Frequently Asked CBD Questions - HALT-Healthier Alternatives

What is CBD?

The letters CBD is an acronym for cannabidiol (a type of cannabinoid), an organic non-psychoactive compound that is extracted from the Industrial Hemp plant. It is nonpsychoactive, which means that it will not produce the psychological feeling of being ‘high’. Cannabidiol is one of hundreds of Cannabinoids found within the Industrial Hemp plant. If you are curious about the different types of cannabinoids, read our blog about the Different Cannabinoid Extracts.

Why should I take CBD?

When you consume CBD, it is absorbed into the body and empowers the body’s Endocannabinoid receptors found within the human nervous system (CB1 receptors) and peripheral nervous system (CB2 receptors). Once CBD is applied, the cannabidiol attaches itself to those receptors and your Endocannabinoid System begins to produce its own cannabidiol, and distributes those self-made CBD molecules to several parts of the body. This is the process that assists with the body’s natural regulation of pain, inflamation, sleep, memory, anxiety, and overall equilibration.

Is CBD legal?

If purchasing CBD online, you should always check with the current laws in the state that you live in. If you are purchasing CBD in the state of Indiana, it is legal if the product contains less than .03% THC. Therefore H*ALT – Healthier Alternatives CBD products contain only .03% or less THC.

Are there age restrictions when purchasing or using CBD products?

Yes. All CBD products are only sold to people 18 years of age or older.

Are all CBD products the same?

No. Not all CBD products are the same. There are both naturally organic and synthetic CBD products. Any synthetic CBD is a chemically created compound from a laboratory.

What is the difference between Hemp and Marijuana?

Industrial hemp is different than marijuana. Industrial hemp has less than .03% of THC, but contains high levels of cannabidiol, while marijuana can have 5 – 30% THC (depending upon the species of plant) but contains low levels of cannabidiol.

Is THC in CBD products?

The potential amount of THC in CBD depends on the type of product used. Not all CBD products are the same, but H*ALT – Healthier Alternatives only sells cannabidiol products that contain .03% or less THC.

What is the best method to consume CBD?

CBD comes in a variety of forms and there are four basic ways to consume CBD: sublingual (under the tongue), inhalable (inhaling and exhaling a concentrate), ingestible (swallowing), and topical (applying to the skin). The best method depends on each person’s preference and needs. For example, some people use topical products and target specific areas of the body such as arthritic joints; others ingest gummies for a whole body effect.

What are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic oils produced from the trichomes of several species of plants (including hemp) as a natural defense against insects. Terpenes have unique tastes contingent upon the strain of hemp it is extracted from. They are often added to CBD products for both the flavors and various medicinal effects.

Why are there MG (milligram) and ML (milliliter) numbers on my CBD product’s package?

CBD oils also use a ML number to designate dose size. For example, a 15 ML tincture bottle of CBD based on a 350 MG formula contains 23 MG per 1 ML dose.
