CBD & Cannabinoids
What Is CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants.
Unlike Delta-9 THC, CBD is generally considered non-intoxicating, meaning it does not typically produce the euphoric "high" associated with THC.
CBD is available in several forms, including oils, tinctures, gummies, capsules, and topical products.
What Is the Difference Between Hemp and Marijuana?
Hemp and marijuana both come from cannabis plants. The primary legal distinction has traditionally been their Delta-9 THC concentration.
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp was defined as cannabis containing no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. Cannabis exceeding that threshold generally falls outside that definition.
Federal hemp regulations are changing, and individual states may apply additional restrictions.
Will CBD Get Me High?
CBD itself is not generally intoxicating. However, some CBD products contain additional cannabinoids, including THC.
Full-spectrum CBD products may contain measurable amounts of THC, while products labeled THC-free are formulated to avoid detectable THC.
Always review the product label and available third-party laboratory results before purchasing.
What Is the Difference Between Full-Spectrum, Broad-Spectrum, and CBD Isolate?
Full-Spectrum CBD: Contains CBD along with other naturally occurring cannabinoids and compounds from the hemp plant, potentially including THC.
Broad-Spectrum CBD: Contains CBD and other hemp compounds but is generally processed to remove THC.
CBD Isolate: A purified form of CBD containing little to no other cannabinoids.
The exact cannabinoid profile varies by product, so reviewing its Certificate of Analysis is recommended.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants.
They contribute to the distinctive aromas and flavors associated with different cannabis varieties.
Common examples include myrcene, limonene, pinene, and linalool.
Why Does My CBD Oil Sometimes Look or Taste Different?
Natural hemp extracts may vary slightly in color, aroma, and flavor between batches.
Differences in plant material, extraction methods, and formulation can influence these characteristics.
If you notice an unusual change or have concerns about a product, please contact our customer support team before using it.
Delta-9 THC & Hemp-Derived Edibles
What Is Delta-9 THC?
Delta-9 THC, or Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of the primary intoxicating cannabinoids naturally found in cannabis.
It is responsible for many of the psychoactive effects commonly associated with marijuana.
Delta-9 THC can also be found in hemp-derived products, including certain gummies, beverages, and other edibles.
Is Hemp-Derived Delta-9 THC Legal?
Hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products may qualify as federally lawful under applicable hemp regulations, but there are important restrictions.
The 2018 Farm Bill established a definition of hemp based on a Delta-9 THC concentration of no more than 0.3% by dry weight.
However, federal hemp regulations are changing, and individual states may impose additional restrictions on THC potency, product types, manufacturing, and sales.
Important: Customers are responsible for reviewing applicable state and local laws before purchasing.

What Is the Difference Between Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC?
Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC are closely related cannabinoids with similar chemical structures.
Both can produce intoxicating effects, although Delta-9 THC is generally considered more potent than Delta-8 THC.
Individual experiences vary depending on the product, serving size, and personal tolerance.
Both cannabinoids may result in a positive drug test.
Will Delta-9 THC Get Me High?
Yes. Delta-9 THC is an intoxicating cannabinoid that can produce psychoactive effects.
The intensity and duration of those effects depend on factors such as serving size, individual tolerance, metabolism, and product formulation.
Always follow the product's recommended serving instructions and avoid taking additional servings too quickly.
How Long Do Delta-9 Gummies Take to Work?
THC gummies and other edibles generally take longer to produce noticeable effects than inhaled cannabis.
Effects may begin within approximately 30 minutes to 2 hours, but onset can take longer for some individuals.
Important: Wait at least 2 hours before considering an additional serving, and remember that full effects may take up to 4 hours.
Taking additional THC too soon can increase the risk of unpleasant effects.
How Long Do THC Edibles Last?
The effects of THC edibles commonly last approximately 4 to 8 hours, although some effects may persist longer.
Duration depends on serving size, metabolism, tolerance, and other individual factors.
Avoid driving or operating machinery after consuming intoxicating THC products.
What Is the Difference Between THC Gummies and THC Drinks?
Both THC gummies and beverages provide an alternative to inhaled cannabis.
Gummies are traditional edible products that are digested and absorbed through the gastrointestinal system.
Some THC beverages use specialized formulations that may produce a different onset experience.
Effects and onset times vary by product. Always review the label and follow the recommended serving instructions.
Can THC Products Cause a Positive Drug Test?
Yes. Hemp-derived THC products can result in a positive drug test.
Most standard drug tests do not distinguish between THC originating from hemp and THC originating from marijuana.
Even some CBD products may contain enough THC to affect drug testing.
If you are subject to workplace, military, or other drug testing, avoiding cannabinoid products containing THC is the safest approach.
Do I Need a Medical Marijuana Card to Purchase Hemp Products?
A medical marijuana card is generally not required to purchase qualifying hemp-derived products where their retail sale is permitted.
However, product availability and purchasing requirements vary by jurisdiction.
Bell Family Dispensary follows applicable age and sales restrictions.
