The short answer is no, CBD will not get you high. Yes, it is a cannabinoid, but it does not produce the psychoactive results that tetrahydrocannabinol – otherwise known as THC – provides. CBD does not interact with the same receptors as THC. 2

Full spectrum CBD is a specific type of extract where the entire plant is used for extraction. That means that everything, including the leaf, stalk, and seeds, are processed to make the full spectrum oil. The final product includes all naturally present cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and fatty acids. This is often referred to as the “entourage effect.” In full-spectrum CBD from hemp, a legal, trace amount of THC is present (less than .3 percent, not enough to cause a “high”). Broad Spectrum CBD extracts are produced in one of two ways: (1) THC is removed from the full spectrum extract, or (2) CBD isolate is combined with other isolated cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, in an attempt to mimic the full spectrum effect without the THC. CBD isolate is pure CBD and does not contain any other cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids or fatty acids naturally present in the product unless they were added separately.  Without the ability to offer an entourage effect, it’s often assumed that CBD isolate lacks the efficiency that full-spectrum products provide. 3

No, and here is the difference. Cannabis sativa seed oil and hempseed oil are the same thing: a cold-pressed oil that is extracted from the seeds of the cannabis sativa or hemp plant. They are perfectly good seed oil and they are high in antioxidants, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. However, they contain no CBD. 4

Cannabinoids are active chemical compounds found naturally in the seeds, stalk and flowers of cannabis plants. Phytocannabinoids, a term used to describe cannabinoids derived from plants, are able to interact with our body’s natural systems because their makeups and behaviors mimic endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are synthesized on demand by our own bodies. 5 

Despite both being cannabinoids, CBD and THC interact with slightly different receptors in a person’s brain. As a result, CBD is unlikely to get an individual high. On the other hand, THC produces the high people associate with using marijuana recreationally. 6

Endocannabinoids, also called endogenous cannabinoids, are molecules made by your body. They’re similar to cannabinoids, but they’re produced by your body. Endocannabinoid receptors are found throughout your body. Endocannabinoids bind to them in order to signal that the ECS needs to take action. 7

CBD is federally legal in the United States as long as it contains less than .3 percent of THC.

We use CO2 extraction that leaves the oil in a more natural form and allows the terpenes (taste) to stay intact. We’re also very particular in the varietals that we choose for extraction.  We continue to refine our genetic selection to give us desirable cannabinoid structure, taste, and smell. That comes through the tedious process of growing several varieties of hemp and breeding/selecting the best ones.

We are dedicated to clean, green and truly organic practices. Our sun-grown hemp is fed only organic meal and compost teas. The plants are either watered naturally by rainfall or irrigated with all-natural spring water sourced right on the farm.

Yes! We have an abundance of beneficial insects, which are used in lieu of chemicals to protect the plant from predatory, harmful pests..

There are several factors that can affect the price of a CBD product. One of these reasons is how the CBD is extracted. Lower quality CBD products may use undesirable extraction methods, using cheaper solvents to extract CBD. As mentioned above, Lush Valley uses the highest quality method of extraction, the CO2 process, which uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull the desired phytochemicals from the plant. Another reason for cost differences could be the amount of CBD milligrams in the product.

Sometimes CBD is referred to as hemp extract, hemp extract oil, hemp CBD, or phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil.

Perhaps the CBD wasn’t from a reputable source or the dosage wasn’t right for your body. CBD needs time to build up in your system, so it could also be that you gave up too soon. Our CBD is the highest quality, so try it again and give it a little more time.
