What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of 100+ natural chemical compounds found in Cannabis sativa, a plant species that includes both hemp and marijuana. CBD is psychoactive (it affects our central nervous system) yet non-intoxicating - hence it won’t make you high.

What’s a cannabinoid?

A cannabinoid is a compound found in both hemp and marijuana (as well as many other plants and humans, too) that can affect appetite, memory, movement, and pain. The two most common are THC and CBD, with CBN and CBG rising in popularity.

Hemp vs. Marijuana?

There is often a lot of confusion around the differences between hemp and marijuana.

Is Hemp-derived CBD legal?

For sure. Hemp-derived CBD products are legal for you to enjoy and can be shipped to nearly any state in the U.S. However, please check your state laws for restrictions, as guidelines and regulations are evolving regularly.

Where does our CBD come from?

Industrial hemp is like any other crop. It is farmed all over the world, including approximately 40 U.S. states. Our CBD is derived exclusively from U.S. hemp that contains less than 0.3% THC. Our goal in sourcing our farms is to find the most consistent, safe, high-quality products at the best prices.

Will CBD Make You High?

As mentioned above, hemp-derived CBD is non-intoxicating and non-psychotropic. This means it does not make you high.

Some of the benefits reported by CBD oil users include improved mood, better sleep, and increased attention and focus!

Can You Pass a Drug Test If You Take CBD?

Most testing only searches for the THC cannabinoid, which is the main psychoactive component of the marijuana plant. Under normal circumstances, our products are not expected to produce a positive result for THC consumption.

How is CBD extracted from hemp?

At Upness, our CBD oil is extracted via CO₂ because it’s a safer, cleaner process that makes the products much higher in quality - and tastier, depending on the product!

What are the types of CBD?

Full spectrum, isolate or broad spectrum?

Are there side effects to taking CBD?

In general, CBD is well tolerated. However, if you are on prescription medication, or have a medical condition, please consult your doctor prior to use.
