Everything You Need To Know About CBD

Q & A provided by: GoGreen Hemp

I have heard a lot of buzz around CBD but what is it really?  

Cannabidiol, also most commonly referred to as CBD, is a chemical compound found in both cannabis and hemp plants. CBD is much more prevalent in hemp rather than cannabis. Hemp is usually filled with large amounts of CBD while on the other hand cannabis is full of a different chemical compound, THC.

Will THC get me high? 

No CBD will not get you intoxicated, especially those with zero THC in them, such as isolate or broad spectrum products. 

Is CBD Legal? 

Yes CBD is indeed legal on the federal level if it complies with the Farm Bill of 2018 and does not contain more than .3% THC.  

Do I need a medical marijuana card to purchase CBD? 

You do no need a medical card to purchase CBD products. 

What can CBD be used for? 

CBD can be used to help deal with various issues from anxiety, pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia and many more. The benefits of this incredible plant are truly endless. 

Will I fail a drug test taking CBD? 

It all depends on what type of CBD you are taking. Here is a short breakdown on the different type of CBD out in the marketplace

Isolate – Hemp-derived CBD isolate is cannabinoids in its purest form possible. CBD isolates are made by isolating CBD and then refining it to a high potent single compound product. This results in an almost pure dose of CBD. A pure dose sounds amazing but isolate CBD misses out on the benefits that the other plant compounds provide. 

Full Spectrum – Full-spectrum CBD, also referred to as whole plant CBD, contains everything that naturally occurs within the hemp plant. All of the plant parts which include terpenes, flavonoids, phytocannabinoids (CBD, THC vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and all other phytonutrients are present.

Broad Spectrum – Broad Spectrum CBD is relatively simple. It is simply Full Spectrum CBD without the THC. Broad Spectrum CBD is put through an additional extraction process to isolate and remove the THC while preserving the other natural cannabinoids and terpenes. Broad Spectrum CBD lacks THC entirely. With Broad Spectrum CBD, you get the “best of both worlds”. 

Broad Spectrum and Isolate products will not cause you to fail a drug test, however Full Spectrum can potentially trigger a failed drug test. 

I keep seeing CBD products on Amazon, are these products real? 

One of the most common questions we receive is that they found CBD on amazon but it did not work… That’s because Amazon does not allow CBD on their platform at this time and all products labeled as such are Hemp Seed Oil with little to no medicinal benefits. Buyers be extremely aware when purchasing “CBD Oil” from Amazon

Can I bring CBD to the airport? 

Yes, TSA does allow CBD derived from hemp that complies with all federal laws. 

In what forms does CBD come in? 

CBD can be added to nearly every product, from generic cbd oil drops taken sublingually, cbd edibles, beauty products, cbd topicals, even your four legged pet friends can benefit from CBD products such as CBD dog chews or tinctures. 

With so many companies to choose from how do I make sure I choose the right one? 

We also urge customers to do their research. Also make sure your CBD products are made with USA grown hemp as there are many companies importing CBD from Europe and claiming it is made in USA. One way to ensure that your CBD is clean is to view full panel testing which will show no pesticides, microbials or heavy metals. This is necessary to make sure you are consuming safe CBD products. A full panel testing can be viewed at this link

Always make sure that the products are third party tested by batch to ensure you are indeed getting the amount of CBD you paid for, if you cannot find lab results anywhere on a website we strongly urge you to not purchase the products. 

How long has the company been in business and does the brand have a good reputation for both quality products and customer support. 

Where can I get CBD products? 

CBD can be found in various retailers throughout the country from vitamin shops, wellness centers, pharmacies, chiropractors, head shops, dispensaries and online.
