis (aka marijuana). 

When the concentration of Delta 9 THC in hemp is under 0.3% on a dry weight basis, it is compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized hemp and all hemp-derivatives.

In states without access to medical or recreational marijuana, individuals can legally purchase and use hemp-derived Delta 9 THC products as long as the products meet the legal requirements. Keep in mind that legal requirements may differ by state.

What is Delta 8 THC?

Delta 8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a naturally occurring compound called a cannabinoid in cannabis and hemp plants. It has a similar chemical structure to Delta 9 THC, (the primary intoxicating compound in cannabis) and shares many of the same benefits and psychoactive effects. While the high is mild compared to Delta 9, new users should exercise caution when dosing.

People use Delta 8 to promote overall relaxation and enjoyment. Some may also use it for anxiety, pain, and nausea. Because hemp-derived Delta 8 is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, it is a great option for people living in states without access to legal cannabis or medical marijuana.

All of our Delta 8 THC is extracted from hemp and is legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. 

What is THCa?

THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a naturally occurring compound called a cannabinoid in cannabis and hemp plants. THCa is a precursor to THC, the psychoactive compound that gives cannabis its euphoric effects. In its raw form, THCa is non-psychoactive, meaning that if ingested, it will not cause a high. However, when THCa flower is heated and smoked, it undergoes a process called decarboxylation, which converts it into THC to produce a strong psychoactive effect. 

THCa may also provide additional benefits such as pain relief, relaxation, and stress reduction.

Our THCa flower is compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill.

What is CBD?

CBD (cannabidiol), is a naturally occurring compound called a cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp plants. CBD does not cause a “high.” Instead it makes most people feel more at ease to overcome daily challenges and enjoy pleasant moments. 

CBD interacts with the body’s Endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain, inflammation, mood, appetite, sleep, and immune function. Research has suggested that CBD may have therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and anti-anxiety effects.

Full spectrum CBD contains other beneficial plant compounds such as terpenes and less than 0.3% THC to produce an overall greater result called the 'entourage effect.'

What is CBG?

CBG (cannabigerol) is a naturally occurring compound called a cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp. It is a minor cannabinoid, meaning it occurs in low levels.  It is often referred to as the "mother cannabinoid" because it is the precursor to all other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD.

CBG is non-intoxicating and has been found to offer potential therapeutic benefits. CBG interacts with the body’s Endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain, inflammation, mood, appetite, sleep, and immune function. Some people use CBG to support overall wellness, while others use it to support specific aspects of their health. 

Research has suggested that CBG may be beneficial for supporting healing immune function, eye health, and brain health due its potential neuroprotective properties.  

What is CBN?

CBN (cannabinol) is a naturally occurring compound called a cannabinoid in cannabis and hemp plants. It is a minor cannabinoid, meaning it occurs in very low levels. It is also a byproduct of THC, meaning that CBN does not form until the THC has aged or been exposed to heat.

CBN is mildly psychoactive with sedative properties. Research suggests that it may have potential therapeutic benefits. The most notable benefit is the impact it’s shown to have on improving sleep quality. It is also being studied for its anti-inflammatory properties and as an appetite stimulant.

Like all cannabinoids, CBN interacts with the body’s Endocannabinoid system, which regulates various physiological processes such as mood, appetite, and sleep.
