KNOWLEDGE CENTER

CBD, short for "cannabidiol" is one of many cannabinoids, or molecules, produced by the cannabis family. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the primary psychoactive element in marijuana), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn't have a strong effect on cognitive brain activity and doesn't cause the "high" associated with marijuana. CBD can be consumed in different forms, such as tinctures, topicals, creams, vape juices, capsule/gel tablets, and more. Consumers use CBD for many reasons. Some of the most common are pain relief, stress relief, relaxation, and sleep support. Although the effects and potential benefits of CBD are still being researched, and these statements have not been evaluated nor confirmed by the FDA, many consumers consider CBD a helpful remedy that adds to their daily lives.

Our bodies and needs are unique, which makes cannabis-related consumption difficult to pinpoint. Moreover, there are currently no official intake recommendations. Regarding the strength you should consume, it's always best to start as low as possible and adjust to preference over time. Although it may take some time to find that comfortable "sweet spot" with your consumption levels, starting low and monitoring your needs is the best method while we wait for formal regulatory guidelines.

Our Full Spectrum CBD products contain trace amounts of THC and related cannabinoids (<%0.3). Our Full Spectrum CBD comes from legal hemp. These trace amounts are below the federal legal limit, but it's important to note that they may still appear on a drug test. If this is a concern, we also carry Broad Spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate, which are THC free.

Broad Spectrum CBD is an oil based hemp-derived distillate. Broad Spectrum CBD contains a variety of cannabinoids that are naturally occurring within the hemp plant itself. It does not contain THC. This makes it ideal for consumers and manufacturers who want to experience some of the entourage effect without traces amounts of THC. The entourage effect is ultimately all the cannabinoids of the hemp plant working together cooperatively, providing the best consumer experience. Since our Broad Spectrum CBD is oil based and can only be diluted in oils, it's important to know that this product is not recommended for vaping.

Full Spectrum CBD is an oil based hemp-derived distillate that contains a large majority of hemp's naturally occurring properties. Full Spectrum CBD is known to contain the most cannabinoids as well as natural terpenes and trace amounts of THC (<%0.3).

Since Full Spectrum contains more cannabinoids, consumers are better able to experience the "entourage effect." The entourage effect is a combination of all the plant's properties working together within the body. Unlike Broad Spectrum CBD, Full Spectrum CBD contains trace amounts of THC (below the federally legal limit) as well as cannabinoids similar to THC that may cause mild psychoactive/sedative effects. 

It is important to note that due to these trace amounts of THC and related cannabinoids, it's been reported that some consumers of Full spectrum CBD have failed drug tests. Although it depends on the testing standards, if you're trying to avoid having any trace of THC or THC-related cannabinoids in your system, it's recommended that you use Broad Spectrum or CBD Isolate. 

Since Full Spectrum CBD is oil based and can only be diluted in oils, this product is not recommended for vaping.

CBD Isolate is a white powder-based material that is solely isolated CBD and no other naturally occurring hemp properties. Although it does not contain any other active cannabinoids, it is great for anyone looking to manufacture or consume pure CBD products.  Unlike Broad Spectrum CBD and Full Spectrum CBD, Isolate is soluble in both water or oil due to its versatile powder form. CBD Isolate is commonly used in food, drinks, creams, topicals, capsules, and also for the steadily growing market of CBD vape juice. Since CBD Isolate is simply CBD isolated by itself, the consumer will not be able to experience the entourage effect. The entourage effect occurs when multiple cannabinoids are active at once, creating a cooperative effect that enhances the consumer experience. Although the entourage effect is not present, the high concentration of CBD may still be beneficial. Many consumers report similar relief and experiences to other forms of CBD.

This question can be tricky due to the testing standards that are taking place. The general rule of thumb though is to consume only Broad Spectrum CBD and CBD isolate, as these two do not contain THC or related cannabinoids. It's important to know that Full Spectrum CBD does contain trace amounts of THC (<%0.3) and THC-related cannabinoids (below the federally legal limit). Full Spectrum, and depending on the source, even Broad Spectrum, may still appear on a drug test. This is why many companies and consumers prefer to use CBD isolate or a true Broad Spectrum CBD. Please keep in mind that the testing standards and sensitivity of the drug test play a major role in whether or not Full Spectrum CBD will appear on the test as well.

Vegetable glycerin, or glycerol, is a clear, odorless liquid produced from plant oils, typically palm oil, soy or coconut oil. Vegetable glycerin has a number of valuable applications which include cosmetic products and foods. Its texture is denser than propylene glycol and it provides a thick cloud of vapor.

Propylene glycol is a water-based, clear, odorless liquid. It is tasteless and found in everyday products from food to shampoos. It is thinner than vegetable glycerin and provides the "throat-hit" that smokers look for, similar to tobacco.

E-liquid Nicotine is a toxic, colorless or faint yellowish oily liquid and is highly addictive. People who regularly consume nicotine and then suddenly stop, experience withdrawal symptoms which may include cravings, a sense of emptiness, anxiety, depression, moodiness, irritability, and inattentiveness.

Nicotine acquired its name from the tobacco plant, Nicotiana Tabacum, which in turn is named after the French ambassador to Portugal, Jean Nicot de Villemain. He was known for sending tobacco and seeds to Paris in 1560 and for promoting its medicinal use. E-liquid Nicotine was not isolated from the tobacco plant until 1828 and was then considered to be a poison. 

A: During inhalation, e-liquid nicotine causes the body to release epinephrine, which is the "fight or flight" hormone. Epinephrine, what we know as adrenaline, makes the heart rate increase and raises blood pressure causing the body to become alert. Just 10 seconds after the initial inhale, nicotine is absorbed through the skin and mucosal linings in the nose, mouth, and lungs and travels through the bloodstream to the brain. Nicotine only stays in the human body for a few hours. E-liquid nicotine creates a calm, relaxed and stress-reduced state, but it also impacts the body's glucose metabolism, which can lead to hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, conditions associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance increases the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease.

Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and skin. E-liquid nicotine is considered a poison and is quickly absorbed through the skin. If any of these areas comes in direct contact with the e-liquid nicotine, rinse immediately and thoroughly. Do not hesitate to call poison control at: (800) 222-1222.

Children and pets are very susceptible to the risk of e-liquid nicotine poisoning. Lock e-liquid nicotine away where children and pets cannot access the bottles. Even the smallest dose could be enough to make a small child feel ill. If the smallest dose could cause serious harm to a small child.

It is best to store in a cool, dark and dry place. Try to avoid direct sunlight and always tighten the cap. Sunlight and air exposure can reduce e-liquid nicotine levels at a faster rate.

Never pour e-liquid nicotine down a sink or drain. It is harmful to aquatic life and there is a risk of groundwater contamination. There are two acceptable and easy ways of ensuring a safe disposal: Cat owners, place moisture absorbing kitty litter into a sealable plastic bag, pour in the liquid, seal it up and toss into the trash. A second option would be to use filtered ground coffee in place of kitty litter. 

If you are disposing on a large scale then it is recommended to contact your location waste management company.

GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by the US Food and Drug Administration under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (See Chapter IV for food, and Chapter V, Subchapters  A, B, C, D, and E for drugs and devices.) These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of drugs, medical devices, some food, and blood take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors.  This, in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure, fines, and jail time.

GMP regulations address issues including record keeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner which makes sense for each individual business.

GMP is also sometimes referred to as "cGMP". The "c" stands for "current," reminding manufacturers that they must employ technologies and systems which are up-to-date in order to comply with the regulation. Systems and equipment used to prevent contamination, mixups, and errors, which may have been "top-of-the-line" 20 years ago, maybe less than adequate by today's standards.
