CBD: Key Facts You Need to Know

One of the most popular trends in alternative medicine right now is the industry of CBD oil. The industry is booming and consumers are all dying to get their hands on the newest product that will take their health to the next level.

CBD Does Not Get You High

Contrary to what many of the adversaries to CBD oil might say, CBD is not the component of cannabis that has any sort of effect on your awareness. THC is the component that will create an altered experience and none of the credible CBD products are currently infused with any sort of THC.

CBD and Hemp are Different

These two types of health products are actually derived from two different plants altogether. Hemp oil is actually drawn out of the seeds of a hemp plant. CBD oil, on the other hand, is a cannabidiol that is combined with other types of “base” oils.

CBD Is Not Illegal, but It is Not Fully Legal

In 2018, there was a bill that allowed hemp products to be legally sold across the united states. Because of this, CBD oil that is derived from these plants is not a controlled substance anymore which means that it is not illegal to have it. So long as the CBD oil does not contain more than the legal amount of THC by the weight.

The FDA is also not ready to legalize the marketing aspect of CBD oil as it relates to companies making claims about health benefits. This is largely because the FDA does not have any access to data and research about the potential benefits or downfalls to taking the various treatments for ailments of any kind. CBD is only for sale to the public in certain states, so check the rules for where you live. 

CBD Is Not Addictive

A major concern about any new form of medication is whether or not the medication is addictive or habit-forming. There is no evidence that CBD is a substance that causes addiction in people who use it. 

Understand the Product and Brand

Because the FDA is not currently involved in setting the standards for the quality of CBD oil sold to various consumers, it is important that as a consumer you are aware of what you are buying.

When available, choose CBD brands that have completed verified testing through a third-party laboratory to ensure the quality of the product. ( At Fiddlers Green, we carry quality brands such as New Age Hemp)
