What is CBD Oil?
CBD is one of many compounds, known as cannabinoids, that are found in the cannabis plant. Oils that contain CBD are known as CBD Oils, and the concentration and uses of these oils vary.
Why use CBD Oil?
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system in the body which regulates homeostasis, or balance, which can affect mood, sleep, appetite, hormone regulation, pain and trauma in the joints. All mammals have an endocannabinoid system—so yes, there are pet products as well!
People use CBD to also help with anxiety, epilepsy, inflammation or seizures. However, because of DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) regulations we, as suppliers, cannot treat these conditions nor claim that CBD oil will cure something.
How Does CBD Oil Work?
CBD activates specific receptors in the human body that produce the effects of a cannabidiol. For more information, please visit the websites listed on the backside.
How can CBD Oil Be Taken?
CBD Oil is currently available in the form of tinctures, lotions and capsules in a variety of strengths. Please speak to a co-op employee for more information.
Will CBD Oil show up on a drug test?
Not likely. There is only a very small amount of THC in these products, around 0.3%, and unless consumed in high amounts (1,000 mg or more) they should not show up on a drug test.
