Frequently Asked Questions
CBD stands for cannabidiol, a compound found naturally in hemp plants. Unlike THC (the active cannabinoid in marijuana), CBD is not intoxicating which means it will not get you high. CBD interacts with receptors in your body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which helps regulate and modulate your internal systems to keep them in balance.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of receptors throughout your body. These receptors work with cannabinoids made by your body, and those made by plants. The ECS maintains, regulates, and modulates your body’s internal systems to keep them in balance.

However, our CBD products are not intended to treat, cure, or diagnose any form of anxiety disorders, mental health conditions, or other medical ailments.
Terpenes are organic compounds that are found in many plants, including cannabis. They give plants their distinctive aroma and have unique medicinal properties that may help improve energy, calmness, pain, and sleep.
