Some Basic CBD Knowledge

What is CBD?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a major phytocannabinoid found in hemp (Cannabis sativa L). In the last 20 years, hemp has been specifically bred to have high levels of CBD and low levels of THC. Current federal regulations classify hemp as less than 0.3% THC. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive component in cannabis.  Merrymeeting Bay Hemp Company cannot give medical advice nor suggest that its products “prevent, treat or cure” any specific disease or condition, but we would be glad to respond to your specific questions and try to point you in the right direction regarding our products. We’re happy to see how many mainstream physicians and health care providers are now noticing what these ancient plant products can provide, and we urge you to mention CBD to your doctors and to share any stories you may have.

FAQ

How much should I take?

Merrymeeting Bay Hemp Company cannot legally prescribe dosage amounts of CBD for specific conditions. 

Dosage serving sizes can vary widely from person to person. Please consult with your health care provider prior to starting any program if you have questions.

What is the endocannabinoid system?

Our bodies produce endogenous cannabinoids.  These endocannabinoids have their own network of receptors known as the Endocannbinoid System. The 2 main receptors in this system are known as CB1 and CB2 and when activated they are responsible for a multitude of body and brain processes, primarily related to maintaining homeostasis.

Do your products contain THC?

Yes, our products contain a very small amount THC because they are made with Whole Plant Full Spectrum Hemp oil extract.

Full Spectrum extract contains all of the phytocannabinoids and phytonutrients of the hemp plant which contribute to the entourage effect- all of the plant compounds working together synergistically.

The amount of THC in our products does not exceed the federally mandated levels of 0.3%.

This means that all of our products are 100% legal under federal law.

Please refer to individual product test results

What about drug testing after using our products?

Depending upon your state, it is possible that the tiny amount of THC in our products could be detected.

If you’re worried about this we recommend having a discussion with your employer before you begin using our products.

Do your products contain heavy metals?

We test all of our extracts for heavy metals. Third party licensed laboratories conduct these tests.

Please see individual product test results

Is it legal in my state?

Each state has its own laws concerning hemp and CBD, and at the moment, these laws are undergoing rapid change.

Please check with your state government to be sure you and the CBD products you purchase are in compliance.

What is the grapefruit warning?

If a pharmaceutical drugs that you are taking have this “grapefruit warning,” then it is best to assume that this applies to CBD as well.

CBD has been shown to have effects on what is called the P450 enzyme pathway. These enzymes are connected with digesting/metabolizing certain drugs.

Grapefruit is the most widely known such food that interacts with this pathway, and hence the “grapefruit warning.”

We recommend always to check with your doctor if you are taking prescribed drugs to see if this will be a concern.
