Is industrial hemp the same as marijuana?

No. Even though they are both Cannabis sativa L., Industrial hemp is the non-psychoactive, low-THC, oilseed and fiber varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp has absolutely no use as a recreational drug.

Does CBD contain THC?

All CBD contains trace amounts of THC.

Is hemp/CBD legal in the United States?

More than 30 states currently have laws to provide for hemp production. All our CBD products are legal in all 50 states.

Will taking CBD cause me to fail a drug test?

Taking large amounts of CBD (500mg-1000mg) daily can cause a dip test to register as a false positive. If samples are taken to lab for further testing they will come back with a negative result.

How much CBD should I take?

Recommended dosage is 1mg-200mg per day, depending on the severity of your aliments. Average use of CBD is 25mg, 3 days a week.

What are the benefits of hemp and CBD as food?

Hemp seed is a highly nutritious source of protein and essential fatty oils. Many populations have grown hemp for its seed — most of them eat it as `gruel’ which is a lot like oatmeal. The leaves can be used as roughage. Hemp seeds do not contain any THC and they do not get you `high.’

Hemp seed protein closely resembles protein as it is found in the human blood. It is fantastically easy to digest, and many patients who have trouble digesting food are given hemp seed by their doctors. Hemp seed was once called `edestine’ and was used by scientists as the model for vegetable protein.

Hemp seed oil provides the human body with essential fatty acids. Hemp seed is the only seed which contains these oils with almost no saturated fat. As a supplement to the diet, these oils can reduce the risk of heart disease. It is because of these oils that birds will live much longer if they eat hemp seed.

With hemp seed, a vegan or vegetarian can survive and eat virtually no saturated fats. One handful of hemp seed per day will supply adequate protein and essential oils for an adult.
