What’s the difference between THC & CBD?
THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana that gives the “high” sensation. It can be consumed by smoking marijuana. It’s also available in oils, edibles, tinctures, capsules, and more.

CBD and THC don’t have the same psychoactive effects. In fact, CBD is a non-psychoactive compound. That means it doesn’t produce the “high” associated with THC.
THC is heavily regulated in the United States and its use is still controversial. Some people may prefer to use CBD products without THC because of the lack of this side effect.
Can I get a positive urine test from CBD made from hemp?
Hemp has less than .3% THC in it. Any hemp product that does not state on the bottle “Zero THC” has some THC in it. So, statistically speaking, if your product has THC and you take enough of it then yes you could still test positive. If this is a concern then make sure you use products guaranteed to have absolutely no THC in them. Like ours!
What’s the difference between CBD creams, lotions and salves?
The real difference between cbd creams, lotions and salves is the quantity of water used to make them. CBD salves are not produced with any water, which makes them a thicker consistency than cbd lotions.
Each individual determines what product is appropriate for their condition. Though it’s safe to say that whether you’re suffering from muscle aches, dry skin, arthritis or pain in general, topical CBD application is a great alternative when it comes to localized relief.
