CBD EDIBLES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 

Will CBD edibles (without THC) make me feel “high”?

CBD does not impact your body the same way THC does.  CBD does not provide the euphoric “high” effect most people associate THC with.  It is also important to note CBD is non-addictive.  

Could I fail a drug test from taking CBD edibles?

All of our full-spectrum products contain below the legal limit of .3% THC or less.  With that said, we legally cannot guarantee you would pass all drugs tests.  Each drug test is unique for what level of THC and cannabis metabolites they allow. For this reason we recommend speaking with your physician before starting a cannabis regimen if you know you will be subjected to drug tests. 

How do I store my CBD edibles?

It is important you always keep the products out of direct sunlight. For the best results, store them somewhere dry, cool, and out of excessive heat or light.

Do I need to keep my CBD edibles in the fridge?

Technically you may be able to prolong the shelf life of our products by keeping them in the fridge, our products last a couple years. The long shelf life (if stored properly) usually outlasts the frequency with which most people use the products; however, refrigerating your products won’t do any harm but is probably unnecessary. 

How long before CBD edibles expire?

We recommend consuming all your cannabinoid related products within 2 years of date of purchase. 

Why use THC or CBD edibles?

CBD/Delta 9 THC edibles are easy to dose since each piece has a predetermined amount of cannabinoids. They can be easily transported and taken at any time all while at the same time being great tasting with no harmful additives. Using CBD edibles is also an extremely discreet way to still stay on track with your health and wellness plan without drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. 

Does a CBD edible produce different effects than CBD oil or other methods of ingesting CBD?

CBD edibles can absolutely produce different effects than simply a CBD oil.  CBD oil is typically held under the tongue for a period of time and gets into the bloodstream quicker. On the other hand, CBD edibles are not as fast acting and must be processed through the liver prior to exerting its effects on the human body.  For this reason, as CBD/THC goes through the liver the molecule changes slightly and can lead to a more or less potent effect. What this means is you have multiple options when looking at cannabis as to what method of ingestion will work best for you. 

How long do CBD edibles take to work?

Most people will begin to feel the effects of a CBD gummy/edible within about 30-90 minutes.  As far as total duration of effects, this can depend on many factors but could last up to 12 hours or more.  How quickly gummies/edibles work can vary widely from person to person.  

Are CBD edibles legal to be shipped to my state?

Federally legal in all 50 states, our products at Total Health are derived from hemp and contains under .3% THC on a dry weight basis in compliance with the Federal Farm Bill.  

What does full spectrum CBD mean?

Full spectrum refers to a product which contains all of the naturally occurring cannabinoids (including less than .3% THC), terpenes, and flavonoids of the original hemp source. Working together, all of these compounds in the plant will amplify the effects of each other typically leading to an enhanced experience for the consumer known as the “Entourage Effect”.  The “Entourage Effect” is basically demonstrating that the whole plant is greater than the sum of its parts. 

What are the side effects of taking CBD edibles?

First off, we believe most of the side effects consumers are reporting while taking CBD/THC are a direct result of impure, mislabeled, or contaminated products.  The side effects of taking CBD edibles are typically mild compared to the side effects of other potentially more potent pharmaceutical drugs. The World Health Organization has stated “to date, there is no evidence of recreational use of CBD or any public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD”.  Some of the most common reported side effects of taking CBD edibles are fatigue, decreased appetite and diarrhea. CBD has been studied using very high daily doses upwards of 1500 mg per day with no serious side effects for human health.  As mentioned in other sections, CBD edibles do have the potential to interact with other medications so we always recommend speaking with your physician prior to beginning a CBD regimen. It should be noted that there are no reported deaths from a cannabis overdose.   

Do THC or CBD edibles interact with other medications?

Although the risk of any drug-drug interactions while using CBD is extremely low, it is important for us to point out that we always recommend speaking with your physician prior to starting a CBD regimen.  CBD (cannabidiol) can interact with the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family of enzymes.  The reason this is important is because if taking high doses of CBD, that enzyme can become saturated and therefore could lead to higher or lower levels of other medications in your blood.  As a practical tip, we commonly recommend taking your CBD at different times than other prescribed drugs. Lastly, CBD is not unique in interacting with this family of enzymes but something to absolutely be aware of. 

What type of extraction method is used at Total Health?

We use a winterized CO2 extraction method to maximize the bioavailable amount of CBD in each product as well as ensure every product is free from residual solvents, heavy metals, and all types of contaminants. 

Should I take my THC or CBD edibles with food?

Taking CBD edibles with a meal containing fat can help more CBD get absorbed into the bloodstream and therefore have a larger impact on your health and well-being. Some common examples of healthy fats are nuts/seeds, omega-3 fatty acids, fish, olive oil and even things like dairy products. 

Are your products vegan?

Although we try to carry as many vegan products as possible, not every product is in fact vegan.  The products that are vegan are clearly listed as so in the product description.  If the product does not specify that it is vegan in the description than it is not.
