FAQ's

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound that comes from the leaves, stalks, and flowers of industrial hemp or marijuana cannabis. It is the most widely accepted non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp-based CBD extracts should not be confused with CBD from marijuana, even though they both derive from the same plant – all of our King Buddha Broad-Spectrum CBD products contain CBD extracted from industrial hemp.

THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, the main compound found in marijuana plants. THC is what gives marijuana its psychoactive properties or “high” effects.

CBD primarily interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a grouping of millions of cannabinoid receptors found throughout your body, but are primarily clustered in the brain and central nervous system. While CBD is a phytocannabinoid, or plant-based cannabinoid, your body also naturally produces cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids. Almost every organ of your body, including your skin and digestive tract, contains cannabinoid receptors.

The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) helps the body maintain homeostasis, or balance, by communicating with and supporting other biological systems in the body.

The ECS regulates and balances a variety of responses in the body: stress, appetite, sensation, mood, energy, metabolism, skin function and more.

CBD products should be taken as indicated on each product label. The products are intended for adult use. Different forms including gummies, pills and topical products are available depending on each customer’s preference.

Hemp and marijuana are different
species of Cannabis sativa, come from different plants, and are bred
for different purposes.

Both hemp and marijuana contain CBD, but there’s a much higher percentage in hemp. Hemp also has much lower levels of THC (less than 0.3%) than the marijuana species.

Hemp is grown to be durable, have very long stalks and as few flowering buds as possible—this can make it
easier to extract the high amounts of CBD. Hemp’s chemical profile
means that you can’t get “high” from it, and it is used to create food and cosmetics, as well as other products, including rope, bricks, natural polymers, fiber, clothes and many more.

Marijuana strains of cannabis are
typically smaller, flimsier and have many flowering buds with the
sole purpose of maximizing the concentration of THC.

King Buddha hemp-derived CBD product
features both "full spectrum" and "broad spectrum"
for consumers to enjoy. 

*Broad Spectrum is a whole plant
formulation that contains hemp-derived CBD extract as well as the
plant's original phytocannabinoids, terpenes and oils. The hemp plant
material used to create a broad-spectrum extract undergoes an
additional purification process to remove as much THC as possible.

*Full Spectrum is a whole plant
formulation that contains hemp-derived CBD extract as well as the
plant's original phytocannabinoids, terpenes, and oils. A full
spectrum extract and final formula contains less than 0.3% THC.

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp has been removed from the schedule 1 substance list, making it
an ordinary farm crop – just like wheat or corn. Hemp-derived CBD products, such as those made by King Buddha, can now be sold in stores or online, across the country as long as they contain no more than 0.3% THC.

CBD is non-intoxicating. THC, the main active ingredient in Cannabis sativa, is both a psychoactive compound and an intoxicating cannabinoid that leaves its users feeling “high.”
CBD is a different cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa and while it is technically psychoactive, it is non-intoxicating. The level of THC present in Cannabis sativa is what determines the plant’s classification as marijuana or hemp; hemp, by definition, contains no more than 0.3% THC.

As long as you buy from a reputed supplier who can produce certification of the CBD products’ safety and ingredients it should be safe.

A World Health Organisation report on CBD confirmed that “CBD is generally well tolerated with a good safety profile. Reported adverse effects may be as a result of drug interactions between CBD and patients’ existing medications.”

Controlled human studies have not found any potential for physical dependence, withdrawal or tolerance. 
Due to the extremely low levels of THC, there’s no reason why CBD
oil should be addictive when used responsibly.

Not all CBD products are the same quality so it’s important to look out for trusted brands who can provide analytical results for their products. Any company who makes a CBD product should be able to supply a consumer with a certificate confirming its safety, the amount of THC it contains and any residual solvents leftover from the manufacturing process.

Check with their health care provider or pharmacist and ask if CBD products are right for them.

CBD is generally safe, non-toxic, and with no known lethal dose. The World Health Organization (WHO) published a comprehensive review of CBD research in 2017 and determined that taking as much as 1500 mg daily is well tolerated by
humans. The National Cancer Institute explains on their website that cannabinoid receptors are not present on the brainstem, therefore cannabinoid compounds cannot interrupt respiration. For context, the brainstem controls vital functions such as respiration, and this is how medications such as opioids, which interact with brainstem receptors, can be lethal.

There are five ways to use CBD:

Internally — in the form of CBD tincture oils, capsules, gummies, or edibles

Inhalation — in the form of raw hemp flower or vape pens & oils

Topically — in the form of CBD creams, lotions, and patches

The most common way to use CBD is orally in the form of a CBD oil or CBD gummy. CBD creams CBD vape
pens are also popular.

While employers that conduct drug screenings do not test for CBD metabolites, they almost certainly test for THC, the intoxicating compound found in cannabis. So, in short, the answer is no, CBD itself should not trigger a positive drug test. However, because THC can be found in minute quantities in full spectrum CBD tinctures, gummies, or capsules, there is a chance that a person could test positive in a drug screening after taking certain CBD products.

Yes, CBD oil can be given to cats and dogs. CBD interacts with a canine’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) in the same way it interacts with a human’s ECS.
