CBD stands for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. It is non-psychoactive and is known for its potential health benefits.
CBD legality varies by country and state. In the United States, CBD derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC is federally legal, with that said, Idaho, Nebraska and South Dakota legally prohibit all cannabis-derived products.
No, CBD does not produce a "high" effect. THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis, while CBD is non-intoxicating.
CBD can be taken orally (tinctures, capsules), topically (creams, balms), or inhaled (vaping). At Sinaterra, we believe soft-gels offer the most consistent, safe and straightforward way if reliably delivering CBD.
There is no one-size-fits-all dosage. Most experts agree that starting with a low dose and gradually increasing until you achieve the desired effect. With that said, low dosages often advertised by other CBD companies are not effective when one reviews the literature. We endorse low dosages starting with our 40mg soft gel.
CBD is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild side effects like dizziness, dry mouth, or changes in appetite. These effects are usually temporary.
It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before combining CBD with other medications to avoid potential interactions.
The onset of CBD effects varies depending on the method of consumption. Effects can be felt within minutes (vaping) to a couple of hours (edibles).
CBD products that contain only trace amounts of THC (less than 0.3%) are unlikely to show up on a drug test. However, using full-spectrum CBD products may carry a small risk.
Look for products that have been tested by a third-party laboratory for purity and potency. Check for certificates of analysis (COA) and buy from reputable brands.
CBD's legality during travel varies by location. Research the laws of your destination and consider carrying the product's COA to prove its legality.
Full-spectrum contains all compounds found in the hemp plant, including trace THC. Broad-spectrum has most compounds but no THC. Isolate is pure CBD.
Store CBD in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its potency.
Our CBD is sourced from reputable hemp farms in the United States known for high-quality cultivation practices. We prioritize quality through rigorous third-party lab testing to ensure purity, potency, and the absence of contaminants in our products. Recent study demonstrated only 24% of CBD products found in retail and online stores had accurate amounts of CBD and THC. This commitment to quality is central to our mission.
The entourage effect is the idea that various compounds in the cannabis plant, like cannabinoids and terpenes, work together to enhance each other's effects when consumed together. This synergy is believed to make the overall experience more significant and beneficial. For this reason, Sinaterra endorses Full Spectrum CBD products that have components of entire plant present including micro doses of THC.
