General Questions

What is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is an ingredient found in cannabis,  derived directly from the hemp plant. CBD can be found in a variety of products, including gummies, drinks, lotions, creams, and water-soluble drops.

What is hemp-derived THC?

Hemp-derived THC is tetrahydrocannabinol, derived from hemp plants with less than 0.3% THC. Hemp-derived THC is often found in Delta-8 THC and Delta-9 THC products. While both are forms of THC, Delta-9 THC is more potent and occurs abundantly in cannabis, whereas Delta-8 THC is less potent and occurs in much smaller quantities.

What's the difference between Delta-8 and Delta-9?

Delta -8 and Delta-9 are both forms of THC produced by the cannabis plant. However, there are distinct differences in their potency and abundance in cannabis plants. Delta-9 THC is found abundantly in cannabis and is responsible for many of the psychoactive effects and medicinal benefits associated with cannabis. 

Delta-8 THC is less potent and is produced in significantly smaller quantities by the cannabis plant; because it is naturally scarce, most Delta-8 is concentrated or synthesized from hemp-derived CBD through a specialized chemical conversion process. 

Usage Questions

How long does it take to feel the effects?

The time it takes to feel the effects of CBD products depends on the type of product you use, its ingredients, and an individual’s reaction. Onset can range from 15 minutes to two hours. Typically, inhalation and topical products have shorter onset times than edibles that must pass through your digestive system.

How long do effects last?

How long CBD stays in your body depends on how much you use, how often you use it, and how your body metabolizes it. Typically, the effects last from 2 to 6 hours.

Can I take CBD daily?

Most people can take CBD daily without any adverse effects. However, CBD can interfere with how your liver processes certain medications, causing adverse interactions. So, while it's rare, some people can experience side effects from daily use. 

Safety & Compliance Questions

Will I get "high"?

CBD has no psychoactive effects, so it doesn't alter your perception or create a mental high. As long as CBD products contain less than 0.3% THC, you can experience them without intoxicating effects. 

Will I fail a drug test?

CBD typically won't show up in a drug test, but CBD products containing THC will show up in testing. Full-spectrum CBD contains THC, while broad-spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate contain no THC.

Are PureNative products third-party tested?

Purchasing Questions

How do I read lab reports?

A lab report or certificate of analysis verifies the chemical composition of a cannabis product. The COA on a cannabis label includes the strain name, batch number, testing information, percentage of various cannabinoids, terpene profile, and contaminant screening results. 

What does "<0.3% THC" mean?

0.3% THC is the maximum amount of THC allowed in cannabis products in Florida. <0.3% THC means a product or plant contains less than 0.3% THC in dry weight. Cannabis with 0.3% or less THC is federally legal and used in CBD products in Florida.
