Whether your CBD contains THC or not, is the exact deciding factor between the quality of CBD derived from Hemp and CBD derived from Flower. While both products offer a very fast-acting experience, CBD flower delivers a whole-plant experience because it hasn’t lost any of its cannabinoids, terpenes, or other active compounds during extraction. Full – spectrum CBD products contain small amounts of other cannabinoids, like THC, as well as flavonoids and terpenes, which are beneficial compounds that provide unique scents, flavours and healing properties. CBD isolate products go through further refining, so they ONLY contain CBD, and thus lose out on the beneficial compounds associated with even trace amounts of THC. With CBD isolate, you’ll miss out on any benefits from the entourage effect. Even though research from 2015 suggests that taking CBD alone may still be beneficial, it’s just not nearly as beneficial, which is why we ethically can’t carry that stuff, and absolutely refuse to. We feel that anything other than full spectrum CBD is a waste of your money.

Will the THC in full spectrum CBC cream get me high?

This is the main reason why most people look for CBD that has no THC. Let us be clear: the trace amounts of THC are only enough to give you the good benefits, like antioxidants, anti inflammation , encouraging sebum production, and soothing sensitive skin. As a bonus, your skin full spectrum CBD skin cream will also give you other CBD health benefits like anti-anxiety, pain relief, better sleeps, relaxation, and less stress…all of which is great for the skin!

 

Here are a few cases where you might want to consider a CBD-only cream

1. If you have to undergo drug testing, full-spectrum CBD may be more likely to show up on a drug test. However, there may be a slight possibility that isolate products will show up, too. Even “THC-free” CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC. Why would you risk thinking you’re going to pass a drug test only to find out that the “pure” cbd isolate left you with THC in your system. You may as well dive in and get the real deal.
2. If you want to take large doses of CBD. Isolate allows you to take higher doses of CBD without worrying about the subtle effects of a small amount of THC. In the case of skin cream, you aren’t really going to be doing high doses so it’s not relevant.
