FAQ for Caribbean Hemp Co.
We understand that you might have some questions before trying CBD from the Caribbean Hemp Company. Check out our FAQ below to learn more about CBD, our products, and our brand.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in hemp that contains over 500 wellness compounds.
Yes! CBD is legal in all 50 states and territories, including Puerto Rico. Caribbean Hemp Company only uses quality hemp plants that contain less than 0.3% THC. The FDA considers hemp plants with this low THC level safe and legal.
No, you do not need a medical card. Our products are available to anyone over the age of 18.
No. CBD is non-psychoactive, so it will not get you high. The THC compound causes the psychoactive effects of hemp and cannabis plants. Hemp is a variation of the cannabis sativa plant with 0.3% THC, which is too small to produce a high.
CBD has many potential wellness benefits. Some people use it to support a good night's sleep, while others use it to manage anxiety and stress. CBD is also known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. The FDA has not evaluated these uses.
CBD works with the body's natural endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a system of receptors and cannabinoids that help regulate various functions in the body, such as pain, inflammation, and stress. CBD binds to receptors in the ECS to help support its function.
CBD is generally well tolerated, with few reported side effects. The most common side effect is tiredness, especially if taken in high doses. Other adverse responses include dry mouth, diarrhea, and changes in appetite.
CBD can interact with certain medications. We recommend talking to your doctor before taking any hemp products if you're taking any medication.
Yes! We believe in the power of whole flower CBD, which is why our oil is full-spectrum. This means that it contains all the compounds found in the hemp plant, including CBD, THC, terpenes, flavonoids, and more. THC levels are very low, less than 0.3%.
We understand many consumers prefer a THC-free product. The Caribbean Hemp Company is proud to offer a THC-free CBD.
Full-spectrum CBD contains all the compounds found in the hemp plant, including CBD, THC, terpenes, flavonoids, and more. THC-free or broad-spectrum CBD does not contain any THC.
Hemp oil comes from the hemp plant's seeds and does not contain cannabinoids, terpenes, or flavonoids. While it has plenty of nutritional value, hemp oil has no CBD. CBD extract comes from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant and contains high levels of CBD and other cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
Yes! We want you to feel confident in our products, so we send all of our products to third-party labs for testing. These lab reports are available on our website.
Our certificate of analysis confirms the potency and purity of our CBD oil. It also verifies no residual solvents, contaminants, or pesticides are present.
There are no one-size-fits-all dosage recommendations for CBD. It also varies depending on the method of administration. The best way to find the correct dose for you is to start with a small amount and increase the amount you take gradually until you achieve the desired effect.
Our CBD oil is designed to be used sublingually, which involves placing a few drops under your tongue and holding it there for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. This allows the CBD to be absorbed into your bloodstream quickly and efficiently.
We offer different strengths, formulas, and flavor options to suit your preferences. The oral method takes longer for the CBD to take effect, but it's a great way to enjoy the flavor of our oil. You can also add it to your favorite food or beverage.
We also have CBD tropical fruit chews with 10mg of our hemp extract per gummy. They're a delicious way to get your daily dose of CBD.
Another way to use CBD is by applying a cream or balm to your skin. It's not ingested, so it takes longer to work, but it can be a great way to target specific areas of pain or inflammation. An excellent benefit of a topical CBD is you can use it with other hemp products, such as our full-spectrum oil, for a synergistic effect.
This depends on the method of administration. Our CBD typically takes effect within 15-20 minutes when taken sublingually. It can take up to an hour before you start to feel the effects when ingested. Topicals are applied to the skin and take longer to work, but they can provide targeted relief. These take about 30 minutes to kick in.
Again, this depends on the method of administration. When taken sublingually, our CBD oil effects typically last 4-6 hours. When ingested, the results can last up to 8 hours. Topicals apply to the skin and work for around four hours.
We are proud to offer locally grown CBD products. We source our CBD oil from high-quality organic hemp plants grown in Puerto Rico. The soil here is rich in nutrients, which helps the plants thrive. The climate is also ideal for growing hemp.
Puerto Rico has a long history of hemp cultivation. It was one of the first places hemp was grown in the Americas. The island has a long tradition of natural healing, and we're proud to be a part of that.
When stored in a cool, dark place, our CBD has a shelf life of a minimum of 12 months.
No. Our products are only available in Puerto Rico.
