Frequently Asked Questions

Cannabidiol is a phytocannabinoid discovered in 1940. It is one of some 113 identified cannabinoids in cannabis plants and accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract.

CBD stands for cannabidiol. Cannabidiol (CBD) is part of a class of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the hemp plant.

The two most well-known cannabinoid compounds are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, and cannabidiol (CBD), which makes up about 40% of the plant resin extract and is non-psychoactive, meaning it cannot cause a “high.”

No, unlike THC, CBD does not produce the psychoactive effect that is commonly associated with marijuana, they are distinctly different substances. THC is the molecule that binds to the receptors in the brain and is the one responsible for the psychoactive effects of marijuana. CBD is antagonistic to the marijuana high; it actually prevents THC molecules from binding to the brain’s receptors. CBD has not demonstrated toxicity in the body (meaning it cannot make you “intoxicated” or “high”), however it is highly reactive with the body’s endocannabinoid system.

We are located out of Tennessee, but laws differ between states. Cannabis is legal for either medicinal or recreational use in some American states. Other states have approved the use of CBD oil as a hemp product but not the general use of medical marijuana. Some state and federal laws differ, and current marijuana and CBD legislation in the U.S. can be confusing, even in states where marijuana is legal.

CBD products from hemp are legal in all 50 states. Note the keyword “hemp-derived” since hemp typically contains THC content of less than 0.3% and it is not possible to get “high” on CBD from hemp so it is strictly considered a supplement.

Certain states have different rules about exactly who, and under what conditions, can access CBD products. Many state have laws progressing through their state legislatures right now to regulate the industry. It is recommended that you check your state laws on the current status of CBD and its use.

CBD helps support a healthy nervous system. It’s like a vitamin for your endocannabinoid system (ECS).

The ECS is a biological system composed of neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, which are expressed throughout the vertebrate central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. CBD helps modulate and regulate the firing of the CB1 and CB2 receptors.

All cannabinoids, including CBD, produce effects in the body by attaching to certain receptors. The human body produces certain cannabinoids on its own. It also has two receptors for cannabinoids, called the CB1 receptors and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are present throughout the body, but many are in the brain. The CB1 receptors in the brain deal with coordination and movement, pain, emotions, and mood, thinking, appetite, and memories, and other functions. THC attaches to these receptors. CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system. They affect inflammation and pain.

Hemp products are manufactured from high-quality Industrial Hemp and do not contain THC. While Hemp products should not test positive for THC on any drug test, we cannot guarantee that you will pass. We publish our current third-party lab tests here on our website.

A urine analysis will test for THC levels, the psychoactive cannabinoid found in marijuana. Most CBD oils are made from the hemp plant, which has low levels of THC. The federal government also requires CBD products to have less than .3% of THC in them.

Full-spectrum CBD oils will contain trace amounts of THC because they are made from the whole hemp flower. If you use a full-spectrum CBD oil, you will fail a drug test. You might also fail a drug test if you take a broad-spectrum CBD oil as it contains a negligible amount of THC.

On the other hand, THC-free CBD oil goes through an extraction process that eliminates the THC and isolates the CBD. Kat’s Naturals’ THC-free CBD oil will not show up on a drug test. Our products are tested three times by a 3rd-party lab. The analysis happens once at the plant, once at extraction, and once at bottling, to ensure we achieve purity and zero THC in our remedies.

When considering a THC-free CBD oil, it is of the utmost importance that you choose a company that uses a 3rd-party lab to test its products for the presence of THC. The company should also display a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to showcase the product’s purity and lack of THC.

The pet owners that trust and love our products say that Hemp & CBD supplements and dog treats help maintain a strong foundation of overall health and wellness. We often hear that our furry friends are finding support from everyday:

• Every day stresses
• Hip and joint

CBD should be taken sublingually (orally under the tongue) and held for approx-imately 30-60 seconds. When starting a new regimen of Happy Hemp CBD, it is suggested that you start with a low potency and gradually increase your intake of your CBD over the course of a few days while observing the effects and adjust your intake as you see fit.

There are a few different ways that you can use organic CBD:

• Sublingually: We advise taking 3-5 drops of CBD oil, which is a mid-range amount for most individuals. Put the CBD drops underneath your tongue and keep them there for 60 seconds. The effects of the CBD oil will work in 15 minutes and last 4-6 hours.

• Inhale: We recommend that you inhale 2-3 puffs of CBD, which is a medium-size amount for most individuals. When you inhale, hold your breath for 5 seconds. This method works very fast and lasts about 2-4 hours.

• Topically: Rub a small amount of CBD onto the affected area of your body — there’s no need to use large amounts. This method works very fast and lasts about 2-4 hours.

• Edibles: We suggest eating one chocolate square or 1 tsp. of edible hemp. It takes around 30-45 minutes for the edible to take effect, but it lasts up to 8 hours.

Unlike marijuana hemp contains extremely low (less than 0.3%) THC. THC is the compound in marijuana that is psychoactive.

You can give cbd oil to your pet by just using the dropper located inside of one of our cbd pet tincture bottles. 1 – 2 drops a day should be a sufficient dose.
