Industrial hemp is a type of Cannabis sativa plant that is grown for industrial purposes and contains no more than 0.3% concentration (on a dry weight basis) of the psychoactive cannabinoid (compound) THC [1]. Because of this low concentration of THC, industrial hemp is considered non-phycoactive and legally distinguished from marijuana, which is another variant of Cannabis sativa plant with higher concentrations of THC.

Industrial hemp has a high concentration of Cannabidiol (CBD), which is non-psychoactive and just one of over a hundred other cannabinoids contained in the plant. Industrial hemp was made federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and is used to produce a variety of industrial and consumer products such as fiber, food, oil, and medicine [2]. It is important to note that it's level of legality varies from state to state so it is important to research local laws regarding its use.

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is a non-intoxicating compound found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Unlike its more famous cousin, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD has no psychoactive effects. Instead, it has been credited with a wide range of potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-anxiety, and seizure-suppressant properties. CBD can be sourced from both marijuana and hemp plants and is legal in many jurisdictions, but its legal status varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, CBD derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC concentration was approved as a legal commodity after the passing of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also know as the Farm Bill.

CBD oil can be used orally or topically based on the condition it is used for. If using the oil orally, sublingual application (under tongue) is considered more efficient than ingesting (swallowing). The bioavailability of CBD is much higher when taken sublingually, as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. When ingested, the CBD has to pass through the liver where a higher percentage will go to waste.

Directions:

• Shake your CBD oil bottle well for 10 seconds
• Fill the included glass dropper with the desired amount of CBD oil
• Administer the CBD oil
• Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Sublingual Application: Place the desired amount of CBD oil underneath your tongue and do not swallow for 1-2 minutes. We recommend not drinking anything for at least 5 minutes.

Benefits from CBD can be seen faster or slower depending each person’s anatomy. You can increase your serving amount after each cycle until you’ve achieved the desire effect. We recommend taking your CBD oil at least once a day, for 30 days, before evaluating your results.

This is the most common question that people have. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the endocannabinoid system. Everyone is different, and may require a different amount to achieve their desired results. Some people may use only 10-15 drops a day, while others may use 1/2 serving to 1 full serving or more per day. For many people, 10-20mg of CBD per day is where they find their most desired results.

The general consensus is to start low and slow (only a few drops for the first few days), then increase as needed to achieve the desired results. The goal is to figure out how much or how little you need to take to get results. Some people split it up and take the oil multiple times a day, while others take it just once a day.

Full-spectrum products include CBD and THC, as well as other cannabinoids and terpenes found in the plant. CBD is non-physcoative (no high), whereas THC is physcoactive (makes you high). While THC is also reputed to have health benefits, it remains illegal in some states and also carries the risk of failing a drug test.

Full Spectrum – Typically contains CBD along with small amounts of other cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant, including THC.

Broad Spectrum – Typically contains CBD along with small amounts of other cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp plant, but not THC. 

Isolate CBD Oil – Any type of carrier oil with CBD isolate mixed in.

Hemp Seed Oil – Comes from the seeds only and does not contain CBD or other cannabinoids by itself. Highly nutritious and contains vitamins, minerals, and essential omega fatty acids.

Our CBD oil will not get you high. CBD is non-physcoactive (no high). THC is the chemical in marijuana that produces a high. Our CBD Hemp Oil comes from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC. Industrial hemp is federally legal because the amount of THC is considered too low to have any effect.

Many workplace drug tests screen for THC metabolites rather than CBD itself. Isolate and broad-spectrum products with no detectable THC at the laboratory’s reporting limit may present a lower risk than full-spectrum products; however, Wilson Botanics cannot guarantee that the use of any CBD product will not result in a positive drug-test result.

Full-spectrum products contain measurable amounts of THC within applicable legal limits and may be more likely to produce a positive result. Drug-testing methods, detection thresholds, frequency of use, individual metabolism, and other factors can affect test results.

Anyone subject to workplace or other drug testing should consult their employer, testing administrator, or qualified healthcare professional before using CBD products.
