There are 4 ways to ingest CBD oil; Inhalation, Topical application, Sublingual, and Ingestion.
Inhalation- Most people experience mild sensations of relaxation when smoking, this is regarded as a benefit. There is no chance of over-sedation as CBD does not provide the same “high” that one may feel from THC. In addition, Our CBD pre-rolls taste great!
Topical Application- Topicals are great for localizing pain relief. To apply, rub the product onto the skin in the area of discomfort. The cannabinoids work on the top layer of your skin cells and do not actually enter the bloodstream via this application.
Sublingual- Ingesting cannabinoids orally by placing drops under the tongue is highly effective. Hold it under the tongue for 60-90 seconds so that the mucous membranes can absorb the cannabinoids. This bypasses the digestive system and liver. The compounds reach your bloodstream and interact with the endocannabinoid system within minutes.
Ingestion- Swallowing the concentrated cannabinoids allows it to pass through the digestive system and metabolize in the liver. The active compounds then enter your bloodstream. This is how most of your daily vitamins are delivered.
Although it is against FDA regulations to make any health claims with regard to the medical benefits of CBD, the initial stages of scientific testing include areas of study such as:
Thankfully, CBD oil is not an illicit substance. Drug tests
only look for THC or THC metabolites in marijuana, which is classified as a
Schedule I Drug. Cannabidiol sourced from hemp will not show up in marijuana
drug tests.
Our isolate and topical products are 100% THC free. The hemp flowers do contain trace amounts of THC and, if excessively consumed, could lead to a failed drug test. Please refer to the lab results to determine THC levels. Black Tie is not responsible for any failed drug tests relating to the consumption of our products. Use at your own discretion.
CBD is non-psychoactive meaning you will not get the feeling high effect.
A tincture is a concentrated liquid form of one or more herbs, such as cannabis, which is produced by soaking the plant in a solvent, such as alcohol or vegetable glycerine, for several weeks. In the case of CBD oil tincture, a high-resin hemp flower strain of cannabis could be soaked in alcohol for several weeks until it is formed into a liquid state.
Depending on the desired effects of the tincture, the liquid can be refined to contain certain compounds from the plant. Broad-spectrum products contain no THC, while full-spectrum contain THC below the legal limit of .3%.
Products labeled as isolates will generally be highlighted as being 99+% “pure CBD.” Usually, these products will have nothing but CBD in them because the CBD has literally been isolated from everything else. You can find pre-made isolate oils that typically consist of a carrier oil, such as MCT oil, infused with the crystalline isolate powder. You can also find the “raw” CBD crystalline powder or slabs (a form of concentrate) on its own.
When looking at isolate, it is important to verify the purity. While many are in the 99.9+% range with no identifiable amounts of THC, there are lower purity ones (such as 99.5% or lower) that may still have trace amounts that show up on the labs. This small amount is typically negligible, and is nowhere near the amount usually found in full spectrum products. But it’s still something to be aware of for those seeking the purest they can find.
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a product that comes from the hemp (cannabis) plant. CBD oil may be taken sublingually (placed underneath the tongue), orally (in capsules or in edible form, topically (on the skin), transdermally (through patches that penetrate the skin), and through inhalation. Single CBD oil doses range from 16 mg to 1,000 mg.
Medical professionals are still cautious around CBD oil given its limited research. Additionally, CBD oil may negatively interact with other medications and cause potentially unpleasant side effects. It is recommended to consult your healthcare professionals prior to using CBD oil. When purchasing CBD oil, always review the product’s third party lab test results to verify the legitimacy of the brand and the safety of the product. Each CBD oil product’s label should include the amount of cannabinoids (including THC), a full list of ingredients, the lot or control number, the net quantity, the expiration date, instructions, dosing information, warnings and potential contraindications, and storage instructions.
Many products containing CBD may contain trace amounts of Delta 9 THC, which is the main active ingredient of marijuana. Asking, “Will CBD show up on a drug test?” is a common question, the answer to which is generally no. The legal amount of THC that is permitted to be in CBD products sold and commercially distributed within the US is 0.3% THC, which should not be detectable on a drug test in most cases. Products with THC in excess of 0.3% THC, however, may result in a positive result in drug tests. Additional factors that may impact results include the quality and composition of the product used.
CBD comes from a family of plants known as cannabis. Cannabis plants contain hundreds of compounds that are naturally occurring such as terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavonoids. The chemical composition of these compounds also varies depending on the variety and plant strain of each compound. THC is generally found in marijuana plants in different concentrations. The THC in marijuana is the compound that gives users the high effect in vaping or smoking weed. By comparison, products that are derived from hemp are legally required to contain a THC content of less than 0.3%.
Certain types of CBD are less likely to contain THC than others. How the CBD was extracted as well as its harvesting process may impact the risk of THC contamination. Although unlikely, it is possible that this could cause CBD to show up on a drug test. CBD users are always advised to exercise caution when using CBD and/or THC products.
CBD oil contains cannabidiol which is a compound that produces therapeutic effects. It is derived from the cannabis plant and is often used for recreational purposes. There are many places where you can buy CBD oil in the United States, including online, at distilleries, or sometimes even in your local store.
CBD has been incorporated into many types of products including food, drinks, bath bombs, and others. Although it is quite popular among consumers, many are still unsure what CBD is and whether or not it is as psychoactive as THC.
CBD is a naturally-occurring substance that is regularly used in oils and edibles for its calming and relaxing effects. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. There are plenty of CBD products on the market to try. Keep in mind that the effects of CBD differ from user to user. People typically experiment with a variety of different CBD products across oral and topical varieties to find the ones that best suit their needs.
When evaluating the quality of CBD oil, it is important to know the source of the hemp used to manufacture the product and only use CBD oil without harmful additives. These extraneous substances could undermine the safety and quality of the CBD products. A hemp plant that has been treated with nonorganic chemicals can cause the CBD products to taste bitter and have other negative side effects. Excessive ingestion of these chemicals may also lead to serious medical conditions. Always conduct thorough research and review lab test reports before trying CBD products.
Full spectrum (or “whole plant”) products contain CBD as well as terpenes and other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN and trace amounts of THC. Usually these will be in ratios that were naturally-occurring and extracted from the plant and specific strain. Terpenes and cannabinoids are occasionally added back into products as an isolated form to raise the potency of the product.
Full spectrum products are by far the most popular choice among users. With full spectrum CBD oil products, you have the advantage of something called the “entourage effect.” This is where all the cannabinoids and terpenes are working together in synergy, something that broad spectrum and isolate products will lack.
Those subject to drug testing should be cautious when it comes to full spectrum products. The THC found in full spectrum CBD oil products is minimal (less than 0.3%), but can still trigger a positive drug test.
Broad spectrum products are typically the product type of choice for those who have drug testing concerns and those who are sensitive to THC. They contain an array of cannabinoids and terpenes in addition to CBD but zero THC based on the manufacturer’s lab testing. Third party lab reports that are readily available from reputable companies can tell you which cannabinoids and terpenes are in the product and at what levels.
These products have often gone through additional processing to try to isolate and remove as much THC as possible while still maintaining the other cannabinoids and terpenes. In other cases, they are isolate-based with additional cannabinoids and terpenes added in.
CBG or cannabigerol is often referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids. What is CBG? It is a type of cannabinoid that is obtained from the cannabis plant. Other cannabinoids come from cannabigerolic acid, which is an acidic form of CBG. There are also other more common cannabinoids that are obtained from cannabis plants, which include tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol (CBD).
CBG originates from cannabis plants that are still young as they have higher levels of CBG as compared to plants that have fully developed. Some cannabis strains such as Jack Frost CBG, White CBG, and Super Glue CBG also have greater contents of CBG as compared to other strains. These strains are specially grown to make greater concentrations of CBG.
Just like CBD, CBG is processed by the endocannabinoid system of the body. The system consists of receptors and molecules that keep our bodies in an optimal state regardless of external factors.
CBG is found in lower amounts as compared to other cannabinoids in cannabis plants. In most of the plant’s strains, just 1% of CBD can be found as compared to at least 20 to 25% of CBD or 25 to 30% of THC. This is why consumer products that are derived from the cannabinoid are considered rare and are often expensively priced. CBG is still nonetheless growing in popularity because of its host of potential benefits.
Acquiring CBG can be difficult, which is why some cannabis farmers have been experimenting with genetic manipulation and cross-breeding techniques.
CBN, or Cannabinol, is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is a product of the degradation of THC and is known for its potential sedative effects, making it popular for sleep aids.
CBN and CBD are both cannabinoids, but they have different origins and effects. CBN is formed as THC ages and breaks down, whereas CBD is a primary cannabinoid present in the cannabis plant. CBN is often associated with sleep and relaxation, while CBD is known for its wide range of therapeutic benefits without causing a high.
