CBD Oil Tinctures

CBD Oil by Steve’s Goods

Not all CBD or Hemp products are created equally. When considering adding finished CBD to your routine, there are a few things to look for, and to learn by asking the right questions.

 

Questions To Ask About CBD / Hemp Products:

1) Is the product subject to independent third-party testing?

2) What is the method of hemp extraction?

3) What is the likelihood or presence of THC (is it THC-free)?

4) What else is in this bottle?

5) Is this product made from hemp oil, or hemp seed oil?

 

Hemp Education Is A Must

Self-education regarding CBD oils and/or tinctures is very important. Not all companies offer the same caliber of CBD, and just because a product is expensive or well-marketed/branded, doesn’t mean it is in fact better for use or consumption as an herbal supplement. If you’re looking to understand the core differences between hemp seed oil and CBD oil, you can check out an informative blog post here.

 

What is CBD Oil?

Cannabidiol or CBD is one of the 114 cannabinoids found in the cannabis sativa plant. It’s made by extracting the oil from the plant then mixing it with a carrier oil. CBD feeds your endocannabinoid system, a receptor system discovered in the early 90’s that extends throughout your whole body and keeps everything in balance.

As far as benefits, studies have shown that CBD may be useful as a supplement in dealing with various health disorders with few if any, side effects. It’s an exciting time in cannabinoid research.

 

Can CBD Oil Cause A Failed Drug Screening?

CBD oil legally has to have less than 0.3% THC, which isn’t enough to show in urine. As long as you take high quality, lab tested CBD oil, you will not fail a drug test using that alone, and within the parameters of recommended serving size. Lower quality oils that have not been tested may have a percentage of THC, and may result in a contaminated test specimen. Know your sources! – And if you need a guarantee, our 20:1 CBD + CBG oils are made with THC-free distillate. All that meaning: 0% THC is present in CBD + CBG oils from Steve’s Goods.

 

Does CBD Oil Get You ‘High?’

CBD extracted from industrial hemp cannot get you high. It has less than .03% THC and is non-psychoactive. This is why it’s vital to know your source. Marijuana has high percentages of psychoactive THC while the hemp plant has higher amounts of CBD. CBD can be extracted from either plant — and the former will produce a product higher in THC.

 

How Long Does it Take For CBD Oil to Work?

Feeling the effects of CBD varies from person to person. Here are a few factors in determining how fast CBD will work for you. They include the strength of your oil, how much you’re taking, and what you want to relieve. Also, how full is your belly?

Finding the right CBD serving size for you often takes experimentation.

Short term, full spectrum CBD oils usually begin to take effect with 20 – 40 minutes and can take as long as an hour. Long term, with consistent use, it’s been reported people notice an overall benefit within as short as a few weeks.

CBD Oil Supplementation For Discomfort

When you suffer from day-to-day wear-and-tear, you know the need for relief can sneak up on you. A squirt of the tincture under the tongue starts working in as little 20 – 30 minutes to help with that feeling. If you have regular issues, you may want to supplement with CBD as often as every day. Using titration as mentioned above and the chart below, start at the lowest amount, add .05 – 5 mg every fourth day and stop increasing when you feel more in balance.
