CBD FAQ's

What Is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in hemp and marijuana. It is one of the many cannabinoid compounds found in cannabis and has no psychoactive effects. CBD is used for its potential health benefits such as reducing anxiety, pain, and inflammation.

Is CBD Legal?

The short answer is YES, all hemp CBD products sold by BlueTerra are legal to purchase and use freely.

However, on a grander scale, the legality of CBD products depends on two main factors:

1. Where you live

2. How the CBD is derived.

In the United States, CBD sourced from hemp (which contains less than 0.3% THC) was federally legalized with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. This law made hemp-derived CBD products legal as long as they meet the THC threshold. However, state laws can vary, with some states having stricter regulations regarding CBD sales, use, and possession.

CBD derived from marijuana, which typically contains higher levels of THC, remains illegal at the federal level, though some states have legalized it for medicinal or recreational use.

What Does THC-free Mean?

THC-free is defined as below the level of detection using validated scientific methods.

Can THC-free CBD cause me to fail a drug test?

THC-free CBD products are unlikely to make you fail a drug test because they are specifically formulated to exclude THC, the psychoactive compound that most drug tests look for.

However, it’s important to understand that not all CBD products labeled as “THC-free” are 100% guaranteed to be completely free of THC. There are a few reasons why someone using a THC-free CBD product might still test positive:

  1. Cross-contamination: In some cases, trace amounts of THC could be present due to cross-contamination during the manufacturing process, especially if the company also produces full-spectrum CBD products.

  2. Mislabeling: Unfortunately, some CBD products are not always accurately labeled. A study found that some products contained more THC than advertised, leading to potential issues with drug tests.

  3. Sensitivity of the Drug Test: Some drug tests are highly sensitive and might detect very tiny traces of THC that could theoretically be present in broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate products due to manufacturing inconsistencies.

To minimize the risk, it’s crucial to purchase CBD products from a reputable brand, like BlueTerra, that conducts third-party lab testing to confirm the absence of THC. Always check the product’s Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure it’s truly THC-free.

What Is a Typical Dose of CBD? How Much Should I Take?

Your “perfect dosage” of CBD depends on your individual needs, body weight, and how your body responds to CBD.

A good general rule is to start low and go slow, especially if you’re new to CBD.

For most people:

  • If you’re new to CBD, it’s recommended to start with one 25 mg gummy and assess how you feel after a few hours. For some, 25 mg may be enough to experience desired effects like relaxation or relief from mild discomfort.
  • If you have experience with CBD or are using it for more targeted reasons like sleep support or managing discomfort, you might consider taking 1-2 gummies (25-50 mg total). However, always increase your dose gradually to see how your body responds.

 

Remember, everyone metabolizes CBD differently, and the ideal dosage can vary. It’s always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional if you’re unsure about what dosage is right for you, especially if you’re taking medications or have specific health concerns.

Functional Mushroom FAQ's

What are functional mushrooms?

Functional mushrooms are types of mushrooms that provide potential health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

Unlike common culinary mushrooms, functional mushrooms contain bioactive compounds like beta-glucans, polysaccharides, and antioxidants that may support overall wellness.

These mushrooms, such as reishi, lion’s mane, chaga, and cordyceps, have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to promote immune health, enhance cognitive function, reduce stress, and increase energy.

Today, they are commonly found in supplements, powders, and teas designed to boost specific aspects of health. You’ll find them in several of our BlueTerra Gummy formulas!

Are functional mushrooms safe?

Yes, functional mushrooms are generally considered safe for most people, especially when taken in recommended dosages.

They have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. However, it’s important to be mindful of potential allergies, digestive sensitivities, or interactions with medications.

Some functional mushrooms may affect blood sugar levels, immune function, or blood clotting, so individuals with conditions like diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or those on blood thinners should consult with a healthcare professional before use.

As with any supplement, it’s best to start with a low dose and monitor your body’s response.

Do functional mushrooms have psychedelic properties like "magic mushrooms"?

No, functional mushrooms are not psychedelic.

While psychedelic mushrooms, such as those containing psilocybin, can alter perception and cognition, functional mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane, chaga, and cordyceps do not have psychoactive properties.

Instead, functional mushrooms are used to support general health and wellness, including immune function, mental clarity, and stress relief, without causing any mind-altering effects.

It’s important to differentiate between functional mushrooms and psychedelic mushrooms, as they serve very different purposes.
