  • What is CBD
    CBD is Cannabidiol, a naturally-occurring compound found in the stems, leaves, and flowers of the hemp plant (cannabis sativa). It is the most abundant non-intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis and is being widely studied for its healing properties. You may have heard of a cannabinoid called THC, a compound which is concentrated in certain strains of cannabis which gets users high. Unlike THC, CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicatingcannabinoid and does not cause a high.
  • Is CBD Legal?
    Yes. The United States made industrial hemp legal in all 50 states in 2018, defining hemp as cannabis plants with less than 0.3% THC by weight. We ship our CBD and hemp products anywhere in the country for free!
  • Is CBD different from Marijuana?
    Yes. CBD is non-intoxicating and non-addictive. There have been some minor side effects reported, mostly in relation to medication interactions. For example, CBD can increase the blood concentration of blood thinners and other medications, similar to the effect of grapefruit juice. That said, the vast majority of users report no side effects. Since CBD is marketed as a supplement as opposed to a medication, it is not subject to the same regulations as other drugs. Despite this lack of safety oversight, Franny’s Farmacy applies rigorous standards for purity and safety, ensuring that our products have consistent quality so our customers can expect consistent results.
  • Will I test positive on a drug test if I smoke CBD?
    That depends on the type of CBD you are consuming, the amount you take, your personal metabolism, and the type of test administered. We offer Hemp Oil Tincture which includes fractional content of the full cannabinoids in hemp, which include a small amount of THC. If you are a heavy user, some of this THC may accumulate in your body and cause a positive result. To eliminate this possibility, we offer a CBD Isolate, with only CBD in it for individuals who face drug testing. According to Quest Diagnostics Director of Science and Technology, Barry Sample, CBD likely won’t show up on a drug test: “If the product contains only CBD and has had the THC removed, then an individual being tested would not be expected to test positive for marijuana or marijuana metabolite.” If you are required to take a drug test for employment or any other reason, we advise you to speak with your employer or test administrator regarding the products you have used and the possibility of a positive result before you take the test.
  • Will CBD get me "high"?"
    No. CBD is non-intoxicating and will not get you “high” as the cannabinoid THC would. Users report clarity of mind while experiencing a calmative effect. At high doses, CBD may be sleep-inducing.
