Hemp

Q: What’s the difference between hemp seed oil and hemp CBD oil?

A: Hemp seed oil is extracted by cold pressing hemp seed. It does not contain CBD. Hemp seed oil contains the perfect ratio of Omega 3,6 & 9 and is a fantastic plant-based alternative for people wanting a more sustainable oil supplement.

CBD oil is the oil extracted from the leaf or bud of the cannabis plant. CBD oil can only be accessed through a GP and the medicinal cannabis access scheme. 

Q: Can I fail a roadside or workplace drug test with hemp products?

A: No. There is no chance of hemp seeds providing a positive test on any roadside or workplace drug test. Hemp seed contains no THC or CBD.

Q: Are there any side effects of using hemp products? in pets

A: While hemp products for pets are generally considered safe, there can be side effects, although they are usually mild. These can include:

1. Sedation: Pets might experience drowsiness or lethargy, especially with higher doses of hemp products.
2. Dry Mouth: Similar to humans, pets may experience increased thirst or dry mouth.
3. Digestive Upset: Some pets might experience mild digestive issues like diarrhea or vomiting.
4. Interaction with Medications: Just like in humans, hemp products can interact with certain medications, so it's essential to consult with a veterinarian before giving them to your pet.

Always start with a low dose and closely monitor your pet for any adverse reactions. If you notice any concerning symptoms, stop the use of hemp products and consult your veterinarian.

Q: Can hemp get you high?

A: Hemp contains very low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. As a result, hemp typically does not produce a "high" when consumed. In fact, hemp is bred specifically to have low THC levels, usually below 0.3%, while still containing higher levels of CBD (cannabidiol) and other beneficial compounds. This means that consuming hemp-derived products, such as CBD oil or hemp seeds, should not result in intoxication or impairment.
