What CBD is
CBD (cannabidiol) is the most common non-intoxicating compound in hemp. People pick it when they want a hemp product without feeling high. It comes as full-spectrum (with trace THC), broad-spectrum (THC removed) or isolate (CBD only). See CBD at our shop.
What THC is
THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) is the compound that produces the high. Hemp-derived delta-9 is sold in small amounts in gummies and edibles. It affects people differently, and edibles take a while to kick in. See THC gummies and our first-timer guide.
Products with both
Some gummies and tinctures combine CBD and THC. The label lists the milligrams of each, so you can see the balance.
How to choose
- Don't want to feel high, or get drug-tested? Look at CBD isolate or broad-spectrum.
- Want to feel something mild? Ask for the lowest-milligram THC product we carry, or a CBD + THC blend.
- Not sure? Tell our staff what you're after. We'll explain the labels and you decide.
CBD and THC products are not evaluated by the FDA and aren't intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk to your doctor if you take medication.
