The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a part of our body’s nervous system. It comprises a vast network of chemical signals and cellular receptors that are densely packed throughout our brains and bodies. The ECS regulates and controls many of our most critical bodily functions, such as learning and memory, emotional processing, sleep, temperature control, pain control, inflammatory and immune responses and eating.

Understanding CBD
The effects of ingestible products can be felt as early as 15 minutes but can take up to 45 minutes depending on the individual. Most topical products will provide relief within 15 to 30 minutes.
Full spectrum means the product contains many cannabinoids beyond CBD, such as CBN, CBDV, THCV, CBG, CBC, THCA, and CBDA, as well as other compounds from the hemp plant, including naturally occurring terpenes, essential vitamins, fatty acids, protein and more. For more information, read Full spectrum vs. Broad spectrum vs. Isolate CBD – What is the difference?
In an isolate, the CBD molecule is chemically isolated from all other compounds in the hemp plant, resulting in a powder substance, which is then mixed with a carrier. There is no THC in an isolate product. For more information, read Full spectrum vs. Broad spectrum vs. Isolate CBD – What is the difference?
The entourage effect is the theory that all the compounds in the cannabis plant work together, and when taken together, they produce a better, stronger effect than when taken alone. For more information, read Full spectrum vs. Broad spectrum vs. Isolate CBD – What is the difference?
Every person is different, and how CBD works within your body is different so there may be side effects. Some customers have observed dry mouth when ingesting products. Some people might experience mild tiredness during the day which may be a sign that they’ve taken a little more than they need. Please consult your physician if you have any questions or concerns.
About Hemp
Delta-9 is one type of THC cannabinoid that exists in the hemp plant. It is the most abundant form of THC, and most of the research done on THC has been done on Delta-9. All THC in any hemp product in Minnesota is supposed to be Delta-9.
Hemp is the plant. CBD is one cannabinoid called Cannabidiol. You can tell the amount of CBD in our products by the number on the front label. Our products also contain other cannabinoids and other items from the hemp plant, such as terpenes. To learn more about CBD and hemp, read The ABC’s of CBD vs. THC
Some products are made from hemp seed oil, where you extract the seeds from the plant and extract the fatty oil. Hemp oil is very different from CBD oil. Hemp oil contains very few cannabinoids compared to CBD. CBD is extracted from the flowering part of the hemp plant, typically the buds and flowers.
Using Our Products

Yes. Our products are always entirely vegan.
The body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that receives and translates systems from cannabinoids. It produces cannabinoids of its own, which are called endo cannabinoids. The ECS helps regulate functions such as sleep, immune system responses and pain.
CBD influences the body to use its own endocannabinoids more effectively and work with other systems in the body to manage pain. Activating the ECS to help reduce pain is a great way to avoid opioids, which affect parts of the brain that control your breathing and heart.
No. While many of our products have THC in them, we only use enough to achieve the entourage effect, which is how CBD and THC work together to provide the most benefit. There is no psychoactive response to any of our products.
Like consuming poppy seeds may lead to a positive drug test for opioids, CBD products may lead to a positive drug test for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), especially in full-spectrum products that use small amounts of THC. Hemp has considerably more CBD than THC in it – hemp has less than .3% THC.
Even if you take a CBD isolate, consult your healthcare provider and employer before consuming any hemp products if you are subject to drug testing. For more information on the composition and effects of full-spectrum versus isolate products, read Full spectrum vs. Broad spectrum vs. Isolate CBD – What is the difference?

Some are darker, however, due to the flavor added to the CBD oil. Our mint-flavored tincture is typically darker than our plain tinctures.
As with any dietary supplement, we recommend consulting with your physician.
