The most common question we hear is: will CBD make me feel “high?” The answer is NO. Although CBD and THC both are derived from the cannabis family of plants, THC is the molecule responsible for intoxication. Although CBD does have physical and psychological effects on the body, it does not cause impairment — which is why it’s legal to purchase and use throughout the country.

There are 3 main “formulations” of CBD in the products you’ll find for sale. Isolate CBD contains literally just the CBD compound from the hemp plant. However, the plant has so many other phytochemicals and nutrients available besides just CBD, which many people feel contribute to CBD’s positive effects. Broad spectrum CBD includes all those plant-based goodies, with one notable exception: THC. Finally, full spectrum CBD will contain the entire range of phytochemicals found in hemp, including THC. Not to worry though: full spectrum CBD must legally contain less than 0.3% THC, so it still won’t make you feel “high”.

Everyone’s body reacts to CBD differently, and because CBD hasn’t been federally legal since the 2018 Farm Bill, scientific studies are trying to play catch-up to understand exactly how CBD exerts its effect on the body. That said, the best way to determine how much CBD to take is to experiment with it. Your experience with cannabis, height and weight, and other factors all play a role in determining how much CBD to take. Good news: CBD is non-toxic even in high doses, which means the most you typically have to fear from taking “too much” is drowsiness. And for some people, that was the effect they wanted all along!

Because CBD has gained such an impressive reputation in just a few short years, many shady companies have rushed to market and slapped “CBD” on their label in an attempt to cash in. Obviously, these poor quality products don’t provide the relief that people seek when they spend their hard-earned dollars on them.
