FAQs
Do CBD Rescue Hemp extracts contain any THC?
Our hemp tinctures contain less than 0.06 % THC. Both federal and state laws define hemp as cannabis plants with less than 0.3% THC. In comparison, the CBD content of our tinctures ranges from 500 to 1500 mg/oz or 1.7 to 5 %.
Will CBD get me high?
No. The psychoactive component of cannabis, THC, is far too low to reduce cognitive or motor functioning.
What other cannabinoids are in CBD Rescue?
There are over 100 known plant-based cannabinoids. The phytocannabinoid content of our latest raw-hemp extract yields 51% CBD, 7% CBC and 2.5% CBG. We seek out hemp strains with relatively high levels other cannabinoids to optimize the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of our products.
Are hemp products legal?
Yes. The 2014 Farm Act legalized growing hemp and the 2018 Omnibus Spending Act removed restrictions on transport or shipping of hemp and hemp products within the U.S. The 2018 Farm Bill, passed in December, legalizes all forms of hemp on a federal level.
Can I overdose or take too much of the CBD tinctures?
No. The therapeutic effects of high CBD hemp products increase linearly at low doses and diminish or level out at high doses. The adverse reactions from taking very high levels of hemp extract (more than 2000 mg/day) include drowsiness and diarrhea.
Are CBD hemp products safe for pets and children?
Use of high CBD tinctures first became popular in treating children with a severe form of epilepsy known as Dravet Syndrome. Children and pets use much lower doses of hemp extract than adults. Consult your pediatrician or veterinarian before giving hemp CBD products to a child or pet.
How is the CBD oil extracted from the plant?
There are many techniques for extracting phytocannabinoids from hemp plants. Each method has its advantages that depend on its intended use. We buy from farmers who use an ethanol-based extraction method. This method efficiently extracts the plant cannabinoids as well as the plant terpenes, vitamins, chlorophyll, and fatty acids. Most all of the ethanol solvent evaporates in the extraction process. The extract is then cooled to remove the waxy lipids and heated to decarboxylate the cannabinoids or convert the acid CBDa to the more therapeutic form CBD.
