About CBD

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a nonintoxicating phytocannabinoid (a naturally occurring plant compound) found in hemp and other cannabis plants. CBD has been shown to have a variety of beneficial effects.

Unlike THC, another cannabinoid commonly found in marijuana, CBD does not cause a high. Full-spectrum CBD products (like ours) do contain <0.3% THC, but this amount is nowhere near enough to cause any psychoactive effects.

Technically, nothing. Hemp, also known as Cannabis sativa L., is actually a type of Cannabis plant—a larger plant genus that also includes marijuana plants. Over the years, the term “cannabis” has become culturally synonymous with marijuana or weed, but in fact, this category of plants includes both hemp and marijuana.

Yes! CBD is a federally legal due to the fact that it contains less than 0.3% THC.

Yes! The source of your CBD is one of the most important factors in determining whether your CBD regimen will be effective. For starters, the soil conditions used to grow the hemp plants your CBD is extracted from can set the final CBD product up for success or failure. At Verist, we choose the areas of our farm where we know the soil will be able to best nurture the right mix of cannabinoids and terpenes to produce the most therapeutic CBD. We also use clean, green, natural farming practices so no chemicals or pesticides are introduced to the crop—or into your body. But the most important differentiator in buying from a brand like Verist is the fact that our CBD comes from a single origin. This means that when you start a CBD regimen with our products, you’ll be able to experience more consistent benefits than you would with a brand who gets their CBD from a variety of different sources. When you choose a single-origin brand, you can be sure you’re getting exactly what you expect, every time.

To start, we recommend trying the recommended serving size marked on the package and increasing or decreasing your dose from there. Always be sure to talk with your doctor before using if you are taking any other medications.
  • Oil: Suggested serving size: 1 dropper/1 mL once per day
  • Gummies: 1 gummy
  • Body Butter, Salve, Lip Balm: Apply sparingly. Allow several minutes for the product to absorb into your skin.

We always recommend talking with your doctor before using CBD if you are taking any other medications.

The FDA strongly advises against the use of CBD in any form during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We always recommend talking with your doctor if you have any additional questions or concerns.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to CBD, and its effects can vary person by person. That’s why we organize our products based on how CBD can benefit you: pain & recovery, sleep & relaxation and stress relief & clarity.

While CBD does affect everyone differently, it is important to follow the directions listed on the package for best results—and to continue to use it consistently, even if you don’t feel or notice results right away. It can take a while for CBD to reach its peak effectiveness.

It may take up to two weeks of consistently using CBD for you to feel its effects, and how long it takes you to experience effects or benefits does vary from person to person. Once you’ve established your CBD routine, it typically takes one to two hours to feel the effects of each dose—shorter for ingestible products like our oils and gummies and longer for topical products like our body butters and salve. Depending on how much is in your body, the effects of CBD can last from two to six hours.

About Your Order

We charge a $10 flat rate for shipping and handling on purchases totaling less than $100. One reason for this is that our premium jars are heavier than standard CBD packaging, as they are made to be reused or upcycled. In addition, the natural ingredients in products such as our body butter must be kept at 75°F or lower to maintain the right consistency, so they are shipped with cold packs to retain quality.

About Verist

The growing process is a huge part of why it makes sense to choose Verist over any other hemp brand. As a fourth-generation family farm, we’ve been farming in the same part of the Minnesota River Valley for over 130 years. Our hemp selection process is another reason. We start with genetics that provide the highest therapeutic qualities, and then we further examine and identify the phenotype with the cannabinoids and terpenes we believe will be most desirable for the body and the palate. When it comes to the extraction process, we extract full-spectrum CBD to create products that have the most potential to be beneficial. While broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate may be right for some people, to us it feels more like taking a vitamin rather than just eating your vegetables.

All Verist CBD comes from a single source: our family farm in the Minnesota River Valley, where we have been farming for over 130 years. This is important because with single-origin CBD, you’ll be able to experience more consistent benefits than you would with a brand who gets their CBD from a variety of different sources. When you choose a single-origin brand, you can be sure you’re getting exactly what you expect, every time.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do here at Verist. When it comes to farming, we are fourth-generation farmers who know our soil, and we use sustainable farming practices to make sure we get the best results out of it. We also design all Verist jars and bottles to be reusable and recyclable. Check out some of our favorite ways to upcycle our containers on our blog.

Yes and yes! And with the exception of our gummies, our products are all vegan as well.

As of now, you can only purchase Verist products through our website.
