Full Spectrum CBD Oil Questions
The color of CBD oil is dependent on a couple of factors and generally is a good way to tell what quality of product you are buying / looking at. CBD oil can range from a light gold color to an almost black or dark brown color. Generally speaking the darker the color, the more concentrated the product is. CBD Isolate or CBD by itself is an almost clear color. Full-spectrum CBD oil is a darker color as it is a more concentrated hemp extract.
Factors affecting the color include the carrier oil, additional ingredients, and the methods of extraction. Additional ingredients tend to include added flavors which vary from brand to brand as well as different products within one brand. Some methods of extraction include, CO2 extraction, Steam distillation, hydrocarbon solvent extraction, and natural solvent extraction.
Laura’s Mercantile CBD oil is golden in color and our product is as close to the natural plant as possible, meaning that they are full spectrum and contain the maximum amount of benefits.
There are several factors that play into how long CBD will remain in your system including metabolism, BMI, frequency of CBD use, CBD dosage, and method of administration (sublingual vs. topical vs. edible). A slower metabolism will mean that it will take longer for the CBD to leave the system. The food in your digestive system at the time of ingestion can also affect the bioavailability in your body, meaning that certain foods can increase the absorption of CBD.
Sublingual ingestion (placing a dose under the tongue) is considered to be more effective than ingestion. “Effective” in this scenario means a higher amount of absorption in a shorter period of time.
There is still not enough research regarding the toxicology of CBD and how long it is detectable in blood or urine. Existing research indicates that CBD will most likely leave the system within 1-2 weeks.
The FDA has not approved CBD oils at this time. But, the leadership at Laura’s Mercantile is currently working with the staff of Kentucky’s congressional delegation. Specifically, we are working with U.S. Senate Majority Leader McConnell’s staff to work with the FDA in order to follow policies and procedures for Laura’s Homestead Alternatives to be FDA compliant.
CBD, derived from hemp, is legal in all 50 states. The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the DEA’s purview and removed hemp as a Schedule I substance. Therefore, the production and sale of hemp and its extracts are legal, so long as the hemp from which the CBD is extracted contains no more than 0.3% THC. The USDA confirmed in its memo that states cannot interfere with the commerce of help or its derivatives.
Full spectrum CBD oil means the product contains many cannabinoids beyond CBD, such as CBD, CBDV, CBN, CBG, THC delta9, THC delta8, THCV, CBG, CDC, THCA and CBDA. Full spectrum CBD oil also contains other compounds from the hemp plant, including naturally-occurring terpenes, essential vitamins, fatty acids, protein and more.
There are different strengths of CBD oil. Generally, CBD oil is sold in bottles containing a certain number of milligrams of CBD, so you may see 750mg, 1500mg, 3000mg bottles and so on. This number references the total milligrams of CBD in the bottle, not per dose.
Measuring strength is dependent upon the size of the bottle. For example, a 2oz. bottle that contains 1500mg of CBD is half as concentrated as a 2oz. bottle that contains 3000mg of CBD. This means a 1mL dose of the 1500mg bottle is half as “strong” as 1mL from the 3000mg bottle.
