Frequently Asked Questions
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is known as a cannabinoid and can be found in the cannabis plant. Research shows that CBD can act as a neurotransmitter and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
What is CBD Oil?
CBD oil is a natural, essential oil. It is extracted from the flowers and leaves of cannabis plants. It is used for several reasons, but mainly for therapeutic and dietary purposes.
What are Cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are active compounds that cannabis plants produce. Scientists argue that cannabis has many health benefits, these cannabinoids are why. These cannabinoids, when found in the plants, are referred to as phytocannabinoids and they mimic neurotransmitters, which in human bodies we call endocannabinoids.
How Does CBD Work?
CBD acts as a neurotransmitter, which helps regulate bodily systems at the cellular level. Research shows that CBD has positive effects on our body’s immune, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and digestive systems.
What is Hemp Seed Oil?
Hemp Seed oil is different from CBD oil. CBD is produced by extracting essential oils from cannabis flowers, while Hemp Seed oil is produced by pressing the plant’s seeds. But the biggest difference between the two oils is that Hemp Seed oil does not have cannabinoids, which are what makes CBD such a health tool.
What is the difference between CBD and hemp?
Hemp and CBD has distinct differences. The former is a family of cannabis strains that people grow for food and fibers, while CBD is a molecular compound that comes from cannabis plant extracts. The CBD used here, by Kasia Organics, is derived from PCR Hemp (phytocannbinoid-rich hemp) and is far more richer in CBD than other cannabinoids derived from basic hemp plants.
What is the difference between CBD oil and Hemp Seed oil?
CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant’s flowers, while Hemp Seed oil is produced by pressing the plant’s seeds. Thus, the difference is that the latter does not have CBD or terpenes, the compounds that promote all the positive effects.
Is your product safe?
To date, scientists know of no incidences of illness caused using CBD oil. All our products here at Kasia Organics go through strict testing procedures that guarantee they are free of THC and any other harmful contaminants.
What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?
While both hemp and marijuana are types of cannabis, there are several differences. Marijuana, notably, has high levels of the cannabinoid THC (this is what causes the high). Hemp, on the other hand, has a negligible amount of THC. Because of the THC differences, marijuana is considered a drug while hemp is not. Kasia Organics products go through a process where any traces of THC are removed from the products.
What is CBD used for?
Many people use CBD to support the body’s natural systems. Cannabinoids are an integral part of the human body’s ability to regulate and balance a wide variety of physiological systems.
Does your product have THC?
No, all Kasia Organics products are THC-free because of our testing procedures that removes any residual THC from our extract.
Are there traces of THC in CBD oil?
In raw hemp extract, yes. However, all products at Kasia Organics are THC-free because of our technology that removes residual THC from our hemp extract.
Can I see your lab reports?
Of course. On all of our bottles you can find a QR code that will take you to our lab results
Why should I choose CBD over medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis, or medical marijuana, contains THC, which will get you high. More so, medical cannabis can cause some severe impairments. Now, CBD, because of its lack of THC, is not a psychotropic, and therefore, will not get you high. Thus, you can use it throughout the day, while at work, in the car, during exercise, etc.
Can your products cure/treat my condition?
The FDA has not approved CBD oil in the treatment of any condition. Consult with a qualified medical professional to determine if your health could benefit from CBD.
What does “broad spectrum” mean?
Broad spectrum refers to CBD products that have combinations of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds found in PCR hemp. So broad spectrum CBD oil provides more healthy compounds than say, CBD isolate. At Kasia Organics, our oils maintain the same concentration of beneficial compounds that is found in PCR hemp.
Is broad spectrum CBD oil psychoactive?
Because we use broad-spectrum CBD products, all traces of THC have been removed. Therefore, our products do not get you high.
Will I feel any effects from using CBD products?
Organic compounds such as CBD can produce different effects in different people. Your results may vary.
Can I overdose on CBD?
No. There is no record of anyone ever overdosing on CBD. With our products being THC free and CBD being non-toxic, you don’t have to worry about overdosing.
What are the benefits of taking broad spectrum CBD products?
People who use broad spectrum CBD report many benefits: improved mood, reduced anxiety and stress, reduced pain, etc. With broad spectrum, these benefits are usually greater for them than if they had taken non-broad-spectrum products; notably CBD-isolate. At Kasia Organics, all our products are broad-spectrum. But remember, everyone will react differently to these products so your results may vary.
What are terpenes?
Terpenes are a volatile hydrocarbon compound that cannabis flowers produce. Terpenes have been used throughout history in aromatherapy as they have a distinct aroma. The FDA found terpenes to be safe for humans and are used in a wide variety of food and cosmetic products.
What is the best way to take CBD?
There are many ways to take CBD. Below is a list of the most effective delivery methods:
- Vaping—because it involved inhaling a vaporized oil, it is the most effective.
- Softgels—We use a special technology that makes these more bioavailable, and further, the pest oral suppository.
- Nasal Spray—This is a future product that we are researching.
- Sublingual—This is accomplished by putting a tincture under your tongue and holding it there for 45-60 seconds.
- Oromucosal—This is a mouth spray that we are developing now.
- Transdermal Topical—This is a patch that you would apply to your skin.
- Topical—This is a cream, salve, balm, or lotion that you apply to your skin. Because of our bioavailability, these topical treatments work much faster than others. You just need to make sure you rub it in well.
- Edible—This is anything made with CBD where you can eat it.
Remember, the best way to take CBD will depend on why you are taking it. If it is for health maintenance, then capsules or tinctures are probably best. However, if you’re treating something in particular, consult with your doctor before you try any of these as they may recommend a method.
What is a CBD tincture?
A tincture is made from CBD. People will either swallow it or place it under the tongue. The latter allows the CBD to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, which will shorten the time before you feel the effects. However, when consumed orally, it must travel through the digestive system, slowing down the effects.
Is it possible to take too much CBD?
CBD is non-toxic, so there are no ill effects of taking too much and overdosing. However, CBD, in extreme quantities, may cause drowsiness.
How much CBD is in your products?
At Kasia Organics, we offer highly potent products. But the amount of CBD varies between our many products. I would recommend you look at each label, individually, for exact CBD concentrations.
What is the ideal serving size?
There is no “ideal” serving size. Everyone is different. CBD dosages depend on several factors why are you using it, the administration method, sex, age, weight, diet, exercise, etc. Scientists recommend servings of 5 to 500 milligrams per day. Now, in more severe cases, higher servings may be advised. If this is the case with you, make sure you consult your doctor first.
How often can I take CBD?
You can take CBD multiple times a day, depending on why you are using it.
Are there any negative side effects?
Researchers have not found any side effects. But remember, extreme quantities may cause drowsiness.
What kind of testing/analysis is performed on your products?
All products here at Kasia Organics go through rigorous testing by both in-house and third-party labs. These tests assure the purity and concentrations of cannabinoids. They also include tests for THC and any potential contaminants.
Do you test for potency, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and residual solvents?
Yes, our products go through a series of rigorous tests to assure their purity and concentrations of cannabinoids. Our testing also makes sure there is no THC or any potential contaminants in our products.
Will CBD get me high?
No. CBD, unlike marijuana, does not have THC. It is a non-psychoactive and does not cause the high that marijuana does.
Will I need a marijuana card or doctor’s prescription to use CBD products?
No, CBD is not a drug so you will not need to produce a medical marijuana card before purchase. With that in mind, some states have laws that allow doctors to prescribe CBD to patients.
Does CBD have a shelf life?
CBD does not have an expiration date. Now, CBD oil products can degrade over time. Thus, I recommend that you consume them in within a certain period. To prevent this degradation, store them in airtight containers and place them in either the refrigerator or in a dark, cool place. Refer to your product for expiration dates and more information.
How should I store CBD products? Do I need to refrigerate them?
I highly recommend either refrigeration or storing them in dark, cool places. Remember to keep your products in airtight containers.
Will CBD oil show up on a drug test?
Kasia Organics can not, and does not represent or warrant as to the results that any individual may experience, and advises you to consider the risks of incorrect detection before use of this product. Under normal circumstances, our products are not expected to produce a positive result for THC consumption through testing conducted using industry-standard sophisticated testing methods.
Will CBD help me if I’m healthy?
CBD is often used by those who don’t have any specific concerns.
Does CBD interact with other medications?
Research shows that CBD may affect the metabolism of certain drugs. But these effects are shown the be minimal. There needs to be more research in this area, but if you’re taking prescription medications make sure that you talk to your doctor before use.
How long will it take to receive benefits from taking CBD oil?
Depending on how you use CBD, you may feel it instantaneously (vaporizer or sublingual tincture). However, most products take some time, usually about a half an hour or so. Remember, this will vary from person to person.
What method of extraction do you use?
At Kasia Organics all our products have broad spectrum CBD and are produced by a gentle extraction method. We use a gentle process because it will retain as much of the beneficial compounds as possible.
Is your product organic? Vegan-friendly?
Our products are gown organically because of hemp’s ability to absorb everything in the ground. All our products, except for softgels and salves, are vegan-friendly. WE are currently looking into the process of a vegan softgel.
I have a gluten allergy; can I use your products?
Of course. All the products at Kasia Organics are gluten-free.
Can I give my pet CBD?
Yes, CBD is safe for pets. We recommend our Dog Treats and natural flavored tinctures. It is important that you talk to your vet before you start your pet on CBD products.
What is the endocannabinoid system?
The human endocannabinoids system is full of neurotransmitters and cell membrane receptors. These neurotransmitters are produced by the central nervous system. They interact with cannabinoid receptors to adjust physiological processes at a cellular level.
What is the entourage effect?
Broad spectrum CBD, which is what we use here at Kasia Organics, has a variety of cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds. Each of these compounds effects the body in their own way and when you combine the effects of all these compounds, they become greater than the sum of the individual effects. Thus, it creates what is known as the entourage effect. This is one reason we have broad spectrum CBD rather than isolate.
Is CBD water soluble?
In its natural state, no, CBD oil is not water soluble. However, our softgels are encapsulate the CBD oil into nano-sized emulsion particles. These are water soluble, which allows the CBD oil to be carried through the bloodstream. Our dog treats and energy mix are also water soluble.
How do I choose the product that is right for me?
This depends on why you are looking to take CBD, as well as other factors such as age and weight. If you are looking to use it for maintenance, then tinctures or capsules are best. If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor about what is best for you.
How does your product differ from others?
Kasia Organics products are developed for high potency and easy absorption. This is what makes our products top of the line. They are also all THC free and broad spectrum. By making our products water soluble we get a better bioavailability, which leads to more CBD absorption in your body. Couple this with our use of the finest ingredients and no harsh solvents that can degrade the compounds, and that is how our products differ.
