CBD F.A.Q.

More customers are becoming familiar with CBD and have tried CBD products, but there’s still a lot of confusion about this naturally-derived ingredient.   It has taken years for CBD to start shucking off the correlation with its psychoactive cousin, THC, and some people still don’t understand the difference.  

THC is found in marijuana, or cannabis plants.  CBD is derived from hemp plants.   While there is some THC in raw hemp, and CBD is found in cannabis, the two plants have been separated both legally and agriculturally.  

What is CBD?  Cannabidiol.  CBD is derived from hemp plants.

Does CBD cause a high?  No.  CBD does not cause a “high”. CBD Isolate, which has no THC, is the type of CBD used in our products. CBD isolate is a crystalline solid or powder comprising pure CBD.  All our CBD patches have certificates of analysis. These are available here [internal link to CoA].

Is CBD legal? In 2018 the Farm Bill made hemp legal in the United States. However, not all states allow the sale of CBD without a prescription. Releef Direct Solutions makes every effort to check the relevant laws regularly and will not ship CBD product to states that do not allow retail sale of CBD. Virtually all states restrict the sale of CBD products to minors. The laws are in flux, theresponsibility for knowing the laws in your state rests with you. 

Will CBD pop a drug test? That depends on the drug test. Some tests are incapable of discerning between CBD and THC. Our products are extensively tested (see above) but we can’t control what tests are being used by your employer.  We hear that more and more employers are willing to be transparent about CBD use and possible drug test interactions.   Ask!
