Hemp 101
No jargon. No dumb questions.
A short guide to what's on the shelf, what the label means, and how to make a confident choice.
Who's who on the label.
- CBD
The best-known compound in hemp, and the main ingredient in most of our products. It is not known to be intoxicating.
- CBG
A minor cannabinoid found in smaller amounts in hemp. You will often see it in daytime blends.
- CBN
A minor cannabinoid that often appears in evening and nighttime products.
- CBC
Another minor cannabinoid, usually paired with CBD rather than sold by itself.
How to read a label
Three things worth checking.
- 1
Find the dose per piece
A bag may say 500mg on the front, but that is usually the total. Look for the amount in each gummy or serving.
- 2
Check the serving size
One serving can be more than one gummy or dropper, so check before you do the math.
- 3
Read the lab report
A lab report, or COA, shows what an independent lab measured in that product.
Full spectrum, broad spectrum, isolate.
- Full spectrum
Contains a broad range of hemp compounds, which can include trace amounts of THC.
- Broad spectrum
Contains many hemp compounds, with THC processed out. Check the lab report to confirm.
- Isolate
Contains only the single isolated compound, usually CBD.
Common questions.
Will CBD make me feel high?
CBD is not known to be intoxicating. Some hemp products contain trace THC, so check the lab report and ask us if you're not sure.
How much should I start with?
There's no universal dose. Most people start with a small amount and go slowly. We can talk through the options, but your doctor is the right person for medical questions.
Could hemp products affect a drug test?
They can. Even products with trace THC may show up on a test, so if you get tested, talk to us and your employer or doctor first.
Can I take hemp products with my medication?
Please check with your doctor or pharmacist first. CBD can interact with some medications.
Do I need ID to buy?
Yes. In Texas, you must be at least 21 with a valid government-issued ID to buy consumable hemp products.
Why do products sometimes change?
Hemp rules have been changing quickly. We keep our shelves in line with the current rules, so ask us what's available today.
Still have a question?
Ask us anything. Rushing is not our style.
