Frequently Asked Questions About CBD
What is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in hemp plants. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won't get you high. CBD interacts with your body's endocannabinoid system to support overall wellness, relaxation, and balance.
Is CBD legal in the UK?
Yes, CBD is completely legal in the UK as long as it contains less than 0.2% THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis). All our CBD products comply with UK regulations and are sourced from reputable, licensed suppliers.
What are the benefits of CBD?
Many people use CBD to support relaxation, promote better sleep, manage everyday stress, and support overall wellness. While research is ongoing, CBD has shown promise in supporting a balanced lifestyle and general wellbeing.
How do I use CBD products?
CBD comes in various forms, each with different uses:
- CBD Oils & Tinctures: Place drops under your tongue and hold for 60-90 seconds before swallowing
- CBD Gummies: Chew and swallow like regular gummies - perfect for on-the-go
- CBD Capsules: Swallow with water like any supplement
- CBD Vapes: Inhale for fast-acting effects
How much CBD should I take?
CBD dosage varies by individual. We recommend starting with a low dose (10-20mg) and gradually increasing until you find what works best for you. Always follow the dosage instructions on your specific product and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
Will CBD show up on a drug test?
Standard drug tests screen for THC, not CBD. However, some CBD products contain trace amounts of THC (under 0.2% in the UK). While unlikely, it's theoretically possible for very high doses to trigger a positive result. If you're subject to drug testing, consider THC-free CBD isolate products.
Are there any side effects of CBD?
CBD is generally well-tolerated. Some people may experience mild side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, or changes in appetite. If you're taking medication, consult your doctor before using CBD as it may interact with certain medications.
What's the difference between CBD oil, CBD gummies, and CBD capsules?
CBD Oil: Fast-acting when taken sublingually, customizable dosing, natural hemp taste
CBD Gummies: Pre-measured doses, great taste, discreet and portable, slower absorption
CBD Capsules: Precise dosing, tasteless, convenient for daily routines
What's the difference between Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum, and CBD Isolate?
Full Spectrum CBD: Contains all cannabinoids including trace THC (under 0.2%), terpenes, and flavonoids for the "entourage effect"
Broad Spectrum CBD: Contains multiple cannabinoids and terpenes but zero THC
CBD Isolate: Pure CBD only, no other cannabinoids - ideal for those who want to avoid all THC
How long does CBD take to work?
Effects vary by product type:
- CBD Vapes: 5-15 minutes
- CBD Oils (sublingual): 15-45 minutes
- CBD Gummies & Capsules: 30-90 minutes
How should I store CBD products?
Store CBD products in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep oils tightly sealed and gummies in their original packaging. Proper storage helps maintain potency and freshness.
Can I take CBD with other medications?
CBD can interact with certain medications. If you're taking prescription medications, especially blood thinners, antidepressants, or medications with a grapefruit warning, consult your healthcare provider before using CBD.
Are your CBD products tested?
Yes! All our CBD products come from reputable brands that provide third-party lab testing to verify CBD content, confirm THC levels are within legal limits, and ensure products are free from contaminants.
What strength CBD should I choose?
Beginners should start with lower strengths (100-500mg per bottle). Regular users may prefer medium strengths (500-1000mg), while experienced users might opt for higher strengths (1000mg+). Consider your needs and start low.
