When introduced to CBD oil, it is normal to question if it has THC—the psychotropic compound of the cannabis plant. While hemp-derived CBD oil is non-intoxicating, the answer to, “does CBD oil have THC?” necessitates a conversation. To understand the relationship between CBD oil and THC, we must discuss a few topics in further detail.

We understand that it would be easiest for you to read a simple “yes” or “no”. However, the answer to this question is dependent upon the product. Don’t let this deter you from reading on! We encourage you to learn about CBD oil and THC before deciding whether a CBD product is the right fit for you.

As we move forward, it is important to note that we are discussing CBD oil derived from hemp. Hemp is a cannabis plant separate from marijuana that is legal in the United States.

Does CBD Oil Have THC?

CBD and THC are compounds of cannabis called cannabinoids. The two compounds have unique effects, and both provide benefit. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating. In fact, CBD interacts with our endocannabinoid system to negate the psychotropic effects of THC.

CBD does not contain THC, as they are separate compounds. CBD oil, on the other hand, may contain trace amounts of THC. Here’s why.

CBD Oil: An Extract of Cannabis

CBD oil is an extract of hemp: a cannabis plant. The cannabis plant contains over 85 cannabinoids, including CBD and THC. A full-spectrum hemp oil extract includes all the available terpenes, cannabinoids, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and phytonutrients from the hemp plant. Full-spectrum hemp oil benefits from the synergistic properties of these plant components.

Since all available cannabinoids are present, a trace amount of THC can be present in hemp oil. To legally be considered a product of hemp, a product must have less than 0.3% THC. This is a negligible amount that has no intoxicating effects. With the 2018 Farm Bill recently passing, all hemp products with less than the 0.3% THC are legal, along with CBD.

THC-Free CBD Products

If the trace amount of THC is of concern to you, there are THC-free CBD products available. Commonly, these products are made with a CBD isolate, which is a pure CBD extract. These products do not provide the synergistic benefits of the whole plant but contain no levels of THC. Be on the lookout for our new Tasty Drops made with CBD isolate. Coming soon!

Once we experience the benefit of hemp oil, we’re eager to share our knowledge with, well, just about everyone. We want the best for our loved ones and can see the potential hemp oil could offer them. However, recommending hemp oil isn’t as easy as, say, suggesting a new restaurant. Not only are we dealing with a natural supplement, we are also working within the cannabis space, which comes with its own obstacles. Although a non-psychoactive variety of cannabis, hemp can still carry the stigma of marijuana.

While enthusiastic about hemp oil, we may be unsure of how to suggest it to others. For those interested in introducing hemp oil to family and friends, here are some tips for having a conversation about hemp.

Start with Your Story

When having a conversation about hemp oil, one of your best tools is your own experience. Telling your story helps you to connect with the person you are speaking with. People are receptive to personal experiences and are more likely to be open to a product if they see positive results in others. By being honest about your journey, you build trust with your listener.

Provide the Right Information

The first thing to expect when introducing a loved one to hemp oil is questions and a lot of them. Someone who is unfamiliar with hemp is bound to inquire about the efficacy and legality. When speaking with someone entirely new to hemp oil, initial confusion is to be expected. Think back to your first introduction to hemp. What are some of the questions that you had?

We want to make sure we are equipped with the right information to answer questions correctly. We suggest going over the basics with a reputable online source to confirm that the answers you have are accurate. If you need, bring the documents with you to share. Sometimes others explain information better than we can.

A few questions to be prepared for: what is hemp? Will it get me high? Is it legal?

And most commonly: how will it help me?

Talking About the Effects of Hemp Oil

Hemp oil is being studied for several therapeutic benefits. With research, we can uncover the effects of hemp oil. We encourage you to find reliable sources regarding the current research of hemp oil.

It’s helpful to remember that we’re not doctors (well, not all of us are) and we don’t have the answers to everything. It is okay to admit where your knowledge ends.  It is not our responsibility to treat or diagnose a specific condition, nor should we. Our goal to start a conversation and answer questions to the best of our ability. If a loved one is considering taking CBD, we should encourage them to talk with a physician to discover a proper routine. Be prepared to lead your friend or family member to the right sources for more information.

Be Understanding of the Situation

The person you are conversing with may be going through a difficult time. We need to be aware of the circumstances and match our tone to the situation. Let the person know you are coming from a place of compassion. Listen attentively and be sympathetic.

Prepare for a “No”

Be prepared to hear a definite “no” right away. Not everyone will be willing to try hemp oil. For some, a natural solution may not hold appeal; for others, the relation between hemp and marijuana may be a deterrent. A person is not wrong for declining to try hemp oil and we should respect the decision of others.

At the same time, also prepare for a “yes”. If encouraged by your conversation, the next step for your loved one is to find a hemp oil product that works well for them. Remember, everybody is different and what works for you may not be the best option for someone else. Lead the person to high-quality sources that can assist them in finding the right product.

Hemp oil has had a positive impact on many and the information surrounding it continues to expand. If you have any questions regarding hemp oil, we encourage you to check out our blog and reach out to our knowledgeable team.

Between personal testimonies and current research, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the compound CBD. Many are buzzing over the potential benefits of this compound, including the scientific community. After hearing about CBD on the news or from a friend, you may be interested in learning more for yourself. Here are the basics to get you started:

CBD is a Cannabis Compound

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is an active compound found prevalently in the cannabis plant.

Cannabis is a plant category that includes hemp and marijuana, which means CBD can be derived from both hemp and marijuana. Here at Tasty Hemp Oil, we’re focused on CBD derived from hemp: an industrial plant that is non-psychoactive.

CBD is a Non-Psychoactive Cannabinoid

CBD is a cannabinoid, which is the term for a compound that interacts with our cannabinoid receptors. CBD is not the only cannabinoid found in cannabis; in fact, over 100 cannabinoids have been discovered so far. Unlike THC, which is also a cannabinoid, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning that it will not create a high. In fact, CBD is known to cancel out the effects of THC.

CBD Interacts with the Endocannabinoid System

Interestingly enough, we also produce cannabinoids on our own, which are called endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids and cannabinoid receptors make up the endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for a variety of biological functions. Most importantly, it assists in keeping our body in homeostasis.

CBD interacts with our endocannabinoid system similarly to cannabinoids we produce on our own. Preliminary research shows the potential of CBD to assist the endocannabinoid system in keeping our body in balance.

CBD is Legal in the United States

With the recent 2018 Farm Bill passing, CBD is 100% legal in all 50 states. By taking hemp (where CBD is derived from) off of the controlled substances list, farmers throughout the United States can grow the plant by following the guidelines of the Department of Agriculture.

CBD tinctures are a popular method of CBD consumption. They are a convenient and affordable option that is easy to incorporate into a daily routine. But are tinctures the right fit for you? Learn more about CBD tinctures to discover the benefits of this CBD supplement.

What is a CBD Tincture?

A CBD tincture is a liquid hemp oil supplement. Raw hemp oil is combined with other oils and flavoring for consistency and taste. Here at Tasty Hemp Oil, we use only natural additives such as MCT oil, organic sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, and terpenes.

How Do You Take a Tincture?

A tincture is taken sublingually (under the tongue). To use the Tasty Hemp Oil tincture, use the dropper top to pull up the desired amount of liquid. Once you have drawn the liquid, disperse it under your tongue. Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds (or longer, if desired) and then swallow the remaining liquid. It’s as simple as that!

How Much CBD Should I Take?

Serving sizes are different for each person. To learn more about serving sizes, visit this blog.

How Does a Tincture Work?

By holding the liquid under the tongue, we allow the capillaries, or tiny blood vessels, under the tongue to transfer active ingredients directly into the bloodstream. This method allows CBD to bypass the digestive system and processing of the liver and quickly enter the bloodstream.

What are the Benefits of Using a CBD Tincture?

With a tincture, you are able to disperse a very specific amount of supplement. The dropper top makes it easy to adjust your serving size based on your preferences. Unlike other methods of consumption, small amounts can be added or decreased from your routine to create a custom serving size. For this reason, tinctures are a great option for those who’d like to start with a small serving of CBD.

Tinctures are can also replace capsules for those who have difficulty swallowing. They have simple instructions and are easy to take. Since they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, tinctures are fast acting. For those who need quick results, a tincture may be the preferred method of consumption.

Additionally, flavored tinctures offer a tasty alternative to raw hemp oil. Tasty Drops come in four flavors and a natural option for a suitable fit for every palate.

Is a CBD Tincture a Good Fit for You?

Tinctures have remained a best-seller and come highly recommended. If you are looking for a fast-acting and easy CBD supplement, a tincture may be a good fit for you. If you have any additional questions about CBD tinctures, check out our blog or give us a call at 616-863-2222.

There are many people who take their daily supplement in the form of a gummy. Gummy bears are made in an assortment of fruit flavors and are a tasty part of your nutritional routine. Nutritional gummies aren’t limited to kids, either. Browse the supplements section of your local grocer and you’ll find a myriad of adult dailies available in the form of a gummy.

CBD Gummy Bears

We’ve noted the popularity of taking supplements in the form of a gummy. At Tasty Hemp Oil, we want to provide the products that our customers are looking for. For that reason, we’ve introduced an exciting new product: CBD gummy bears.

Each Tasty Hemp Oil CBD gummy bear provides 25mg of hemp-derived CBD. The bottle comes with 40 bears in an assortment of fruit flavors. Take 1-2 of these gummies daily as a nutritional supplement.

CBD gummy bears are simple and enjoyable to take. They have a pleasant taste rather than the hemp taste that is common in other hemp-derived CBD products. These gummies can be chewed and immediately swallowed: no waiting is needed!

Why Take CBD Gummies?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found naturally in the hemp plant. This compound has been shown to interact positively with our endocannabinoid system, which maintains homeostasis in the body. CBD is a nutritional supplement that promotes an overall wellbeing. CBD gummies are an easy and delicious way to take a daily amount of CBD.

It’s important to note that all supplements should be stored out of the reach of children. While there are no known side effects of ingesting too much CBD, these gummies should be taken by adults only and in accordance with the serving size.

You may be familiar with the laws in California and Colorado that prohibit the sale of THC gummies that come in the form of fruit, humans, or animals. These laws were set into place to protect children from accidentally ingesting THC. These gummies are made from hemp derived CBD and contain a negligible amount of THC. For that reason, these CBD gummy bears are legal to produce and purchase. These gummies are non-psychoactive and do not produce any sort of high.

 

CBD gummy bears are an enjoyable source of CBD and we’re excited to have them as a part of our product line. Shop our CBD gummy bears now!
