Frequently Asked Questions
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of more than a hundred cannabinoids in cannabis. There have been a wide range of benefits and uses discovered for CBD over the years. Because CBD is non-psychoactive, it won’t make you high.
No. All of our products are broad spectrum from industrial hemp. This means they contain 0% THC (the substance in marijuana that gets you high) and will not get you high.
After the US Federal government passed the Farm Bill in December 2018, it was taken off of the list of controlled substances and moved to the regulation of the FDA, instead of the DEA. This makes CBD legal as long as it is sourced from industrial hemp and does not contain more than 0.3% THC.
CBD works through the endocannabinoid system by increasing our naturally occurring endocannabinoids — thus helping the body maintain balance.
From a scientific standpoint, both hemp and marijuana are the same species — Cannabis sativa. The difference is in their chemical makeup. Anything with less than 0.3% THC by dried weight is classified as hemp (non-psychoactive), while anything over this is marijuana (psychoactive). Hemp is more commonly used for making food (hemp seeds), rope, paper, building materials, natural plastics, and most importantly — supplements such as CBD oil. Marijuana is used recreationally, spiritually, or for medical purposes because of its psychoactive effects. At LIFE CBD, we only use hemp plants that have been specifically bred for their high CBD content and lack of psychoactive THC.
There are many different ways you can take CBD — and none of them are more effective than the others. The most popular method is via the mouth or sublingually with the help of oil, capsules, or our favorite — CBD-infused gummies. CBD oils are the most versatile, as you can take your dose directly into the mouth, mix it in with food, or hold it under your tongue to speed up absorption.
The suggested daily serving size of our CBD oil is 5-50 mg CBD per day depending on your weight, and how CBD affects you individually. As a general guideline, you can start at 1-6 mg of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight and increasing that by just a few mg each day until you get the desired results. If you’re using our 250 mg oil, there are a total of 30 drops (servings) with 8 mg dose per drop, while our 500 mg oil has about 16mg per drop with 30 drops per bottle.
Many people tend to confuse CBD-rich hemp extracts with the hemp seed oil you can find at their local grocery store. In truth, these two oils are worlds apart. Standard hemp seed oil is made by cold pressing the seeds of the hemp plant. The oil that’s produced is rich in nutrients like gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), amino acids, and trace minerals. It makes for an excellent source of nutrition — but doesn’t contain CBD or any of the other cannabinoids. CBD hemp oils, on the other hand, are made from the resinous flowers of the female hemp plants (without seeds). The resin is extracted using state of the art extraction methods to collect the cannabinoids, and terpenes naturally found in the plant resin. This is the source of CBD.
We utilize the most advanced isolation processes in the CBD industry to offer a top-grade product to you. This involves taking 100% organic industrial hemp grown in Oregon and using a series of machines and CO2 to extract CBD from the hemp. From there the CBD is combined into our various products for consumption.
