FAQs

About CBD

CBD, what is it?

Cannabidiol or CBD; is a compound (cannabinoid) that has a wide range of benefits. Unlike the most common cannabinoid THC; CBD does not make people feel “stoned” and actually enhances some beneficial effects while reducing the euphoric high.

CBD from hemp?

Chemically CBD is CBD, regardless of the source. The primary difference between hemp and marijuana derived CBD products is that when sourced from marijuana CBD typically (but not always) contains greater quantities of terpenes and other cannabinoids and and more than 400 trace compounds. Our CBD is derived from hemp.

Will CBD get me high?

CBD is “non-psychotropic” meaning it does not have potential to get you high. Infact, CBD is known to reduce the ‘high’ caused by marijuanas other main chemical THC.

CBD Laws

Why is CBD legal?

There are currently no legal restrictions on CBD products produced from hemp,

CBD is considered a health supplement by the FDA; meaning it is not yet classified or scheduled as a drug.

CBD, how is it legal? How can it be mailed?

Because the FDA considers hemp-derived cannabinoids (like CBD) to be food-based products (so long as they are free from THC), there are no restrictions on their use in the United States or most of the industrialized world.

Products from GreenWay always contain less than .03% THC (the chemical which makes you high) by weight, making them legal to ship anywhere.

What does the Federal government have to say about CBD?

The United States Department of Health and Human Services has held patent 6,630,507 titled ‘Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants.’ since 2001.

In this patent, the claim is made that:

Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia.

Cannabidiol has been studied as an antiepileptic (Carlini et al., J. Clin. Pharmacol. 21:417S-427S, 1981; Karler et al., J. Clin. Pharmacol. 21:437S-448S, 1981, Consroe et al., J. Clin Phannacol. 21:428S-436S, 1981).

Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention.

Purchasing CBD

Does CBD require a medical card?

CBD products do not require that you register with your state’s medical program so long as the products do not contain THC.

If you would like products with THC, you will need to obtain them from a medical marijuana dispensary, which will require a medical card.

Why do I need a medical card if CBD is legal?

It is important to understand that CBD and other compounds work together to produce greater therapeutic effects than any of the substances on their own.

Think of CBD products as therapeutic supplements to add an extra kick to your medicine.

What to look for when purchasing products from a dispensary:

  • Clear Labels: Look for labels showing the quantity of CBD and THC per dose, the number of doses in the package, a manufacturing date, and batch number.
  • Lab Testing: Look for products that are tested and verified to be free of mold, bacteria, pesticides, solvents, and other contaminants.
  • Quality Ingredients: Select products with quality ingredients. Low levels of sugar, trans fats, and artificial additives.
  • Safe Extraction: Look for products that are produced with a safe method of extraction like supercritical CO2, Steam distillation, Vegetable glycerin, or Alcohol.

Will CBD help me with my illness?

Due to FDA regulations, we cannot make claims about whether or not CBD will help with specific ailments.

How much CBD do I need for my condition?

The amount of CBD recommended to treat specific conditions and relieve discomfort will vary for everyone. We have had patients tell us that 5mg daily has made all the difference for them, others have required significantly more.

CBD, how do I use it?

There have been no reported cases of poisoning or serious side effects have following the use of CBD

While there is no standardized recommended dosage, patients have reported experiencing desired effects with doses ranging from 5 mg to 1000 mg and more.

How long do I need to take CBD to feel an effect?

Some patients report a sense of well being and relief soon after their first dose, others report that the effects become much more pronounced after several days or weeks of regular consistent doses. We tend to believe that this will vary based upon each patient’s unique body chemistry, ailment, lifestyle, and expectations.

Will I feel the CBD working?

CBD is subtle, its effects are less dramatic than that of THC, prescription narcotics, alcohol, or benzodiazepines.

Patients have reported that rather than making them “Feel Good” CBD has allowed them to feel “less bad”.

Will CBD show up on a drug test?

Our products contain CBD which is LEGAL and not a chemical which is screened for as it does not cause a high and is rarely used for recreational purposes.

Our products contain CBD which is LEGAL and not a chemical which is screened for as it does not cause a high and is rarely used for recreational purposes.
