What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its counterpart THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn't give users the feeling of being “high”. CBD does interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various functions, including mood, sleep, appetite, and pain perception.
Types of CBD
In the consumer products market, you will find 3 primary types of CBD:
CBD Isolate:
CBD Isolate is a pure and crystalline form of cannabidiol that is isolated from the cannabis plant and refined to remove all other cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant material. This can be achieved using a number of extraction and purification methods.
Broad Spectrum CBD:
Broad Spectrum CBD is achieved using an extraction method that leaves many of the plant’s cannabinoids, terpenes, and therapeutic benefits intact. However, Broad Spectrum CBD has had all THC removed.
Full Spectrum CBD:
Like Broad Spectrum CBD, Full Spectrum CBD products contain a full range of therapeutic cannabinoids and terpenes, but Full Spectrum products will contain trace amounts of THC, yet still less than the federally legal limit of 0.3%.
Does CBD Show up on a Drug Test?
This really depends on the type of CBD you consume, and how much of it you are consuming. Full Spectrum CBD does contain THC, so it’s likely that you’d fail a drug test if you consume it.
IS CBD SAFE?
Yes, generally speaking, CBD is safe to consume for most people. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning you can’t get too high. There are limited side effects, and the most important thing is that you’re buying CBD products from trusted retailers.

Is CBD Legal?
The legal status of CBD varies from country to country and even within different states or regions. In the US, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation and sale of hemp-derived CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC federally. However, it's essential to check local laws and regulations regarding CBD in your area before purchasing or using any CBD products, as the landscape for hemp-derived products seems to be changing on a constant basis.
Where Can I Buy CBD?
These days, CBD products are widely available, both online and in physical retail stores. In most places, a store does not need a specific license to sell CBD products, and you won’t need a prescription or doctor recommendation.
When shopping for CBD, it's essential to choose reputable brands that are transparent about quality and safety. Look for products that provide links to third-party lab testing, verifying potency and purity. Additionally, consider factors such as product variety, extraction methods, and customer reviews when selecting the right CBD product for you.
Potential CBD Benefits
Since the FDA has not approved CBD, companies manufacturing CBD products cannot target specific illnesses or conditions, or even make statements about how the product may help with any health related condition. With that said, research into the potential health benefits of CBD is ongoing, with promising findings across various medical conditions.
CBD has been studied for its potential role in relieving pain, reducing inflammation, alleviating anxiety and depression symptoms, improving sleep quality, and even supporting neurological health. While more clinical trials are needed to fully understand CBD's therapeutic effects, preliminary studies suggest that incorporating CBD into your wellness routine can be beneficial for a number of situations.
Does CBD Get You High?
No. Unlike the widely known THC or Delta 9 THC, CBD is not a psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it doesn’t interact with the parts of the brain responsible for intoxicating effects of cannabis.
The Future of CBD
While CBD products in the market today may be a bit more limited than during the 2018 CBD boom, there are now much higher quality brands and products available to consumers, and the potential for the CBD market to grow exponentially is measurable. As interest in CBD continues to grow, so does the research exploring its potential uses. We predict a few different things happening in the coming years.
First, medical research will continue to advance, expanding knowledge about CBD and ultimately leading to better products. This will continue to drive innovation in the market.
Regulatory or legal clarity, and the public knowledge of legality, will push the integration of CBD into health and wellness routines. This mainstream adoption in the US will very likely signal international markets to expand access to cannabinoids like CBD as well.
