FAQ

Common questions

What is CBD?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a compound found in hemp. It's sold as oils, gummies, capsules, and topicals. Unlike THC, CBD isn't intoxicating.

Will CBD get me high?

CBD itself won't. But full-spectrum products contain trace THC (under 0.3%), and some hemp products (like delta-8) can be intoxicating. Read labels carefully — our buyer's guide explains the differences.

Is CBD legal?

Hemp-derived CBD with less than 0.3% THC is federally legal in the U.S. under the 2018 Farm Bill, but states have their own rules — especially for delta-8 and other alt-cannabinoids. Check your state's current law.

What should I check before buying CBD?

Three things: (1) a current third-party lab report for the product, (2) THC content that matches your needs, (3) price per mg of CBD. Our lab report guide shows how to verify all three in two minutes.

How much CBD should I take?

There's no universal dose. Most people start low (a small serving once daily) and adjust gradually. Talk to your doctor first, especially if you take other medications.

Can I give CBD to my pet?

Use pet-specific products and talk to your vet first — dosing by weight matters and interactions are possible. We review one pet brand here.

Do you sell CBD?

No. We're a review site. When you buy through our links, you purchase directly from the brand — we may earn a commission. See how we make money.

How do you pick the brands you recommend?

Published third-party lab reports are the pass/fail gate, then we score ingredients, reputation, and value. Brands can't pay for placement. Full details on our about page.
